Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic method and system for evaluating the temperature change based on nonlinear thermal expansion, belongs to the field of ultrasonic detection, and aims to solve theproblem that the temperature rise of a target area cannot be effectively monitored in various methods for treating diseases based on in-vivo tissue heating at present. The invention discloses a methodfor evaluating the temperature change of biological tissues by utilizing B-ultrasonic original echo signals, and the method comprises the following steps of locally heating the biological tissues byusing the methods, such as focused ultrasound, radio frequency, microwaves, etc., imaging the target area by using B-type ultrasound, collecting the original echo signal of the target area, selectinga target frame by using a dynamic frame selection algorithm to suppress the living body noise based on a B-type ultrasound time sequence image, and calculating a time delay image when the ultrasound passes through the tissues; and obtaining a temperature change image according to a nonlinear model of the thermal expansion and the sound velocity. According to the method, the error does not exceed 3DEG C within the temperature rise range of 30 DEG C, the application of the B-ultrasonic temperature rise monitoring technology in thermal therapy is promoted, and the safety and effectiveness of thermal therapy can be remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of ultrasonic testing, more specifically, to an ultrasonic method and system for evaluating temperature changes based on nonlinear thermal expansion. Background technique [0002] In the clinical treatment of tumors, hyperthermia has attracted widespread attention and is considered to be a minimally invasive or non-invasive surgical method of great significance. During treatment, excessive temperature may cause damage to surrounding normal cells, resulting in serious side effects. However, if the temperature does not meet the clinical requirements, it may significantly reduce the curative effect, and even lead to treatment failure. Considering the safety and effectiveness of hyperthermia, it is necessary to monitor the temperature change process of biological tissues during the treatment process. [0003] Compared with other temperature imaging methods, ultrasonic temperature assessment is a promising temper...
