Embodiment 1

[0062] Embodiment 1: as figure 1 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to overcome the problem that the echo is easily disturbed by the system noise and the body's own motion (such as heartbeat, breathing), and provide a method for detecting echo displacement based on acoustic radiation force:

[0063] Including the step S011 of performing linear interpolation on the echo signal corresponding to the excitation pulse signal. During the ultrasonic radiation force detection process, the single pulse sequence includes a reference detection pulse, an excitation pulse (long pulse), and a detection pulse (short pulse), There are echo signals corresponding to the above pulses in the echo signal, but the echo signal corresponding to the excitation pulse (long pulse) has no calculation value due to the interference of the emitted long wave, so it needs to be removed, and linear interpolation is used If the number of pulse repetitions (sampling volume) in the time direction is 24, ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an echo displacement detecting method and imaging method based on sound radiation force. Linear interpolation is used for removing the invalid echo corresponding to an drive pulse signal; a time sampling window is adjusted in a self-adaptive mode according to the smoothness index of the echo; a two-dimensional self-correlation Loupas algorithm is used for calculating the average displacement speed of the echo in the time sampling window, and the specific displacement of the echo in the time direction is obtained; a movement filtering manner is used for eliminating the interference information, brought by the tissue movement, on the echo displacement, the reliability of displacement detection is higher, and the noise-resistance capability is higher. The imaging method includes the displacement detecting method, multi-mode sound radiation force imaging correlated to the organization visco-elasticity can be provided, meanwhile, frame correlation processing is adopted for removing the interference generated by electronic noise so that image displaying can be more stable, the display resolution of a stretched and strengthened image is compared, the pressure information in the current working state is provided for sound radiation force imaging, and a doctor can conveniently analyze the image and safely operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical ultrasound imaging, in particular to a displacement detection method based on acoustic radiation force echo and an imaging method. Background technique [0002] Medical ultrasound vibroelastography was invented by Fatemi and Greenleaf in 1998. This technology uses an ultrasonic field to generate a low-frequency vibration and acts on the tissue under examination. The tissue is excited to produce different vibration amplitudes according to its own elastic modulus, and finally displayed through the image. Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) using acoustic radiation force excitation is a kind of vibroelastic imaging, which uses short-term focused acoustic pulses to act on tissue ROI (region of interest, region of interest) ), causing it to produce instantaneous, micron-scale displacements while emitting a sequence of acoustic pulses to detect tissue displacements. The magnitude of the displacement...
