The method for determining the inspection mode in this application is described in detail below.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a method for determining an inspection mode provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method for determining an inspection mode is applied to an ultrasound device. The ultrasound device has a probe. The method for determining the inspection mode includes:

201. Receive a first operation instruction.

In this embodiment, when the target object needs to be checked, the user performs an operation on the display 106, the ultrasound device 10 generates a corresponding operation instruction, and the processor 105 receives the first operation instruction.

In one embodiment, the operation that generates the first operation instruction includes at least one of a gesture operation, a sliding operation, a click operation, a voice control operation, and a key operation. For example, when the user clicks on the display 106, the processor 105 may receive In this click operation, at this time, the click operation generates a first operation instruction, that is, the first operation instruction can be defined in advance, for example, a sliding operation is defined in advance to trigger the processor 105 to determine the target according to the probe type and / or inspection depth Inspection range (such as left slide operation, right slide operation, up slide operation, and down operation, etc.), or define a click operation to trigger the processor 105 to determine the target inspection range according to the probe type and / or inspection depth (such as click operation or Double-click operation, etc.), or define a gesture operation to trigger the processor 105 to determine the target inspection range according to the probe type and / or inspection depth (such as swinging the wrist or arm to the left, swinging the wrist or arm to the right, such as the four-finger contraction operation Or three fingers swipe up, etc.), or define the voice control operation to trigger the processor 105 according to the probe Type and / or inspection depth to determine the target inspection range (if the sound to determine the target inspection range is received, the target inspection range is determined according to the probe type and inspection depth), or a key operation is defined to trigger the processor 105 according to the probe type and / or Or inspection depth to determine the target inspection range (for example, when receiving a key operation on the Q key on the keyboard of the ultrasound equipment, the target inspection range is determined according to the probe type and / or inspection depth. Of course, you can also define a combination, such as the Q key And W keys, not specifically limited), the above is only an example and does not mean that the operation of generating the first operation instruction is limited.

It should be noted that the ultrasound device may also preset some trigger conditions, and when these preset trigger conditions are reached, the processor 105 of the ultrasound device executes the computer mechanism for determining the target inspection mode. The foregoing first operation instruction may also be understood as an instruction that triggers the trigger condition. For example, the trigger condition may be: when starting a new examination (may change a patient, or change the probe type), or when the doctor changes the current examination depth, or enters a section after the image of the examination site has undergone a major change In a slightly stable state (exclude the unstable state caused by adjusting the depth, starting the examination, or changing the examination site), or setting a shortcut to be started by the doctor. When the above-mentioned trigger condition is reached, the ultrasound device performs a calculation link to determine the target inspection mode, and after determining the target inspection mode, updates the current inspection mode to the target inspection mode.

202. In response to the first operation instruction, determine the target inspection range according to the probe type and / or inspection depth.

In this embodiment, after receiving the first operation instruction, the processor 105 may respond to the first operation instruction and determine the target inspection range according to the type and / or inspection depth of the probe. Specifically, the processor 105 may according to the type of probe Determine the inspection mode corresponding to the probe type from the database to obtain the target inspection range, wherein the database includes inspection modes corresponding to different types of probes, or the processor 105 determines the target corresponding to the current inspection depth from the database according to the inspection depth Inspection scope, the database includes inspection modes corresponding to different inspection depths, or the processor 105 can determine the target inspection scope according to the probe type and inspection depth, that is to say, the processor 105 can first select from the database according to the probe type Determine the inspection mode corresponding to the probe type to obtain the first inspection range. After obtaining the first inspection range, the processor 105 can obtain the current inspection depth of the target object by the probe. Since the inspection depth of different target objects is different, it can be based on Probe inspection depth Determining a target range check within a first range check, to check the number range within the target inspection mode comprises less than or equal to the number of the first inspection mode includes range checking. In other words, the user can adjust the current image depth generated by the ultrasound device autonomously according to the position difference of the detection target object during the use of the ultrasound device to achieve the display effect of the best spatial position distribution, for example, by reducing the current depth to view the shallow At the surface part, some inspection modes of deeper parts (such as deep blood vessel inspection mode, deep nerve inspection mode, and abdominal high-penetration inspection mode) will be excluded, so as to further narrow the target object from the first inspection range. The range of the inspection mode to get the target inspection range.

