[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0039] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a medical imaging device 01 according to one embodiment. The medical imaging device 01 includes a touch screen module 11 and a controller 12. The touch screen module 11 is provided with multiple touch controls, and the touch screen module 11 and the controller 12 are touch-connected. The controller 12 is configured to touch and move the touch screen module 11 to trigger the functions associated with the touch controls on the touch screen module 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the medical imaging device 01 may be an ultrasound imaging device, or may be part of a medical imaging system. The medical imaging device 01 may include a touch screen module 11 and a controller 12. The touch screen module 11 in the medical imaging device 01 may be integrated with multiple touch controls. Optionally, the touch controls may be functional controls with different functions, which may be displayed to the user as visual graphics, allowing the user to touch different touch controls via the controller to achieve the corresponding desired functions. The touch controls may include mode selection controls, measurement controls, zoom controls, depth controls, focus controls, and the like.

[0041] It should be noted that the controller 12 can be moved by touching different touch controls on the touch screen module 11 to trigger corresponding functions, or to adjust and / or control parameters corresponding to the touch controls. The controller 12 can be a stylus, or a multi-function controller. A multi-function controller can perform more functions than a stylus, such as information display, gesture sensing, and the ability to adjust and disable various function parameters. In this embodiment, the controller 12 can also freeze the image, preventing it from dynamically changing.

[0042] The above-mentioned medical imaging device avoids the traditional technology of using a physical keyboard to control the functional controls on the touch control component to achieve interactive operations. It directly touches the touch screen module through a controller with touch function to trigger the relevant functions of the touch controls on the touch screen module, thereby realizing interactive operations between the medical imaging device and the user, thereby reducing the complexity of the interactive operations of the medical imaging device. At the same time, the medical imaging device is small in size, simple in design, easy to carry and easy to operate.

[0043] As one example, Figure 2 As shown, the touch screen module 11 in the above-mentioned medical imaging device 01 includes: a touch screen 111, a touch screen control circuit 112 and a first main control board 113; the touch screen 11 is connected to the touch screen control circuit 112, and the touch screen control circuit 112 is connected to the first main control board 113.

[0044] Among them, the touch screen 111 is used to detect the pressure value and capacitance value generated when the controller 12 touches the touch screen 111; the touch screen control circuit 112 is used to convert the pressure value and the capacitance value into a first digital signal; the first main control board 113 is used to adjust and control system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters and the medical image according to the first digital signal.

[0045] Specifically, the touch screen 111 in the touch screen module 11 can be understood as an inductive liquid crystal display that can receive input signals such as contacts, and the touch screen 111 can also be understood as a touch display. When the touch control displayed on the touch screen 111 is touched, the touch screen 111 can obtain the pressure value and capacitance value of the pressure being pressed, and at this time, the relevant functions of the medical imaging device 01 can be triggered; different touch controls can be displayed in a graphical visual form on the touch screen 111; different touch controls can be distributed in different positions of the touch screen 111. Optionally, the above-mentioned touch screen 111 can be a resistive touch screen, a capacitive inductive touch screen, an infrared touch screen or a surface acoustic wave touch screen, etc.; however, in this embodiment, the touch screen 111 has pressure sensing functions and conductive properties, so that the touch controls at different positions are affected, so that the touch screen module 11 can accurately identify the triggered related functions.

[0046] It should be noted that the touch screen control circuit 112 in the touch screen module 11 can receive the pressure value and capacitance value obtained by the touch screen 111, that is, receive the obtained analog signal, and convert the pressure value and capacitance value into a first digital signal. Optionally, the first digital signal can be understood as a function trigger signal after different touch controls on the touch screen 111 are triggered, and can be an encrypted digital signal.

