Ultrasound image processing method using ultrasound image processing system

Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasonic elastic image generation and processing system and method, and the system comprises an ultrasonic image obtaining module which obtains an ultrasonic image of a living body tissue at a preset position through ultrasound; an ultrasonic elastic image generation module is in communication connection with the ultrasonic image acquisition module, and generates an ultrasonic elastic image for the ultrasonic image based on a USE-GAN image generation model; a display module is used for displaying the ultrasonic elastic image and the ultrasonic image; a manual checking module is used for pre-evaluating the elasticity score of the ultrasonic elastic image according to an algorithm program, and determining the elasticity score of the ultrasonic elastic image generated by the ultrasonic elastic image generation module under the condition of manual checking; and an output module is used for outputting the elasticity score of the ultrasonic elasticity image determined by the manual auditing module and a conclusion report which is determined manually and is related to the elasticity score. The system and the method can be used for auxiliary diagnosis when tissues and organs such as thyroid gland, liver, mammary gland, prostate and the like need to be subjected to ultrasonic elastography evaluation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to ultrasonic imaging and its processing, in particular, to an ultrasonic image processing method using an ultrasonic image processing system. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound elastography is the use of sound waves to measure the stiffness properties of tissue. Currently, there are two commonly used ultrasonic elastography methods in clinical practice: stress elastography and shear wave elastography. In stress elastography, a specific probe is used to apply a certain pressure on the tissue surface to cause deformation and displacement of the examined tissue, and then the deformation and displacement are measured by ultrasonic imaging, thereby indirectly reflecting the tissue hardness. In the shear wave elastography, the ultrasonic probe emits the pulse wave of acoustic radiation, which acts on the target tissue, and the target is deformed by the pulse wave of the acoustic radiation, and then forms a shear wave i...
