Specific embodiment
With reference to concrete accompanying drawing, the invention will be further described.
As shown in figure 1, in embodiments of the present invention, ultrasonic main frame carries out sending out for ultrasonic signal by control probe 100 Reception is penetrated, ultrasonic echography echo-signal A that probe 100 is received is formed after Beam synthesis module 200 carries out Beam synthesis At the signals such as holding wire data A1, signal processing module 300 is filtered to holding wire data A1, envelope detected, log-compressed Obtain ultrasonoscopy B after reason, ultrasonoscopy B optimized after the process of Automatic Optimal module 400 after ultrasonoscopy B1, it is excellent Ultrasonoscopy B1 after change is processed by scan conversion module 500 and image processing module 600, is finally delivered to display 700 On carry out image and show.
As shown in figure 3, the present invention increased Automatic Optimal module, Automatic Optimal module mould in conventional ultrasound imaging system Block is monitored to real-time ultrasonic image, is automatically performed the adjustment of parameter and carries out the Automatic Optimal of image, so as to obtain high-quality Diagnostic image.Automatic Optimal module 400 is included:Image monitor 401, parameter calculating module 402, gain compensator 403, Noise suppressor 404 etc..First ultrasonic image-forming system is input to the ultrasonoscopy B after signal processing module 300 is processed Automatic Optimal module 400, the image monitor 401 in Automatic Optimal module 400 in real time analysis present frame ultrasonoscopy B with it is previous The difference of frame ultrasonoscopy B ', if difference exceedes the threshold values of setting, illustrates that imaging object has occurred that change, this change The possibly change of check point, it is also possible to be that patient changes, in such a case it is not necessary to doctor manually adjusts imaging Parameter starts automatic majorization function, and ultrasonic image-forming system automatic running parameter calculating module 402 carries out the meter of imaging parameters Calculate.Parameter calculating module 402 calculates the parameter for follow-up imaging, and such as gain compensation image parameter and noise suppressed image is joined Number, parameter calculating module 402 is applied to these parameters on untreated ultrasonoscopy B, and final Automatic Optimal module 400 is exported Through the ultrasonoscopy B1 of Automatic Optimal.
After ultrasonic image-forming system automatically turns on Automatic Optimal 400 function of module, image monitor 401 enters to ultrasonoscopy Row analysis, so that it is determined that Optimal Parameters.Image monitor 401 is by status register 4011, Feature Calculator 4012, epidemic situation comparison Device 4013 and Optimal Parameters calculate the composition such as trigger 4014, and status register 4011 preserves the image formation state of previous frame image, This image formation state can be image feature value, such as mean flow rate, signal to noise ratio, uniform formation's accounting, or ultrasound figure As data;Feature Calculator 4012 calculates the features of ultrasound pattern value of input, such as mean flow rate, signal to noise ratio, uniform formation's accounting Deng;Status comparator 4013 obtain front end link input ultrasonoscopy characteristic value and with status register 4011 in it is current Value is compared, if beyond the threshold value of setting, then it is assumed that image formation state changes, and by Optimal Parameters trigger is calculated 4014 trigger parameters are calculated.
TSignal=Compare (CurStatus, CurImageFV)>Threshold1:0, wherein, TSignal is tactile Signal, CurStatus is the image formation state of current frame image, CurImageFV is the characteristic vector of input picture.Compare Can be that characteristic similarity is calculated as the Euler's distance, or feature difference between feature is absolute for comparison algorithm function Value sum, such simple computing.If the comparative result of status comparator 4013 is within given threshold, not trigger parameter meter Calculate module 402, otherwise trigger parameter computing module 402.
After parameter calculating module 402 is triggered, parameter calculating module 402 carries out the calculating of new Optimal Parameters, will be current Ultrasonoscopy be input in pixels statisticses device 4021 and counted, statistic can be the brightness of the pixel of time-domain, periphery The spectrum information of the information such as gradient, or frequency domain;Pixel Information is input in pixel classifier 4022 and is classified, Pixel is divided into the three types such as uniform formation's pixel, structure-pixel, noise pixel, the method for classification can be with the statistics of setting Measure threshold value to classify, it is also possible to carry out according to the certain ratio value of statistic histogram.Embodiments of the invention are counting Nogata Classifying, such as belly liver is imaged, most of pixel is hepatic tissue pixel to the ratio of figure, then set histogram peak and give In the range of pixel be tissue pixels, the pixel outside region is noise pixel or structure-pixel.As shown in Fig. 2 brightness Data-Statistics Histogram peak is Summit, and the pixel for being set lower than LowThr is noise, and the pixel higher than UpThr is structure-pixel, Between LowThr and UpThr for uniform formation's pixel, wherein uniform formation accounts for the major part of the ratio of all pixels, this ratio Example can offline be determined by the analysis to great amount of images data.Pixel classifier 4022 can arrange as follows:
Wherein, I (i, j) be current frame image pixel, i, j For pixel coordinate point, NoiseSet, I (i, j) are noise, and TissueSet, I (i, j) are uniform formation's pixel, StructureSet, I (i, j) are structure-pixel.
Certainly, the example of an above-mentioned only pixel classifier, when the present invention is realized, can include multiple graders Compressive classification.
After the other classification of image pixel-class is carried out, we carry out region analysis with the result of classification, image point Area's method can also have many kinds, and such as traditional partition method multirow in scan line depth is divided into a region, or is sweeping Retouch multi-strip scanning on direction to be first divided into a region, or divide an image into multiple blocks, as shown in Figure 6.
Image dissector of the present invention 4023 adopts a kind of regional analysis of Pixel-level, in a neighborhood of current pixel Inside it is analyzed, the classification situation of pixel in neighborhood is counted, if belonging to structure more than setting ratio pixel in pixel in neighborhood Pixel, then current pixel is labeled as 3, else if noise pixel occupies ratio more than setting value in pixel in neighborhood, then currently Pixel is labeled as 1, is otherwise labeled as 2;When being labeled as 2, the pixel organization brightness value is the flat of neighborhood inner tissue pixel Average, during for being labeled as 1 or 3, neighborhood tissue intensity value is the average of the pixel surrounding pixel tissue intensity.Such as Fig. 7, It can be seen that the neighborhood of neighbor is partly overlapping, therefore the result for calculating will not bring mutation and not connect as traditional partition method Continuous phenomenon.
According to the output result of image dissector 4023, i.e., with 1, the mark image and neighborhood tissue average of 2,3 signs Image is calculating gain compensation image and noise suppressed image.Its computational methods is as follows:
GainCompI (i, j)=TValue-MeanI (i, j), Wherein, GainCompI (i, j) is gain compensation image, and Tvalue is that uniform formation compensates desired value, and MeanI (i, j) is pixel Tissue intensity image;NoiseSupI (i, j) is noise suppressed image, and RI (i, j) is mark image, and SupressFactor is to set Fixed inhibiting factor, i, j are pixel point coordinates.
After Optimal Parameters are calculated, in applying it to follow-up imaging, until Optimal Parameters are recalculated.Parameter Application process is as follows:
OptI (i, j)=NoiseSupI (i, j) * [I (i, j)+GainCompI (i, j)], wherein, OptI (i, j) is excellent Image after change, I (i, j) is image before optimization.
I (i, j)+GainCompI (i, j) is realized in gain compensator 403 in above-mentioned formula, NoiseSupI (i, j) * [] is partly realized in noise suppressor 404.
As shown in figure 8, the present invention can also be placed on Automatic Optimal module 400 after scan conversion module 500 being located Reason.