[0047] It is also understood that the first main control board 113 in the touch screen module 11 can receive the first digital signal obtained by the touch screen control circuit 112 and adjust and control the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and medical images based on the first digital signal. In other words, in response to the first digital signal, the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and ultrasound images are adjusted and controlled, and the response results can be displayed on the touch screen 111. In this embodiment, the medical image can be an ultrasound image. Optionally, the system-related parameters can be system-related parameters of the medical imaging system, such as different mode parameters, imaging size parameters, imaging clarity parameters, etc.; the tissue-related parameters can be tissue-related parameters of different tissue sites in the human body, such as tissue morphology parameters, tissue lesion parameters, etc.; and the medical image can be the imaging result of scanning different tissue sites in the human body. Optionally, adjustment can be understood as the adjustment of parameters and image size, and control can be understood as the control of the adjustment status of parameters and image size.

[0048] The touch screen module in the above-mentioned medical imaging device detects the pressure value and capacitance value generated when the touch screen is touched by the touch screen controller through the touch screen. The touch screen control circuit converts the pressure value and capacitance value into a first digital signal, and adjusts and controls the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters and medical images according to the first digital signal through the first main control board to realize the interactive operation between the medical imaging device and the user, thereby reducing the complexity of the interactive operation of the medical imaging device.

[0049] As one example, see Figure 2 The touch screen 111 in the touch screen module 11 includes: a pressure sensing module 1111 and a mutual capacitance module 1112 ; the pressure sensing module 1111 and the mutual capacitance module 1112 are both connected to the touch screen control circuit 112 .

[0050] Specifically, the pressure sensing module 1111 in the touch screen 111 may be a semiconductor pressure sensor, a semiconductor piezoelectric impedance diffusion pressure sensor, an electrostatic capacitance pressure sensor, etc. When a touch control displayed on the touch screen 111 is touched, the pressure sensing module 1111 in the touch screen 111 may obtain the magnitude of the pressure applied.

[0051] It should be noted that the mutual capacitance module 1112 in the touch screen 111 can be a capacitive sensor. When the touch control displayed on the touch screen 111 is touched by the controller 12, the touch screen 111 and the controller 12 can form a coupling capacitor, and the mutual capacitance module 1112 in the touch screen 111 can obtain the capacitance value at this time. When the medical imaging device 01 is turned on and has not started working, the display area on the touch screen 111 omits the parameter adjustment area. The parameter adjustment area can only be displayed on the touch screen 111 when the parameters are adjusted and controlled. Optionally, the display area on the touch screen 111 may include a screen interaction area and a wireless communication area. The screen interaction area can display different touch controls. The controller 12 is placed in the screen interaction area and pressed to achieve the triggered state and the untriggered state of the touch control; the wireless communication area can display the communication status between the touch screen module 11 and the medical imaging system. The communication method can be Bluetooth, WiFi, 4G and 5G communication methods. In addition, the screen interaction area on the touch screen 111 can also display adjustment interfaces for system-related parameters and tissue-related parameters and corresponding thumbnail interfaces, as well as an adjustment interface for medical images and corresponding thumbnail interfaces. In this embodiment, multiple parameter adjustments can be completed on the same adjustment interface without turning pages.

[0052] In this embodiment, the screen interaction area of ​​the touch screen 111 can be divided into a system imaging mode selection area (area 1), an echo signal control area (area 2) and a signal transmission control area (area 3) according to different touch control functions. Figure 3 As shown, different system imaging modes are selected for different human tissue sites to be examined (e.g., thyroid, abdomen, liver, lung, heart, musculoskeletal system, kidney, etc.), and different system-related parameters and tissue-related parameters may need to be adjusted. The controller 12 triggers different touch controls on the touch screen 111 to adjust the system-related parameters and tissue-related parameters, thereby realizing the system function of the medical imaging system when examining different tissue sites.

[0053] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the controller 12 in the medical imaging device 01 includes: a controller body 121, a second main control board 122 and a wireless communication module 123; wherein, the second main control board 122 and the wireless communication module 123 are both arranged in the controller body 121, and the second main control board 122 is used to control the wireless communication module 123 to establish a communication connection with the medical imaging system.

