In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In the related art, medical care or technical staff need to operate various examination operations in the process of carrying out ultrasonic examination, and because switching is carried out in various operations in a manual mode, the switching efficiency is reduced, and subjective errors are easy to occur in the switching process. That is, the related art is mainly due to the need for a technician to memorize and switch a plurality of inspection operations according to the inspection contents related to the memorized operation. It can be seen that the switching of multiple inspection operations depends on the subjective memory of the technician, and not only is there a certain subjective omission, but also the switching operation is slow and inefficient.

Therefore, the ultrasonic examination method starts the corresponding ultrasonic examination process through the received examination starting instruction corresponding to the disease information, and then automatically executes the corresponding examination item sub-process according to the ultrasonic examination process in the examination process, so that the ultrasonic examination is realized, the automation degree of the operation process is improved, the technical personnel or the medical personnel memorize the ultrasonic operation process, the condition that different ultrasonic operations are switched by adopting a manual memory mode is avoided, and the efficiency of the ultrasonic examination is improved.

In order to solve the problem of low efficiency caused by switching different examination operations by a technician and avoid the adoption of different ultrasound examination operations which are subject to memory by the technician, an ultrasound examination method provided by the application is described below by an embodiment.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of an ultrasonic inspection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In this embodiment, the method may include:

s101, receiving an examination starting instruction corresponding to the disease species information;

it can be seen that this step is intended to receive an instruction to start an examination in order to start a corresponding ultrasound examination operation. Wherein the examination start instruction is an instruction corresponding to the disease type information.

That is, in the actual operation process, a plurality of examination start instructions corresponding to the disease species information are preset in the ultrasound system. Medical personnel only need click or input according to the disease category information of difference and begin the inspection instruction, can begin to carry out ultrasonic examination based on this begins the inspection instruction.

The examination starting instruction can be an examination starting instruction input by a technician or medical staff, and further, in the examination process, the technician or medical staff only needs to input the examination starting instruction into the ultrasound system, and does not need to input the complete operation instruction of each operation step into the system. The ultrasonic examination system can automatically send an examination starting instruction after the ultrasonic examination process is determined, and prompts technical staff or medical care to start corresponding examination operation, so that the operation process of the technical staff or the medical care staff is greatly facilitated, the whole process is free from inputting the operation instruction of each complete operation step, the ultrasonic examination system can be suitable for the non-touch examination process, the pollution caused by the fact that the technical staff or the medical care staff touch the system is avoided, and the convenience degree of operation is improved. The starting examination instruction can also be sent by the ultrasonic probe, and can be the starting examination instruction sent by triggering a key on the ultrasonic probe after a technician or medical personnel holds the ultrasonic probe, so that the technician or medical personnel is prevented from operating other equipment buttons, and the efficiency is improved.

The disease information may refer to a disease category of which the current patient or the examination object definitely needs to perform the ultrasound examination. The disease information can be severe pneumonia, new coronary pneumonia, pulmonary embolism and the like. Furthermore, the present step can determine what kind of disease needs to be examined at this time, and the following step is further performed to determine the ultrasound examination procedure of the kind of disease. The disease information may be condition information in the case where some disease information or diagnosis information is not very exact, that is, a specific disease has not been diagnosed clearly at this time. Such as acute abdominal pain or acute and severe cardiopulmonary disease.

S102, starting an ultrasonic examination flow corresponding to the disease species information based on the examination starting instruction; the ultrasonic examination process is obtained by configuring one or more examination item sub-processes according to the disease species information;

on the basis of S101, this step is intended to start an ultrasound examination flow corresponding to the disease species information based on the examination start instruction. The ultrasonic examination process in the step is obtained by configuring one or more examination item sub-processes according to the disease species information. As can be seen, the ultrasound examination flow is flow data that is configured to be completed before the ultrasound examination is performed. Matching the patient information to the corresponding ultrasonic examination process is equivalent to determining each examination sub-item which needs to be executed in the examination process corresponding to the patient information.

