Embodiment Construction

[0016] figure 1 A diagram of an ultrasound imaging method (100) according to one of the methods disclosed herein is shown. The analysis step 101 is a step of analyzing ultrasound image data. This analysis step may include known signal processing techniques such as filtering and anti-aliasing and other such techniques. In this step, the signal is segmented so that when it is displayed on a suitable video display unit (VDU), objects in the image are easily identifiable by a machine or human observer.

[0017] In a detection step 103, the composition of the fetal anatomy is identified. The techniques used may be, for example, pattern matching, curve fitting, and the like. Preferred constructs for identification may be the fetal spine, fetal femur, umbilical cord or the junction between the fetus and the umbilical cord. The configurations of fetal anatomy that can be used for this purpose are not limited to those described. For example, a fetal heart can also be used. What i...

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic image method capable of preventing the gender determination of a foetus. According to the method, the ultrasonic image data of a foetus is analyzed. Then the formation of at least one anatomical structure of the foetus except the reproductive organ is detected. Based on the formation of the foetus, the part of ultrasonic image containing at least the reproductive organ of the foetus is predicted. Finally, the ultrasonic image is displayed, wherein the predicted part of the image is nonidentifiable. In addition, an ultrasonic system is disclosed for performing the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The following relates to the field of ultrasound imaging and, in particular, to prenatal ultrasound imaging. Background technique [0002] Prenatal ultrasound imaging is a very useful tool for answering many questions related to pregnancy. One of these issues is the sex of the fetus. In some cases this possibility was abused, resulting in the killing of female infants. Therefore, in some countries, prenatal sex determination is prohibited by law. In such countries, institutions with ultrasound imaging equipment are required to maintain detailed records of prenatal screenings performed with the equipment, thereby being able to demonstrate to authorities that the equipment was not used for fetal sex determination. [0003] US patent application US 2009 / 0169074(A1 ) discloses that the display of a real-time ultrasound examination of a fetus can be designed to inhibit the gender determination task by selectively blurring images of fetal genitalia when r...
