Description
본 발명은 유방암검사(Mammography)방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 초음파3차원영상과 X-ray를 이용한 유방암검사방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a breast cancer screening (Mammography) method, and more particularly to a breast cancer screening method using an ultrasound three-dimensional image and X-ray.
일반적으로, 유방암검사는 유방암검사장치에서 X선영상을 통해 종양의 유무를 검사를 하고, 확실한 검사를 하기 위해 생체에서 조직을 채취하여 현미경으로 검사하는 조직검사(Biopsy)를 통해 정확한 진단을 내린다.In general, the breast cancer test is to examine the presence of the tumor through the X-ray image in the breast cancer testing device, and to make an accurate diagnosis through the biopsy (biopsy) to collect the tissue from the living body to confirm the test.
그런데, 종래의 유방암검사장치에서는 단순히 검사대상을 투과한 X선투과영상만을 보고, 검사자가 그 위치를 대충 찾아 조직을 채취하여 유방암 검사를 했다. 이에 따라, 종양의 부정확한 채취에 의해 정확한 유방암 검사가 이루어지지 않는 경우가 빈번히 발생하는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional breast cancer screening apparatus, only the X-ray transmission image that has penetrated the test object is examined, and the examiner roughly finds the position and collects the tissue to examine the breast cancer. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the accurate breast cancer test is not frequently performed due to the incorrect sampling of the tumor.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 유방암검사시 X-ray로 종양이 검출되면, 초음파3차원영상화장치를 통해 인체내부의 종양을 3차원영상으로 표시하여 정확한 조직채취에 의한 조직검사를 할 수 있도록 한 초음파3차원영상과 X-ray를 이용한 유방암검사방법을 제공함에 있다.Therefore, an object of the present invention, when a tumor is detected by X-ray during the breast cancer test, ultrasound to display the tumor inside the human body as a three-dimensional image through the ultrasound three-dimensional imaging device to perform a biopsy by accurate tissue collection To provide a breast cancer screening method using 3D image and X-ray.

위와같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 특징은 유방암검사방법에 있어서, 검사대상(유방)의 종양유무를 검출하기 위한 X선촬영단계, 종양이 검출되면 검출된 종양 부위에 초음파탐촉자를 통해 초음파신호를 발사하여 초음파에코신호를 획득하는 단계, 상기 초음파에코신호를 이용하여 초음파3차원영상으로 신호처리하는 신호처리단계 및 상기 초음파3차원영상을 표시하는 초음파3차원영상표시단계를 포함하는 유방암검사방법에 있다.Features of the present invention for achieving the above object is an X-ray imaging step for detecting the presence of a tumor (breast) in the breast cancer test method, the ultrasound signal through the ultrasonic probe to the detected tumor site when the tumor is detected Obtaining an ultrasound echo signal by firing a signal, a signal processing step of processing a signal into an ultrasound 3D image using the ultrasound echo signal, and an ultrasound 3D image display step of displaying the ultrasound 3D image Is in.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 일 실시예를 상세히 설명하겠다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1은 본 발명에 적용된 유방암검사장치를 보여주는 도면이고, 도 2는 도 1장치를 참조하여 본 발명을 설명하기 위한 블럭도이다. 도 1 및 도 2를 참조하여 본 발명의 유방암검사방법을 설명하겠다.1 is a view showing a breast cancer screening apparatus applied to the present invention, Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating the present invention with reference to Figure 1 apparatus. 1 and 2 will be described in the breast cancer screening method of the present invention.
