Abstract

The invention provides a Labview-platform-based ultrasound endoscopic imaging system and method. The method comprises the following steps: transmitting acquired ultrasound image projection data to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) memory through a CPU; dividing the ultrasound image projection data into a plurality of projection data areas by the CPU, determining whether partial overlap of the adjacent projection data areas exists through the CPU, and transmitting the plurality of projection data areas to a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) memory; superimposeing pixel values of the partial overlapregions of the adjacent projection data regions through a GPU parallel kernel function, and reconstructing each projection data region; and synthesizing the reconstructed projection data regions to obtain a new image. According to the Labview-platform-based ultrasound endoscopic imaging system provided by the invention, a general-purpose computer platform and a general-purpose GPU are utilized, aGPU-based CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is introduced into the ultrasound imaging system for signal processing and image projection, and the development of low-cost ultrasound endoscopicimaging system devices on general-purpose computers is realized with the help of a Labview platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic endoscopic image processing, in particular to an ultrasonic endoscopic imaging method based on a Labview platform. Background technique [0002] The principle of ultrasound imaging is that the probe of the instrument sends a beam of ultrasound into the human body, and performs linear, fan-shaped or other forms of scanning. When encountering the interface of two tissues with different acoustic impedances, the ultrasound is reflected back and received by the probe. Finally, after signal amplification and information processing, it is displayed on the screen to form a tomographic image of the human body, which is used for clinical diagnosis by ultrasonic imaging. The strength of ultrasonic echo is determined by the difference in acoustic impedance of the medium on both sides of the interface. Two kinds of tissues with very different acoustic impedances, the adjacent interface has a very high reflectivity, ...
