Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic contrast method and device and a storage medium. The method comprises the steps: obtaining a plurality of multi-pulse signals which are ultrasonic echo signals passing through a target region containing an ultrasonic contrast agent, and enabling every two adjacent multi-pulse signals to be spaced by one pulse repetition period; carrying out subtraction processing on the multiple multi-pulse signals to eliminate noise signals in the multi-pulse signals to obtain processed signals; and generating an ultrasound contrast image by using the processed signals, wherein in a pulse repetition period, the harmonic noise generated by the tissue background and the ultrasonic system is basically unchanged, the change is mainly concentrated on the ultrasonic contrast agent, the inhibition of the harmonic noise of the tissue background and / or the ultrasonic system can be better completed through subtraction, and the effect of ultrasonic contrast imaging is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of contrast-enhanced ultrasound, in particular to a method, device and storage medium of contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Background technique [0002] In contrast-enhanced ultrasound (Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound, abbreviated as CEUS) imaging, multi-pulse technology has been used to improve contrast medium tissue ratio (Contrast-To-Tissue ratio, abbreviated as CTR). CTR is usually limited by the harmonic signals of body tissues generated during ultrasound propagation and the harmonic leakage of the ultrasound system. Since tissues and ultrasound systems are usually basically stable, the corresponding harmonic signals generated by them usually show In order to stabilize the background noise, many small signals from the ultrasound contrast agent (Ultrasound Contrast Agent, referred to as UCA) in CEUS imaging are covered up. It is critical to reduce this background noise so that the weak signal from the ...
