Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to Medical Image Processing, ultrasonic temperature imaging, radio frequency burns technical field, particularly relate to for
Radio frequency burns in operation, modulates Nakagami imaging and the monitoring radio frequency ablation device of Gauss polynomial matching and calculation based on window
Method research.
Background technology
In medical research, ultrasonography is mainly used in fetus and produces inspection, breast ultrasound detection [1], observation blood vessel
The flowing of middle blood and the motion [2,3] etc. of observation internal organs;The transducer mid frequency of ultrasonic instrument arrives between 5MHz
Between 15MHz.Wherein the main imaging mode for picture control includes mode A (amplitude modulation), B mould
Formula (brightness modulation), M-mode (motion modulation) and doppler mode;The most especially with B-mode
Be most widely used.The operation principle of ultrasonography is mainly sent ultrasonic signal by transducer, then ultrasound wave letter
After number being reflected by organ-tissue, then by pulse-echo technique (pulse echo technique), these ultrasonic reflections are believed
Number it is back to supersonic transducer, is then passed through imaging on instrument after algorithm process via transducer.
Primary hepatocarcinoma is the most current modal liver malignancy, and its sickness rate increases the most day by day,
Because B-mode and infection with hepatitis C virus sickness rate is more and more higher.Excision and liver transplantation are considered as to treat liver at present
The primary treatments of cell carcinoma.But, only small number of patients is suitable for operation.Therefore, effective and safe controlling is formulated
Treat the therapeutic strategy of hepatocarcinoma it is critical that [1-3].
Radio frequency ablation therapy (radio frequency ablation) is that wound is little, cost is low and is applied to face for one
One of the thermal therapeutical method of most successful treatment primary hepatocarcinoma of bed [4].During treatment, doctor can melt electricity one
Pole is inserted into the cancer site of patient, then carrys out the cancer site to patient by instrument controlling power and treats.Therefore in treatment
During observe heated by electrodes the size of scope most important, it is necessary to heated perimeter is controlled to most suitable scope to protect
Patient is caused the post-surgical trauma of minimum by card.And Nakagami imaging mode is in the formation method that monitoring video melts now
A kind of imaging algorithm that precision is higher.
The statistical property effectively describing hepatic tissue of ultrasonic Nakagami Parameter Map, research before the most fully demonstrates
Use sliding window on Nakagami image is used to monitor the feasibility of the method for radio-frequency (RF) ablation.Meanwhile, based on
The Nakagami imaging of Nakagami statistical distribution model is also a kind of method [5] effectively supplementing conventional B model.Had before
Research uses Nakagami imaging to combine polynomial approximation method and is applied successfully to monitor radio-frequency (RF) ablation.But the method also exists
The most limited place [6].First, although multinomial application Nakagami image can effectively matching radio-frequency (RF) ablation region,
But inevitably affect the detection of radio frequency field.Therefore, we should to other approximating methods such as Gaussian approximation and
A young waiter in a wineshop or an inn takes advantage of the feasibility of approximation to be estimated.Secondly, this research application is tradition Nakagami imaging algorithm, because use
Window is relatively big, and traditional Nakagami image does not provide high image resolution and smooths, and causes monitoring in operation poor image quality.