본 발명의 유방암검사장치는 본체(10)와, 본체(10)에 부착된 X선촬영부(20)로 이루어진다. X선촬영부(20)는 X선을 발생하는 X선발생기(26)와, 발생된 X선을 검출하는 X선검출기(22)를 구비한다. 이 X선발생기(26)와, X선검출기(22) 사이에는 검사대상(유방)(A)을 고정시키는 검사대상고정판(24)이 위치한다. 그리고, X선검출기(22)에서 촬영된 X선투과영상은 X선영상표시부(28)에 디스플레이된다. 그리고, 검사대상(유방)(A)의 내부에 위치한 종양의 정확한 위치를 찾기 위한 초음파3차원영상화장치(50)가 연결된다. 초음파3차원영상화장치(50)는 초음파탐촉자(52)와 초음파3차원영상표시부(54)를 구비한다.The breast cancer screening apparatus of the present invention includes a main body 10 and an X-ray imaging unit 20 attached to the main body 10. The X-ray imaging unit 20 includes an X-ray generator 26 for generating X-rays and an X-ray detector 22 for detecting the generated X-rays. Between this X-ray generator 26 and the X-ray detector 22, the inspection object fixing plate 24 which fixes the inspection object (breast) A is located. The X-ray transmission image photographed by the X-ray detector 22 is displayed on the X-ray image display unit 28. Then, the ultrasound three-dimensional imaging device 50 is connected to find the exact location of the tumor located inside the examination object (breast) A. The ultrasonic three-dimensional imaging apparatus 50 includes an ultrasonic probe 52 and an ultrasonic three-dimensional image display unit 54.
먼저, X선검출기(26)와 검사대상고정판(24) 사이에 검사대상(유방)이 위치하면, X선발생기(22)는 검사대상(유방)(A)으로 X선을 발생한다. X선검출기(26)는 검사대상(유방)(A)을 투과하여 촬영된 X선단층영상을 X선영상표시부(28)로 출력한다. 검사자는 X선영상표시부(28)에 디스플레이되는 X선단층영상을 보고, 종양유무를 판단한다. 종양이 있다고 판단되어 조직검사(Biopsy)(40)를 하기 위해 주사바늘을 삽입해야하는 경우, 먼저 초음파탐촉자(52)를 검사대상(유방)(A)에 갖다댄다. 초음파탐촉자(52)는 그 종양부위로 초음파신호를 발사하고, 종양부위의 대상체에서 되돌아오는 초음파에코신호를 수신한다. 초음파3차원영상표시부(54)는 초음파에코신호를 이용하여 3차원영상을 구성하고, 그 종양부위를 3차원영상으로 디스플레이한다. 여기서, 초음파3차원영상구성방법은 공지된 기술이므로 자세한 설명은 생략하겠다. 검사자는 초음파3차원영상표시부(54)에서 3차원영상으로 표시된 종양의 위치를 보고 인체 내부에서 정확히 찾아 조직을 채취한다.First, when an inspection object (breast) is positioned between the X-ray detector 26 and the inspection object fixing plate 24, the X-ray generator 22 generates X-rays to the inspection object (breast) A. The X-ray detector 26 outputs the X-ray tomography image photographed by passing through the inspection object (breast) A to the X-ray image display unit 28. The examiner looks at the X-ray tomography image displayed on the X-ray image display unit 28 to determine the presence of a tumor. If it is determined that the tumor is biopsy (Biopsy) (40) to insert the needle, the ultrasound probe 52 is first placed on the test object (breast) (A). The ultrasonic probe 52 emits an ultrasonic signal to the tumor site and receives an ultrasound echo signal returned from the object on the tumor site. The ultrasound three-dimensional image display unit 54 configures a three-dimensional image by using an ultrasonic echo signal, and displays the tumor portion as a three-dimensional image. Here, since the ultrasonic three-dimensional image construction method is a known technique, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The examiner looks at the location of the tumor represented by the three-dimensional image in the ultrasound three-dimensional image display unit 54 and accurately collects tissue from the inside of the human body.
상술한 바와같이, 본 발명은 유방암검사방법에 관한 것으로, X-ray로 유방암 검사를 하여 종양이 검출되면, 초음파3차원영상을 통해 종양의 정확한 위치를 찾아 조직검사를 할 수 있도록 하는 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention relates to a breast cancer screening method, and when a tumor is detected by X-ray breast cancer examination, there is an effect of enabling the biopsy to find the exact location of the tumor through an ultrasound three-dimensional image. .
