Description

A kind of distributed ultrasound volume data acquisition method

Technical field

The present invention relates to ultrasound inspection methods, and in particular to a kind of distributed ultrasound volume data acquisition method.

Background technology

Traditional ultrasonic scan, doctor carry out scanning by the way of hand hold transducer to patient, and scanning process relies on doctor Operation and experience, and formed ultrasound data sequence due to the missing of physical location information and the confusion of spatial sampling, nothing Method accurately carries out three-dimensional reconstruction and post-processing multi-angle obtains tangent plane picture.

Existing ultrasonic scan equipment uses single linear transducer array mode, the motion mode of linear transducer array essentially straight substantially Or " bending " font broken line back and forth, the movement locus of linear transducer array central point is essentially straight or in the same plane.

Using above-mentioned single linear transducer array mode, it is difficult to the disposable ultrasound data acquisition for completing human body unevenness position.With For scanning thyroid gland, the throat portion of people in arcuation and individual difference it is very big, existing list linear transducer array mode, linear transducer array without Method is bonded entire throat portion well, and the ultrasound data finally acquired can only be presented the thyroid image in part, and if using The mode of multi collect, then can extreme influence working efficiency, increase the operating burden of doctor, and super acquired in multi collect It is also a problem that how sound data sequence, which rebuilds,.

Invention content

Technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a kind of distributed ultrasound volume data acquisition method, use is this Distributed ultrasound volume data acquisition method can quick obtaining can three-dimensional reconstruction ultrasound volume data.The technical solution of use It is as follows：

A kind of distributed ultrasound volume data acquisition method, it is characterised in that：

Scanning equipment for the acquisition of ultrasound volume data including distributed linear transducer array and can drive distributed probe battle array Arrange the scanning motion moved along direction initialization；Distributed linear transducer array is made of more than two linear transducer arrays；

Acquire ultrasound volume data the step of include：

（1）Scanning equipment is placed, the surface that each linear transducer array is tested position with human body is made to contact；

（2）Under control system control, the distributed linear transducer array of scanning motion driving is along direction initialization from initiating terminal to end Not-go-end moves, and distributed linear transducer array is tested position to human body in moving process and is scanned；

（3）During distributed linear transducer array moves, the ultrasound scan data of acquisition is transferred to control by each linear transducer array System, while control system obtains space position parameter corresponding with ultrasound scan data in real time.

Above-mentioned distribution linear transducer array is along after direction initialization is moved from initiating terminal to clearing end, you can completion is once swept It retouches, obtains the ultrasound volume data that human body is tested position.Distributed linear transducer array is tested the shape and size phase at position with human body It coincide.When distributed linear transducer array is moved along direction initialization from initiating terminal to clearing end, the scanning area of distributed linear transducer array It can be tested position to human body and form comprehensive covering, avoid causing missing inspection.The specific moving direction of distributed linear transducer array can basis Human body is tested the shape at position and workplace determines, for example, distribution linear transducer array is under when to thyroid gland progress scanning Supreme scanning scans from top to bottom, can also scan or be scanned from right-to-left from left to right.

In preferred embodiment, in above-mentioned distribution linear transducer array, there are overlapping portions for the scanning area of two neighboring linear transducer array Point.Blind area can be acquired to avoid caused by the combination gap between linear transducer array and linear transducer array in this way.It, can in concrete scheme " trapezoidal imaging " is carried out so that some linear transducer array is separately provided（That is the section of scanning area is trapezoidal）, or all spies are set simultaneously Head array all carries out " trapezoidal imaging ", and making the scanning area of two neighboring linear transducer array, there are laps.

It is each in distributed linear transducer array in order to make linear transducer array be preferably bonded the tested position of human body and carry out scanning Linear transducer array should be tested the outer table skeleton setting at position according to human body.Such as：（1）Distributed linear transducer array is by two linear probes Array forms（Two linear linear transducer array length may be the same or different）, two linear transducer arrays are in splayed setting；（2）It is distributed Linear transducer array is made of three linear linear transducer arrays（Three linear linear transducer array length can be identical or different）；（3）Distribution Formula linear transducer array is made of two spill linear transducer arrays, and two linear transducer arrays are substantially in that splayed is arranged；（4）Distribution probe battle array Row are made of two convex linear transducer arrays, and two linear transducer arrays are substantially in that splayed is arranged；（5）Distributed linear transducer array is by difference Multiple linear transducer arrays of shape form, such as are made of a linear linear transducer array and a spill linear transducer array.Distribution is visited Each linear transducer array can be at, with a plane, can also be in Different Plane in head array.

After multiple linear transducer arrays are combined into the distributed linear transducer array of definite shape, can by being manually entered, encoder, biography The initial value of space position parameter is inputed to control system by the modes such as sensor.It, can in distributed linear transducer array moving process The instantaneous value of space position parameter is inputed into control system by encoder, sensor etc..
