Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a medical device and a signal processing method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] When the human body (including other animal bodies) moves, it will generate muscle electricity under the command of the brain, hereinafter referred to as electromyography. Electromyography drives the human body to move. Electrocardiography is also a kind of electromyography, which makes the heart beat.
[0003] Existing technology can effectively monitor the generation of myoelectricity and the amount of electricity. The intensity of the myoelectric signal is recorded. For example, an electrocardiogram can tell the waveform of the electrocardiogram.
[0004] At the same time, through ultrasound images, we can also know the shape and position of human muscles. When the body moves, it also produces sounds, such as the sound of bones touching each other, the sound of heart beating, etc. And when the human body moves, the above-mentioned myoelectricity generation, muscle shape changes, and sound generation are all produced in coordination and in response. For example, when the heart beats, electrocardiograms are generated first, which drives the heart to beat, and then the heart collides to produce sound (heartbeat sound).
[0005] Existing medical equipment can monitor electromyography, morphological images, and sounds separately, but there is currently no technology to monitor all three at the same time. For example, existing equipment can use morphological images to assist in the analysis of ejection fraction.
[0006] Ejection fraction refers to the percentage of the ventricular end-diastolic volume (i.e. cardiac preload), with a normal value of 50-70%. It can be checked by cardiac ultrasound and is one of the important indicators for determining the type of heart failure. Ventricular ejection fraction refers to the percentage of the ventricular end-diastolic volume (i.e. cardiac preload), with a normal value of 50-70%. It can be checked by cardiac ultrasound and is one of the important indicators for determining the type of heart failure.
[0007] Ejection fraction is a volume ratio indicator that reflects the ventricular ejection function from a volume perspective.
[0008] However, since only image information is provided to medical personnel, the above-mentioned ejection fraction analysis requires medical personnel to obtain the ejection fraction through image information, then measure by marking their own hand movements on the image, and then calculate, which is not convenient for quickly providing medical solutions.
[0009] Therefore, in order to quickly obtain relevant information about the human body's status, to better assist medical personnel, and to ensure the accuracy of medical equipment's monitoring of the human body, it is necessary for us to make full use of the electromyography, morphological images, and sound information generated and monitored during human movement. Summary of the invention

[0015] S2: After the signal processing time required is the maximum time, it is immediately displayed;
[0016] The remaining signals will be displayed immediately after processing is completed and the comparison time has passed.

[0021] In the M ultrasound image, at a time point after a first specific time period after one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave in the electrocardiogram QRS wave is generated, a first longitudinal pixel column of the M ultrasound image is obtained, and a minimum value of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium is found in the first longitudinal pixel column;
[0022] In the M ultrasound image, at a time point after a second specific time period after one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave in the electrocardiogram QRS wave is generated, a second longitudinal pixel column of the M ultrasound image is obtained, and the maximum value of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium is found in the second longitudinal pixel column;
[0023] The cardiac ejection fraction is calculated using the minimum and maximum values.
[0024] The method for obtaining cardiac ejection fraction by using multi-dynamic parameter processing as described above is further described as follows: the alignment to the same starting time point is specifically, using the method described in any one of claims 1 to 4 above, to synchronously display the collected ultrasound signal and electromyographic signal on a display device; making the display time difference of the ultrasound signal and electromyographic signal projected on the display device in real time equal to the acquisition time difference of the collected signal.
[0025] The method for obtaining cardiac ejection fraction by using multi-dynamic parameter processing as described above is further described as follows: the electrocardiogram QRS wave and the M ultrasound image are collected by a device having the function of collecting both the electrocardiogram QRS wave and the M ultrasound image;

[0028] The time difference between the time when one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave appears and the time when the maximum value appears is calculated to obtain the second specific time length.
