Because according to this application, some steps can be performed in other order or at the same time.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of an ultrasound imaging system in an embodiment of the application. The ultrasound imaging system 10 may include a probe 100, a transmitting circuit 102 connected to the probe 100, a receiving circuit 104 connected to the probe 100, a beam combining module 106, a signal processing module 108, an imaging processing module 110, and a display device 112, wherein the receiving circuit 104, The beam combining module 106, the signal processing module 108, the imaging processing module 110, and the display device 112 may be electrically connected in sequence. The transmitting circuit 102 can excite the probe 100 to transmit ultrasonic waves to the target to be measured; the receiving circuit 104 can receive the ultrasonic echo returned from the target to be measured through the probe 100 to obtain ultrasonic echo data; the ultrasonic echo data is processed by the beam synthesis circuit 106 After beam synthesis processing, it is sent to the signal processing module 108. The signal processing module 108 sends the result of the ultrasonic echo data processing to the imaging processing module 110 to obtain an ultrasonic image of the target tissue. The ultrasound image obtained by the imaging processing module 110 may be stored in the memory 802. These ultrasound images can be displayed on the display device 112. In this embodiment, the ultrasound imaging system 10 can provide multiple image style ultrasound images, so that the user can select a suitable image style ultrasound image for detection.

Please also refer to FIG. 2, which shows a flowchart of the steps of the ultrasound imaging method in an embodiment of the present application. The ultrasound imaging method includes the following steps:

Step 200: Transmit ultrasonic waves to the target under test through the probe, and then receive the ultrasonic echo reflected by the target under test, and obtain ultrasonic echo data.

In this embodiment, after receiving the excitation sequence, the transmitting circuit 102 can transmit ultrasonic waves to the target to be measured (including but not limited to tissues such as breast, liver, lung, etc.) through the probe 100. After a certain delay, the probe 100 can receive the ultrasonic echo with the information of the detected object reflected from the object to be detected. The probe 100 can convert this ultrasonic echo into ultrasonic echo data in the form of an electrical signal. The receiving circuit 104 is used to receive the electrical signal generated by the conversion of the probe 100, and send the processed ultrasonic echo data (including but not limited to amplification, gain compensation, detection, noise filtering, and A/D conversion processing) into the beam synthesis module 106. The beam synthesis module 106 performs focus delay, weighting, and channel summation processing on the ultrasound echo data, and the signal processing module 108 according to the imaging mode, such as B imaging mode, C imaging mode, contrast imaging mode, elastography mode, vector Blood flow imaging mode, etc., carry out related signal processing. For example, in the tissue grayscale imaging mode (ie, B mode), the signal processing module 108 may perform envelope detection and other processing on the beam-synthesized ultrasound echo data to generate ultrasound echo data obtained from the echo intensity. For example, in the color blood flow imaging mode (ie C mode), the signal processing module 108 can perform processing such as wall filtering and velocity variance energy calculation on the beam-synthesized ultrasound echo data to generate ultrasound echoes with blood flow velocity information. data. For example, in the elastic imaging mode, the signal processing module 108 may perform displacement calculation and velocity calculation on the ultrasonic echo signal synthesized by the beam to generate ultrasonic echo data with tissue elasticity information.

Step 202: Generate a reference image of the target to be measured based on the ultrasound echo data.

In this embodiment, the ultrasonic echo data can be generated during the user's ultrasonic scanning through the probe, and the imaging processing module 110 performs different processing on the ultrasonic echo data according to the different imaging modes required by the user. The image data of the ultrasound image in the imaging mode is used to display on the display device 112, wherein the different imaging modes may include B imaging mode, C imaging mode, contrast imaging mode, elastography mode, vector blood flow imaging mode, etc., corresponding to the above Different imaging modes can form image data of tissue grayscale images (B image shown in FIG. 7), color blood flow images, contrast images, elastic images, and vector blood flow images. The processing procedures corresponding to different imaging modes can be combined with techniques well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

When generating a reference image corresponding to the target to be measured based on the ultrasonic echo data, the imaging processing module 110 may use preset parameters or parameter combinations to process the ultrasonic echo data to generate the reference image 180 (shown in FIG. 7). In one embodiment, the ultrasonic echo data may also be the ultrasonic echo data stored in the memory 802 (shown in FIG. 13) of the ultrasonic imaging system 10 after the ultrasonic inspection is completed, or from other storage devices (such as external USB devices) After adjusting the acquired ultrasound echo data, the imaging processing module 110 may also perform different processing on the ultrasound echo data according to different imaging modes to obtain image data of ultrasound images in different imaging modes.

Step 204: Provide multiple image style processing modes.

