About Doppler effect, referring to Fig. 1, the sensor in Fig. 1 includes transmitting transducer and reception energy converter.In Fig. 1, Scatterer P is moved with speed v, namely with axial velocity va=vcos θ is moved to static sensor opposite direction.Assuming that transmitting The frequency for the rf wave that energy converter issues is fC, the frequency (echo frequency) that the scatterer P moved reflects this pulse is fR.Doppler frequency f is exactly the difference of the two frequencies, is expressed as follows:
Wherein, c indicates the velocity of sound.
When the movement velocity of scatterer P is far smaller than the velocity of sound, formula (1) can be converted are as follows:
In formula (2), due to radio frequency wave frequency rate fCIt is known quantity with velocity of sound c, therefore acquire Doppler frequency f to ask The axial velocity that solution scatterer P is moved relative to sensor opposite direction.
The cross-correlation that frequency f, definition signal x (t) and signal x (t+ τ) how is estimated from two frame echo-signals is described below Function R (τ) is expressed as follows:
Wherein, x*(t+ τ) is the conjugated signal of x (t+ τ);Δ t indicates integrating range;D τ indicates the differential symbol of time variable Number.
By the phase change of time domain in calculation formula (3) can approximation obtain frequency f variation:
Wherein, arg { R (τ) } indicates the phase difference of signal x (t) and x (t+ τ);
To bring formula (4) into formula (2), can acquire:
Referring again to during elastogram, probe (ultrasonic probe or the probe that can issue other rf waves) squeezes life Object tissue, this process may be considered the relative motion between probe and biological tissue, i.e., biological tissue is relative to probe It is axially moved.By taking ultrasonic probe as an example, when ultrasonic probe squeezes biological tissue, ultrasonic probe is with TPRIt is issued for the period super Sound rf wave receives the ultrasonic echo of tested biological tissue, to collect multiple frames of ultrasonic RF (radio frequency) in this process Signal.The each frame ultrasonic radio frequency signal collected may include multi-strip scanning line, which can be perpendicular to tested life The detection line on the surface of object tissue, every scan line may include multiple sampled points.Two frame ultrasonic radio frequency signals of arbitrary neighborhood The moment is acquired, biological tissue's stress difference is tested, generates different deformation, the ultrasonic radio frequency signal collected can reflect the shape Become.To be handled according to the analysis of ultrasonic radio frequency wave and echo to transmitting, the biography of rf wave in biological tissues can be obtained Characteristic is broadcast, and then analyzes the soft or hard degree of biological tissue.The radio frequency wave frequency rate for the echo frequency and transmitting that receive of popping one's head in is not With, the process is similar with Doppler effect principle, therefore, Doppler effect principle can be used, and calculates in conjunction with cross correlation algorithm Biological tissue is extruded the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION of direction (axial direction relative to probe).
When probe vertical squeezes biological tissue, the negative side of the scatterer P towards the sensor that are equivalent in Fig. 1 transports in the axial direction Dynamic, θ=1 cos, the axial velocity acquired using formula (5) are the movement speed with biological tissue at this time.
Embodiment 1
As shown in Fig. 2, the elastograph imaging method of the present embodiment the following steps are included:
During step 101, acquisition squeeze biological tissue, corresponding to echo-signal of the biological tissue based on radio-wave reflection Multiframe I/Q data.
Specifically, squeezing biological tissue using ultrasonic probe, ultrasonic probe is with T in the present embodimentPRFor period sending Ultrasonic wave receives the ultrasonic echo of tested biological tissue in this process, to collect multiple frames of ultrasonic RF (radio frequency) letter Number.RF signal is demodulated to obtain complex matrix, the real and imaginary parts of complex matrix respectively correspond I datum and Q data, respectively Low-pass filtering is carried out to I datum and Q data, I/Q data can be obtained.In the present embodiment, for ease of calculation, according to I/Q data The sequencing of acquisition carries out sequence number to it.