[0029] The method for obtaining the cardiac ejection fraction by using the multi-dynamic parameter processing as described above is further described as follows: after obtaining the minimum and maximum values of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium, the cardiac ejection fraction is calculated by the following calculation formula EF=(EDV-ES)*100%, wherein EF is the cardiac ejection fraction, EDV is the maximum volume of the left ventricle when the distance between the anterior and posterior wall endocardium of the left ventricle is the maximum, and ES is the minimum volume of the left ventricle when the distance between the anterior and posterior wall endocardium of the left ventricle is the minimum;

[0070] During the implementation process, the front end of the stethoscope body is pressed against the patient's lung and heart parts that need to be auscultated, so that the single-element ultrasonic probe, electrocardiogram sensor and respiratory rate sensor on the front end of the stethoscope body are in contact with the surface of the auscultation part, and the main control chip sends electrical signals for detection to the single-element probe, electrocardiogram sensor and respiratory rate sensor respectively, and the single-element probe, electrocardiogram sensor and respiratory rate sensor detect the body parts and send back the detection data to the main control chip, and the main control chip processes the detection data sent back by the single-element probe, electrocardiogram sensor and respiratory rate sensor respectively to obtain the values of ejection fraction LVEF, heart rate ECG and respiratory rate RR in real time, and convert the continuously obtained specific values into curves.

The flash memory chip FLASH stores all the values and curves generated by the main control chip. The main control chip can transmit the values and curves stored in the flash memory chip FLASH to the mobile client terminal for detailed viewing and analysis through the data transmission module, which can prevent the stethoscope body from losing detection data when the power module is accidentally powered off.
[0071] When using the device of CN209695222U, the respiratory rate sensor needs to be changed to the microphone 4 in Example 1 to realize the heartbeat sound collection function required by the present invention.

At the same time, the three collection heads collect the above information at the same time and at basically the same position (for example, at the heart of the left chest of the human body). Therefore, the collected information is real-time and is for the same body.

[0081] 4. An overcurrent protector is used to limit the current intensity provided to the digital power supply, the analog power supply and the adjustable high-voltage DC converter. The digital power supply, the analog power supply and the adjustable high-voltage DC converter are respectively connected to the USB interface circuit through the overcurrent protector.
[0082] The front end of the ultrasonic instrument housing is a coupling plane, and the digital control processing chip is provided with:
[0083] 1. A transmitting beam control module is used to control the transmitting and receiving switching circuit to open the transmitting circuit channel and close the receiving circuit channel, and to control the ultrasonic transducer to emit a scanning beam. The transmitting beam control module is connected to the transmitting circuit through a transmitting control bus.
[0084] 2. A receiving control module is used to detect whether there is an echo signal in the transmit-receive multiplexing circuit, and to control the transmit-receive switching circuit to open the receiving circuit channel and close the transmitting circuit channel. The transmit-receive switching circuit and the transmit-receive multiplexing circuit are respectively connected to the receiving control module through a receiving control bus.
[0085] 3. A data processing module, used for receiving and collecting echo signals, the data processing module is connected to the receiving circuit;
[0086] 4. An interface control module is used to control the alternating operation of the transmitting beam control module and the receiving control module, and to send the echo signal collected by the data processing module to the portable control terminal. The transmitting beam control module and the receiving control module are respectively connected to the interface control module, and the interface control module is connected to the portable control terminal through a USB interface circuit.
[0087] The digital control processing chip is an FPGA programmable digital gate array processing chip. The portable control terminal is a mobile phone terminal.
[0088] During the implementation process, the portable control terminal powers the ultrasound instrument through the USB interface circuit, the digital power supply can provide adaptive power for the digital control processing chip, the transmit-receive switching circuit, the transmit circuit and the transmit-receive multiplexing circuit, the analog power supply can provide adaptive power for the transmit-receive multiplexing circuit and the receive circuit, the adjustable high-voltage DC converter provides an adaptive high voltage for the transmit circuit, and both the digital power supply and the analog power supply are provided with a linear voltage regulator for protecting their voltage stability.

The low power module in the ultrasound apparatus can convert the electrical energy input by the portable control terminal into compatible electrical energy, thus meeting the miniaturization requirements of the ultrasound apparatus.
[0092] According to the needs of scanning, a command for scanning is sent to the ultrasound instrument through the portable control terminal. The convex array scanning is used to scan the abdomen of the human body, and the scanning is used to scan the superficial parts of the human body. The transmitting beam control module controls the transmitting and receiving switching circuit to open the transmitting circuit channel and close the receiving circuit channel through the transmitting circuit.

[0093] After the portable control terminal sends a scanning instruction to the ultrasound instrument, the transmitting beam control module controls the ultrasonic transducer to send a scanning beam, and the interface control module controls the transmitting beam control module and the receiving control module to operate alternately, so that the ultrasound instrument can realize the ultrasonic scanning function.