The ultrasonic examination process is obtained by configuring one or more examination item sub-processes according to the disease species information. That is, the ultrasound examination procedure in this step includes one or more examination item sub-procedures. Before the steps of this embodiment are executed, one or more examination item sub-processes may be configured according to the execution sequence to obtain the ultrasound examination process applied in this embodiment. The specific configuration method may refer to the reference manner provided in the following embodiments, which is not described herein again.

S103, according to the sequence of the examination item sub-processes in the ultrasonic examination process, the examination item sub-processes are sequentially executed so as to complete the ultrasonic examination.

On the basis of S102, this step is intended to sequentially execute the examination item sub-processes in accordance with the order of the examination item sub-processes in the ultrasound examination process so as to complete the ultrasound examination.

Furthermore, each sub-process of the inspection item is configured with one or more operation steps;

accordingly, the step of executing the check item sub-flow in S102 may include:

That is, one or more examination item sub-flows are configured in the ultrasound examination flow in the present embodiment in the order of execution. Wherein, each sub-flow of the inspection item is configured with one or more operation steps. The operation steps refer to various operation steps performed by the ultrasound system as an execution subject, including but not limited to probe switching, automatic annotation, diagnosis mode switching, imaging mode switching, and outputting prompt information and/or operation information.

Furthermore, the operation information corresponding to each operation step at least comprises one or more of the scanned ultrasonic section, the stored ultrasonic section, the body mark information, the probe information corresponding to each ultrasonic section, an automatic measurement mode, an automatic annotation mode, a section storage mode, diagnosis mode information and imaging mode information. The operation steps include, but are not limited to, scanning ultrasound slices, storing ultrasound slices, volume marker identification, probe switching, automatic measurement, automatic annotation, diagnostic mode switching, and imaging mode switching.

Each examination item sub-flow records the operation steps of the sub-item, and when the examination item sub-flow is executed, the operation steps of the sub-item are executed, so that the ultrasound system and the operator complete corresponding operations.

For example, if the disease type information is "pulmonary embolism", the corresponding ultrasound examination procedure is an ultrasound examination procedure of "pulmonary embolism examination", a button of "pulmonary embolism examination" may be displayed on a display interface of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus for click selection, and when the user clicks the button of "pulmonary embolism examination", the ultrasound examination procedure of "pulmonary embolism examination" is automatically entered. The ultrasonic examination process of the pulmonary embolism examination can comprise three examination item sub-processes, namely a severe cardiac ultrasonic examination sub-process, a severe pulmonary ultrasonic examination sub-process and a lower limb vein ultrasonic examination sub-process. The critical cardiac ultrasonography sub-process is set according to a critical cardiac ultrasonography protocol, the critical pulmonary ultrasonography sub-process is set according to a critical pulmonary ultrasonography protocol, and the lower limb venous ultrasonography sub-process is set according to a lower limb venous ultrasonography protocol; the sub-flow of the intensive cardiac ultrasonography may include operation step a, operation step B, and operation step C in the order of execution. Therefore, when the user clicks the button of the pulmonary embolism examination, the ultrasound system receives an examination starting instruction corresponding to the disease type information pulmonary embolism, and then automatically executes the three examination item sub-flows of the severe cardiac ultrasound examination sub-flow, the severe pulmonary ultrasound examination sub-flow and the lower limb vein ultrasound examination sub-flow in sequence; when the sub-flow of the intensive cardiac ultrasonography is executed, the operation step a, the operation step B, and the operation step C are sequentially executed. In addition, when the operation steps are executed, prompt information of the corresponding operation steps can be output so as to prompt the operator of the execution condition of the current operation step or guide the operator to carry out related operation.

In addition, although the inspection item sub-processes are executed in sequence in S103 according to the sequence of the inspection item sub-processes, it may mean that a plurality of inspection item sub-processes are included in the present embodiment. However, the ultrasound examination flow in the present embodiment may also include one examination item sub-flow, and only the single examination item sub-flow may be executed in the ultrasound examination flow. For example, only one examination item needs to be performed to complete the ultrasound examination during a portion of the ultrasound examination procedure. Moreover, only one examination item sub-process is executed, the operation steps can be automatically executed by the ultrasonic system, and the medical staff is prompted to operate, so that the ultrasonic examination efficiency is improved.

