Traditional hardware Beam synthesis is limited by circuit design, such as FPGA, can not use relatively complicated letter Number Processing Algorithm carries out echo-signal on source effective noise and suppresses and accurate transmitting collectiong focusing and signal correction. Also, conventional hardware Beam synthesis needs predefined transmitting and receives delay curve, can not realize transmitting point-by-point focusing, more without Method realizes the adaptive adjustment of Beam synthesis.Minute surface occurs by different medium or in certain angle interface for ultrasonic wave The caused image blur of reflection and tissue are difficult to identification problem, can only often be improved by space combination and post processing of image, Or require doctor to observe from different perspectives and allow incidence angle to reduce as far as possible.
Existing related software beam synthesizing technology mainly using the retroactive method repeatedly launched, is obtained by preserving repeatedly transmitting Channel data, reuse software and synthesized (use certain weighting), to mirror-reflection the problem of is often connect using control Receive apodization mode, however, its can not still solve tissue different orientation generation strong mirror-reflection caused by image blur and Tissue is difficult to identification problem, and doctor needs to be observed due to obscuring not caused by mirror-reflection with different cut-in angles in imaging Clear region, causes imaging operation complicated, image quality and imaging efficiency are relatively low.

Embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, the present invention will be described in further detail, so that the purpose of the present invention, technology Scheme and advantage are more clearly understood.It should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein is only to explain the present invention, and do not have to It is of the invention in limiting.
Beam synthesizing method according to embodiments of the present invention and system, its direction in space angle by calculating each position Information, carries out adaptive beam synthesis to mirror-reflection using channel data, reaches and eliminate the influence that mirror-reflection produces so that Ultrasonic imaging can not no longer be observed by tissue specular reflections effect, and doctor need not be observed with different cut-in angles due to mirror Face is smudgy caused by reflecting, and greatly simplifies the imaging operation of doctor.
Fig. 2 shows the self-adapting ultrasonic beam synthetic method according to an embodiment of the invention based on ultrasonic wave directionality Flow chart.Part or all of step during its following steps for including is rapid can perform individually or parallel, and step is compiled Number it is only used for identifying each step, is not limited to the execution order and/or number of each step.
Step 101:Repeated ultrasonic ripple transmitting is carried out, first passage data are obtained according to corresponding multiple echo-signals
For example, can be configured according to different application, certain amount probe array element is set to carry out in ultrasonic image-forming system more The ultrasonic wave of secondary different locus and angle is launched.Wherein, it is different from focusing of the conventional ultrasound imaging system in transmitting Point generally requires selection user's area-of-interest, and the focus point launched described in the present embodiment can arbitrarily be set, because it is used Retroactive method launches point-by-point focusing, so the locus of focus point can arbitrarily be chosen on the target tissue.However, it is preferred to also may be used To be user's area-of-interest.Also, it can apply amplitude to each array element according to the first apodizing function when launching ultrasonic wave to swash Encourage signal.
For example, L*M sampled data can be obtained for M passage, each L sampled point of passage, an echo-signal.It is logical Track data includes the sampled data of the echo-signal that each channel reception arrives after launching every time, such as n times are launched, M passage, often A L sampled point of channel reception, a frame scan just obtain N*M*L sampled data.Wherein, port number M not more than pops one's head in The channel number of array element, can use according to application selection 1 to the value between the channel number popped one's head in, preferably full tunnel.Sampling Point quantity L is by systematic sampling rate Fs, velocity of sound C and scan depths d carry out definite, i.e. L=2dFs/ C, different system are also possible to deposit In necessarily scanning switching delay, such as systematic sampling rate is 60MHZ, scan depths 10cm, velocity of sound 1540m/s, without considering system Delay, L is about 7790 points.
Step 102:First time Beam synthesis is carried out to the first passage data of acquisition
For the first time Beam synthesis of each two field picture, present frame default setting can be based on (for example, being visited according to current The attribute of head array element and the tissue site applied, identified apodization and time delay) use traditional software Beam synthesis, i.e., not Based on prior information, the directly sampled data of the echo-signal corresponding to the transmitting to multiple and different angles carries out Beam synthesis.
In other examples, carry out first time Beam synthesis when can also be based on priori minute surface direction angle information and Corresponding time delay carries out channel data Beam synthesis, will be specifically described hereinafter by other embodiment.Moreover, each frame First time Beam synthesis mode (prior information based on present frame default setting or former frame) is that engineering is optional, and can be with base The Beam synthesis mode of different application scene is considered in institutional framework motion conditions, such as is transported for heart, liver, blood vessel etc. The ultrasonic imaging of dynamic larger tissue, then can be based on present frame default setting, and for mammary gland, kidney, prostate, first shape Gland etc. moves less tissue, then can be based on the prior information of previous frame image, i.e. second in generation previous frame image Used apodization and time delay during secondary Beam synthesis.
To the signal of step 102 first time Beam synthesis, the demodulation of step 103 signal, the inspection of step 104 envelope are performed successively Survey, step 105 scan transformation, step 106 post processing of image, generate the first image.