[0094] Example 4:
[0095] The method of obtaining cardiac ejection fraction using multi-dynamic parameter processing is as follows:
[0096] 1. Use the acquisition device provided in Examples 1, 2, and 3, which has both ultrasonic signal acquisition function and electromyographic signal acquisition function, to acquire ultrasonic signals and electromyographic signals from the same body, and synchronously display the acquired signals on a display device.
[0097] The same organism here refers to the human body or the human heart. Ultrasonic signal information is M-wave echocardiogram, and electromyographic information is electrocardiographic signal, which is shown in electrocardiographic QRS wave electrocardiogram. Since the beating of the heart is the contraction movement of the heart stimulated by electrocardiogram, therefore, one electrocardiographic information corresponds to one heart cycle beating, and therefore, the electrocardiographic signal and the heart cycle beating are synchronized. The corresponding synchronization here does not mean to be carried out at the same time, but to follow accordingly.
[0098] 2. The synchronous display described in step 1 above is as follows: the collected ECG QRS wave and the M ultrasound image of the heart morphological changes that occur synchronously with the ECG are distributed on the same time axis and aligned to the same starting time point. The collected ultrasound signal and electromyographic signal are synchronously displayed on the display device; the display time difference of the ultrasound signal and electromyographic signal projected on the display device in real time is equal to the acquisition time difference of the collected signal.
[0099] The details are as follows: Since the acquisition device is a collection device with both ultrasonic signal acquisition function and electromyographic signal acquisition function on the same body, and is displayed on the same display device (display), the acquisition part of the acquisition device (reference Figure 1 For example, a single-element ultrasonic probe 2, a microphone 4, and an ECG sensor / ECG electrode 3) obtain the above-mentioned signal. Since the human heartbeat is stimulated by the ECG, within a heartbeat cycle (from the early stage of cardiac contraction to the end of cardiac diastole), an ECG signal is generated first, and then the heart morphology changes. Therefore, there is a time difference between the ECG signal collected by the collection part of the collection device and the heart morphology change (because there is ECG first, and then there is heartbeat / heart morphology change). This time difference must be accurately reflected on the display device. Therefore, this time difference must be calculated by a method and reflected accordingly, so that the display time difference of the ultrasonic signal and the electromyographic signal projected on the display device in real time is equal to the collection time difference of the collected signal.
[0100] 3. In the M ultrasound image, at a time point after a first specific time after one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave in the electrocardiogram QRS wave is generated, the first longitudinal pixel column of the M ultrasound image is obtained, and the minimum value of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium is found in the first longitudinal pixel column. In the M ultrasound image, at a time point after a second specific time after one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave in the electrocardiogram QRS wave is generated, the first longitudinal pixel column of the M ultrasound image is obtained, and the maximum value of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium is found in the second longitudinal pixel column.
[0101] The calculation method of the first specific duration and the second specific duration is as follows: analyze a number of binarized M ultrasound images, mark the time when the minimum value of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium appears, and calculate the time difference between the time when one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave appears and the time when the minimum value appears, and obtain the first specific duration; and calculate the time difference between the time when one of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave appears and the time when the maximum value appears, and obtain the second specific duration. Here, it should be taken into account that different organisms may have different ECG cycles, and that each wavelength is slightly different within a cycle. ECG has a QRS wave group, which is composed of Q wave, R wave, and S wave. For example, the heart condition of a certain organism is as follows: when the ECG R wave occurs, after the first specific duration of 0.40s, the heart enters the end of the systolic period and reaches the minimum volume, which is the rapid ejection period; after the R wave occurs and after the second specific duration of 0.80s, the heart enters the end of the diastolic period and reaches the maximum volume. Here, the time of occurrence of the R wave is used as the starting point, because the characteristic point of the R wave is the most obvious, that is, the peak value is the largest and is the easiest to identify. Of course, other Q waves, S waves, T waves, and P waves can also be used as the starting point of time. These peaks are all in one heartbeat cycle, and each heartbeat cycle has these waves. Therefore, it does not matter which peak is used as the starting point. When the R wave is used as the starting point: after the first specific time of 0.40s, the heart enters the end of the systolic period and reaches the minimum volume; and after the second specific time of 0.80s, the heart enters the end of the diastolic period and reaches the maximum volume; when the Q wave is used as the starting point: after the Q wave occurs, after the first specific time of 0.36s, the heart enters the end of the systolic period and reaches the minimum volume; and after the second specific time of 0.76s, the heart enters the end of the diastolic period and reaches the maximum volume. The images of the minimum volume and the maximum volume will be captured by ultrasound to produce an M-type echocardiogram.