Further, the check item sub-process is performed for accuracy. When the ultrasound examination procedure includes a plurality of examination item sub-procedures, it is necessary to determine the current examination item sub-procedure. The determination mode of the current examination item sub-process may be to monitor the operation process of the user so as to obtain the current examination item sub-process, or may be information of the current examination item sub-process input to the ultrasound system by a technician or a medical worker, that is, information of which examination item sub-process is currently executed. Or a current examination item sub-flow determined according to the acquired current operation state of the ultrasonic equipment. It can be seen that the manner of determining the sub-flow of the current inspection item in this step is not unique, and is not specifically limited herein.

The operation step may include operation information, prompt information and operation parameters. The prompt message may include a guidance prompt message and a status prompt message. Wherein, the guidance prompt message can be a parameter input prompt message. That is, when technical staff or medical personnel carried out the inspection operation, ultrasonic system not only can export the instruction prompt message that is used for looking over to guide technical staff and medical personnel's operation process (for example, the suggestion user takes the probe and inspects the human body), can also directly carry out automatic setting through operating parameter to ultrasonic system, avoid technical staff or medical personnel to set up ultrasonic system again, improve technical staff or medical personnel and carry out the efficiency of ultrasonic examination.

Further, during actual operation, there are some operating parameters that need to be determined based on the current operating state. For example, the detection depth of the ultrasound needs to be set according to different physical constitutions of the patient. Thus, the prompt may include a parameter entry prompt to prompt the technician or caregiver to enter some of the parameters.

Further, in order to improve the convenience of outputting the operation information to the operation process, the step of sequentially executing the operation steps in the inspection item sub-flow according to the preset sequence in this step may include:

step 1, acquiring prompt information corresponding to the current operation step;

and 2, displaying prompt information and executing the current operation step so as to finish the ultrasonic examination.

It can be seen that the present alternative scheme mainly explains how the prompt message is displayed. In the alternative scheme, when an inspection starting instruction is received, the inspection item sub-processes corresponding to the current sub-processes are sequentially acquired according to the sequence of the plurality of inspection item sub-processes in the ultrasonic inspection process; acquiring prompt information corresponding to the current operation step of the inspection item sub-process according to a preset sequence; finally, the prompt message is displayed and the current operation steps are executed so as to complete the ultrasonic examination. That is, the operation step in this alternative includes displaying the prompt information. Further, the current operation step is performed to complete the ultrasound examination.

The prompt information may be guidance prompt information, and is mainly used for guiding medical care personnel or technical personnel to perform corresponding operations. For example, when the configuration of the ultrasound system is completed and the corresponding scanning operation needs to be executed, it is displayed that "the current configuration is completed and the probe is taken for scanning"; when the scanning of the current part is finished, the next scanning part needs to be switched, and the situation that the scanning of the current part is finished and the diaphragm is switched for scanning is displayed. The prompt message may also be a status prompt message, which is mainly used to display the current examination status, for example, to display "next four-chamber section to be examined next", or directly display "next". The guidance prompt may be a parameter input prompt, and the user prompts the user to input the parameter, for example, displaying "please input the probe depth".

The prompt information may be displayed on a display of the ultrasound system (i.e., the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus), or may be displayed on the mobile apparatus. In addition, the prompt information can also be reported in a voice mode.

Obviously, by including the prompt information display and executing the current operation steps in the embodiment, the technician can not only operate through the prompt information, but also the ultrasound system directly executes the operation steps in the examination process, thereby avoiding the technician or the medical staff from inputting various parameter information to the ultrasound system again. For example, in the operation step of switching the probes, after the switching operation step of closing the L741-type linear array probe and opening the 3C-a-type convex array probe is performed, the ultrasound system may prompt on a display screen that "please take the 3C-a-type convex array probe for examination", and then the medical care personnel may take the corresponding ultrasound probe according to the prompt information to scan the human body, so as to guide the medical care personnel to complete the examination.