[0054] It is understood that the controller body 121 in the controller 12 can be understood as a controller housing for supporting other modules in the controller 12. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on its material. Optionally, the second main control board 122 in the controller 12 can control the wireless communication module 123 to establish a communication connection with the medical imaging system.

[0055] Furthermore, the controller 12 further includes an adjustment knob or a touch button, which is disposed on the controller body 121 and is connected to the second main control board 122. The second main control board 122 is further configured to generate an adjustment control signal upon detecting that the adjustment knob or the touch button is triggered, and adjust and control system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and the medical image according to the adjustment control signal.

[0056] It is also understood that the controller 12 in the medical imaging device 01 may also include an adjustment knob or touch button. Optionally, the adjustment knob can be manually rotated 360 degrees; the adjustment knob can be a circular knob, a polygonal knob, a manual dial, or other types. The controller 12 can generate an adjustment control signal through the action of the adjustment knob. The touch screen 111 obtains the pressure value and capacitance value generated when the controller 12 touches the touch screen 111 based on the adjustment control signal. The touch screen control circuit 112 converts the pressure value and capacitance value into a first digital signal, so that the first main control board 113 can adjust and control the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and medical images based on the first digital signal. Optionally, the adjustment control signal can be understood as the adjustment knob adjusting and controlling the size of the system-related parameters and the size of the tissue-related parameters, as well as adjusting and controlling the medical image; the medical imaging device 01 can disable the adjustment and control processing operations through the adjustment knob. Optionally, the touch button can be a capacitive touch button; the touch button can be set below the controller 12, and the corresponding function can be achieved by simply pressing and touching the touch screen 111 for a certain period of time, which can be the same as the function achieved by the adjustment knob.

[0057] In addition, the controller 12 further includes: a sensor and / or a display; the sensor is used to sense the user's gesture information so that the second main control board 122 controls related functions according to the gesture information; the display is used to display related parameters of the controller 12.

[0058] In this embodiment, the controller 12 may include a sensor, which may be a gesture sensor, for sensing different user gestures, obtaining different gesture information, and using the different gesture information to adjust and control system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and the medical image. The controller 12 may also include a display, which may display relevant parameters of the controller 12, such as the power level of the controller 12, so that the user can check and charge the controller 12 in time to avoid insufficient power. When the power level of the controller 12 is low, the controller 12 may issue an alarm signal to remind the user to charge the controller in time; the alarm information may be output in the form of voice broadcast, flashing indicator light, etc.

[0059] For example, the controller 12 in the medical imaging device 01 can adjust system-related parameters, such as Figure 5 The figure shows the parameter adjustment interface displayed on the touch screen 111 in the medical imaging device 01. Placing the controller 12 in area 1 and pressing the controller 12 or rotating the controller 12 can switch the system imaging mode. The system imaging mode in this embodiment can be B mode, C mode, M mode, PW mode, CW mode, PDI mode and TDI mode, etc. Figure 5The black circle in the figure indicates that the controller 12 has selected the system imaging mode adjustment area. When the system imaging mode is selected, the preset function parameters corresponding to the system imaging mode will be displayed in area 2 and area 3. Figure 6 for Figure 3 Corresponding to the actual interactive interface diagram displayed on the touch screen 111, at this time, the controller 12 can be moved to the different preset function parameters to be adjusted, and the size of the preset function parameters can be determined by pressing the controller or rotating the button on the controller. Among them, the information displayed in area 1 is the various system imaging modes that can be selected; each time the system imaging mode is switched, the preset function parameters displayed in area 2 are the parameters that need to be adjusted; each time the system imaging mode is switched, the preset function parameters displayed in area 3 are the parameters that do not need to be adjusted, that is, the size of the parameters displayed in area 3 is unchanged by default each time the system imaging mode is switched, but the size of the parameters displayed in area 3 can be different in different system imaging modes.