In this embodiment, in order to improve the flexibility and accuracy of ultrasonic detection, the imaging processing module 110 may provide multiple image style processing modes to process the reference image to generate target images 182 with different image styles (shown in FIG. 5). This allows users to perform ultrasonic testing based on target images of different image styles. The image style processing mode can be based on a combination of preset image post-processing parameters to obtain multiple image style processing modes, or it can implement multiple image styles through artificial intelligence methods such as machine learning or deep learning. For example, the image style processing mode may include the processing mode of image gray scale transformation, the processing mode based on neural network, the processing mode of histogram correction, the processing mode of smoothing filter, the processing mode of high-pass filtering, or the processing mode of low-pass filtering. One or more, different target images are different from the reference image in one or more features of image noise, target edge highlighting, overall uniformity, image sharpness, image smoothness, and image contrast, and are different There are differences between the target images in one or more of the characteristics of image noise, target edge highlighting, overall uniformity, image sharpness, image smoothness, and image contrast. When the image style processing mode adopts the neural network-based processing mode, images of different image styles can be used to train multiple neural networks. When the reference image is input to the trained neural network, target images of different image styles can be obtained.

In this embodiment, the processing mode based on image gray scale transformation may also include the processing mode of linear transformation, the processing mode of logarithmic transformation, and the processing mode of gamma transformation. The function of linear transformation can be expressed as: s=a·r+b, where r is the gray scale of the ultrasonic echo data before the transformation or the gray scale of the image data, and s is the gray scale or the grayscale of the ultrasonic echo data after the transformation. The gray scale of the image data, the different values of a and b can produce different image styles.

For example, when a>1, relative to the reference image, the contrast of the obtained target image in the image is increased; when a<1, relative to the reference image, the contrast of the obtained target image in the image Reduced; when a=1 and b≠0, relative to the reference image, the overall gray value of the obtained target image shifts up or down, so that the overall target image becomes brighter or darker without affecting The contrast between the reference image and the target image; when a=-1 and b=255, the target image obtained is image-inverted relative to the reference image, thereby enhancing the white or gray details in the dark areas of the image. The processing mode of neural network, the processing mode of histogram correction, the processing mode of smoothing filtering, the processing mode of high-pass filtering and the processing mode of low-pass filtering can all be obtained based on related technologies.

Please also refer to FIG. 3, which is a block diagram of a first type of imaging processing module in an embodiment of the application. The imaging processing module 110 of the first type may include an image input unit 130, a plurality of image style processing units 132, and an image display unit 134, wherein each image style processing unit corresponds to a different image style processing mode, and multiple image style processing units At least one image style processing unit in the unit 132 can selectively perform image style processing on the data received by the image input unit 130, and the target images obtained after each image style processing unit performs image style processing also have different differences. Image style. In this embodiment, each image style processing unit can be selectively connected to or disconnected from the image input unit 130 through a channel, so that at least one image style processing unit of the plurality of image style processing units 132 can be The image style processing is selectively performed on the data received by the image input unit 130.

Step 206: Process the reference image based on the image style processing mode to obtain a preset number of target images.

In this embodiment, the image style processing unit 132 may include a first image style processing unit, a second image style processing unit, and a third image style processing unit.

For example, the reference image 180 may include several pixels, and each pixel has corresponding image data. At least one of the first image style processing unit, the second image style processing unit, and the third image style processing unit can be The image data corresponding to the reference image undergoes image style processing to generate one or more target images 182. For example, the first image style processing unit may be a processing mode based on image grayscale transformation, the second image style processing unit may be a processing mode based on neural network, and the third image style processing unit may be a processing mode based on high-pass filtering.

For example, after the first image style processing unit performs image style processing on the image data corresponding to the reference image, the first target image may be generated, and the image style of the first target image may be "image style 1"; After the image style processing unit performs image style processing on the image data corresponding to the reference image, a second target image can be generated, and the image style of the second target image can be "image style 2"; when the third image style processing unit After image style processing is performed on the image data corresponding to the reference image, a third target image may be generated, and the image style of the third target image may be "image style 3". If only the first image style processing unit performs image style processing on the image data corresponding to the reference image, a target image, that is, the first target image, can be obtained. At this time, the preset number is 1; After the image style processing unit performs image style processing on the image data corresponding to the reference image, two target images can be obtained, namely the first target image and the second target image. At this time, the preset number is 2; 1. After the second and third image style processing units perform image style processing on the image data corresponding to the reference image, three target images can be obtained, namely the first target image, the second target image, and the third target image. In addition, the image styles between the first to third target images are also different. At this time, the preset number is 3.

