Embodiment Construction

[0036] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] refer to figure 1 , shows in a block diagram an ultrasound system constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] The ultrasound probe 100 has a transducer array of transducer elements for transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals. The transducer array can be a one-dimensional array or a two-dimensional array of transducer elements. Either type of transducer array can scan a two-dimensional (2D) plane and a two-dimensional array can be used to scan a volumetric area in front of the array.

[0039] The ultrasound probe 100 is coupled to a B-mode imaging unit 110 . The B-mode imaging unit 110 may obtain a B-mode ultrasound image from ultrasound radio frequency data collected by the ultrasound probe 100 . The acquired B-mode ultrasound images may be displayed on a display 150 coupled to the B-mode i...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and a system for processing ultrasonic data. The method comprises: obtaining (210) a B-mode ultrasonic image; setting (220) a first ROI on the ultrasonic image according to a first input received from a user; measuring (230) elasticity-related data for the first ROI by using a shear wave ultrasonic imaging technique; generating (240) a second ROI on the ultrasonic image on the basis of the first ROI; and extracting image features for the second ROI from the ultrasonic image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to ultrasound-based imaging methods and systems, and in particular to the processing of ultrasound imaging data. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging has been widely accepted as an easy-to-use, inexpensive imaging modality for diagnosing malignancies such as breast, liver, prostate, etc. However, clinicians still have little confidence in the ability to use ultrasound to distinguish benign from malignant lesions due to its relatively poor image quality compared to other imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality and is operator dependent. [0003] In recent years, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems, also known as computer decision support systems (CSD), have been developed to assist clinicians in detecting or diagnosing lesions. [0004] Current ultrasound-based CAD systems rely on B-mode ultrasound images. For example, anatomical information extracte...
