Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical examination auxiliary equipment, and more particularly to an integrated semi-automatic ultrasound report editing auxiliary equipment and method. Background Art

[0002] At present, the ultrasound examination workflow requires first verifying the patient information and entering the patient's handheld barcode number into the ultrasound software system of the workstation computer for registration and preservation, and then editing the report, capturing images, and selecting images. After completion, the report will be uploaded to the local area network for other departments of the medical institution and patients to query and print.

[0003] Among them, the registration of examination information and the upload of reports require cumbersome operation of the workstation computer, and frequent and repeated clicking of several relatively fixed options, which is repetitive and inefficient. In addition, during the examination of the color ultrasound physician, the left hand controls the instrument panel and the right hand operates the ultrasound probe. It is impossible to quickly and accurately collect real-time ultrasound images to the ultrasound workstation without pausing the examination operation. In the past, it was necessary to instruct the doctor's assistant to operate the workstation computer keyboard (F10) to achieve this, but the doctor needs to instruct the assistant when to collect. During this period, there will be a delay in the transmission and execution of the instructions and the execution feedback is required. The doctor must stop the examination and freeze the image on the ultrasound diagnostic instrument display to wait. In addition, the doctor's assistant must also interrupt editing and recording to free up fingers to operate the F10 key on the keyboard. In recent years, there are USB simulated keyboard function keys, which are placed externally near the doctor's color ultrasound machine panel, but the doctor's eyes have to move away from the color ultrasound display to find the key. The doctor also needs to interrupt the operation of both hands to freeze the image and then press the key to collect, which will affect the continuity and efficiency of the examination and distract attention.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an integrated semi-automatic ultrasound report editing auxiliary device is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The embodiment of the present invention discloses an integrated semi-automatic ultrasound report editing auxiliary device, comprising: a USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1, a USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2, a keyboard and mouse simulator 3 and a high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4, wherein the USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1, the USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2, and the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 are all integrated on the high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4; more specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 can be plugged into one side of the high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4, or can be embedded in the high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4, and the USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1 is located on the upper surface of the high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4. It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is only an exemplary description of a positional relationship, and other achievable positional relationships are also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] The USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1 is used to scan any examination barcode and input the corresponding examination item outpatient number / application number / hospitalization number into the front-end area of ​​the workstation computer image data software according to the examination barcode, and the front-end area includes the front-end image storage area;

[0046] The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 is used to automatically register all the examination items of the examinee according to the above examination item outpatient number / application number / hospitalization number and save them to the front-end area of ​​the workstation computer image data software;

[0047] The USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2 is used to edit the ultrasound report item by item according to all the examination items, and collect ultrasound images by foot-operating and save the ultrasound images to the foreground area or the background area of ​​the workstation computer image data software; wherein, the collection of ultrasound images runs through the entire process of editing the ultrasound report, and ultrasound images are collected intermittently multiple times at irregular intervals during the editing of the report;

[0048] The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 is used to automatically select the images stored in the foreground area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software and upload the edited ultrasound report;

[0049] The high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4 is used to connect to the workstation computer host 5 to achieve communication with the workstation computer image data software.

[0050] The device can quickly enter the examination items of the examinee and register them into the workstation computer image data software with one click. At the same time, the examiner can quickly complete the image retention in the workstation through the foot switch during the examination, without waiting for the tedious login to the reporting system, without freezing the frame, without moving the field of view away from the screen, and the main operator does not need to move the operation panel or instrument buttons. At the same time, it can also quickly connect to instrument panel operations such as measurement or adjustment, so that the examination is smooth and efficient, and the ultrasound scan is coherent and clear. After the report editing is completed, it can be uploaded and submitted with one click, avoiding tedious clicks and switching of the workstation operation interface, and efficiently completing the report review and upload to avoid omissions and delays. It is especially suitable for high-intensity, large-volume, multi-site, multi-item, and personalized combined ultrasound examinations in physical examination centers, realizing one-click automatic registration and one-click automatic upload of reports, so that ultrasound physicians can focus on examination operations, data recording and report editing, greatly improving work efficiency and concentration.