It should be noted that the database includes inspection modes corresponding to different types of probes, such as linear array probes, convex array probes, and phased array probes. The inspection modes corresponding to each probe, and for example, the inspection modes corresponding to linear array probes at least include Thyroid examination mode, carotid examination mode, breast examination mode and nerve examination mode, the corresponding examination modes of convex array probe include adult abdominal examination mode, obstetric OB examination mode, kidney examination mode and fetal heart examination mode, phased array probe corresponding Examination modes include adult cardiac examination mode, adult abdominal examination mode and transcranial Doppler TCI examination mode. The above probe types and the inspection modes corresponding to the probe types are only examples and do not represent limitations.

203. Acquire target information.

In this embodiment, when the target object is checked, the ultrasound echo information is returned from the target object, and the processor 105 can obtain the target information.

204. Determine the target inspection mode from the target inspection range according to the target information.

In this embodiment, after the processor 105 obtains the target information, the target inspection mode can be determined from the target inspection range according to the target information.

It should be noted that, the target information acquired in step 203 may further include information of the target object and / or at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period. That is to say, the target information in step 203 must include the ultrasound echo information returned from the target object, and may also include the information of the target object and at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period. Among them, the information of the target object may be the preliminary diagnostic information of the target object, which may be derived from the acquisition of information of the ultrasound workstation (such as abdominal ultrasound examination, or observation of blood supply information of the brain, etc.); the information of the target object may also be User data entered when creating a new exam (eg age, gender, weight, BMI, etc.). The following describes how to determine the target inspection mode based on various situations included in the target information:

1. The target information includes only the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object.

When the target information includes only the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object, the processor 105 can determine the target inspection site based on the information characteristics of the ultrasonic echo information; determine the target inspection mode that matches the target inspection site from within the target inspection range . For example, the ultrasound device 10 scans to obtain ultrasound brightness information B within a certain range, ultrasound Doppler echo information within a certain area (such as color Doppler data Color, pulsed Doppler data PW, continuous wave Doppler data CW, etc. , Of course, you can also include other data, specific is not limited). It can be understood that the ultrasound scan can work by focusing waves or plane waves, and the scope of the ultrasound scan can be in a larger area (more than the current B area width), or in the current B equivalent area, or in the vicinity of the focus Be processed within. By analyzing the information characteristics of the ultrasound echo information of the current part, such as the sound velocity of the ultrasound echo information of the current part, the echo signal strength of the ultrasound echo information, and the Doppler motion information distribution of the ultrasound echo information, etc. For further screening. For example, the sound velocity value of the current part is biased towards fat or musculoskeletal; at the same time, it can also be inferred whether the current part is based on the difference between the frames before and after the current part (such as B image frame related judgment, or Doppler analysis motion artifacts, etc.) For areas with large motion, or areas with little difference between the front and back frames, such as in the blood vessel area, the scope of the target examination site can be further narrowed; a longer period of blood flow information can be obtained within the examination area. To further exclude micro blood flow parts such as thyroid and kidney; further by analyzing the flow velocity distribution of this part is high speed or low speed, the current Doppler pulse repetition frequency can be adjusted. For example, there is a difference between the blood flow distribution obtained in the kidney area examination area and the blood flow distribution in the liver area. The former has rich low-speed small blood flow, while the latter is mostly main blood flow data, and finally based on ultrasound echo information The information features of the target destination are identified. The database stores the inspection modes corresponding to each inspection site. After that, the inspection mode corresponding to the target inspection site can be matched with the inspection mode within the target inspection range to obtain the target inspection mode.

2. The target information only includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object and the target object information.

When the target information includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object and the information of the target object, the processor 105 may first determine the first inspection site according to the information characteristics of the ultrasonic echo information, and determine the first inspection site from the target inspection range At least one inspection mode matching the part, and then the processor 105 may determine at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object; match the at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object and the first inspection range with the first inspection part At least one of the inspection modes matches the inspection mode in the first inspection range to obtain the target inspection mode. That is to say, when the target information includes only the information of the target object and the ultrasound echo information returned from the target object, the examination mode corresponding to the two information can be determined separately, and then at least one examination corresponding to the preliminary diagnosis information of the target object is taken The intersection of the mode and at least one inspection mode that matches the first inspection site in the first range, and the obtained inspection mode is the target inspection mode.

It should be noted that when there is no intersection between at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object and at least one inspection mode that matches the first inspection site within the target range, at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object is determined as the target Check the mode.