[0102] Through the minimum and maximum values, the following calculation formula is used:
[0103] EF=(EDV-ES)*100%Calculate the cardiac ejection fraction, where EF is the cardiac ejection fraction, EDV is the maximum volume of the left ventricle when the distance between the anterior and posterior endocardium of the left ventricle is the maximum; ES is the minimum volume of the left ventricle when the distance between the anterior and posterior endocardium of the left ventricle is the minimum;
[0104] Among them, the maximum volume of the left ventricle of the heart is calculated by the minimum distance between the anterior and posterior endocardium of the left ventricle of the heart; the maximum volume of the left ventricle of the heart is calculated by the maximum distance between the anterior and posterior endocardium of the left ventricle of the heart.
[0105] The M ultrasonic image of the present invention: The M ultrasonic image is an image composed of a number of dense pixel points. These pixel points are arranged in a matrix and divided into horizontal pixel rows parallel to the time axis and vertical pixel rows perpendicular to the time axis. The first vertical pixel column and the first vertical pixel column are both one of many vertical pixel columns.
[0106] On this basis, in order to find the minimum and maximum values of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium in a frame of M ultrasound image, we can use the relationship between the ECG QRS complex time and the end of the heart's systole and the end of the heart's diastole.
[0107] When using this relationship, it is satisfied that: each signal is projected onto the display device in real time, and the time difference between each signal projected onto the display device is equal to the acquisition time difference of each signal; specifically, the ECG wave group corresponds to one frame M of ultrasound image, and the time difference between the ECG and ultrasound images projected onto the display device is equal to the acquisition time difference between the ECG signal and the ultrasound signal transmitted to the acquisition head. For example: the ECG R wave signal is generated from the body and is collected by the electromyography acquisition electrode in Example 1 at the 0th second, and when the R wave signal is generated from the body, the heart enters the end of the systolic period after the first specific time length of 0.40 seconds, that is, the single-element ultrasound probe collects the image of the heart entering the end of the systolic period in 0.40 seconds, so there is a 0.40s acquisition time difference between the time when the ultrasound image and the time when the R wave signal are collected, that is, the acquisition time difference is 0.40 seconds. It takes 0.5 seconds from the time the electromyography electrode collects the R wave signal to the time it is projected on the display, and it only takes 0.37 seconds from the time the single-element ultrasound probe collects the heart image to the time the image is projected on the display. If the ECG R wave signal and the ultrasound image signal are directly projected, the heart will enter the end of the systolic period 0.37 seconds after the R wave signal seen on the display is generated. Therefore, this time difference is wrong, and the actual time difference between the ECG and the image on the body must be reflected on the display to avoid calculation errors.
[0108] After processing the acquisition time difference and display time difference, we can strictly correspond the ECG QRS wave to the ultrasound image to find the heart entering the end of diastole (maximum volume, or maximum value). For example, after the R wave occurs for the first specific duration of 0.40, the corresponding column of pixels on the M ultrasound image (the first vertical pixel column) is the end of the heart's contraction period, reaching the minimum volume and minimum value. After the R wave occurs for the first specific duration of 0.80s, the corresponding column of pixels on the M ultrasound image (the second vertical pixel column) is the end of the heart's diastole, that is, the maximum volume and maximum value.
[0109] Example 5:
[0110] As mentioned in Example 4: reflect the actual time difference between the ECG and the image on the body on the display to avoid calculation errors. The method is as follows:
[0111] By using the acquisition device provided in Examples 1, 2, and 3, which has at least two of the three acquisition functions of ultrasound signal acquisition, electromyography signal acquisition, and audio signal acquisition, at least two of the ultrasound signal, electromyography signal, and audio signal are acquired from the same body, and the acquired signals are synchronously displayed on a display device.
[0112] The display device is provided with a duration axis and a real-time state axis. The time axis referred to in the present invention is a horizontal axis projected onto the display device; the real-time state axis can also be called a change state axis, which is a vertical axis projected onto the display device. The time axis and the change state axis are reflected on the display device, and the relationship between the change state of the signal and time can be seen.
