Based on this, referring to fig. 2, an ultrasound imaging method according to an embodiment of the present application is applied to an ultrasound apparatus 10, and the ultrasound imaging method includes:
201. In a first examination mode, unfocused ultrasound waves are transmitted to a target object.
In this embodiment, the processor 105 may first determine the current first inspection mode, and then transmit unfocused ultrasound to the target object in the first inspection mode. The first inspection mode includes at least one of the following inspection modes: thyroid examination mode, carotid examination mode, breast examination mode, nerve examination mode, adult abdomen examination mode, obstetrical OB examination mode, kidney examination mode, fetal heart examination mode, adult abdomen examination mode, and transcranial doppler TCI examination mode. Specifically, the ultrasonic waves may be emitted to the target object at the first transmission pulse repetition frequency PRF in the first inspection mode, or may be emitted to the target object at a different PRF in the first inspection mode, which is not particularly limited.
In one embodiment, the ultrasonic wave may be a plane wave or a divergent wave, that is, a plane wave may be emitted to the target object in the first inspection mode, or a focused wave may be emitted to the target object in the first inspection mode.
In one embodiment, the target object may be a face, a spine, a heart, a uterus, a pelvic floor, or the like, or may be other parts of a human tissue, such as a brain, a bone, a liver, or a kidney, or the like, which is not limited herein.
202. And receiving ultrasonic echo of unfocused ultrasonic waves returned from the target object, and obtaining ultrasonic echo data.
In this embodiment, the processor 105 may receive an ultrasonic echo of unfocused ultrasonic waves returned from the target object, and obtain ultrasonic echo data. That is, after transmitting the unfocused ultrasonic wave to the target object, the target object may return an ultrasonic echo corresponding to the unfocused ultrasonic wave, and the processor 105 may process the ultrasonic echo to obtain ultrasonic echo data.
When the non-focused ultrasound is transmitted to the target object according to the first PRF in the first inspection mode, the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the first PRF is obtained, and when the non-focused ultrasound is transmitted to the target object according to the different PRFs in the first inspection mode, the ultrasound echo data corresponding to the different PRFs, that is, each PRF in the different PRFs corresponds to a set of ultrasound echo data, is obtained.
203. An ultrasound blood flow image of the target object is obtained from the ultrasound echo data.
In this embodiment, an ultrasound blood flow image of the target object may be obtained according to the ultrasound echo data, and it may be understood that when the ultrasound blood flow image is generated, data processing such as amplification, digital-to-analog conversion, and beam forming may be performed, and the ultrasound blood flow image of the target object may include a B-type image, a doppler image, a color blood flow image, or a combined display image of the above various images formed by signal processing.
After the ultrasonic blood flow image is obtained, since the blood flow velocity is a change from low velocity to high velocity from the wall of the blood vessel to the center of the blood vessel in the blood vessel actually detected, the blood flow is different in the moving direction relative to the ultrasonic probe (toward the ultrasonic probe and away from the ultrasonic probe) and is represented by two colors of reddening and bluing in the actual image. If the pulse repetition frequency is insufficient, high-speed blood flow data in the blood vessel will undergo color inversion from reddish to bluish or from bluish to reddish. By correcting the portion where the color abrupt change exceeds the threshold value by the color inversion correction function, the color of the portion where the inversion occurs can be corrected back to the correct direction. For multiple co-current blood flow data, in frames where some data is too full, the problem of multiple blood flow data being connected together indistinguishable occurs. By setting higher threshold data, deleting blood flow data with lower threshold and retaining data with larger flow speed, multiple blood flows in the same direction can be effectively distinguished.
204. A target blood flow in the ultrasound blood flow image is determined according to the first examination mode.
In this embodiment, the processor 105 may determine the target blood flow in the ultrasound blood flow image according to the first examination mode. Specifically, the processor 105 performs doppler data analysis on the ultrasonic blood flow image to obtain an analysis result, where the analysis result includes at least one blood flow type (such as small blood flow, arterial blood flow, venous blood flow, etc.); a target blood flow in the ultrasound blood flow image is determined based on the analysis result and the first examination mode. That is, the processor 105 may perform doppler data analysis on the ultrasound blood flow image to obtain at least one blood flow type corresponding to the target object, and at the same time, the examination sites or the blood flow types of the examination corresponding to different examination modes are different, for example, the first examination mode is a thyroid examination mode, and the thyroid only needs to pay attention to small blood flow. Since the analysis result is obtained by performing doppler data analysis on the ultrasound echo data, the target blood flow in the ultrasound blood flow image can be determined from the first examination mode and the analysis result. The following is described in connection with Doppler data analysis of the ultrasound blood flow image of FIG. 3:
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of doppler data analysis on an ultrasonic blood flow image according to an embodiment of the present application, where a region 300 is an ultrasonic blood flow image corresponding to a target object, and doppler data analysis is performed on the ultrasonic blood flow image to distinguish color blood flow data characteristics, such as blood flow types of arterial blood flow, venous blood flow or small blood flow, and the like, as shown in fig. 3, the data of a non-blood flow region 304 is 0, and the greater the flow velocity of a blood flow signal region is, the greater the numerical absolute value is. If the morphologically data area is small, it is classified as small blood flow information, such as region 301 in FIG. 3; if the values are relatively stable and the morphological data area is relatively large in the continuous multiframe, it can be determined that the venous information is venous blood flow, as 303 in fig. 3, and 306 is the display of venous blood flow on the flow velocity frame spectrum; if the value remains fluctuating with the heart rate and the morphological data area is relatively large in consecutive frames, it can be determined as arterial information, such as 302 in fig. 3, i.e. arterial blood flow, 305, i.e. a display of arterial blood flow on the flow velocity spectrum (there are positive and negative values due to distinguishing the flow direction relative to the probe flow direction).
