Problems solved by technology

However, the medical ultrasound equipment currently used in most hospitals does not have the function of telemedicine, and the commercial telemedicine system is expensive and cannot be afforded by the majority of small and medium-sized hospitals.
At the same time, commercial medical ultrasound imaging systems often do not open their interfaces to the outside world, so it is difficult to obtain ultrasound image data

Embodiment 1

[0036] Such as figure 1 As shown, the wireless three-dimensional ultrasound imaging device of this embodiment includes a positioning device, a medical ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, a server and a client. The server and the client are connected through a wireless local area network, and the server is used to receive current location information and two-dimensional For ultrasound images, the client is used for image processing and 3D reconstruction.

[0037] figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the system in this embodiment is given. The device in this embodiment specifically includes: a server, a client 7, a medical ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1, a bracket, a linear slide 5, a slider 4, and an ultrasound probe 6, where The linear slide rail 5 is fixed on the bracket, the slide block 4 is slidably connected with the linear slide rail 5, the ultrasonic probe 6 is fixed on the slide block 4, and the linear displacement sensor for collecting current positioning info...

Embodiment 2

[0049] The structure of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1 except for the following features: image 3 A schematic structural diagram of the system in this embodiment is given. The device in this embodiment specifically includes: a server, a client 27, a medical ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 21, a bracket, a linear slide 25, a slider 24, and an ultrasound probe 26.

[0050] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the second wireless transmission module in this embodiment only includes the USB wireless network card 22, and the third transmission module is a Bluetooth adapter 23. The Bluetooth adapter 23 and the first wireless transmission module are connected through a wireless network for transmission. For positioning information, the USB wireless network card 22 and the Bluetooth adapter 23 are connected via a wireless network, and are used to transmit the intercepted two-dimensional ultrasound images.

Embodiment 3

[0058] Such as Figure 4 As shown, the device described in this embodiment specifically includes: a server, a client 34, a medical ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 31, and an ultrasonic probe 33. The server is provided with a first wireless transmission module 32, which is used to intercept several consecutive frames of two-dimensional ultrasound images displayed by the medical ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 31, and send the images to the client 34 through the first wireless transmission module 32; the client 34 is provided with The second wireless transmission module is used to receive images. After receiving the image, the client performs image processing and 3D reconstruction. This embodiment adopts a free-arm scanning method, and does not require a bracket, linear slide rail, and positioning device.

[0059] The steps of the wireless three-dimensional ultrasound imaging method of this embodiment are as follows:

[0060] (1) The server installed on the medical ultrasonic diag...

Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless three-dimensional ultrasound imaging method and device. The device comprises a server terminal mounted on a medical ultrasonic diagnostic instrument and a client mounted in background. The method includes acquiring, in a manner of screen capturing, a plurality of continuous two-dimensional ultrasound images displayed on the medical ultrasonic diagnostic instrument, processing the captured two-dimensional ultrasound images, acquiring patient, diagnosis position, probe type and scanning depth information, and finally extracting an interested area to perform three-dimensional reconstruction. In actual application, corresponding position estimation of adjacent image frames can be performed through image information to perform three-dimensional reconstruction; position information of the two-dimensional ultrasound images can be acquired from a positioning device, and three-dimensional reconstruction can be performed according to the position information and images. According to the method, image data of the commercial medical ultrasound imaging system can be acquired from an interface closed to the outside in the manner of screen capturing, the medical ultrasound imaging system produced by one particular vendor can be avoided, and the method has the advantages of platform crossing and high portability.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer-assisted medical imaging, in particular to a wireless three-dimensional ultrasound imaging method and device. Background technique [0002] Medical ultrasound diagnosis is a non-invasive, non-invasive diagnostic technology, which is quite effective for brain, liver and spleen, gallbladder, kidney, heart, thyroid, breast, body cavity fluid, and obstetrics and gynecology examinations. Among them, three-dimensional ultrasound imaging technology is more and more widely used in ultrasound diagnosis due to its intuitive imaging and high diagnostic accuracy. [0003] At present, telemedicine is in the ascendant, and medical ultrasound imaging technology, as a widely used diagnosis and treatment method, plays an important role in telemedicine. However, the medical ultrasound equipment currently used in most hospitals does not have the function of telemedicine, and the commercial telemedicine system is expensiv...
