A device and method for adaptively adjusting the position of an ultrasonic probe

Abstract

The present invention proposes an ultrasonic detection device for adaptively adjusting the position of the ultrasonic probe, which judges the specific position of the current ultrasonic probe against the human body according to the current ultrasonic cross-sectional image, estimates the position that needs to be moved, and finally drives the mechanical moving device to drive the ultrasonic The position of the probe is corrected, and then the position is corrected and moved step by step until the ultrasonic probe moves to the region of interest. The present invention does not depend on the technique and experience of the operator at all. It uses machine learning to recognize the ultrasonic tomographic image of the human body, judges the position and angle of the ultrasonic probe, and then guides the ultrasonic probe to move to the designated position. This solution can greatly reduce the operation The labor intensity of personnel can be effectively guaranteed, and the image quality of ultrasound can be effectively guaranteed, and it can be widely promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic detection, in particular to a device and method for adaptively adjusting the position of an ultrasonic probe. Background technique [0002] As a conventional tomographic imaging technology, medical ultrasound detection can reflect the tomographic images of human tissue to clinical personnel for diagnosis and judgment of the patient's health status. During the detection process, the ultrasound operator generally places the ultrasound probe on the corresponding part of the human body based on experience, and then finely adjusts the angle of the probe by observing the ultrasound scan image displayed on the display screen, and then obtains the ultrasound image of the region of interest. Finally, the images were intercepted and printed as clinical evaluation materials. Such examinations have been widely popularized at present. As a diagnostic method without ionizing radiation, ultrasonic testing is...

Problems solved by technology

However, the current methods of fetal ultrasound screening all rely on the operators of the ultrasound department. In all tests, these operators need to hold the ultrasound probe to find the corresponding position of the fetus, identify the image area and adjust the position of the probe. The inspection takes about 20 minutes. At present, there are some ultrasonic mobile imaging devices based on remote diagnosis, such as the patent document with the publication number of CN102892375A, but it still relies on human experience for detection, and experienced operators need to be on the remote side. Control is essentially a continuation of manpower

Under the current situation of eugenics and postnatal care, everyone is particularly concerned about the health of the fetus, so the number of pregnant women undergoing examinations is large, which seriously increases the labor intensity of the operating doctor, and it takes a long time and effort to train a qualified ultrasound operating doctor. It is impossible to provide a large number of operating doctors in a short period of time to cope with such a dilemma. Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely solely on manpower to conduct a large-scale maternal and child ultrasound health screening. The current ultrasound examination relies on manpower examination and cannot cope with the growing The status of inspection requirements