[0113] The synchronization display here means that each signal is projected onto the display device in real time, and the time difference between each signal projected onto the display device is equal to the acquisition time difference of each signal.
[0114] Since at least one of the collected ultrasonic signals, electromyographic signals, and audio signals is affected by the processing circuit, causing the display time to lag behind the other signals; therefore, the time when the signal affected by the processing circuit is put on the display device lags behind the other signals. Specifically, the circuit reasons of various electronic components and the reasons why the software processes the collected information cause a time difference between signal collection and signal presentation, and different information sources have different time differences. For example, the sound of the heartbeat can be processed very quickly through the circuit and software, and the ultrasonic image can also be faster, but the electrocardiogram signal is relatively slow from collection to presentation, about 0.125S slower. Therefore, in order to make the presented information consistent, the presented information needs to be adjusted. This is the so-called "synchronization".
[0115] The delay time caused by the same circuit and the same software for signal processing is consistent, so we can calculate the delay time of electrical signal processing according to the characteristics of the circuit and software. It is better to test the software and circuit in practice to get the time required for the software and circuit to process the signal. We record this time. The ultrasonic signal, heartbeat sound signal and ECG signal have the same processing steps and different processing times. We record the processing time required for the ultrasonic signal, heartbeat sound, signal and ECG signal, and get the longest time required for ECG signal processing. Therefore, when we present the three signals, after the processing of the heartbeat sound ultrasound signal is completed, we do not present it immediately, but wait for the ECG signal to be processed. The waiting time is the delay difference between the ECG signal recorded in advance and the other two (ultrasound signal, sound signal). After the sound signal and ultrasound image signal are processed, wait for the above delay difference, and then the sound signal and ultrasound signal can be presented; at the same time, the ECG signal is also processed and presented immediately; so that the presented ultrasound signal, ECG signal and sound signal are synchronized and aligned in time (i.e., acquisition state).
[0116] The specific method of synchronous display is as follows: Figure 6 :
[0117] S1: First obtain the time required for processing the ultrasonic signal, the electromyographic signal, and the audio signal, for example: the processing time of the ultrasonic signal is 0.5s, the electromyographic signal is 0.625s, and the audio signal is 0.5s; the maximum time is 0.625s for the electromyographic signal, and then the processing time of the remaining signals is compared with the maximum time, and the audio signal (or ultrasonic) 0.5s is subtracted from the maximum time 0.625 to obtain a comparison time of 0.125s; the time required for processing is the time required from the acquisition time of the signal to the time the signal is displayed on the display device, for example: the ECG R wave signal is generated from the body, is collected by the electromyographic acquisition electrode in Example 1 at the 0th second, and it takes 0.625s to be projected on the display.
[0118] S2: After the signal that takes the maximum processing time is processed, it is displayed immediately; after the processing of the remaining signals is completed and the comparison time has passed, they are displayed immediately. That is to say, after the ECG signal is processed, it is immediately displayed on the display, and the delay to the display is 0.625s. After the processing of the remaining signals is completed and the comparison time has passed 0.125s, they are immediately displayed, and the delay to the display is 0.625s. Therefore, the time difference (delay) to the display is equal. The time difference between the ECG and the image seen on the display is completed to be the real time difference.
[0119] The ultrasonic signal is a cardiac M-ultrasound image signal; the electromyographic signal is an electrocardiographic QRS wave signal; and the audio signal is a heart sound.
[0120] Example 6:
[0121] The method for calculating the minimum volume and the maximum volume of the heart through image pixels required in Example 4 can be referred to the following example.
[0122] When analyzing cardiac ejection fraction, it is necessary to know the minimum volume of the heart when the heart contracts and the maximum volume of the heart when the heart expands.