[0051] Specifically, the USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1 scans any examination barcode of the examinee and outputs the examination item corresponding to the barcode in the position of the outpatient number / application number / hospitalization number in the software. Clicking the query in the image data software can display the list directory of the examination item.

[0052] The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 uses coordinate positioning and simulates mouse click operations based on the workstation computer monitor resolution (1920×1080) to achieve click execution and operation actions of various functions in the image data software. At the same time, the command input is completed by simulating the keyboard's designated name keys (such as CTRL C) or the mouse's press and pop-up actions. Each coordinate position and action (press and pop-up) and execution order are controlled by a custom editing script. The mouse coordinates, press / pop-up, keyboard key name, press / pop-up, and delay time after the action need to be clearly specified in the script for each action. The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 can execute all mouse and key actions in the script in sequence with one-click triggering. Specifically:

[0053] The following operations are automatically simulated through the designated buttons of the keyboard and mouse simulator 3: the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 can read the mouse cursor coordinates in real time, extract the coordinate values ​​of the target area according to the principle that the computer monitor resolution is the horizontal and vertical coordinate axes, position the mouse to the query button on the registration interface of the workstation computer imaging data software, and then simulate the left-click operation of the mouse. The workstation computer imaging data software outputs the corresponding inspection items in the list based on the digital numbers such as the inspection application number / outpatient number / inpatient number, and simulates the left-click instruction of the mouse on the coordinate position of the inspection item catalog bar in the workstation computer imaging data software, which can be opened in the software registration interface. The name of the examinee and other detailed information, where the name text can be copied by simulating Ctrl+C on the keyboard through the keyboard mouse simulator 3, and pasted by simulating Ctrl+V on the name coordinates in the patient query interface of the software, that is, the keyboard mouse simulator 3 positions the mouse to the query button according to the coordinate value of the query button on the registration interface of the workstation computer imaging software, and then double-clicks the left mouse button. The workstation computer imaging software outputs all the examination items of the patient in the list based on the name of the examinee, and then double-clicks the left mouse button on the coordinates of each examination item in the item list and moves the cursor to the save button and left-clicks the save button to complete the registration process.

[0054] It should be noted that the logic between examination items and outpatient number / application number / hospitalization number is one-to-one, while the patient's ID card / name and examination items is one-to-many. That is, when the doctor issues a check-up order, the name has been associated with all the patient's laboratory test items and has been stored in the medical software. They are divided into major categories such as laboratory tests, radiology, and color ultrasound, and permissions are set for each category. Each category can be searched separately and cannot be viewed across categories. Therefore, in each type of examination, all examination items in that major category can be found by name. For example, when the ultrasound imaging software searches for the name, all corresponding electrocardiogram and ultrasound imaging examination items will appear.

[0055] Select report template: After registering all the examination items of the examinee, use the designated keys of the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 to automatically simulate the following operation: In the report editing interface of the workstation computer imaging data software, move the cursor to the "Knowledge Base" in the left list (pre-stored in the knowledge base directory of the workstation computer imaging data software) to simulate a left click, and a report template list will pop up (the report template has a fixed position in the knowledge base directory). Move the cursor to the designated template to simulate a left click to complete the template import.

[0056] After the ultrasound image is acquired by the USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2, the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 automatically selects the image in the image storage area of ​​the image software report editing interface in the workstation computer image data software, checks the dialog box, clicks diagnosis, review, preview, synchronizes report content, and publishes the report, including (1) checking the image, (2) checking positive / negative or needing follow-up, (3) diagnosis button, (4) review button, (5) preview button, (6) synchronizing report content, (7) report publishing, and executes single-click instructions at the six button coordinates in sequence to complete the upload.

[0057] Furthermore, the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 also includes a background-to-foreground function. The background-to-foreground function automatically simulates the following operations by specifying a key in the keyboard and mouse simulator 3: simulate a left-click on the "background" button in the image area of ​​the workstation computer imaging software, right-click in the background image to pop up a dialog box, move the cursor to the background-to-foreground option item in the list and simulate a left-click to complete;

[0058] The working process of the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 is based on the single-chip microcomputer of the USB interface inside the simulator. In addition to receiving and saving the programmed key command stream, the single-chip microcomputer also loads the firmware of the keyboard and mouse before starting the simulation after receiving the command stream, and the hardware simulates the keyboard and mouse, and then outputs the data of the hardware keyboard and mouse to the workstation computer host 5 according to the programmed key command stream. The workstation computer host 5 regards the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 as three devices, one is a device for receiving and saving the programmed key command stream, and the other is a keyboard and a mouse device.

