Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. Wherein like elements in different embodiments are numbered with like associated elements. In the following description, numerous details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some of the features may be omitted or replaced with other elements, materials, methods in different instances. In some instances, certain operations related to the present application have not been shown or described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the core of the present application from excessive description, and it is not necessary for those skilled in the art to describe these operations in detail, so that they may be fully understood from the description in the specification and the general knowledge in the art.
Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. Also, the various steps or actions in the method descriptions may be transposed or transposed in order, as will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Thus, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are for the purpose of describing certain embodiments only and are not intended to imply a required sequence unless otherwise indicated where such sequence must be followed.
The numbering of the components as such, e.g., "first", "second", etc., is used herein only to distinguish the objects as described, and does not have any sequential or technical meaning. The term "connected" and "coupled" when used in this application, unless otherwise indicated, includes both direct and indirect connections (couplings).
The ultrasonic imaging equipment provided by the invention integrates parameters required to be selected by a user to the maximum extent in a mode of binding the probe, the inspection mode and the animal type on a single interface interactive element, thereby achieving the switching of a 'simple' mode. The following description will be made by way of specific examples.
As shown in fig. 1, the ultrasound imaging apparatus provided by the present invention includes an ultrasound probe 30, a transmitting/receiving circuit 40 (i.e., a transmitting circuit 410 and a receiving circuit 420), a beam forming module 50, an IQ demodulation module 60, a processor 20, a human-computer interaction device 70, and a memory 80.
The ultrasonic probe 30 includes a transducer (not shown) composed of a plurality of array elements arranged in an array, the plurality of array elements are arranged in a row to form a linear array, or are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix to form an area array, and the plurality of array elements may also form a convex array. The array elements are used for transmitting ultrasonic waves according to the excitation electric signals or converting the received ultrasonic waves into electric signals. Each array element can thus be used to convert electrical pulse signals and ultrasound waves into one another, so that ultrasound waves can be transmitted to the object 10 to be imaged and echoes of ultrasound waves reflected back through the tissue can also be received. In the ultrasonic detection, it can be controlled by the transmitting circuit 410 and the receiving circuit 420 which array elements are used for transmitting ultrasonic waves and which array elements are used for receiving ultrasonic waves, or the time slots of the array elements are controlled for transmitting ultrasonic waves or receiving echoes of ultrasonic waves. The array elements participating in ultrasonic wave transmission can be simultaneously excited by the electric signals, so that the ultrasonic waves are transmitted simultaneously; or the array elements participating in the ultrasonic wave transmission can be excited by a plurality of electric signals with certain time intervals, so that the ultrasonic waves with certain time intervals are continuously transmitted.
The array elements, for example, using piezoelectric crystals, convert the electrical signals into ultrasound signals according to the transmit sequence transmitted by transmit circuitry 410, which may include one or more scan pulses, one or more reference pulses, one or more push pulses, and/or one or more doppler pulses, depending on the application. The ultrasonic signals include focused waves, plane waves, divergent waves, and the like according to the morphology of the waves.
The user selects a suitable position and angle by moving the ultrasonic probe 30 to transmit ultrasonic waves to the object 10 to be imaged and receive echoes of the ultrasonic waves returned by the object 10 to be imaged, and outputs ultrasonic echo signals, wherein the ultrasonic echo signals are channel analog electric signals formed by taking the receiving array elements as channels and carry amplitude information, frequency information and time information.
The transmitting circuit 410 is configured to generate a transmitting sequence according to the control of the processor 20, where the transmitting sequence is configured to control some or all of the plurality of array elements to transmit ultrasonic waves to the object to be imaged, and the transmitting sequence parameters include the position of the array element for transmission, the number of array elements, and ultrasonic beam transmitting parameters (e.g., amplitude, frequency, number of transmissions, transmitting interval, transmitting angle, wave pattern, focusing position, etc.). In some cases, the transmit circuitry 410 is further configured to phase delay the transmitted beams to cause different transmit elements to transmit ultrasound at different times so that each transmitted ultrasound beam can be focused at a predetermined region of interest. In different operation modes, such as a B image mode, a C image mode, and a D image mode (doppler mode), the parameters of the transmit sequence may be different, and the echo signals received by the receiving circuit 420 and processed by the subsequent modules and corresponding algorithms may generate a B image reflecting the anatomical structure of the tissue, a C image reflecting the blood flow information, and a D image reflecting the doppler spectrum image.
The receiving circuit 420 is configured to receive the ultrasonic echo signal from the ultrasonic probe 30 and process the ultrasonic echo signal. The receive circuit 420 may include one or more amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and the like. The amplifier is used for amplifying the received echo signal after proper gain compensation, and the amplifier is used for sampling the analog echo signal according to a preset time interval so as to convert the analog echo signal into a digitized echo signal, wherein amplitude information, frequency information and phase information are still reserved in the digitized echo signal. The data output by the receiving circuit 420 may be output to the beamforming module 50 for processing or to the memory 80 for storage.