[0060] In addition, if the controller 12 is placed on the medical image, the medical image can be adjusted and controlled by the controller 12 to obtain medical images of multiple regions of interest (i.e., medical images of small regions). In the screen interactive area of ​​the touch screen 111, these medical images can be moved to one or more positions to the right or left by the controller 12, and the medical image corresponding to the region of interest can be selected and the medical image of the region of interest can be directly zoomed in and out by the controller 12. Optionally, the medical images of multiple regions of interest can be displayed in the middle column of the thumbnail area on the right, such as Figure 3 、 5 , 6 are thumbnails in the middle column of the three columns of thumbnail images in the right thumbnail area. Optionally, for the medical images processed by the medical imaging system, the medical image of the region of interest can be captured by starting autonomous scrolling; at the same time, for the medical image of the region of interest, the medical image of the region of interest can be directly enlarged from the bottom or top of the touch screen 111 and displayed on the display device 02 by double-clicking or rotating the controller 12. For medical images of the region of interest that have little reference value, they can be directly deleted by dragging them to the left or right border of the touch screen 111 using the controller 12. If the controller 12 is placed on the thumbnail, the medical image of the region of interest can be controlled by the controller 12, that is, enlarged, deleted, and dragged to the image display on the touch screen or the display monitor.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the controller 12 moves on the touch screen 111, it may block part of the screen. In this case, a reduced image of the blocked part can be displayed in a specific area of ​​the screen, and the current operation of the controller 12 can be dynamically displayed synchronously, such as Figure 7When the controller 12 is placed at a certain position on the touch screen 111, the image at that position can be magnified at a specific position on the touch screen 111. When the controller 12 is placed in that area to operate the image, the image display area on the touch screen 111 can also display the current corresponding operation result image, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 In addition, when the controller 12 is placed in a specific area on the touch screen 111, the touch screen module 11 can automatically start the adjustment and control functions. When the controller 12 is away from the specific area or leaves the touch screen 111, the touch screen 111 can automatically sleep or turn off the adjustment and control functions.

[0062] The above-mentioned medical imaging device realizes interactive operation between the medical imaging device and the user by touching different touch controls displayed on the touch screen through the controller, thereby making the operation of the medical imaging device simple and convenient; the medical imaging device has higher flexibility in adjusting and controlling processing through the controller, and the touch controls displayed on the touch screen occupy a smaller display area; in addition, the medical imaging device can adjust multiple parameters that need to be adjusted on the same adjustment interface, without having to turn pages to adjust and confirm each parameter multiple times, which greatly reduces the user's workload.

[0063] like Figure 9 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a medical imaging system according to an embodiment. The medical imaging system includes: the medical imaging device 01 and a display device 02; the touch screen module 11 in the medical imaging device 01 is connected to the display device 02; and the controller 12 in the medical imaging device 01 and the display device 02 are both separately provided.

[0064] The position of the display device 02 is adjustable.

[0065] In this embodiment, the medical imaging system may be an ultrasound imaging system. In this medical imaging system, the touch screen module 11 included in the medical imaging device 01 is connected to the display device 02. Signal transmission between the touch screen module 11 and the display device 02 is achieved through an electrical or communication connection. The structural connection between the touch screen module 11 and the display device 02 may be a detachable connection. The controller 12 and the display device 02 in the medical imaging system are independently provided and are not structurally connected to each other. Optionally, the display device 02 may be located above the touch screen module 11.

[0066] It should be noted that the display device 02 in the medical imaging system can display the result of adjusting and controlling the medical image on the touch screen 111 in the touch screen module 11, and display relevant data of the medical image, that is, display an enlarged image of the thumbnail on the touch screen 111 and the corresponding data. The display device 02 can be a liquid crystal display. Optionally, the display device 02 can be set above the touch screen module 11 so that the user can directly observe the image and data displayed on the display device 02; the display device 02 can be raised, lowered, rotated, or otherwise movable; the display device 02 can also be mounted on a wall bracket, and the direction, height, and position of the display device 02 can be adjusted by adjusting the direction, height, and position of the wall bracket.