Step 107:When the first image needs to refine (for example, when meeting default refined processing condition), it is carried out Edge extraction, obtains the orientation of image border
Wherein, default refined processing condition includes:One, current operation mode can be set as essence in system by user Change pattern, is equivalent to system and each frame is required for refining in this case;Two, system is detected currently into image quality automatically Amount, carries out image quality estimation, such as calculates the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of orthogonal signalling, the signal-to-noise ratio of image and edge conservation degree etc., When image quality is too low, automatically into.
Specifically, Multi scale graphical analysis can be utilized, by structure matrix in default scale (for example, 3 × 3 Structure matrix to 15 × 15) on identify the orientation of image border.Wherein, Multi scale analysis can use image gold word Tower converts, such as laplacian pyramid or wavelet pyramid etc., preferably wavelet pyramid conversion.
Step 108:Orientation based on image border carries out mirror-reflection identification, obtains the locus of mirror-reflection pixel With direction angle information
The different characteristic that mirror-reflection and diffusing reflection based on pixel are shown, can identify the side of mirror-reflection pixel To angle, (the pop one's head in ultrasonic wave of transmitting and the incidence angle of tissue interface, from law of specular reflection, angle of reflection is equal to incidence Angle).Wherein, this step is not to carry out (being difficult the side of effectively extraction interface on channel data directly against channel data analysis To angle), but by carrying out information extraction to the image obtained after first time Beam synthesis, obtain and mirror-reflection pixel occurs In the deflection and spatial positional information of mirror-reflection interface.
Step 109:According to the locus of mirror-reflection pixel and direction angle information, first passage data are carried out adaptive Apodization and time-delay calculation are answered, obtains second channel data
Wherein, apodization includes carrying out apodization to first passage data according to the second apodizing function.Foregoing first apodizing function Identical apodizing function or different apodizing function can be used with the second apodizing function, such as Hamming functions, One of apodizing functions such as Hanning functions, Blackman functions or more persons.
The calculating of apodization center can be completed based on the deflection that previous step obtains using reflection law.Such as Fig. 3 Shown, apodization center is the position intersected with tissue interface normal direction.Fig. 3 show the example of linear array probe, In other embodiment, the probe of any shape such as convex battle array, phased array, cavity, the four-dimension, rectum can in kind carry out apodization Center calculation.
The computational methods of time delay can use the time-delay calculation of retroactive method transmitting point-by-point focusing, and according to each mirror-reflection picture The corresponding locus of element calculates corresponding time delay respectively.
Step 102:Second of Beam synthesis is carried out based on second channel data
Specifically, for each pixel for being identified generation mirror-reflection, multiple skies are selected in second channel data Between position is adjacent from the locus of the pixel but deflection is different corresponding multiple channel datas of pixel and corresponding time delay Retroactive method transmitting point-by-point focusing is carried out, obtains second of Beam synthesis signal.
Wherein, pixel adjacent from the locus of the pixel but different deflection, refers to reflected beam and probe array element The intersecting pixel in face (for example, array element plane or curved surface).Can be by calculating whether reflected beam intersects with probe array element face To participate in synthesis when selecting to participate in the channel data of second of Beam synthesis, such as intersecting, it is not involved in synthesizing when non-intersect.
The quantity of selected multiple channel datas can be with predetermined threshold value (being generally less than N/2, N is emitting times).Transmitting Times N corresponds to the line number of echo-signal, therefore theoretical optimal emitting times are equal to imaging width (the maximum imaging width of probe) and remove With ultrasonic beam width.One can be multiplied by the basis of theoretical optimal emitting times in practical application and reference is relevant often Number, the preferred range of emitting times is, for example, 100~512 in the application of the embodiment of the present invention.
Second of the Beam synthesis signal obtained to step 102, performs the demodulation of step 103 signal, step 104 envelope successively Detection, step 105 scan transformation, step 106 post processing of image, generate the second image.
Step 111:When the second image need not refine (for example, when being unsatisfactory for default refined processing condition), output Acquired image
For example, the image of output can be stored or shown.Due to by using steering angle repeatedly transmitting nearby Obtained channel data is synthesized, and can eliminate the image degradation problems such as the edge blurry of mirror-reflection generation.
Above-described embodiment describes how the embodiment of one two field picture of generation by multiple steps, in various applications, can Multiple image, and the apodization and time delay that generation previous frame image can be applied are generated further to repeat above steps Apply in the image generation of a later frame.Fig. 4 show it is according to another embodiment of the present invention based on ultrasonic wave directionality from Adapt to the flow chart of ultrasonic beam synthetic method.The method difference of itself and previous embodiment is, for mammary gland, kidney Dirty, prostate, thyroid gland etc. are moved in the imaging applications of less tissue, after performing step 109, used by step 109 Apodizing function and time delay are respectively stored into system storage, and are arranged to prior information.
Before execution step 102 carries out the first time Beam synthesis of next two field picture, step 110 is further included, is deposited from system Reservoir obtains apodizing function and time delay in prior information.Also, perform step 102 and first subwave is carried out to first passage data During Shu Hecheng, apodization and time delay in prior information carry out first time Beam synthesis.Also, in a preferred embodiment, Retroactive method transmitting point-by-point focusing can be used when carrying out first time Beam synthesis.