The beam forming module 50 is connected to the receiving circuit 420 for performing beam forming processing such as corresponding delay and weighted summation on the echo signal, because distances from the ultrasonic receiving point in the measured tissue to the receiving array elements are different, channel data of the same receiving point output by different receiving array elements have delay difference, delay processing is required, phases are aligned, and weighted summation is performed on different channel data of the same receiving point to obtain ultrasonic image data after beam forming, and the ultrasonic image data output by the beam forming module 50 is also referred to as radio frequency data (RF data). The beam synthesis module 50 outputs the radio frequency data to the IQ demodulation module 60. In some embodiments, the beam forming module 50 may also output the rf data to the memory 80 for buffering or saving, or directly output the rf data to the processor 20 for image processing.
Beamforming module 50 may perform the above functions in hardware, firmware, or software, for example, beamforming module 50 may include a central controller Circuit (CPU), one or more microprocessor chips, or any other electronic components capable of processing input data according to specific logic instructions, which when implemented in software, may execute instructions stored on a tangible and non-transitory computer readable medium (e.g., memory) to perform beamforming calculations using any suitable beamforming method. The beam forming module 50 may be integrated into the processor 20 or may be separately disposed, and the invention is not limited thereto.
The IQ demodulation module 60 removes the signal carrier by IQ demodulation, extracts the tissue structure information included in the signal, and performs filtering to remove noise, and the signal obtained at this time is referred to as a baseband signal (IQ data pair). The IQ demodulation module 60 outputs the IQ data pair to the processor 20 for image processing.
In some embodiments, the IQ demodulation module 60 further buffers or saves the IQ data pair output to the memory 80, so that the processor 20 reads the data from the memory 80 for subsequent image processing.
The IQ demodulation module 60 may also perform the above functions in hardware, firmware or software, and in some embodiments, the IQ demodulation module 60 may also be integrated with the beam synthesis module 50 in a single chip.
The processor 20 is used for a central controller Circuit (CPU), one or more microprocessors, a graphics controller circuit (GPU) or any other electronic components configured to process input data according to specific logic instructions, and may control peripheral electronic components according to the input instructions or predetermined instructions, or perform data reading and/or saving on the memory 80, or may process input data by executing programs in the memory 80, such as performing one or more processing operations on acquired ultrasound data according to one or more working modes, the processing operations including, but not limited to, adjusting or defining the form of ultrasound waves emitted by the ultrasound probe 30, generating various image frames for display by a display of the subsequent human-computer interaction device 70, or adjusting or defining the content and form of display on the display, or adjusting one or more image display settings (e.g., ultrasound images, graphics processing data, etc.) displayed on the display, Interface components, locating regions of interest).
The acquired ultrasound data may be processed by the processor 20 in real time during the scan as the echo signals are received, or may be temporarily stored on the memory 80 and processed in near real time in an online or offline operation.
In this embodiment, the processor 20 controls the operations of the transmitting circuit 410 and the receiving circuit 420, for example, controls the transmitting circuit 410 and the receiving circuit 420 to operate alternately or simultaneously. The processor 20 may also determine an appropriate operation mode according to the selection of the user or the setting of the program, form a transmission sequence corresponding to the current operation mode, and send the transmission sequence to the transmitting circuit 410, so that the transmitting circuit 410 controls the ultrasound probe 30 to transmit the ultrasound wave using the appropriate transmission sequence.
The processor 20 is also operative to process the ultrasound data to generate a gray scale image of the signal intensity variations over the scan range, which reflects the anatomical structure inside the tissue, referred to as a B-image. The processor 20 may output the B image to a display of the human-computer interaction device 70 for display.
The human-computer interaction device 70 is used for human-computer interaction, namely receiving input of a user and outputting visual information; the input of the user can be received by a keyboard, an operating button, a mouse, a track ball, a touch pad and the like, and a touch screen integrated with a display can also be adopted; the display can be used for outputting visual information.
Based on the ultrasonic imaging device shown in fig. 1, the switching method of the animal modes is shown in fig. 2, and includes the following steps:
step 1, the processor 20 displays one or more (at least one) interactive elements on a display interface of the human-computer interaction device according to a preset rule, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4. On the interactive element d are displayed an animal identification for identifying the type of animal to which the veterinary mode is applicable, a probe identification for identifying the type of probe used in the veterinary mode, and an inspection mode identification for identifying the inspection mode used in the veterinary mode. The animal mark can be presented in the form of animal icon, text, etc., such as "dog (5-15 kg)", "cat", "dog (> 15 kg)", etc. in fig. 3. The probe identification may also be presented in the form of a probe icon, model, or model abbreviation, such as "C11-3 s", "L12-4 s" in FIG. 3, and so on. The examination mode usually depends on the examined part, so the examination mode mark can be directly presented in the form of short words, such as "abdomen", "heart", etc. in fig. 3.