Please also refer to FIG. 4, which is a block diagram of a second type of imaging processing module 110 in an embodiment of this application. The second type of imaging processing module 110 may also include an image input unit 130, a plurality of image style processing units 132, and an image display unit 134, wherein each image style processing unit of the plurality of image style processing units 132 is used to input an image The data received by the unit 130 performs image style processing or does not perform image style processing. In this embodiment, the image style processing unit 132 may include a first image style processing unit, a second image style processing unit, and a third image style processing unit, and the first to third image style processing units are used to simultaneously Image style processing is performed on the image data corresponding to the reference image, or not processed; when image style processing is performed on the received image data at the same time, the first to third target images can be obtained, if the received image data is not imaged If the style is processed or the ultrasonic echo data is not received, no target image will be generated.

In an embodiment, the imaging processing module 110 may also generate the ultrasonic echo data corresponding to the reference image (including but not limited to the generated ultrasonic echo data processed by the signal processing module or the pair of the imaging processing module 110). The ultrasonic echo data generated after operations such as digital compression and dynamic range adjustment) are processed in image style to generate the corresponding target image. For example, the image style processing unit 132 in the imaging processing module 110 of the first type or the second type may perform one or more image style processing on the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the reference image 180 to obtain one or more Target image.

Step 208: Display one or more of the preset number of target images through the display device.

In this embodiment, the image display unit 134 may display each of the preset number of target images and corresponding image style options through the display device 112; or, the image display unit 134 may display each image style option through the display device 112, and display After obtaining the image style options selected by the user's image style selection operation, a preset number of target images corresponding to the selected image style options are displayed, for example, a target image 182 is displayed.

Please also refer to FIG. 5, which shows a schematic diagram of a first type of image style display interface in an embodiment of the application. The display device 112 is used to display a first type of image style display interface 190, where the first type of image style display interface 190 includes an image display area 192 and a number of image style options 194, and each image style option 194 is associated with an image style. The processing unit or image style processing mode corresponds. In this embodiment, the user can input or trigger an image style selection operation in the image style display interface 190 (including but not limited to clicking a display device with a trigger function, or selecting a corresponding image style option through a mouse or a button), the image display unit 134 can display the target image 182 corresponding to the selected image style option in the image display area 192.

For example, the image style option of "Image Style 1" may correspond to the image style processing mode corresponding to the first image style processing unit, and the image style option of "Image Style 2" may correspond to the image corresponding to the second image style processing unit. The style processing mode corresponds, and the image style option of "image style 3" may correspond to the image style processing mode corresponding to the third image style processing unit. When the image style option of "Image style 1" is selected, the image display unit 134 may display the target image 182 corresponding to the image style option 194 of "Image style 1" in the image display area 192, such as in the image display area 192. The first target image is displayed inside.

Please refer to FIG. 3 again. When the image style option in the image style display interface 190 of the first type is selected, the imaging processing module 110 of the first type determines the image style processing mode corresponding to the selected image style option, and selects the corresponding image style option. The image style processing unit performs image style processing on the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the generated reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180 to obtain the corresponding target image, while other image style processing units may not perform image style processing. deal with. For example, when the image style option of "Image style 1" is selected or triggered, the imaging processing module 110 may determine that the image style processing mode corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 1" is the first image style processing unit. Therefore, The passage between the first image style processing unit and the image input unit can be controlled to be conducted to receive the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the generated reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180. After that, the first image style processing unit may perform image style processing on the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the generated reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180 to generate the first target image. The image display unit 134 can display the first target image in the image display area 192.

In addition, in the process of image style processing performed by the first image style processing unit, since the image style option of "Image style 2" and the image style option of "Image style 3" are not selected or triggered, at this time, the corresponding second image The style processing unit and the third image style processing unit may not perform image style processing on the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the generated reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180, or the second image style processing unit and the third image style The processing unit may not be used to receive the ultrasonic echo data corresponding to the reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180 (for example, the path between the image input unit and the second image style processing unit and the third image style processing unit is broken). open).

In an embodiment, the image display unit 134 may also highlight the image style options corresponding to the target image displayed in the image display area 192. For example, if the image style option of "Image Style 2" is triggered or selected, the first The second target image can be displayed in the image display area 192. At this time, the image display unit 134 can also highlight the image style option of "Image Style 2" to facilitate the user to quickly learn the image style currently displayed in the image display area 192 .