[0067] Also, see Figure 9 As shown, the medical imaging system further includes an ultrasonic probe 03, which is separated from the controller 12. That is, the controller 12 and the ultrasonic probe 03 in the medical imaging system are independently provided and are not structurally connected to each other.

[0068] It can be understood that the ultrasonic probe 03 in the medical imaging system may include a transducer array that transmits ultrasonic signals and receives echo signals. The transducer array may be a linear, convex array or other phased array; the ultrasonic probe 03 can use the piezoelectric effect to transmit ultrasonic signals outward according to the high-voltage pulse set by the medical imaging system, and receive corresponding echo signals; and it can scan different tissue parts of the human body in elevation and azimuth dimensions for medical imaging, which can be understood as ultrasonic imaging.

[0069] Furthermore, the medical imaging system further includes: a probe rack; the probe rack is connected to the touch screen module 11 , and the probe rack is used to hang the ultrasound probe 03 .

[0070] It is also understandable that, continue to see Figure 9 The shape and position of the probe holder can be arbitrarily set, as long as it can be used to hang the ultrasound probe 03. In this embodiment, the probe holder may include two support plates and an arc-shaped rod. The support plates are used to hang the ultrasound probe 03, and the arc-shaped rod is used to connect the two support plates. The two support plates can be installed on the left and right sides of the touch screen module 11 respectively. The distance between the two support plates can be greater than or equal to the length of the outer frame of the touch screen 111 in the touch screen module 11. The support plates may include multiple holes for hanging the ultrasound probe 03.

[0071] The above-mentioned medical imaging system includes a medical imaging device and a display device, avoiding the traditional technology of using a physical keyboard to control the functional controls on the touch control component to realize the interactive operation of the medical imaging system. The touch screen module is directly touched by a controller with a touch function to trigger the relevant functions of the touch controls on the touch screen module to realize the interactive operation between the medical imaging system and the user, thereby reducing the complexity of the interactive operation of the medical imaging system. At the same time, the medical imaging system is small in size, simple in design, easy to carry and easy to operate; in addition, the medical imaging system can adjust multiple parameters that need to be adjusted on the same adjustment interface, without having to turn pages to adjust and confirm each parameter multiple times, which greatly reduces the user's workload.

[0072] As one of the embodiments, the medical imaging system further includes: a movable base 04 and a processor; the movable base 04 and the processor are separately provided, and the movable base 04 and the touch screen module 11 in the medical imaging device 01 are detachably connected.

[0073] Specifically, the movable base 04 in the medical imaging system can be a movable cart that facilitates moving other modules in the medical imaging system from one location to another; casters or swivel wheels are installed on the bottom of the movable base 04; the movable base 04 and the touch screen module 11 in the medical imaging device 01 are structurally detachable. Optionally, the processor in the medical imaging system can include a probe interface for connecting to the ultrasound probe 03; the processor can receive and process echo signals to obtain medical images; the processor can communicate with both the medical imaging device 01 and the ultrasound probe 03, and the communication method can be wireless communication. In this embodiment, the processor can be placed inside the movable base 04. In addition, the processor and the ultrasound probe 03 can be connected wirelessly or by wire; the wired connection can be a detachable connection.

[0074] The medical imaging system includes a movable base and a processor. The movable base can move other modules in the medical imaging system from one location to another, thereby forming a movable medical imaging system that is easy to carry.

[0075] like Figure 10 FIG2 is a flow chart of a medical imaging method provided by an embodiment. The medical imaging method is implemented by the above-mentioned medical imaging system. The method includes the following steps:

[0076] S1000: Transmit a signal to a target tissue to obtain a medical image of the target tissue.

[0077] Specifically, the medical imaging system transmits an ultrasonic signal to the target tissue through an ultrasonic probe. The echo signal is then reflected by the surface of the target tissue. The ultrasonic probe receives the echo signal and converts it into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is then sent to a processor, which processes the electrical signal to obtain a medical image of the target tissue. Optionally, the target tissue can be different tissue parts of the human body, such as the thyroid, abdomen, liver, lungs, heart, musculoskeletal muscles, kidneys, etc. Optionally, the medical image can be an ultrasound image, which can reflect the differences in acoustic parameters in the medium and obtain information different from optical, X-ray, and Y-ray images, which is conducive to identifying subtle lesions in the target tissue.