In addition, there is some real-time input information during the operation to improve configurability of the ultrasound operation, and the prompt information in the last alternative includes parameter input prompt information.

Accordingly, step 2 of the last alternative may comprise:

displaying a parameter input prompt message so as to receive a temporary parameter; and acquiring temporary parameters and configuring according to the temporary parameters so as to execute the current operation step.

It can be seen that the prompt in this alternative may include a parameter input prompt. In the alternative, prompt information for parameter input is displayed so as to receive temporary parameters; and acquiring temporary parameters and configuring according to the temporary parameters so as to execute the current operation step.

Obviously, in the process of operation of technical personnel and medical personnel, the alternative scheme does not need to memorize the operation to be executed in each step, does not need to memorize the parameter information input in any flow, and only needs to operate according to the operation guidance prompt information or input the relevant parameters according to the parameter input prompt information, thereby greatly facilitating the inspection process of the technical personnel and the medical personnel and improving the inspection efficiency.

Further, in order to improve the degree of automation in the ultrasonic examination process, avoid medical personnel to operate each item parameter in the ultrasonic process, reduce the pollution probability, according to predetermined order in this step, carry out the step of the operation step in the examination item sub-process in proper order, can include:

step 1, obtaining operation parameters corresponding to the current operation step;

and 2, automatically configuring the operation parameters to execute the current operation step.

It can be seen that the present alternative is primarily illustrative of the automatic configuration of operating parameters in the execution of the operating steps. In this alternative, the operation parameters corresponding to the current operation step are first obtained. The operation parameter is a parameter set in advance in the operation step, and may be a parameter set by a technician experience, or a parameter determined according to historical operation information. On the basis of the acquired operating parameters, the operating parameters may be automatically configured to perform the current operating step.

Obviously, by adopting the alternative scheme, the medical staff can be prevented from carrying out parameter configuration on the ultrasonic system, the automation degree of the ultrasonic system is further improved, the pollution probability is reduced, and the examination efficiency of the medical staff is greatly improved.

Further, in order to improve the accuracy of operation monitoring for technicians or medical personnel and further execute the current examination item sub-process at an accurate time, the method may include the following steps:

step 1, monitoring an ultrasonic inspection process according to a preset period to obtain a current inspection item sub-process;

step 2, obtaining the operation step of the current inspection item sub-process;

and 3, sequentially executing the operation steps corresponding to the sub-process of the current examination item according to the sequence of the operation steps of the sub-process of the current examination item so as to complete the ultrasonic examination.

Therefore, in the alternative, how to obtain the sub-process of the current inspection item is mainly explained. In the alternative scheme, an ultrasonic inspection process is monitored according to a preset period to obtain a current inspection item sub-process; then, obtaining the operation steps of the current inspection project sub-process; and finally, sequentially executing the operation steps corresponding to the sub-process of the current examination item according to the sequence of the operation steps of the sub-process of the current examination item so as to complete the ultrasonic examination. The alternative scheme mainly monitors the ultrasonic inspection process so as to determine the sub-process of the current inspection item, further determine the operation steps of the sub-process of the current inspection item, and finally sequentially execute the operation steps. Obviously, the monitoring operation in the alternative scheme can determine the sub-process of the current inspection item in real time, improve the accuracy of determining the current sub-process, further execute the sub-process of the current inspection item at accurate time, and reduce the error of the inspection process.

In summary, in the present embodiment, the corresponding ultrasound examination process is started through the received examination starting instruction corresponding to the disease type information, and then the corresponding examination item sub-process is automatically executed according to the ultrasound examination process in the examination process, so as to implement the ultrasound examination, so that the automation degree of the operation process is improved, instead of the technical staff or the medical staff memorizing the ultrasound operation process, thereby avoiding the manual memorizing mode to switch different ultrasound operations, and improving the efficiency of the ultrasound examination.

