Automatic pneumothorax detection system based on ultrasonic strain imaging

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic pneumothorax detection system based on ultrasonic strain imaging. The automatic pneumothorax detection system comprises an image input module, an automatic pneumothorax detection module, a data transmission module and a display terminal module. The image input module comprises an ultrasonic probe, and the output end of the image input module is in one-way electric connection with the input end of the automatic pneumothorax detection module; the output end of the automatic pneumothorax detection module is in one-way electric connection with the input end of the data transmission module; the output end of the data transmission module is in one-way electric connection with the input end of the display terminal module. The automatic pneumothorax detection system based on ultrasonic strain imaging comprises a rapid pneumothorax ultrasonic detection algorithm based on strain calculation, can be integrated into handheld ultrasonic equipment, greatly enhances portability and flexibility, reduces the requirements of pneumothorax ultrasonic diagnosis on experience and skills of doctors, can be applied to more scenes, such as emergency treatment, ICU, first-aid sites, battlefields and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical devices, in particular to an automatic pneumothorax detection system based on ultrasonic strain imaging. Background technique [0002] Pneumothorax (pneumothorax) refers to the gas entering the pleural cavity, resulting in a state of pneumatosis, usually due to lung disease or external force, the lung tissue and visceral pleura rupture or the fine air bubbles near the lung surface rupture, resulting in the escape of air in the lungs and bronchi. into the pleural cavity. Those caused by trauma to the chest wall or lungs are called traumatic pneumothorax; those caused by spontaneous rupture of lung tissue due to disease are called spontaneous pneumothorax; artificially injecting air into the pleural cavity for treatment or diagnosis is called artificial pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can be divided into closed pneumothorax, open pneumothorax and tension pneumothorax. Spontaneous pneumothorax is more common in y...

Problems solved by technology

However, since the diagnosis of pneumothorax is mostly performed in the emergency department, emergency physicians often lack the basic knowledge and skills of ultrasound image interpretation, resulting in a low rate of ultrasound diagnosis of pneumothorax