The probe types can be classified according to diagnosis parts, application modes, the number of vibration elements, beam control modes, geometric shapes and the like, and determine a part of parameters (the part of parameters are different according to different probe types) in ultrasonic scanning and subsequent image processing, for example, the transmitting sequence parameters and the receiving sequence parameters of different probe types are different. Animal types can be categorized by common (e.g., feline, canine) and non-common animals (categorized into other animals), and can be further subdivided into body types or body weights. Different animal types also determine a part of parameters in the ultrasound scanning and the subsequent image processing (the part of parameters is different with different animal types), for example, the annotation of the ultrasound image, the postural picture name/type, the measurement items and the like of different animal types can be different. The examination modes can be classified according to the scanned parts, which also determine a part of parameters (which are different according to the examination modes) in the ultrasonic scanning and the subsequent image processing, for example, the scanning sections, the annotations, the measurement items and the like of different examination modes are different. It can be seen that the interactive element can identify a veterinary mode for activating the identified veterinary mode upon being selected.
During the daily use of the ultrasound imaging apparatus, the processor 20 may record the animal modes activated all the time, obtain the recorded information and store the recorded information in the memory 80, so that a plurality of interactive elements may be displayed on the display interface according to the recorded information and the preset rule. The preset rules may be various and may be selected by the user as to which rule to employ.
For example, the processor 20 obtains the record information from the memory 80, generates a plurality of corresponding interactive elements d according to a plurality of recently recorded animal modes, and displays the interactive elements d ordered in time sequence on the display interface of the human-computer interaction device. Since the current rule is displayed according to the latest usage record, the processor 20 may further display an abbreviation e of the preset rule at a position adjacent to an interactive element d, such as "latest usage" shown in fig. 3, so that the user can clearly determine according to which rule the current interactive element d is generated.
For another example, the processor 20 obtains the record information from the memory 80, counts the usage frequency of the animal modes, and generates a plurality of corresponding interactive elements according to the animal modes with the highest usage frequency, that is, sorts the animal modes according to the usage frequency, and generates interactive elements from the animal modes with the top rank; and displaying the plurality of interactive elements which are sequenced according to the use frequency on a display interface of the human-computer interaction device. Similarly, the processor 20 may display a short name of a preset rule at a position adjacent to an interactive element d, so that a user can clearly determine according to which rule the current interactive element d is generated.
For another example, the processor 20 obtains the record information from the memory 80, counts the number of usage times of the animal modes, and generates a plurality of corresponding interactive elements d according to the animal modes with the highest usage times, that is, sorts the animal modes according to the number of usage times, and generates interactive elements from the animal modes ranked at the top; and displaying the plurality of interactive elements sorted according to the using times on a display interface of the man-machine interaction device. Similarly, the processor 20 may display a short name of a preset rule at a position adjacent to an interactive element d, so that a user can clearly determine according to which rule the current interactive element d is generated.
No matter what rule is adopted, the user can conveniently switch the animal mode back and forth, and the operation efficiency can be greatly improved when ultrasonic examination is needed to be carried out on a large number of animals.
The number of the displayed interactive elements can be preset by the system, and can also be set according to the requirements of the user, such as 4, 5, and the like.
Step 2, the user selects one of the interactive elements, which is equivalent to issuing an instruction for selecting one interactive element, and the processor 20 receives the instruction for selecting one interactive element through the human-computer interaction device 70, and activates the animal mode identified by the selected interactive element in response to the instruction, for example, switches the currently activated animal mode to the animal mode identified by the selected interactive element, or directly activates the animal mode identified by the selected interactive element if any animal mode is not currently activated.
In this embodiment, the human-computer interaction device 70 includes a main display and a touch screen, the main display is used for displaying the ultrasound image, and the interaction elements are displayed on the touch screen. The ultrasonic images and the interactive elements are displayed on different display screens, so that the display of the ultrasonic images can be maximized, the blind operation of the interactive elements can be realized, and the human-computer interaction efficiency is high. The interactive element can be a virtual key, so that the user can realize the switching of the veterinary mode only by clicking the desired interactive element, and the method is very convenient and fast. The interactive element may reside on the touch screen, for example, as shown in fig. 4, and reside directly on the right side of the touch screen, and may be displayed and operated without any key operation. The purpose of switching the probe, the inspection mode and the animal type can be achieved by clicking any interactive element virtual key, and one-key switching is achieved. Certainly, the interactive element may also be displayed on the touch screen under the trigger of a target operation instruction input by the user, that is, the user needs to input the target operation instruction through the human-computer interaction device, for example, click a specific key, to display the interactive element.
And 3, scanning the biological tissue according to the activated animal mode to obtain an ultrasonic image and displaying the ultrasonic image on a display interface of the main display. Activating the animal-use mode, namely enabling parameters corresponding to the animal-use mode to perform during the ultrasound scanning and subsequent image processing, presentation, annotation, measurement, map storage and the like, so as to obtain various ultrasound images required by a user.
In conclusion, in the using process of the device, the used probe, the examination mode and the animal type are recorded, and the information of the triad is presented as an interactive element for the user to select, so that the animal mode can be switched according to the selection of the user, and the device is very convenient.