The following describes an ultrasound examination flow matching method in the ultrasound examination method provided by the present application, by way of an example.

In this embodiment, the matching method may include:

step 1, acquiring disease species information;

this step aims to obtain the information of the disease species.

The mode of acquiring the disease information can be acquired according to different application conditions. For example, it may be that the technician or healthcare enters the disease information directly, and the maintenance technician or healthcare may have greater operability on the system. Or the medical record log data of the current examination object can be acquired, so that other manual operations are avoided, and the efficiency is improved. The disease type information can also be determined according to other examination information of the obtained examination object. Wherein, the other examination information includes but is not limited to blood examination information, body fluid examination information, and medical examination information. Furthermore, a plurality of possible disease information can be displayed through other examination information, and the medical staff determines the corresponding disease information after selecting the disease information.

Further, in order to improve the efficiency of acquiring the disease information, avoid medical personnel's too much operation, improve ultrasound system's availability factor, this step can include:

and determining the disease information according to the medical record log data.

Therefore, in the alternative, the disease information is directly determined through the medical record log data. The medical record log data is log data generated in the process of seeing a doctor of a patient or a seeing a doctor object. The patient or the patient can be determined from the medical record log data, and the historical examination process can be determined. Through the analysis of the disease condition and the historical examination process, the examination of what kind of disease needs to be done currently can be determined. For example, since the patient is determined by the disease condition and the history of the examination procedure and the patient is determined to be the time when the severe pneumonia examination is performed, the disease type information is the severe pneumonia, and the examination performed accordingly is the severe pneumonia examination. Therefore, the disease information required to be checked at present can be automatically determined by determining the disease information through the medical record log data, so that technical personnel or medical personnel are prevented from inputting other disease information, and the execution efficiency is improved.

And 2, matching the corresponding ultrasonic examination process according to the disease species information.

On the basis of step 1, this step is intended to match the corresponding ultrasound examination procedure according to the patient type information. That is, before the ultrasonic examination is performed for each item of disease type information, the corresponding ultrasonic examination flow is matched according to the disease type information, so that the ultrasonic examination is directly performed by using the corresponding ultrasonic examination flow through the examination starting instruction corresponding to the disease type information.

Furthermore, the corresponding ultrasonic examination process can be matched through fields in the disease species information in the step. The corresponding ultrasonic examination process can be matched through the disease type code in the disease type information, and the required ultrasonic examination process can be determined from the plurality of ultrasonic examination processes according to the received selection information. The operability of the operation and inspection process of the technical personnel or the medical personnel is improved.

In conclusion, through the ultrasonic examination process matched with the disease information in advance in the embodiment, the corresponding examination item sub-process is executed according to the ultrasonic examination process in the examination process, the ultrasonic examination is realized, the automation degree of the operation process is improved, the ultrasonic operation process is not memorized by technical personnel or medical personnel, the condition that different ultrasonic operations are switched by adopting a manual memory mode is avoided, and the efficiency of the ultrasonic examination is improved.

The following describes a configuration of an ultrasound inspection flow in an ultrasound inspection method provided by the present application, with a specific example.

In the ultrasonic examination process, namely the workflow protocol, the ultrasonic examination process is established according to the name of the disease category, and then the examination item sub-process corresponding to the ultrasonic examination process is added into the process. The ultrasonic operation library can be added with a sub-flow of a critical heart examination item, a sub-flow of a critical abdomen examination item, a sub-flow of a critical gastrointestinal examination item, a sub-flow of a critical blood vessel examination item, a sub-flow of a diaphragmatic muscle examination item, a sub-flow of a critical lung examination item and the like. It should be noted that each examination item sub-flow is set by a corresponding ultrasound working protocol, for example, the critical gastrointestinal examination item sub-flow is set by a critical gastrointestinal ultrasound protocol.