[0059] At the same time, the program corresponding to the above functions needs to be typed and stored in the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 in advance, for example, it can be:

[0060] Button number 1: Registration function - register and save all ultrasound examination items under the patient's name one by one to the patient list of the imaging software;

[0061] Button number 2: Background to foreground function, which transfers all images stored in the background image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging software to the foreground image storage area of ​​the currently opened inspection project.

[0062] Button number 3: Automatically select the report template function. When editing the report, click the report template stored in advance in the workstation computer imaging software knowledge base to generate a draft report for the current inspection item;

[0063] Button number 4: Publish and upload report function - automatically check the images saved in the front-end image storage area, automatically check positive / negative / need follow-up, click the interface buttons to diagnose, review, preview, synchronize report content, and publish the report, and upload and publish the report to the hospital's local area network.

[0064] The USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2 includes a first wireless USB foot switch 201, a USB wireless signal receiver 202, and a second wireless USB foot switch 203. The first wireless USB foot switch 201 and the second wireless USB foot switch 203 both wirelessly communicate with the USB wireless signal receiver 202. The USB wireless signal receiver 202 is integrated on a high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4, and then connected to a workstation computer host 5 through a computer USB interface; the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument is connected to the workstation computer host 5 through a data cable, and the color ultrasound display image is synchronized in the workstation imaging software.

[0065] When the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument acquires the color ultrasound image, the first wireless USB foot switch 201 and the second wireless USB foot switch 203 are placed under the doctor's feet, and when the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument displays the target color ultrasound image, they are used to send the first foot signal and the second foot signal correspondingly by foot pedaling;

[0066] The USB wireless signal receiver 202 is used to receive the first foot pedal signal or the second foot pedal signal. When the doctor finds that the organ in the ultrasound image is consistent with the inspection item in the current computer workstation editing interface when collecting color ultrasound images through the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument, the doctor steps on the first wireless USB foot switch 201. After receiving the first foot pedal signal, the USB wireless signal receiver 202 sends the keyboard F10 command (screen capture command) to the workstation computer host 5 for execution to complete the collection command. The workstation computer host 5 starts the collection card to collect the ultrasound image in the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument that needs to be captured, and saves it to the foreground image storage area of ​​the workstation computer image data software. When the doctor finds that the color ultrasound image does not match the current computer workstation editing interface inspection item when collecting the color ultrasound image through the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument, the doctor steps on the second wireless USB foot switch 203. When the USB wireless signal receiver 202 receives the second foot signal, it sends the keyboard F11 command (image storage background command) to the workstation computer host 5, and saves the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument display screen image to the background image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software. For example, if the carotid artery image needs to be stored in the thyroid report editing interface, the second wireless USB foot switch 203 is stepped on to execute the keyboard F11 background storage command. When the carotid artery image is needed, the background image is transferred to the foreground image storage area of ​​the current carotid artery inspection item by transferring the background to the foreground.

[0067] The image storage process of the imaging software of the present invention stores the real-time image of the color ultrasound display of the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument in the foreground image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software through the first wireless USB foot switch 201, and stores the real-time image of the color ultrasound display in the background image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software through the second wireless USB foot switch 203. The foreground image is used to edit the inspection project report currently opened by the imaging software, and the background image is used for other registered inspection project reports.

[0068] The embodiment of the present invention discloses an integrated semi-automatic ultrasound report editing method, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0069] Scan any examination barcode through the USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1 and input the corresponding outpatient number / application number / hospitalization number of the examination item according to the examination barcode and save it in the front-end area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software;

[0070] Through the keyboard and mouse simulator 3, all the examination items of the subject are automatically registered according to the outpatient number / application number / hospital number of the above-mentioned examination item and saved in the front-end area of ​​the workstation computer image data software;

[0071] Edit the ultrasound report item by item according to all the examination items, and collect ultrasound images by foot-operating through the USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2 and save the ultrasound images to the foreground area or the background area of ​​the workstation computer image data software;

[0072] The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 automatically selects the stored images in the foreground area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software and uploads the edited ultrasound report.

