Embodiment Construction

[0037] 【system structure】

[0038] figure 1 It is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the ultrasonic measurement device 10 according to the present embodiment. The ultrasonic measurement device 10 is a device for measuring biological information of the subject 2 by measuring reflected waves of ultrasonic waves. In this embodiment, the artery 5 and the vein 6 in the blood vessel 4 are automatically identified, and blood vessel function information such as IMT (Intima Media Thickness: thickness of the intima-media complex of the blood vessel) of the artery 5 is measured as biological information one.

[0039] The ultrasonic measurement device 10 includes a touch panel 12 serving as means for image display of measurement results and operation information, and means for operation input, a keyboard 14 for operation input, an ultrasonic probe 16 (probe), and a processing device 30 . A control board 31 is mounted on the processing device 30 , and the proces...

Abstract

A scanning line immediately above a blood vessel is detected using a received signal of a reflected wave of an ultrasonic wave transmitted to the blood vessel, and candidates for front and rear walls of the blood vessel are detected based on the received signal of the scanning line. Then, vascular front and rear walls pairs of front and rear walls among the candidates are narrowed down, and the narrowed-down vascular front and rear walls pair is regarded as one blood vessel and artery / vein identification is performed for each blood vessel. Measurement of vascular function information is performed for the blood vessel determined to be an artery.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-046557 filed on March 10, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic measurement device and the like that perform measurement using ultrasonic waves. Background technique [0003] As an example of measuring biological information by an ultrasonic measuring device, evaluation of blood vessel function and judgment of blood vessel disease are performed. For example, measurement of IMT (Intima Media Thickness) of the carotid artery, which is an index of arteriosclerosis, is one of them. In the measurement involving IMT and the like, it is necessary to find the carotid artery and determine the measurement point appropriately. Usually, an operator places an ultrasound probe in contact with the neck, finds a carotid artery to be measured while observing a B-mode image displayed on a monitor, and manually sets the...
