Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasonic imaging post-processing method and a device of the ultrasonic imaging post-processing method. The ultrasonic imaging post-processing method is used for processing output signals of the front end of the ultrasonic imaging beam forming and comprises the following steps: (1) conducting mixing processing to the output signals of the front end of the ultrasonic imaging and an orthogonality I component and an orthogonality component Q are acquired, (2) conducting lowpass filtering processing to two line orthogonal signals through a cascading integral comb filter and meanwhile conducting down-sampling in the middle of cascading integral comb filter. The ultrasonic imaging post-processing method further comprises steps of revising a transitional zone of frequency response of the cascading integral comb filter through a correcting filter. The step (2) further comprises the following steps:(1) sending the orthogonality I component and the orthogonality Q component after the mixing processing into the cascading integral comb filter and an output signal Ii (n) and an output signal Qi (n) are acquired, (2) conducting down-sampling to the signal Ii (n) and the output signal Qi (n) according to post-processing requirements to the signal Iid (n) and the output signal Qid (n), (3) processing Iid (n) and Qid (n) through the cascading integral comb filter and an output signal Iiedc (n) and an output signal Qidc (n) of the cascading integral comb filter are acquired.
