Description

Infiltrate tissue testing method, apparatus and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to ultrasonic detecting technology fields, and in particular to infiltration tissue testing method, apparatus and system.
Background technique
The mechanical characteristic of biological tissue necessarily includes the health and fitness information of biological tissue, for example, normal bio tissue is softer, Its elasticity is smaller, and occurs that the biological tissue that pathology sexually revises is then harder, and elasticity is larger, or even shape occur early in pathological tissues Before state changes, hardness just has occurred and that variation, leads between normal bio tissue and pathological tissues that there are biggish elasticity Difference.On the other hand, for infiltrative growth, (infiltrative growth refers to tumour cell to one of key property of malignant tumour in clinic The growth pattern of surrounding tissue (including tissue space, lymphatic vessel or blood vessel) is grown into and destroys, malignant tumour is in that wellability is raw more Long, generally without envelope, with normal adjacent tissue without obvious boundary), ultrasound clinic Findings are that lesion edge is unobvious, not only It is whole and high echo occur dizzy etc..Its pathologic basis is that cancerous tissue is directly infiltrated to peripheral adipose tissue, and it is thin adipose tissue, cancer occur Born of the same parents and interfibrillar substance mix (as shown in Figure 1A), form neither too hard, nor too soft annular region, or because cancerous tissue infiltrates, cause Surrounding annulus connective tissue reactive hyperplasia, constitutes caused by irregular interface.Generally, wellability is as pernicious swollen One of feature of tumor can be used as clinical imageology and judge good pernicious lesion and classification (grading) of malignant tumour and by stages (staging) one of specific index: clinical imaging methods detect that the appearance of tissue infiltration's phenomenon statistically may be used To promote a possibility that lesion is pernicious lesion at this;There is not tissue infiltration's phenomenon similarly to will increase lesion at this being benign A possibility that lesion (as shown in Figure 1B, boundary finishing, rule between benign tumour and normal bio tissue, clear).It is worth It is noted that existing literature proposes that infiltration phenomenon has statistical significance as specific index, doctor can be assisted to lesion It is analyzed, promotes diagnosis confidence, but due to the factors such as the anisotropic and complicated biological tissue of human body environment of human body, infiltration Property be not lesion analysis and judgement absolute index, such as lump expansive growth compressing surrounding tissue caused by tension increase, It is also possible to that clinical medicine diagnostic imaging is caused to find " wellability " phenomenon.In ultrasonic imaging field, by organization ultrasonic elastic graph The phenomenon that elastic information that the edge ring-type characteristic area of lesion occurs as in increases extremely referred to as " sign ring firmly " (English: Stiff Rim), usual clinical interpretation is Malignant mass edge not finishing, and form is irregular, if shearing wave elastogram occurs " hard ring sign " often prompt lump is in infiltrative growth, and it is surrounding tissue caused by lump infiltrative growth that sign, which forms pathologic basis, Reactive fibre hyperblastosis, causes hardness to increase.As shown in Fig. 2, upper figure is the elastic information distributed image of tissue, show Hard sign ring phenomenon, wherein the white in circular dashed line be brighter areas (original image be it is colored, upper figure right legend item from it is upper it Under be followed successively by the red gradient color to blue, legend top half shows brighter) to be formed by ring as hard for the brighter areas Levy ring.The following figure is to organize corresponding ultrasound image shown in figure thereon in Fig. 2, and it is abnormal to can show that tissue corresponding position has Echo, but can not show the elastic information of tissue corresponding position.
The prior art determines in tissue whether have in the hard sign ring of detection often through the elastic information value of tissue visualization There is hard sign ring.Since the normal elasticity information of different tissues is different, testing staff is needed to be adjusted according to specific situation when detecting The detection range of elastic information.
Inventors have found that the factors such as set elastic information detection range and testing staff's operation level are to testing result It is affected, so that above-mentioned detection method is unreliable.For example, when setting elastic information detection range as 0-180kPa, The elastic information distributed image observed for a certain tissue X is as shown in the upper figure of Fig. 3 A, and wherein the white in circular dashed line is (original image is colour to brighter areas, and upper figure right legend item is from being followed successively by the red gradient color to blue under upper, on legend item Half part shows brighter) to be formed by ring be hard sign ring to the brighter areas, and the following figure is that tissue X shown in figure is corresponding thereon in Fig. 3 A Ultrasound image;When setting elastic information detection range as 0-65kPa, the elastic information that is observed for same tissue X Distributed image is as shown in the upper figure of Fig. 3 B, and wherein the white in circular dashed line is that (original image is colored, upper figure right figure to brighter areas Example item shows brighter from the red gradient color to blue, legend top half is followed successively by under upper) brighter areas formed Ring be hard sign ring, the following figure is the corresponding ultrasound image of tissue X shown in figure thereon in Fig. 3 B.It can be seen by Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B Out, the setting of elastic information detection range is different, so that elastic information distributed image difference is larger, this will lead to hard sign ring may It shows unobvious and is easy ignored on elastic information image.

Shearing wave elastogram is the spread speed according to shearing wave in biological tissue to obtain the elasticity of biological tissue Modulus, but shearing wave is decayed quickly in biological tissue so that in a practical situation due to the too early dyingout of shearing wave and Method is caused to fail;And shearing wave is then decayed faster in complicated hard sign ring, is detected to lesion and its tissue around It is that after shearing wave passes through the hard sign ring and pathological tissues of structural constituent complexity, attenuating is become apparent from, will lead to and detect Hard sign ring is imperfect, to be unable to judge accurately pathological tissues to the complete Infiltrating of all surrounding tissues.For example, in Fig. 3 B Image shown in upper figure is obtained using pulse excitation wave beam shown in Fig. 9 B, can be become apparent from, the hard sign ring in Fig. 3 B (far from pulse excitation wave beam) side has apparent notch.On the other hand, shearing wave is perpendicular to pulse excitation beam direction Propagate, therefore the biological tissue elasticity modulus as the propagation condition of shearing wave obtained from by shear direction of wave travel more Single influence, therefore the tissue elasticity information on single vector direction can only be obtained, and biological tissue has anisotropy, this So that infiltration tissue testing method inaccuracy.Above-mentioned steps S301 and S302, respectively apply biological tissue from least two directions Add thrust, so that the shear-wave direction in biological tissue is propagated along at least two directions, so that at least one situation Shearing wave will not be too fast in side decaying of the sign ring firmly far from pulse excitation wave beam, so that hard sign detected by this method Ring is more complete;On the other hand, the influence for also making testing result step shearing direction of wave travel more single, therefore can also Improve the accuracy of detection method.
S303: multiple observation points are chosen on the elasticity modulus distribution map motivated about each predetermined angular.
S304: the difference of two observation point corresponding position elasticity modulus is obtained on each elasticity modulus distribution map.