[0073] Specifically, the USB self-sensing barcode scanning module 1 scans any examination barcode of the examinee and outputs the digital number of the examination item corresponding to the barcode in the position of the software outpatient number / application number / hospitalization number. Clicking the query in the image data software can display the list directory of the examination item.

[0074] The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 uses coordinate positioning and simulates mouse click operations based on the workstation computer monitor resolution (1920×1080) to achieve click execution and operation actions of various functions in the image data software. At the same time, the command input is completed by simulating the keyboard's designated name keys (such as CTRL C) or the mouse's press and pop-up actions. Each coordinate position and action (press and pop-up) and execution order are controlled by a custom editing script. The mouse coordinates, press / pop-up, keyboard key name, press / pop-up, and delay time after the action need to be clearly specified in the script for each action. The keyboard and mouse simulator 3 can execute all mouse and key actions in the script in sequence with one-click triggering. Specifically:

[0075] The following operations can be automatically simulated through the designated buttons of the keyboard and mouse simulator 3: the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 can read the mouse cursor coordinates in real time through its own software, extract the coordinate values ​​of the target area according to the principle that the computer monitor resolution is the horizontal and vertical coordinate axes, position the mouse to the query button on the registration interface of the workstation computer imaging data software, and then simulate the left-click operation of the mouse. The workstation computer imaging data software outputs the corresponding inspection items in the list based on the digital numbers such as the inspection application number / outpatient number / inpatient number, and simulates the left-click instruction of the mouse on the coordinate position of the inspection item directory bar in the workstation computer imaging data software, which can open the inspection item in the software registration interface. The name and other detailed information can be copied by simulating Ctrl+C on the keyboard through the keyboard and mouse simulator 3, and pasted by simulating Ctrl+V on the coordinates of the name pane in the patient registration interface of the software. Then, the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 positions the mouse to the query button according to the coordinate value of the query button on the registration interface of the workstation computer imaging software, and then double-clicks the left mouse button. The workstation computer imaging software outputs all the examination item items of the patient in the list based on the name of the examinee, and then double-clicks the left mouse button on the coordinates of each examination item in the item list, moves the cursor to the save button position, and left-clicks the save button to complete the registration process.

[0076] It should be noted that the logic between the examination items and the barcode numbers is one-to-one, while the patient's ID card / name and the examination items are one-to-many. That is, when the doctor issues a examination form, the name has been associated with all the patient's laboratory examination items and has been stored in the medical software. They are divided into major categories such as laboratory tests, radiology, and color ultrasound, and permissions are set for each category. Each category can be searched separately and cannot be viewed across categories. Therefore, in each type of examination, all examination items in that major category will appear through the name. For example, when the ultrasound imaging software searches for the name, all corresponding electrocardiogram and ultrasound imaging examination item entries will appear.

[0077] Select report template: After registering all the examination items of the examinee, use the designated keys of the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 to automatically simulate the following operation: In the report editing interface of the workstation computer imaging data software, move the cursor to the "Knowledge Base" in the left list (pre-stored in the knowledge base directory of the workstation computer imaging data software) to simulate a left click, and a report template list will pop up (the report template has a fixed position in the knowledge base directory). Move the cursor to the designated template to simulate a left click to complete the template import.

[0078] After the ultrasound image is acquired by the USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2, the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 automatically selects the image in the image storage area of ​​the image software report editing interface in the workstation computer image data software, checks the dialog box, clicks diagnosis, review, preview, synchronizes report content, and publishes the report, including (1) checking the image, (2) checking positive / negative or follow-up required, (3) diagnosis button, (4) review button, (5) preview button, (6) synchronizes report content, (7) report publishing, and executes left-click commands at the six button coordinates in sequence to complete the upload.

