Automatic measurement method of anatomical structure and ultrasonic imaging system

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic measurement method of an anatomical structure and an ultrasonic imaging system. The automatic measurement method comprises an image acquisition step of acquiring an ultrasonic image, wherein the ultrasonic image is related to at least one anatomical structure of a biological tissue, the at least one anatomical structure has at least one measurement item; a measurement item obtaining step of obtaining a measurement item to be measured; an image identification step of identifying an identification image containing a measurement target corresponding to the to-be-measured measurement item from the ultrasonic image; and an automatic measurement step of measuring the measurement target in the recognition image. According to the to-be-measured measurement item to be measured, the ultrasonic image containing the measurement target corresponding to the to-be-measured measurement item is identified, and the measurement target in the ultrasonic image is automatically measured, so that the efficiency of measuring the anatomical structure is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically relates to an automatic measurement method of an anatomical structure and an ultrasonic imaging system. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound measurement is a common method to obtain the size of tissues or lesions. In order to improve the measurement effect, many ultrasound manufacturers have integrated automatic measurement algorithms. For example, for obstetric measurement, multiple manufacturers support head circumference, biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, The automatic measurement of common measurement items such as femur length has made a great contribution to the improvement of clinical examination efficiency. [0003] However, in ultrasonography, image comparison is often involved. In order to facilitate image comparison, multi-window mode is a commonly used image display method. In the multi-window mode, multiple ultrasound images (mainly dual...

[0004] However, during automatic measurement, the multi-window mode often causes a lot of trouble. When the user starts automatic measurement of a measurement item, the system does not know which window the user wants to measure. A general The method is to automatically measure the image of which window is the currently active window in the multi-window mode, which requires the user to scan an image and measure it immediately, otherwise the automatically measured image is not the image that the doctor wants

However, some doctors are accustomed to taking all the cut planes before performing unified measurements, which requires the user to switch windows to measure, which increases the number of operating steps