[0123] When using the device software for automatic recognition, since the device software cannot accurately identify the maximum and minimum volumes of the heart through ultrasound images, we inject the heartbeat sound and ECG waveform into the device software. After the device software obtains the ECG waveform (and heartbeat sound), it matches the continuously changing ECG waveform to the corresponding continuously changing ultrasound image to find the most appropriate cross-sectional shape of the distance between the front and back walls of the heart. For example:
[0124] At 0.04 seconds after the R wave of the electrocardiogram, it can correspond to the continuously changing ultrasound image. This section is the minimum value of the anterior and posterior walls of the left ventricle of the heart. That is, it can be clearly seen from the electrocardiogram that the minimum distance between the anterior and posterior walls of the heart must be in this section. Since this section has demarcated a very small range area, it is very easy to find the distance between the anterior and posterior walls in this very small range area through image recognition. There are many methods for image recognition: for example, the color block recognition method and device provided by CN201310125145.X disclosed in Chinese patent, by edge detection of the image to be recognized, extracting the contour of the color block in the image to be recognized to determine the shape of the color block, calculating the centroid coordinates of the color block according to the extracted contour of the color block to obtain the position of the color block, and selecting the color of a point in the color block to determine the color of the color block. Therefore, it can simultaneously recognize the shape, position and color of the color block, so that the information of the color block can be extracted more comprehensively. There are many methods for image recognition: for example, grayscale recognition.
[0125] There are many methods for image recognition, for example, some methods in a lung ultrasound image recognition method and system disclosed in Chinese patent CN202010409334.X can be adopted.
[0126] The normalized grayscale image is obtained by graying and normalizing the effective area image.
[0127] The following formula is used to grayscale the effective area image:
[0128] Gray=R*0.299+G*0.587+B*0.114, where R, G, and B are red, green, and blue components respectively.
[0129] The normalized grayscale images are scaled to a uniform size and form images to be recognized.
[0130] The normalized grayscale image is scaled to a uniform size, such as a 256*256 image to be tested. Preferably, bilinear interpolation, cubic spline interpolation, Lanczos interpolation or other methods are used for scaling.
[0131] By using the method of graphic recognition to find the minimum distance between the anterior and posterior walls of the left ventricle, we can get the volume of the heart when the heart contracts to the minimum. By using the same method to find the maximum distance between the anterior and posterior walls of the left ventricle, we can get the volume of the heart when the heart expands to the maximum. By substituting it into the ejection fraction analysis formula, we can get the ejection fraction.
[0132] Example 7:
[0133] The calculation method for calculating the minimum volume and the maximum volume of the heart through image pixels required in Examples 4 and 6 can refer to the following example.
[0134] 1. To calculate the minimum and maximum volumes of the heart, it is necessary to determine the border of the left ventricular septum and the border of the left ventricular posterior wall on echocardiography.
[0135] S1: Set the virtual centerline from the echocardiogram, which is approximately at the same distance from the upper border to the lower border;
[0136] From the virtual centerline, the echocardiograms were divided into: the upper echocardiogram with the image of the mitral valve and the endocardium of the left ventricular septum; and the lower echocardiogram with the endocardial border of the left ventricular posterior wall;
[0137] S2: The upper echocardiogram is processed to obtain the left ventricular septal border. The lower echocardiogram is processed to obtain the left ventricular posterior wall intima border.
[0138] 2. Among them, the method of processing the echocardiogram image to obtain the left ventricular septum boundary is:
[0139] S01: On an echocardiogram with images of the mitral valve and the left ventricular septum endothelium, determine the approximate extent of the adjacent areas of the left ventricular septum endothelium and the mitral valve by:
[0140] (1): On the echocardiogram, the continuous edge close to the mitral valve is used as the upper boundary of the echocardiogram, and the pixel row below the upper boundary and 30 pixels away from the upper boundary is set as the calculation starting line:
[0141] (2): At the calculation starting point line, go downward and count the percentage of black pixels in each pixel row parallel to the calculation starting point line;
[0142] (3): The first pixel row with at least 35% black pixels is the upper boundary of the approximate range;
[0143] (4): Obtain the lower edge of the approximate range as follows: (I) Continue to count the percentage of black pixels in each pixel row along the upper edge of the range of the mitral lobe pixel block domain downward. When the proportion of black pixels in the pixel row is the largest, the corresponding pixel row is the lower edge of the approximate range; (II) When multiple pixel rows are obtained that satisfy the above condition (I), the first pixel row that satisfies the above condition (I) and is closest to the upper edge of the range is the lower edge of the approximate range.
[0144] S02: Find the pixel block domain of the adjacent area of the left ventricular septum endothelium and the mitral valve within the approximate range, by searching row by row from the upper range line to the lower range line within the approximate range, and satisfying at least the following search conditions: (I) In the same column of pixels, the pixel grayscale value increases from the upper range line to the lower range line for at least ten pixels; (II) The first range found with the above (I) feature is the pixel block domain of the adjacent area of the left ventricular septum endothelium and the mitral valve. When the search conditions are met, within the found pixel block domain of the adjacent area of the left ventricular septum endothelium and the mitral valve, only one of the following situations is allowed, and this situation is regarded as a noise point: (I) The grayscale value of no more than 2 pixels stops increasing compared with the previous pixel; (II) The grayscale value of 1 pixel decreases compared with the previous pixel.