[0079] Furthermore, the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 also includes a background-to-foreground function. The background-to-foreground function automatically simulates the following operations by specifying a key in the keyboard and mouse simulator 3: simulate a left-click on the "background" button in the image area of ​​the workstation computer imaging software, right-click in the background image to pop up a dialog box, move the cursor to the background-to-foreground option item in the list and simulate a left-click to complete;

[0080] The working process of the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 is based on the single-chip microcomputer of the USB interface inside the simulator. In addition to receiving and saving the programmed key command stream, the single-chip microcomputer also loads the firmware of the keyboard and mouse before starting the simulation after receiving the command stream, and the hardware simulates the keyboard and mouse, and then outputs the data of the hardware keyboard and mouse to the workstation computer host 5 according to the programmed key command stream. The workstation computer host 5 regards the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 as three devices, one is a device for receiving and saving the programmed key command stream, and the other is a keyboard and a mouse device.

[0081] At the same time, the program corresponding to the above functions needs to be typed and stored in the keyboard and mouse simulator 3 in advance, for example, it can be:

[0082] Button number 1: Registration function - register and save all ultrasound examination items under the patient's name one by one to the patient list of the imaging software;

[0083] Button number 2: Background to foreground function, which transfers all images stored in the background image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging software to the foreground image storage area of ​​the currently opened inspection project.

[0084] Button number 3: Automatically select the report template function. When editing the report, click the report template stored in advance in the workstation computer imaging software knowledge base to generate a draft report for the current inspection item;

[0085] Button number 4: Publish and upload report function - automatically check the images saved in the front-end image storage area, automatically check positive / negative / need follow-up, click the interface buttons to diagnose, review, preview, synchronize report content, and publish the report, and upload and publish the report to the hospital's local area network.

[0086] The USB wireless foot-operated image collector 2 includes a first wireless USB foot switch 201, a USB wireless signal receiver 202, and a second wireless USB foot switch 203. The first wireless USB foot switch 201 and the second wireless USB foot switch 203 both wirelessly communicate with the USB wireless signal receiver 202. The USB wireless signal receiver 202 is integrated on a high-speed multi-interface USB extender 4, and then connected to a workstation computer host 5 through a computer USB interface; the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument is connected to the workstation computer host 5 through a data cable, and the color ultrasound display image is synchronized in the workstation imaging software.

[0087] When the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument acquires the color ultrasound image, the first wireless USB foot switch 201 and the second wireless USB foot switch 203 are placed under the doctor's feet, and when the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument displays the target color ultrasound image, they are used to send the first foot signal and the second foot signal correspondingly by foot pedaling;

[0088] The USB wireless signal receiver 202 is used to receive the first foot pedal signal or the second foot pedal signal. When the doctor finds that the color ultrasound image is an inspection item in the current computer workstation editing interface after collecting the color ultrasound image through the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument, the doctor steps on the first wireless USB foot switch 201. After receiving the first foot pedal signal, the USB wireless signal receiver 202 sends the keyboard F10 command (screen capture command) to the workstation computer host 5 for execution. After completing the collection command, the workstation computer host 5 starts the collection card to collect the ultrasound image in the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument that is to be captured, and saves it to the foreground image storage area of ​​the workstation computer image data software. When the doctor finds that the color ultrasound image is not an examination item in the current computer workstation editing interface after collecting the color ultrasound image through the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument, the doctor steps on the second wireless USB foot switch 203. When the USB wireless signal receiver 202 receives the second foot signal, it sends the keyboard F11 command (image storage background command) to the workstation computer host 5, and saves the image on the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument display screen to the background image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software. For example, if the carotid artery image needs to be stored in the thyroid report editing interface, the second wireless USB foot switch 203 is stepped on to execute the keyboard F11 storage background command. When the carotid artery image is needed, the background image is transferred to the foreground image storage area of ​​the currently opened examination item by transferring the background to the foreground.

[0089] The image storage process of the imaging software of the present invention stores the real-time image of the color ultrasound display of the color ultrasound diagnostic instrument in the foreground image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software through the first wireless USB foot switch 201, and stores the real-time image of the color ultrasound display in the background image storage area of ​​the workstation computer imaging data software through the second wireless USB foot switch 203. The foreground image is used to edit the inspection project report currently opened by the imaging software, and the background image is used for other registered inspection project reports.