It should be noted that the foregoing has described in detail how to obtain the inspection mode corresponding to the target inspection site based on the ultrasound echo information returned from the target object, and details are not described here.

3. When the target information includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object and at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period.

When the target information includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object and at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period, the processor 105 may first determine the second inspection site according to the information characteristics of the ultrasonic echo information After that, the processor 105 may determine that at least one inspection mode with a usage frequency greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period matches at least one inspection mode that matches the second inspection site within the target inspection range to obtain the target inspection mode. It can be understood that since each doctor has his own usage habits, the processor 105 may first determine at least one examination mode in which the ultrasound device is used at a frequency greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period (that is, the ultrasound device (A check mode with a frequency greater than a preset threshold within a period of time, such as 7 days). That is, when the target information includes only the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object and at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset period of time, at least one inspection mode corresponding to the ultrasonic echo information may be followed, Taking the intersection of at least one inspection mode with a usage frequency greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period and at least one inspection mode that matches the second inspection site within the target inspection range, the obtained inspection mode is the target inspection mode.

It should be noted that when there is no intersection between at least one inspection mode whose frequency of use is greater than a preset threshold and at least one inspection mode that matches the first inspection site within the target inspection range, the frequency of use within the predetermined time period At least one inspection mode greater than the preset threshold is determined as the target inspection mode.

4. The target information includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object, the information of the target object, and at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period.

When the target information includes the ultrasound echo information returned from the target object, the information of the target object, and at least one inspection mode whose usage frequency is greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period, the processor 105 first determines according to the information characteristics of the ultrasound echo information The third inspection site, and at least one inspection mode matching the third inspection site is determined from the target inspection range; after that, the processor 105 may determine at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object, and then, the processor 105 sets the target At least one inspection mode that matches the third inspection site within the inspection range, at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object, and at least one inspection mode that has a frequency of use greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period are matched to obtain a target inspection mode. That is, when the target information includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object, the information of the target object, and at least one inspection mode whose frequency of use exceeds a preset threshold within a preset period of time, the corresponding information of the target object can be determined separately At least one inspection mode and at least one inspection mode corresponding to the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object, and then at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object, and at least one inspection mode with a usage frequency greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period And the intersection of at least one inspection mode that matches the second inspection site within the target inspection range, the obtained inspection mode is the target inspection mode.

It should be noted that when at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object, at least one inspection mode with a usage frequency greater than a preset threshold within a preset time period, and at least one inspection mode that matches the third inspection site within the target inspection range When there is no intersection, at least one inspection mode corresponding to the information of the target object is determined as the target inspection mode.

It should be noted that, after the processor 105 determines the target inspection mode, the determined target inspection device may be directly displayed on the display interface of the ultrasound device.

It should also be noted that, when the target inspection mode includes at least one, the processor 105 determines the usage probability of each inspection mode in the target inspection mode; the inspection mode that the usage probability meets the first preset condition is displayed on the display interface of the ultrasound device; Or the use probability of each examination mode is displayed on the display interface of the ultrasound equipment. The first preset condition may be, for example, a threshold set by the user according to actual conditions, or a threshold set when the ultrasound device is initialized, which is not specifically limited.

It can be understood that the processor 105 may also display the access entrance of the inspection mode whose usage probability does not satisfy the first preset condition on the display interface of the ultrasound device.

It can be understood that the usage probability may be a weight, or may be expressed in other forms, which is not specifically limited. The following uses the probability as a weight to illustrate:

The processor 105 can determine the weight of each inspection mode in the target inspection mode, and display the inspection mode with the largest weight in the target inspection mode on the display interface of the ultrasound apparatus, and the first preset condition at this time is the target inspection mode The inspection mode with the largest weight in the middle. It can be understood that when the ultrasound echo information returned from the target object corresponds to more than one target inspection mode, due to the artificial inspection of the ultrasound echo information of each part according to the previous inspection experience during the initialization of the ultrasound device Set the weight of the mode. For example, the ultrasound echo information of the A site corresponds to the three inspection modes A1, A2, and A3. According to the previous inspection experience, it is known that the A2 inspection mode is used most often, and the weight of the A2 inspection mode is set. Highest (for example, 0.7), and then set the weights in sequence; similarly, at least one inspection mode corresponding to the inspection mode information whose usage frequency is greater than the preset threshold within the preset duration will also have a weight, such as the usage frequency greater than the preset duration There are three inspection modes with thresholds, namely B1, B2, and B3 inspection modes. B2 inspection mode is used more frequently than B1 inspection mode, and B1 inspection mode is used more frequently than B3 inspection mode, then B2 inspection mode Has the highest weight (for example, the weight corresponding to the B2 check mode is set to 0.7), followed by the B1 check The weight of the formula is finally the weight of the B3 inspection mode; at least one inspection mode corresponding to the preliminary diagnostic information of the target object will also have a weight. For example, the inspection modes corresponding to the diagnostic information of the target object are the C1, C2, and C3 inspection modes, respectively , The frequency of use of the C2 inspection mode is greater than the frequency of use of the C1 inspection mode, and the frequency of use of the C1 inspection mode is greater than the frequency of use of the C3 inspection mode, then the weight of the C2 inspection mode is the highest (for example, the weight corresponding to the C2 inspection mode is set to 70%) , Followed by the weight of C1 check mode, and finally the weight of C3 check mode.