Each ultrasonic examination process is configured with one or more examination item sub-processes corresponding to the disease species information. Such as: the ultrasonic examination process of severe pneumonia or new coronary pneumonia can comprise a severe cardiac examination item sub-process and a severe pulmonary examination item sub-process; the ultrasonic examination process of the pulmonary embolism can comprise a severe cardiac examination item sub-process, a severe pulmonary examination item sub-process and a lower limb vein examination item sub-process.

Moreover, the ultrasound examination procedures of different disease types can share the same examination item sub-procedure, for example, the ultrasound examination procedure of severe pneumonia or new coronary pneumonia and the ultrasound examination procedure of pulmonary embolism both comprise a severe cardiac examination item sub-procedure.

In addition, when acute and severe cardiopulmonary function problems including sudden death rescue and other situations occur, an ECMO (namely an artificial lung) is often needed, and the ECMO can be used for auxiliary examination on a human body by using an ultrasonic examination means in the stages of pre-implementation, in-implementation, machine withdrawal opportunity evaluation, machine withdrawal monitoring and the like, so that clinical problems can be solved quickly, risks can be avoided, and complications can be reduced. Therefore, in the stages of the ECMO before implementation, during implementation, machine withdrawal timing evaluation, machine withdrawal monitoring and the like, the scheme of the embodiment may be adopted to configure corresponding ultrasonic inspection processes for each stage, so as to improve the efficiency of the evaluation process.

the operation information corresponding to each operation step at least comprises one or more of scanned ultrasonic sections, stored ultrasonic sections, body mark information, probe information, automatic measurement modes, automatic annotation modes, section storage modes, diagnosis mode information and imaging mode information corresponding to each ultrasonic section.

It can be seen that, each operation step further includes corresponding operation information, where the operation information is automatically obtained and used by the ultrasound system during the execution of the corresponding operation step, for example, when the operation step of switching the diagnosis mode is executed, the ultrasound system obtains the diagnosis mode information of the current operation step and the diagnosis mode information of the next operation step, and then automatically performs the operation of switching the diagnosis mode according to the obtained diagnosis mode information. In addition, the related operation information can also be used for information display, operation log formation and parameter configuration of the ultrasonic system.

The operation steps include, but are not limited to, scanning ultrasound slices, storing ultrasound slices, volume marker identification, probe switching, automatic measurement, automatic annotation, diagnostic mode switching, or imaging mode switching. That is, each time an operation step is performed, one of the operations is performed.

Further, when a new disease category appears and a new examination process is required, a new ultrasound examination process can be established and one or more examination item sub-processes can be configured for the new ultrasound examination process.

For example, when the ultrasound examination procedure is applied to a critical care ultrasound consultation procedure, a critical care cardiac examination item sub-procedure and a critical care pulmonary examination item sub-procedure can be configured in an ultrasound system setting. The sub-process of the critical cardiac examination item mainly evaluates the thickness of the chamber wall, the inner diameter of the chamber, the function of the left heart and the like. The corresponding operation information may include: phased probe information (such as phased probe 3P-A), cardiac diagnosis mode, section information to be scanned and stored; the tangent plane information may include: a four-chamber section under the sword, a sagittal section under the xiphoid process, a four-chamber section at the apex of the heart, a long axis section beside the sternum and a short axis section of the aorta.

Wherein, the sub-process of the severe pulmonary examination project mainly evaluates the thoracic cavities and lungs at both sides, and determines whether pneumothorax exists or not, the volume of liquid in the thoracic cavity, the B line at the distance of 3mm and 7mm, and the like; the corresponding operation information may include: convex array probe information (such as convex array probe 3C-A), lung diagnosis mode, section information required to be scanned and stored; the tangent plane information may include: upper locus of the uterus, lower locus of the uterus, diaphragm line, PLAPS (posterior alveolar/pleural syndrome) point, and posterior locus of the uterus. Thus, the ultrasound system can utilize the operation information to execute the relevant operation steps; for example, when the ultrasound system performs an operation step of scanning a diaphragm muscle line section, the L741 type linear array probe is automatically opened, the diagnosis mode is automatically switched to the lung diagnosis mode, and meanwhile, prompt information can be sent to a user: "the L741 linear array probe has been opened and switched to the lung diagnosis mode, please take the L741 probe to scan the section of the diaphragm line".