[0078] S2000: Acquire an adjustment control signal generated when the controller triggers the touch screen module.

[0079] It should be noted that the medical imaging system can obtain the analog signal generated when the controller touches the touch screen module and convert the analog signal into a digital signal, that is, adjust the control signal. Optionally, the analog signal can be the pressure value and capacitance value generated when the controller touches the touch screen module.

[0080] S3000. Adjust and control system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and the medical image through the adjustment control signal to obtain a medical image of a region of interest; wherein the region of interest is located in the target tissue.

[0081] Specifically, the aforementioned adjustment control signal can be understood as a trigger signal for the controller to adjust and control system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and medical images. The controller in the medical imaging system can adjust and control the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters, and medical images by adjusting the control signal to obtain a partial image of the medical image, namely, a medical image of the region of interest.

[0082] It should be noted that the target tissue can be understood as the tissue region containing the lesion area, and the region of interest can be understood as the tissue region containing the lesion area; the area of ​​the target tissue region is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the region of interest. In this embodiment, adjustment can be understood as adjusting parameters and image size, and control can be understood as controlling the adjustment status of parameters and image size. In this embodiment, the medical imaging method mainly describes an ultrasound imaging process.

[0083] In the above-mentioned medical imaging method, the medical imaging system transmits a signal to the target tissue through the ultrasonic probe according to relevant presets to obtain a medical image of the target tissue, obtains the adjustment control signal generated when the controller triggers the touch screen module, and adjusts and controls the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters and medical images through the adjustment control signal to obtain a medical image of the area of ​​interest; this method can obtain the adjustment control signal generated when the controller triggers the touch screen module, and then realize the interactive operation of the medical imaging system through the adjustment control signal, so that the complexity of the interactive operation is relatively low; in addition, this method does not need to turn pages to adjust and confirm each parameter multiple times, and can complete the adjustment of multiple parameters on one adjustment interface, greatly reducing the user's workload.

[0084] As one embodiment, before the step of obtaining the adjustment control signal generated when the controller triggers the touch screen module in S2000, the method may further include the following steps: receiving a controller trigger instruction and responding to the controller trigger instruction, wherein the controller trigger instruction is used to instruct the controller to trigger different touch controls integrated in the touch screen module.

[0085] Specifically, the medical imaging system may receive a trigger instruction from the controller and then respond to the trigger instruction from the controller. Optionally, after receiving the trigger instruction from the controller, the touch screen module may obtain the generated pressure value and capacitance value and then convert the pressure value and capacitance value into an adjustment control signal.

[0086] Furthermore, the system-related parameters include preset functional parameters under different imaging modes selected by the medical imaging system, and the tissue-related parameters include preset imaging parameters of different human tissue parts corresponding to different imaging modes selected by the medical imaging system.

[0087] It should be noted that system-related parameters can be understood as preset functional parameters under different imaging modes selected by the medical imaging system. The preset functional parameters may include imaging size parameters, imaging clarity parameters, etc. Alternatively, tissue-related parameters can be understood as preset imaging parameters for different tissue parts of the human body corresponding to different imaging modes selected by the medical imaging system. The preset imaging parameters may include tissue morphology parameters, tissue lesion parameters, etc.

[0088] In the above-mentioned medical imaging method, the medical imaging system can receive a controller trigger instruction and respond to the controller trigger instruction to generate an adjustment control signal, and then adjust and control the system-related parameters, tissue-related parameters and medical images through the adjustment control signal to obtain a medical image of the area of ​​interest; this method can obtain the adjustment control signal through a simple operation process to realize the interactive operation of the medical imaging system, thereby greatly reducing the complexity of the interactive operation.