[0145] S03: setting the grayscale value of the pixel block domain in the adjacent area to 0;
[0146] S04: Binarizing the echocardiogram including the adjacent region whose grayscale value of the pixel block domain is set to 0, to obtain a binary echocardiogram in which the adjacent region and the mitral valve region are excluded from the left ventricular septum endocardium.
[0147] S05: Delineate a region of interest on the binary echocardiogram, the region of interest includes the entire left ventricular septum endocardial boundary image; calculation method of the region of interest: on the echocardiogram, the continuous edge close to the mitral valve side is the upper boundary of the echocardiogram, and the pixel row below the upper boundary and 30 pixels away from the upper boundary is set as the first boundary of the region of interest. Obtain the second boundary of the region of interest in the following manner: (I) Continue to count the percentage of black pixels in each pixel row downward from the first boundary of the region of interest, when the proportion of black pixels in the pixel row is the largest, the corresponding pixel row is the second boundary of the region of interest; (II) When multiple pixel rows are obtained that meet the above condition (I), the first pixel row that meets the above condition (I) closest to the first boundary of the region of interest is the second boundary of the region of interest.
[0148] The area between the first boundary of the region of interest and the second boundary of the region of interest is the region of interest.
[0149] S06: Perform morphological opening operation on the region of interest to make the binarized echocardiogram smoother; then perform edge detection to obtain the left ventricular septum endocardial boundary;
[0150] S07: Perform a closing operation on the obtained left ventricular septum endocardium boundary, and make the obtained left ventricular septum endocardium boundary a connected domain, that is, the final left ventricular septum endocardium boundary.
[0151] 3. Among them, the method of processing the echocardiogram below to obtain the left ventricular posterior wall intimal border is:
[0152] 1: Binarized ultrasound image; the continuous edge close to the mitral valve is calibrated as the upper boundary of the echocardiogram; the continuous edge on the opposite side of the upper boundary is the lower boundary of the echocardiogram;
[0153] On the echocardiogram, the distance between the upper boundary and the lower boundary is the virtual midline. Starting from the virtual midline and moving toward the lower boundary, the row position where the first white pixel appears in each column is counted in units of pixel columns.
[0154] 2: In the statistical data, if the row where the white pixel appears for the first time is more than 45 pixels away from the upper boundary, the column where it is located is the data error column;
[0155] 3: Use the following method to correct the data errors in the column:
[0156] (1) Merge adjacent columns with erroneous data into an error interval; (2) Set the row where the first white pixel point appears in the correct data column adjacent to the left side of the error interval as the first reference point, and set the row where the first white pixel point appears in the correct data column adjacent to the right side of the error interval as the second reference point; connect the first reference point and the second reference point with a straight line, and the straight line is the left ventricular posterior wall endocardial boundary of the error interval.
[0157] 4: Perform morphological opening operation to make the binarized echocardiogram smoother; then perform edge detection to obtain the intimal boundary of the left ventricular posterior wall.
[0158] 5: Perform a closing operation on the obtained left ventricular posterior wall intima boundary, and make the obtained left ventricular posterior wall intima boundary a connected domain, that is, the left ventricular posterior wall intima boundary.
[0159] After obtaining the minimum and maximum values of the distance between the left ventricular anterior wall endocardium and the left ventricular posterior wall endocardium, the cardiac ejection fraction is calculated by the following calculation formula: EF = (EDV-ES) * 100%, where EF is the cardiac ejection fraction, EDV is the maximum volume of the left ventricle when the distance between the anterior and posterior wall endocardium of the left ventricle is the maximum; ES is the minimum volume of the left ventricle when the distance between the anterior and posterior wall endocardium of the left ventricle is the minimum;
[0160] Among them, the maximum volume of the left ventricle of the heart is calculated by the minimum distance between the anterior and posterior endocardium of the left ventricle of the heart; the maximum volume of the left ventricle of the heart is calculated by the maximum distance between the anterior and posterior endocardium of the left ventricle of the heart.
