[Bowel Sounds Detection Method Based on ResNet-BiLSTM and Attention Mechanism].

Bowel sounds can reflect the movement and health status of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the traditional manual auscultation method has subjective deviation and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In order to better assist doctors in diagnosing bowel sounds and improve the reliability and efficiency of bowel sound detection, this study proposed a deep neural network model that combines a residual neural network (ResNet), a bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM), and an attention mechanism. Firstly, a large number of labeled clinical data was collected using the self-developed multi-channel bowel sound acquisition system, and the multi-scale wavelet decomposition and reconstruction method was used to preprocess the bowel sounds. Then, log Mel spectrogram features were extracted and sent to the network for training. Finally, the performance and effectiveness of the model were evaluated and verified by 10-fold cross-validation and an ablation experiment. The experimental results showed that the precision, recall, and score of the model reached 83%, 76%, and 79%, respectively, and it could effectively detect bowel sound segments and locate their start and end times, performing better than previous algorithms. This algorithm can not only provide auxiliary information for doctors in clinical practice but also offer technical support for further analysis and research of bowel sounds.
