Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging, and particularly relates to a space smoothing method and system for color Doppler blood flow imaging.
Background
Color Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI) is a basic ultrasound Imaging mode, and CDFI can display the spatial distribution of blood Flow velocity in real time, and has important clinical value in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The fullness, continuity and smoothness of the blood flow are important evaluation indexes of CDFI, and the ideal blood flow does not have obvious deficiency inside and can not overflow to the outer side of the blood vessel wall, namely, the blood flow boundary is highly overlapped with the blood vessel wall. However, in the actual imaging process, it is often found that black holes and defects occur inside blood flow, and jaggies occur at the boundary, which eventually reduces the quality of blood flow imaging.
The prior art comprises morphological expansion, corrosion, opening operation, closing operation, top-cap conversion, bottom-cap conversion and the like, but the improvement effect of the method on blood flow highly depends on the arrangement of structural elements, particularly on the types and sizes of the structural elements, which brings difficulty to actual parameter debugging, and is difficult to find a set of parameters suitable for all imaging parts. For example, thyroid blood flow is much finer than carotid blood flow and therefore smaller structural element sizes are required. Based on the analysis, it is understood that designing a more flexible processing method for solving the above problems has great clinical significance.

s31, judging whether the flag of the current pixel is 1, if so, executing a step S32; if not, starting to process the next pixel;