During elastogram, the I/Q data that samples is discrete signal, can be indicated with matrix, by formula (3), (4) approximate description in discrete domain are as follows:
To,
Wherein, Num indicates the total quantity of I/Q data, and the similarity of adjacent two frames I/Q data is only calculated in the present embodiment, because This Num=2;The offset row of h expression I/Q data matrix;0≤u≤H-h-1;0≤v≤W-1;0≤w≤Num-num-1;Num table Show that the sequence of two frame I/Q datas is poor, num is the 0 same frame I/Q data of expression, and num is the adjacent two frames I/Q data of 1 expression.γ[h, Num] expression sequence difference be num, deviate behavior h two frame I/Q datas similarity, arg { γ [h, num] } be its phase difference.
In the present embodiment, the sin cos functions transformation based on hardware end processing is can be used in demodulation, or is handled based on software end Hilbert (Hilbert) transformation.It should be noted that the demodulation mode fast speed based on sin cos functions transformation, and Demodulation mode precision based on Hilbert transformation is higher, and user can voluntarily select according to actual needs.Since the present embodiment uses Elastogram is realized in conjunction with Doppler effect and cross correlation algorithm, and accuracy is higher, therefore realizes and demodulate even with hardware end, most The precision being imaged afterwards there will not be too much influence, can also greatly improve the arithmetic speed of algorithm in this way.
Step 102, the first cross-correlation coefficient for calculating adjacent two frames I/Q data.
Below by taking adjacent the first I/Q data and the second I/Q data as an example, illustrate the calculating process of the first cross-correlation coefficient, As shown in figure 3, step 102 specifically includes:
Step 102-1, the first IQ matrix and the 2nd IQ matrix are generated according to the first I/Q data and the second I/Q data respectively.
Step 102-1 namely the first I/Q data and the second I/Q data are indicated with matrix, obtain the first IQ matrix and the 2nd IQ Matrix.Wherein, the first IQ matrix and the 2nd IQ matrix are plural two-dimensional matrixes.
Step 102-2, the conjugate matrices of the first IQ matrix and the 2nd IQ matrix are carried out respectively based on convolution algorithm window Convolution algorithm.
In the present embodiment, use a behavior I, be classified as J, two-dimensional matrix that value is 1 is as convolution algorithm window.Step 102-2 is for noise reduction process.
It should be noted that due to the present embodiment primarily to obtaining biological tissue is extruded direction (relative to probe Axial direction) movement speed, on the image namely longitudinal speed, therefore the relatively J that I can be arranged is more greatly for characterization, by examination It tests and learns, when I is 20 times or more of J, conveniently.If also needing to obtain biological tissue relative to the shifting in probe horizontal direction Dynamic speed, since the movement speed in the movement speed and axial direction in horizontal direction is mutually indepedent, convolution algorithm can It is assigned on two threads and independently carries out, and then promote calculating speed.Certainly, carrying out convolution algorithm to different IQ matrixes can also lead to The mode for crossing multi-threading parallel process can significantly improve calculation process speed while guaranteeing elastogram accuracy.
For the two-dimensional complex number IQ matrix shown in Fig. 4 a, Fig. 4 b, the detailed process of convolution algorithm is said It is bright.Assuming that Fig. 4 a, Fig. 4 b show 12 × 8 complex matrixs, a stain in figure represents an element in matrix.It is black Frame A indicates the convolution algorithm window having a size of I × J.Convolution algorithm is carried out to the first IQ matrix, also covers convolution algorithm window On the first IQ matrix, and using n element as step-length, with arrow direction shown in scheming respectively from laterally, longitudinal two dimensions Mobile convolution algorithm window, to traverse entire first IQ matrix.Convolution algorithm window often slides into some position, the IQ just covered Submatrix and the operation window matrix multiple.Fig. 4 a is initial position of the convolution algorithm window in the first IQ matrix, it is covered at this time The IQ submatrix of lid and the operation window matrix multiple.Fig. 4 b is that convolution algorithm windowsill vertically moves the position after 1 element step-length, The IQ submatrix and the operation window matrix multiple that it is covered at this time.And so on, until traversing entire first IQ matrix, realize To the convolution algorithm of the first IQ matrix.Data matrix advantage of this is that the influence that can reduce noise, after process of convolution Size can become smaller.Wherein, n can self-setting according to actual needs, such as be set as 1 or 2 etc..To the conjugate matrices of the second matrix The process for carrying out convolution algorithm is similar with the first matrix, and details are not described herein again.
Step 102-3, to the corresponding element of the conjugate matrices of the first IQ matrix and the 2nd IQ matrix by convolution algorithm Product calculation is done, the first cross-correlation coefficient is obtained.
