[0031] Such as figure 2 A flow chart of a method for enhancing an ultrasound image provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. See figure 2 , the method includes:

[0032] Step S110: Perform noise reduction and smoothing processing on the original ultrasound image based on a first preset algorithm to obtain a first ultrasound image.

[0033] Ultrasound imaging equipment is often affected by human tissue during the ultrasound imaging process, forming speckle noise. Therefore, it is necessary to process the original ultrasound image to suppress noise. Before processing the original ultrasonic image, the original ultrasonic image should be obtained first. Therefore, before step S110, the ultrasound image enhancement method further includes: acquiring the original ultrasound image.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, noise reduction and smoothing processing is first performed on the original ultrasonic image. To remove the noise in the ori...

Abstract

The invention provides an ultrasonic image enhancement method and apparatus, and relates to the technical field of image processing technology. The ultrasonic image enhancement method includes the steps: based on a first preset algorithm, performing denoising and smoothing processing on an original ultrasonic image to obtain a first ultrasonic image; based on a second preset algorithm, performingenhancement processing on the first ultrasonic image to obtain a second ultrasonic image; and fusing the first ultrasonic image with the second ultrasonic image to obtain the final enhancement image.The ultrasonic image enhancement method can realize inhibition of the noise in ultrasonic images and can improve the image quality at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to a method and device for enhancing an ultrasonic image. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging technology is an imaging technology that uses ultrasound to display two-dimensional or three-dimensional graphics of human organs. Medical gray-scale ultrasound images often have some intuitive noise, especially in the process of ultrasound imaging, the ultrasonic wave is easily affected by the properties of human tissue when it propagates. When the structural size of the human tissue is similar to or smaller than the wavelength of the incident ultrasound, the ultrasound beam will reflect and scatter, and the scattered echoes with different phases interfere with each other and the interference effect of the ultrasound echo, and granular noise will appear in the ultrasound image, namely speckle noise. Speckle noise degrades the quality of ultrasound images, ma...