It can be seen that the configured ultrasound examination procedure can be applied to a certain disease or a certain examination through the above process. Further, in the process of configuring the ultrasound examination flow, an operation step of acquiring each examination item sub-flow is required.

When configuring the relevant operational steps, there may be operational steps entered into the ultrasound system by a technician or medical personnel; or the determination can be performed according to the previous examination log data, namely, the execution sequence of the ultrasonic examination process, each examination operation and each examination operation step are determined from the examination log data, so that the input of repeated information into the ultrasonic system by technicians or medical personnel is avoided, and the efficiency of configuring the process is improved; the method can also be used for determining partial operation steps by technical personnel and medical personnel input parts, determining partial operation steps through the examination log data and further determining the operation steps in a manual and automatic mode, so that the efficiency is improved, the operation steps can be set in a personalized mode, more examination log data can be applied, and the configuration efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that the ultrasound examination process and the corresponding examination item sub-process, operation steps (including corresponding operation information, prompt information, etc.), execution sequence, etc. may be preset in advance. The above-mentioned manner of obtaining the operation steps from the history information or the examination log is only one of the manners.

In order to improve the efficiency of configuring the ultrasound examination procedure and avoid tedious input operation steps into the device by a technician or a medical care provider, the configuration method in this embodiment may include:

referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a configuration manner of an ultrasound inspection flow in an ultrasound inspection method according to an embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment, the configuration manner may include:

s201, matching a plurality of corresponding inspection item sub-processes to the disease information according to the historical operation log;

the step aims to match a plurality of corresponding inspection item sub-processes for the disease information according to the historical operation log.

It can be seen that this step is intended to illustrate how to determine the corresponding sub-processes of the plurality of examination items from the disease category information. In general, in another configuration, it is possible to determine, from the examination item sub-processes directly input by the user, a plurality of examination item sub-processes corresponding to the patient information. And a plurality of examination item sub-processes matched with the disease information can be determined according to medical standard operation manual data.

Furthermore, in this step, a plurality of inspection item sub-processes corresponding to the disease type information are determined through the historical operation log. That is, it is determined through the history operation log what kind of examination item sub-process is performed with respect to the disease type information. The historical operation log mainly refers to records of operation steps performed in the ultrasonic examination process which is performed in the past.

Therefore, a plurality of examination item sub-processes which are correspondingly matched with the current disease information can be determined through the historical operation log. The examination item sub-process can be determined according to the operation steps in the historical operation log, or the operation steps in the examination item sub-process library can be adopted, or the operation steps of the examination item sub-process in other ultrasonic examination processes can be adopted. It can be seen that, as long as the content in the inspection item sub-process is kept accurate, the operation steps of the inspection item sub-process can be obtained from different places, which is not specifically limited herein.

S202, combining the plurality of examination item sub-processes according to the operation sequence to obtain the ultrasonic examination process.

On the basis of S201, this step is intended to combine a plurality of examination item sub-flows in the order of operation, resulting in an ultrasound examination flow. That is, on the basis of the previous step, on the basis of obtaining the multiple examination item sub-processes matched with the disease type information, the multiple examination item sub-processes are combined according to the operation sequence, and the ultrasonic examination process can be obtained.

The operation sequence may be the corresponding operation sequence obtained from the historical operation log, may also be the sequence information directly received from the user as the operation sequence, or may also be the operation sequence determined according to the coupling information in each inspection item sub-flow. It is to be understood that the manner of obtaining the operation sequence in this step is not exclusive, and is not limited herein.

In addition, how to configure the check item sub-flow is explained by an alternative scheme below. In order to improve the efficiency of configuring the inspection item sub-process, the embodiment may further include:

step 1, determining operation steps corresponding to the sub-processes of the inspection items from historical operation data and historical configuration information.