In step 102-3, so-called corresponding element does the element that product calculation also arranges the u row v of the first IQ matrix The element multiplication arranged with the u row v of the conjugate matrices of the 2nd IQ matrix, the result of product calculation are the first I/Q data and the As a result the cross-correlation coefficient of two I/Q datas and a complex matrix are expressed as γ [0,1], i.e., (sequence is poor for adjacent two IQ matrix Num is the 1) related coefficient of error-free bit arithmetic (offset row h is 0).
Step 103, the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data that biological tissue is calculated based on the first cross-correlation coefficient.
In the present embodiment, step 103 is specifically included:
Step 103-1, the first phase difference per adjacent two frames I/Q data is calculated according to the first cross-correlation coefficient.
After related coefficient is calculated, using the equations phase difference in software tool, such as matlab (one is used Kind of business mathematics software) the function angle for seeking plural number phase, acquire the phase difference of adjacent two frames I/Q data.
It should be noted that calculating phase-frequency characteristic, need to use arctan function, wherein provide, coordinate first and second as Angle in limit is 0~π, and the angle of third and fourth quadrant is 0~-π.If the knot that an angle changes to 2 π, but actually obtain from 0 Fruit is 0~π, then by-π~0, phase can be jumped, and hopping amplitude is 2 π, this is just the winding of phase, be will affect final The quality of imaging.In order to avoid the winding of phase, in step 103, solution winding processing is carried out to the phase difference being calculated, is made Phase does not jump at π, to reflect true phase change, improves image quality.
Step 103-2, multiframe speed data is calculated according to the frequency of first phase difference and rf wave, according to multiframe speed Degree is according to the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data for obtaining biological tissue.
After the phase difference for acquiring adjacent two frames I/Q data, formula (8) are carried it into, the frame speed of biological tissue can be acquired Degree.Wherein, the frequency f for the rf wave that probe emits in formula (8)CNamely biological tissue receives the frequency of rf wave.Per adjacent Two frame data require to calculate by formula (8), obtain multiframe speed data, obtain VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION number according to multiframe speed data According to the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data are represented by a two-dimensional matrix.
Step 104, the Strain Distribution data that biological tissue is generated according to VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data.
Specifically, differentiating in step 104 to VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data, the Strain Distribution number of tissue can be obtained According to.
The detailed process differentiated is described further below:
If the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data that step 103 obtains are indicated with one 1000 × 256 two-dimensional matrix.One is done now Length is Δ m (it is assumed that Δ m is equal to 90) one-dimension array, wherein first element of one-dimension array is equal to the 1, the 90th position Element is equal to -1, and other elements are 0, using the one-dimension array as operation window, traverses each of 1000 × 256 two-dimensional matrix Convolution algorithm is arranged and carries out, this process is differential calculation, and the result differentiated is Strain Distribution data.This calculating Method, which is simple and efficient, is not take up the excessive time.
Step 105 carries out imaging to Strain Distribution data, generates diagram of strains.
Specifically, step 105 includes:
Step 105-1, Strain Distribution data are converted into 8 gray level images to get preliminary Strain Distribution image is arrived.
Step 105-2, B mould image is obtained according to I/Q data.
B mould image can be obtained using existing method, details are not described herein again for specific implementation process.
In the implementation case, Strain Distribution image and B mould image are calculated due to using different filtering during processing Method necessarily causes the picture size finally exported variant, therefore before merging Strain Distribution image and B mould image, needs Adjust picture size.
Step 105-3, according to the dimension difference between B mould image and diagram of strains, B mould image or Strain Distribution are scaled Figure, so that the size of B mould image is identical as the size of diagram of strains.
Wherein, zoomed image algorithm can be, but not limited to using bilinear interpolation or spline interpolation etc..Size it is identical namely Guarantee that the position of biological tissue's organ and profile are completely coincident in image.
Preferably, size adjusting is carried out to diagram of strains in the present embodiment.By convolution algorithm, the ruler of diagram of strains It is very little to become smaller, it needs to amplify diagram of strains processing: the size finally shown according to B mould image, image length and width Size finds proportionate relationship, by Strain Distribution image proportionally relationship zoom into B mould picture size same size, make it It can merge with B mould image.
