Ultrasonic transducer navigation system and ultrasonic imaging device

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging equipment, and particularly discloses an ultrasonic transducer navigation system including a mechanical arm, a machine vision deviceand a control device. An ultrasonic transducer is fixed at the end of the mechanical arm, and the machine vision device is used for collecting a three-dimensional image of an object to be inspected inan inspection area capable of being covered by the ultrasonic transducer at the end of the mechanical arm. The control device is electrically connected with the control end of the mechanical arm andthe ultrasonic transducer, the control device guides the mechanical arm to move to a target inspection part according to the target inspection part and a three-dimensional diagram of the object to beinspected collected by the machine vision device and controls the ultrasonic transducer to perform scanning imaging on the target inspection part. For example, during a breast examination, an ultrasonic transducer module is moved through a supporting arm to a patient's breast for scanning. The invention also provides an ultrasonic imaging device including the navigation system. According to the ultrasonic transducer navigation system and the ultrasonic imaging device, full automatic scanning imaging can be performed on the target inspection part, and the automation degree is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic transducer navigation system and ultrasonic imaging equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, when medical staff perform ultrasound imaging diagnosis on patients, the medical staff will hold the transducer with one hand, then place it on the part to be examined for scanning and imaging, and control it on the ultrasound host with the other hand, which is very inconvenient. At present, there are still some devices that fix the ultrasonic transducer on a support arm, and then manually move the medical staff to the examination site for examination. For example, during breast examination, the medical staff will move the transducer module to the patient through the support arm. However, this method still requires medical staff to manually control the transducer to reach the inspection site for inspection. [0003] Therefore, after the medi...