Therefore, when the target information only includes the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object, and the target inspection mode has more than one inspection mode, the target inspection mode can be sorted according to the weight set according to experience during initialization. ; When the target information includes only the diagnostic information of the target object and the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object, and the inspection mode in the target inspection mode exceeds one, then comprehensively consider the target inspection mode corresponding to the diagnostic information of the target object The weight of each inspection mode of the target and the weight of each inspection mode in the target inspection mode corresponding to the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object are calculated for the weight of each inspection mode in the target inspection mode, for example, the target inspection mode includes D1 D2, D3 three inspection modes, D1 inspection mode, D2 inspection mode and D3 weight in the target inspection mode corresponding to the diagnostic information of the target object are 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5, D1 inspection mode, D2 inspection mode and D3 inspection mode Check the target corresponding to the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object The weights in the formula are 0.3, 0.1 and 0.6, then the weight of D1 inspection mode is 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5, and then the weight of D2 inspection mode is 0.3 + 0.1 = 0.4, and the weight of D3 inspection mode is 0.5+ 0.6 = 1.1, it can be obtained that the weight of the D3 inspection mode is the highest. Based on the above rules, when the target information mentioned above includes various kinds of information, and when the target inspection mode exceeds one, each inspection in the target inspection mode is determined. The weight of the mode, after which the inspection modes in the target inspection mode can be sorted according to the weight, and then the inspection mode with the highest weight is displayed on the display interface, and the access entrance of other inspection modes except the inspection mode with the highest weight Displayed on the display interface for users to choose.

It should be noted that after the ultrasound device determines the target inspection mode, it can transmit ultrasonic waves to the target object according to the inspection parameters of the target inspection mode, and receive the ultrasonic echo returned from the target object to obtain an ultrasonic echo signal.

It can be understood that when the target inspection mode includes at least two, the processor 105 may receive a first selection instruction, in response to the first selection instruction, determine the work inspection mode from the at least two target inspection modes, and follow the work inspection mode Of the inspection parameters transmit ultrasonic waves to the target object, and receive ultrasonic echoes returned from the target object to obtain an ultrasonic echo signal.

It should be noted that the first selection instruction is an instruction that triggers the selection of the inspection mode in the target inspection mode. The first selection instruction is similar to the first operation instruction. The above has been described in detail, and details are not repeated here.

In summary, when inspecting the target object, the ultrasound device may receive the first operation instruction; in response to the first operation instruction, determine the target inspection range according to the probe type and / or inspection depth; obtain the target information, the target information Including the ultrasonic echo information returned from the target object; the target inspection mode is determined from the target inspection range according to the target information. Therefore, in the embodiment provided by the present application, when the doctor operates the ultrasound device, only the probe needs to be scanned to the target object, the ultrasound device can determine the target inspection mode according to the target information, and automatically adjust to the current target inspection mode, simplify The tedious switching between different modes by the user improves the convenience of the operation of the ultrasound instrument.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a method for determining an inspection mode provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method for determining an inspection mode is applied to an ultrasound device. The ultrasound equipment has a probe, and the method of determining the inspection mode includes:

For details, please refer to step 203 in FIG. 2.

303. Determine the target inspection mode according to the target information.

For details, please refer to step 204 in FIG. 2. Step 303 is similar to step 204 in FIG. 2, except that step 204 in FIG. 2 is based on the target inspection mode acquired from the target inspection range based on the target information, while step 303 is based on The target information determines the target inspection mode from the inspection modes included in the database.