Step 105-4, Pseudo Col ored Image is carried out to the diagram of strains after size adjusting, and is merged with B mould image.
Specifically, step 105-4 namely to diagram of strains adjusted carry out Pseudo Col ored Image, be taped against B mould figure It is shown simultaneously as upper, by adjusting transparency, can be obtained and check diagram of strains.
In the present embodiment, in conjunction with Doppler effect and cross correlation algorithm, the speed during biological tissue is extruded is calculated Distribution generates the diagram of strains of biological tissue, realizes elastogram, and precision is high, speed is fast, can improve healthcare givers to disease Diagnostic reliability and efficiency.
In the present embodiment, during elastogram, the VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data of generation and adjacent two frames I/Q data it is mutual Relationship number can be used as the parameter of diagram of strains trust evaluation.The mean approximation pressure profile of VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data, such as The mean value fluctuation of the every frame speed distributed data of fruit is in (difference is smaller) under steady state, so that it may think the pressure that the process applies Power is more steady, if mean value fluctuating change is more violent, so that it may think the pressure anomaly that the process applies, doctor can root Force situation at that time is judged according to the fluctuation transformation of curve.Cross-correlation coefficient can be used to evaluate data acquisition quality, cross correlation Number is high to illustrate that collected adjacent frame data do not have loss of data, otherwise explanation has loss of data, this numerical value can also be used as Judge the parameter of current Strain Distribution image reliability.VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION data and cross-correlation coefficient are all in algorithm implementation procedure Intermediate product, there is no additional time loss.

On the basis of embodiment 1, in the present embodiment, the frequency f based on real-time updateC, calculating speed distribution.
Relationship between the average frequency and phase of ultrasonic wave is as follows:
With the Δ θ in arg { γ [1,0] } replacement formula (10)i, updated frequency f can be obtainedC':
The speed data formula of adjacent two frames I/Q data is expressed as follows:
Wherein, 1/TsWhen indicating the data sampling frequency of probe, namely obtaining RF signal data, sampling radiofrequency signal scanning The frequency of line;γ [0,1] indicates the cross-correlation coefficient of adjacent the first I/Q data and the second I/Q data of offset behavior 0, arg { γ [0,1] } is its phase difference;γ [1,0] indicates that the first I/Q data offset row h is the related coefficient and the 2nd IQ number of 1 matrix The sum of the related coefficient of matrix for being 1 according to offset row h, arg { γ [1,0] } are its phase difference.
It can be seen that from formula (12), need to calculate phase difference arg { γ [1,0] } in the present embodiment.Or with adjacent the For one I/Q data and the second I/Q data, illustrate the calculating process of [1,0] γ, as shown in figure 5, method further include:

It can be seen that the convolution algorithm for the first IQ matrix and its conjugate matrices, the first convolution algorithm window from two figures There is dislocation on initial position between the second convolution algorithm window, namely differs 1 element (h=1) on matrix line direction, this It is the result for obtaining constant with its conjugate complex number matrix multiple in order to avoid complex matrix.It is multiplied, is multiplied by such dislocation Matrix afterwards is still complex matrix.It should be noted that the dislocation of the first convolution algorithm window and the second convolution algorithm window Distance can be one element distance of difference, can also differ multiple elements, but distance will lead to greatly very much algorithm failure, in turn Final Strain Distribution picture quality is influenced, design parameter setting needs depending on specific input data.
Step 102-2 ', it is done to by the first IQ matrix of convolution algorithm and the conjugate matrices corresponding element of the first IQ matrix Product calculation obtains the second cross-correlation coefficient;To the conjugate matrices of the 2nd IQ matrix and the 2nd IQ matrix by convolution algorithm Corresponding element does product calculation, obtains third related coefficient.
Step 102-3 ', sum operation, the knot of sum operation are carried out to the second cross-correlation coefficient and third cross-correlation coefficient Fruit is [1,0] γ, and poor according to γ [1,0] calculating second phase.
By step 102-3 ' be calculated as a result, bring into formula (11), realize to frequency fCReal-time update.
In step 103-2, then according to first phase difference and updated frequency fCCalculating speed data, referring to formula (12)。
It should be noted that similar with first phase difference, it is also desirable to carry out solution winding processing to second phase difference.
