This step may include performing wave speed synthesis on the ultrasonic echo signal in the beam synthesis circuit 104 and transmitting it to the processor 105, which processes the ultrasonic echo signal to obtain an ultrasonic image of the scanned object.

Step 203: Display the ultrasound image and display the control interface. The ultrasound image processed by the processor 105 is displayed on the display 106. As shown in FIG. 10, the control interface is displayed on the display 106, and includes

control instruction icons

1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009 or a collection of control instruction icons that the user can select through the input device. Control instruction icons Including

Step 204: Monitoring whether there is a third mode control signal input. The third mode control signal may be converted from a user input instruction received by the input device. The third mode control signal may be a specific one or more control signals, or may be any control signal received by the processor 105. The processor 105 monitors whether there is a third mode control signal input, and when the processor 105 does not detect the third mode control signal input, step 205 is executed.

It should be emphasized that there is no order restriction among the steps in each embodiment, and this order is only used for the convenience of the description. For example, step 204 monitors whether there is a third mode control signal input can be located in step 203 to display an ultrasound image And display the control interface; it can also be located in step 203 before the ultrasonic image is displayed and the control interface is displayed; it can also be located in step 201 before the ultrasonic probe is used to transmit ultrasonic waves to the scanned object and receive the ultrasonic echo, and before the ultrasonic echo signal is obtained, and other steps Combine in any feasible order.

Step 205: Determine the length of time during which no third mode control signal is input continuously.

In step 206, it is determined whether the length of time that the third mode control signal is not continuously input is greater than a preset threshold, and if the length of time that the third mode control signal is not continuously input exceeds the preset threshold, step 207 is executed. In one embodiment, a timer may be used to count time. When the processor 105 starts working or receives the latest third mode control signal, the timer is triggered to start timing; when the processor 105 receives the third mode control signal again within the preset time threshold When the mode control signal is triggered, the timer is triggered to restart timing; when the processor 105 continuously has no input of the third mode control signal for a time period exceeding the preset threshold, step 207 is executed.

Step 207: Enlarge the display of the ultrasound image and hide the control interface. The ultrasound image displayed in step 203 may be a conventional ultrasound image display mode. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the ultrasound image is displayed in a part of the display area on the display 106 and the control interface is hidden. When the processor 105 executes the magnified display ultrasound image mode, the ultrasound image can be displayed on a display area larger than the aforementioned partial display area, or as shown in FIG. 11, the ultrasound image can be displayed on the entire display area of the display 106, or The region of interest of the ultrasound image is enlarged and displayed on the display region of the aforementioned conventional ultrasound image display mode. In the process of scanning using the probe, medical staff generally do not need to set up the ultrasound imaging equipment. When the ultrasound image is enlarged and displayed, hiding the control interface can prevent unimportant information from interfering with the display of the ultrasound image.

In this embodiment, when it is detected that the ultrasound imaging device has not input a control signal or the time for which a specific control signal has not been input exceeds a preset threshold, the magnified ultrasound image mode is automatically turned on, so that the medical staff does not use the probe to scan the scanned object. You need to input additional instructions to the ultrasound imaging equipment to see the large-size ultrasound image, which solves the problem that medical staff may be far away from the ultrasound imaging equipment when scanning different body parts of the subject, which is inconvenient to operate the ultrasound imaging equipment. I want to see the technical problems of large-size ultrasound images.

In an embodiment, step 207 further includes after zooming in and displaying the ultrasound image and hiding the control interface:

Step 208: Determine whether the first mode control signal is received. When the processor 105 receives the first mode control signal, step 209 is executed. The first mode control signal can be converted from a user input instruction received by the input device. The first mode control signal can be a specific one or several control signals, or can be any control signal received by the processor 105. The mode signal may be the same as or different from the third mode signal.

Step 209: Restore to the original display mode display and restore the display control interface. The original display mode may be the display mode in which the ultrasound image is displayed in step 203, that is, the ultrasound image is displayed in an appropriate size in a part of the display area of the display and the control interface is displayed.

There is no restriction on the order of the above steps. After performing step 209, the display is restored to the original display mode and the display control interface is restored. You can continue to perform some or all of the steps 201 to 207 in an appropriate order, including zooming in again. Ultrasound image and hide the control interface, etc.

In this embodiment, when the medical staff finishes the scan and wants to process the ultrasound image, or needs to set up the ultrasound imaging device for the next scan, the ultrasound imaging device receives the control signal or specific control signal and automatically Restore to the original display mode display, and restore the display control interface, which is convenient for medical staff to operate.

Step 305: Determine the length of time during which no third mode control signal is input continuously.

In step 306, it is determined whether the length of time that the third mode control signal is not continuously input is greater than a preset threshold, and if the length of time that the third mode control signal is not continuously input exceeds the preset threshold, step 307 is executed.

In step 307, the ultrasound image is enlarged and displayed. When the processor 105 determines that the length of time for which the third mode control signal is not continuously input exceeds the preset threshold, it inputs an instruction to the display 106 to enlarge and display the ultrasound image.