205. And acquiring the correlation results of the pulse Doppler results and/or the color Doppler results of the velocity scales corresponding to the different transmission pulse repetition frequencies PRF and the target blood flow.
In this embodiment, since the ultrasound waves can be emitted to the target object in two different manners, the manners of acquiring the correlation results between the pulse doppler results and/or the color doppler results of the velocity scales corresponding to different PRFs and the target blood flow are also different, and the following descriptions respectively apply to:
1. transmitting unfocused ultrasonic waves to a target object by using a first PRF, and acquiring the correlation results of the pulse Doppler results and/or the color Doppler results of the velocity scales corresponding to different transmission pulse repetition frequencies PRF and the target blood flow comprises:
Performing downsampling treatment on the first PRF to obtain ultrasonic echo data corresponding to different PRFs;
Acquiring pulse Doppler results and/or color Doppler results of the target blood flow according to the ultrasonic echo data corresponding to different PRFs;
And correlating the velocity scales corresponding to different PRFs with pulse Doppler results and/or color Doppler results of the target blood flow to obtain correlation results.
That is, the first PRF may be first downsampled to obtain ultrasound echo data corresponding to different PRFs, for example, if the first PRF is 20 times/S, the first PRF may be downsampled to obtain PRF 10 times/S, or may be downsampled according to other multiples, which is not specifically limited; after the first PRF is subjected to downsampling processing to obtain ultrasonic echo data corresponding to different PRFs, pulse doppler results and/or color doppler results of the target blood flow are obtained according to the ultrasonic echo data corresponding to the different PRFs, velocity scales corresponding to the different PRFs are calculated according to the different PRFs (specific calculation modes are not limited herein), and finally, the velocity scales corresponding to the different PRFs are associated with the pulse doppler results and/or the color doppler results of the target blood flow to obtain association results.
2. When non-focused ultrasonic waves are transmitted to a target object according to different PRFs in a first inspection mode, acquiring different correlation results of a velocity scale corresponding to different transmission pulse repetition frequencies PRFs and pulse Doppler results and/or color Doppler results comprises:
Acquiring pulse Doppler results and/or color Doppler results of the target blood flow according to the ultrasonic echo data corresponding to different PRFs;
and correlating the velocity scales corresponding to different PRFs with pulse Doppler results and/or color Doppler results of the target blood flow to obtain the correlation results.
That is, since the unfocused ultrasonic waves are emitted to the target object through different PRFs, an ultrasonic blood flow image corresponding to each PRF in the different PRFs can be obtained, a velocity scale corresponding to the different PFRs can be calculated respectively, meanwhile, the ultrasonic blood flow image corresponding to each PRF in the different PRFs is calculated to obtain a pulse doppler result and/or a color doppler result of the target blood flow under each PRF in the different PRFs, and then the velocity scale corresponding to the different PRFs is correlated with the pulse doppler result and/or the color doppler result of the target blood flow under each PRF in the different PRFs to obtain a correlation result.
206. A target velocity scale is determined from the correlation result.
In this embodiment, the processor 105 may determine the target velocity scale from the correlation results, specifically, the processor 105 may determine, as the target velocity scale, the velocity scale corresponding to the correlation result in which the difference between the amplitude of the pulse doppler result of the target blood flow in the correlation result and the extremum absolute value of the velocity scale is smaller than the first preset threshold, and the processor 105 may further determine, as the target velocity scale, the velocity scale corresponding to the correlation result in which the difference between the maximum blood flow velocity value of the color doppler result of the target blood flow in the correlation result and the extremum absolute value of the velocity scale is smaller than the second preset threshold. The following is described in connection with fig. 4:
Referring to fig. 4, taking correlation results of velocity scales corresponding to 3 different PRFs and pulse doppler results as an example, 401, 402, and 403 are ultrasonic echo data corresponding to different PRFs, velocity scale 407 (extreme values of velocity scale are illustrated by (-100, 100) as an example), and pulse doppler results 404 are corresponding to ultrasonic echo data of PRFs of 401; velocity scale 408 (illustrated in fig. 4 by way of example as the extremum (-50, 50) of the velocity scale) corresponds to the ultrasound echo data of the PRF of pulse doppler results 405 and 402; the velocity scale 409 (illustrated in fig. 4 by way of example as the extremum (-25, 25) of the velocity scale) and the pulse doppler results 406 correspond to the ultrasound echo data of the PRF of 403. As is evident from the figure, the correlation result between the pulse doppler result of 405 and the velocity scale 408 is the most coincident correlation result among the three correlation results, that is, the difference between the amplitude of the pulse doppler result of 405 and the absolute value of the extremum of the velocity scale 408 is smaller than the preset threshold.
It should be noted that, the above description is given taking the correlation result of the pulse doppler result and the velocity scale as an example, and the correlation result of the color doppler result and the velocity scale is similar to this, and detailed description is omitted.
207. And performing ultrasonic scanning on the target object according to the PRF corresponding to the target speed scale.
In this embodiment, after obtaining the target velocity scale, the processor 105 may perform an ultrasonic scanning operation on the target object according to the PRF corresponding to the target velocity scale, specifically, may transmit unfocused ultrasonic waves to the target object according to the PRF corresponding to the target velocity scale, so as to obtain a target correlation result of the pulse doppler result and/or the color doppler result of the target velocity scale and the target blood flow, and display the target correlation result for the user to view.
It should be noted that, the method for obtaining the target correlation result of the pulse doppler result and/or the color doppler result of the target blood flow and the target velocity scale is similar to the method for obtaining the correlation result by correlating the pulse doppler result and/or the color doppler result of the target blood flow and the velocity scale corresponding to different PRFs in step 206, which have been described in detail above, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.
