Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic plane wave composite imaging method based on deep learning, which comprises the following steps of: 1, constructing input sample data, including data acquisition and preprocessing, 2, constructing mapping from plane wave radio frequency data to an ultrasonic composite image, training a network, and adjusting network parameters, obtaining a planar wave signal, reconstructing an optimal model of a high-quality ultrasonic image; a neural network architecture based on U-Net is specifically adopted, and the whole network comprises a down-sampling module, a middle layer module, an up-sampling module and an output module; and 3, post-processing the image data. According to the method, the ultrasonic image which can only be generated by multiple times of plane wave synthesis is reconstructed from the plane wave signal obtained by single emission through the deep neural network, so that the complexity of obtaining the high-quality ultrasonic image can be reduced, and the frame frequency is improved to promote the development of deep learning ultrasonic imaging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image reconstruction of ultrasonic radio frequency data, and specifically relates to a method for reconstructing ultrasonic image of plane wave radio frequency data based on deep learning. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound imaging is a technical method widely used in clinical diagnosis, which has the advantages of high safety, low cost, and non-invasiveness to patients. Plane wave imaging excites all the apertures and emits plane waves from different angles. A set of plane wave echo data is obtained from each angle emission. According to this set of echo data, time-delay superposition is performed, and then envelope and logarithmic compression are performed to obtain an image. Ultrasound image.