In an embodiment, the user can select multiple image style options 194 in the first type of image style display interface 190, and the image display unit 134 can dynamically display corresponding multiple target images in the image display area 192. For example, when the image style option of "Image style 1" and the image style option of "Image style 2" are selected or triggered, the imaging processing module 110 may determine the image style processing mode corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 1" It is the first image style processing unit, and the image style processing mode corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 2" is the second image style processing unit. Therefore, the path between the first image style processing unit and the image input unit can be controlled to be turned on, and the path between the second image style processing unit and the image input unit can be controlled to be turned on, so that the first image style processing unit and the second image style processing unit are turned on. The image style processing unit can receive and generate the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180. After that, the first image style processing unit performs image style processing on the ultrasonic echo data corresponding to the generated reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180 to generate the first target image; the second image style processing unit generates The ultrasound echo data corresponding to the reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180 undergoes image style processing to generate a second target image. The image display unit 134 can dynamically display the first target image and the second target image (for example, each target image is alternately displayed) in the image display area 192.

Please refer to FIG. 4 again. Each image style processing unit in the second type of imaging processing module 110 can simultaneously perform image style processing on the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180. To get the corresponding target image. For example, the first to third image style processing units in the second type of imaging processing module 110 can simultaneously perform image style processing on the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the generated reference image 180 or the image data contained in the reference image 180 to obtain The first target image, the second target image, and the third target image. At this time, when the image style option in the image style display interface 191 of the second type is triggered, the imaging processing module 110 of the second type may select the image corresponding to the triggered image style option from the generated multiple target images. The target image generated by the style processing mode. For example, since the first target image, the second target image, and the third target image have been generated, if the image style option of "Image style 1" is triggered, the first image style corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 1" The processing unit has generated the first target image, and therefore, the image display unit 134 may select the first target image from the generated first to third target images to be displayed in the image display area 192.

In other embodiments, when the user selects multiple image style options 194 in the first type of image style display interface 190, the image display unit 134 can dynamically display the corresponding multiple target images in the image display area 192. For example, the first target image, the second target image, and the third target image are dynamically displayed in the image display area 192, so that the user can quickly browse the target images of various image styles that can be provided.

Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows a schematic diagram of a second type of image style display interface in an embodiment of this application. The display device 112 is configured to display a second type of image style display interface 191, where the second type of image style display interface 191 includes a plurality of image style options 194 and an image display area 192 corresponding to each image style option, and Each image style option 194 corresponds to an image style processing unit or image style processing mode. In this embodiment, the second type of image style display interface 191 can display each of the preset number of target images and corresponding image style options, for example, the first image style processing unit that generates the first target image and the "image Corresponding to the image style option of "Style 1", the image display unit 134 can display the first target image in the first image display area corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 1"; the second image style processing unit that generates the second target image Corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 2", the image display unit 134 may display the second target image in the second image display area corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 1"; generate a third image of the third target image The style processing unit corresponds to the image style option of "Image style 3", and the image display unit 134 may display the third target image in the third image display area corresponding to the image style option of "Image style 3".

To facilitate the user to compare the image style of the target image generated by the image style processing mode with the reference image, the image display unit 134 may display the reference image 180 and the target image 182 at the same time. The image display unit 134 may display the reference image 180 and the target image 182 in the same display screen or display the reference image 180 and the target image 182 in different display screens, respectively. For example, the display device 112 may include a first display screen and a second display screen, where the first display screen may be a touch screen provided on the control panel, and the second display screen may be the main display screen of the ultrasound imaging system. When displaying the reference image 180 and the target image 182 in the same display screen, the image display unit 134 may display one or more target images 182 on the first display screen, and display the reference image 180 in the first display screen; Alternatively, one or more target images 182 are displayed on the second display screen, and the reference image 180 is displayed on the second display screen. When the reference image 180 and the target image 182 are respectively displayed in different display screens, the image display unit 134 may display one or more target images 182 on the first display screen, and display the reference image 180 on the second display screen Or, display one or more target images 182 on the second display screen, and display the reference image 180 on the first display screen.

In one embodiment, when the display device 112 displays the reference image 180, the image display unit 134 may display a switching option in the interface displaying the reference image 180. When it is detected that the switching option is triggered, it means that the user needs to view different image styles. The target image. At this time, the image display unit 134 displays multiple image style options in the display device 112. The multiple image style options can be displayed on the display screen where the reference image 180 is displayed (as shown in FIG. 8) or displayed On another display screen (as shown in Figure 7).

For example, the better image style corresponding to the convex array probe may be generated by the first image style processing mode, and the better image corresponding to the linear array probe The style may be generated by the second image style processing mode. Therefore, the imaging processing module 110 can obtain the type information of the probe 100, wherein probes with different types of information have corresponding one or more image style processing modes. The imaging processing module 110 may automatically determine the priority image style processing mode based on the type information of the probe 100.
