ABSTRACT
With the maturity of artificial organ technology, the use of artificial anal sphincters was proposed to help patients who suffered anal incontinence for various causes reconstruct rectal perception, monitor rectal pressure and diagnose rectal lesion. Aimed at the lack of signal pretreatment in the artificial anal sphincter system, we find a way to solve it, that is, the multi-dimensional reconstruction of the intestinal one-dimensional pressure signal sequence by using phase space reconstruction, and the separation of the reconstructed signal by using the improved fast independent component analysis algorithm. We did some relevant experiments, further extracted the features of the isolated rectal signal, and used back propagation neural network to diagnose the rectal lesions. Experiments show that the method can pretreat the rectal signal, and further analyze the separated signal to diagnose of rectal function. The improved fast independent component analysis algorithm has few iterations, fast convergence, short run time, low requirements on initial weights and good diagnosis. This study lays a foundation for the diagnosis of rectal function by using artificial anal sphincters.