And 2, saving the operation steps as an inspection item sub-process.

It can be seen that in the present alternative, the operation step is determined by historical operation data and historical configuration information. The historical operation data may be recorded log data of the corresponding previous ultrasonic examination, operation data obtained by performing identification and analysis on a medical examination standard manual, or operation data obtained by performing corresponding identification on an operation video. It is understood that the manner of acquiring the operation data in this alternative is not exclusive and is not limited herein. Wherein the operational steps determinable from the historical operational data and the historical configuration information may include scanning ultrasound slices, storing ultrasound slices, volume marker identification, probe switching, automatic measurement, automatic annotation, diagnostic mode switching, and imaging mode switching. The operation information corresponding to each operation step at least comprises one or more of scanned ultrasonic sections, stored ultrasonic sections, body mark information, probe information, automatic measurement modes, automatic annotation modes, section storage modes, diagnosis mode information and imaging mode information corresponding to each ultrasonic section.

It can be seen that, in the ultrasonic inspection flow configuration method provided in this embodiment, the ultrasonic inspection flow is configured, and the inspection item sub-flow is further configured, so that each operation step in one ultrasonic inspection flow is set in the workflow, so that the automation degree of the inspection process is improved in the inspection process, and the inspection efficiency is improved.

An ultrasonic inspection method provided by the present application is further described below by a specific scenario embodiment.

Wherein, when the diaphragm line is tangent, a linear array probe such as L741 is configured.

Therefore, the specific implementation process of the ultrasound examination method for critical emergency consultation in this embodiment may include:

step 1, a button of 'critical emergency consultation ultrasonic examination' can be displayed on a display interface of the ultrasonic diagnosis equipment for clicking selection.

And 2, automatically entering the ultrasonic examination process of the severe acute consultation ultrasonic examination after the user clicks the button of the severe acute consultation ultrasonic examination.

And 3, the ultrasonic system executes the operation steps in the sub-process of the severe cardiac examination item according to a preset sequence and displays the prompt information of the current operation step so that a user can perform scanning action according to the relevant prompt information.

Specifically, when the sub-process of the critical cardiac examination item is performed, the ultrasound system automatically enters the operation steps of scanning the sections such as the four-cavity section under the sword, the sagittal section under the sword, the four-cavity section at the apex of the heart, the long axis section beside the sternum, the short axis section of the aortｃA and the like in sequence, automatically switches to the cardiac diagnosis mode or keeps the cardiac diagnosis mode of the previous step according to the preset mode in each section scanning operation step, automatically opens or starts the ultrasound probe (such as ｃA 3P- ｃA type phase control probe) required in each section scanning operation step, and simultaneously gives corresponding prompt information, so that the user can take the corresponding phase control probe to scan the human body according to the corresponding prompt information.

And 4, when the execution of the sub-process of the severe cardiac examination item is finished, the ultrasonic system acquires that the sub-process of the current examination item is the sub-process of the severe pulmonary examination item, executes the operation steps of the sub-process of the severe pulmonary examination item according to a preset sequence, and displays corresponding prompt information.

And 5, when the execution of the sub-process of the severe lung examination item is finished, outputting a scanning result by the ultrasonic system.

It should be noted that, when the operation steps of scanning each section are performed, the scanning operation of the next section is started only after the scanning operation of the previous section is completed; in the operation step of scanning each section, after the user finishes scanning each section, the ultrasonic system can automatically execute the storage operation of the ultrasonic section image. In addition, the corresponding standard section image can be automatically identified, and the operations of body marking, measurement, annotation and the like on the standard section image can be automatically executed. It should be noted that, in each section scanning operation step, if the ultrasound probe turned on in the current operation step is used in the next operation step, the ultrasound probe used in the current operation step may not be turned off and then turned on again, but may be maintained in a state of being turned on continuously. In addition, the above methods related to automatically recognizing the standard section, the automatic body mark, the automatic measurement and the automatic annotation may be any one of the methods in the prior art, for example, AI recognition may be used, and the present embodiment does not limit this.
