The principle is that the two-dimensional images acquired by the ultrasonic instrument are reconstructed into three-dimensional information by utilizing the spatial conversion relation between the images, so that the risk of misdiagnosis can be reduced, and the method has wide application in the aspects of auxiliary diagnosis and treatment.
Three-dimensional ultrasound reconstruction algorithms can be divided into three categories depending on the implementation: voxel-based methods, pixel-based methods, and function-based methods. Voxel-based methods include voxel nearest neighbor and distance weighted interpolation. The pixel-based method includes pixel nearest neighbor and kernel regression interpolation. The function-based method comprises interpolation calculation functions such as radial basis functions and Bessel functions, wherein the radial basis functions are smoothly connected through global interpolation after block calculation, the efficiency is low, and the Bessel functions improve the reconstruction efficiency, but all acquired images are required to be arranged according to the position sequence, namely single unidirectional scanning, so that the application scene is limited.
The following situations exist in practical application: the image is unevenly distributed in space, so that global parameters are difficult to select, the calculation efficiency of a local self-adaptive method is low, additional filling operation is needed for possible holes, and the function-based interpolation method is limited by a function model. Recently, due to the development of deep learning technology, raphael et al estimate motion information from an ultrasonic sequence by adopting CNN, a reconstruction task under a complex condition is realized by combining an inertial measurement unit, guo et al adopts 3D convolution to extract features in the ultrasonic sequence, and a focus module focuses on a speckle region which is easy to extract the motion information, so that 3D ultrasonic reconstruction is performed under the condition of no tracking device. However, compared with the error of the conventional tracking device, the spatial position of the pixels is not recovered accurately enough by adopting the deep learning technology at the present stage, and the clinical use is difficult. A new reconstruction method is needed to meet the practical application requirements.
