Embodiment Construction
[0012] Certain embodiments can be found in a method and system for analyzing an ultrasound scene to provide needle guidance and warnings. Various embodiments have the technical effect of dynamically identifying and highlighting biological structures (eg, nerves and blood vessels) and / or artificial structures (eg, needles and anesthetic media) in ultrasound images. Aspects of the present disclosure have the ability to provide needle guidance (e.g., traces superimposed on the image), location-based warnings (e.g., audio warnings) based on the location of biological and / or artificial structures identified and highlighted in the ultrasound image. , visual and / or physical warnings) and / or other information (e.g., the percentage of the nerve covered by anesthetic medium).
[0013] The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of certain embodiments, are better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. To the extent that the figures i...

The invention relates to a method and system for analyzing an ultrasound scene to provide needle guidance and warnings. A system and method for analyzing ultrasound scenes to provide needle guidance and warnings is provided. The method includes acquiring, by an ultrasound system, an ultrasound image. The method includes segmenting, by at least one processor, the ultrasound image to identify a plurality of structures in the ultrasound image. The method includes highlighting, by the at least one processor, the plurality of structures in the ultrasound image to create a highlighted ultrasound image. The method includes presenting, by the at least one processor, the highlighted ultrasound image at a display system. The method includes determining, by the at least one processor, a distance between at least two of the plurality of structures in the ultrasound image. The method includes providing, by the at least one processor, a warning if the distance between the at least two of the plurality of structures in the ultrasound image is less than a threshold.
Description
technical field [0001] Certain embodiments relate to ultrasound imaging. More specifically, certain embodiments relate to a method and system for providing ultrasound scene analysis for needle guidance and warning. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging is a medical imaging technique used to image organs and soft tissues in the human body. Ultrasound imaging uses real-time, non-invasive, high-frequency sound waves to produce a series of two-dimensional (2D) images and / or three-dimensional (3D) images. [0003] During an ultrasound-based regional anesthesia procedure, an anesthesiologist can operate the ultrasound system and the insertion and navigation of the needle to its destination so that an appropriate amount of anesthetic medium can be administered to the destination (eg, a designated nerve). Thus, the anesthesiologist can visually focus on the ultrasound system display and the patient simultaneously so that the anesthesiologist can track the target (eg, ne...
