Description

[0002] After acquiring ultrasound video or ultrasound images in ultrasound equipment, the acquired ultrasound images are annotated and measured, and then an examination report is generated.

[0003] In ultrasound equipment, the examination target is clearly defined—that is, various parts of the human body. In traditional ultrasound examinations, the user selects the object to be examined and completes the positioning annotation. During subsequent annotation and measurement, annotation and measurement options for other objects are displayed. For example, if the user selects to annotate and measure the liver, fetal-related annotation options will appear during annotation, and pediatric hip joint measurement options will appear during measurement. The user needs to select the current annotation and measurement item from all the available options, resulting in low annotation and measurement efficiency.

[0067] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0068] This application discloses a labeling measurement method based on ultrasonic equipment, which improves the efficiency of labeling measurement in ultrasonic equipment.

[0069] See Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a labeling measurement method based on an ultrasonic device according to an exemplary embodiment is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0070] S101: After acquiring the target ultrasound image, determine the target examination object corresponding to the target ultrasound image;

[0071] In this embodiment, the executing entity can be an ultrasound device, and the purpose is to annotate and measure the acquired target ultrasound image. After the ultrasound device completes the image or video acquisition in its routine operation, i.e., after acquiring the target ultrasound image, the user selects the target examination object according to the examination target. In addition, after acquiring the target ultrasound image, the ultrasound device can identify the corresponding target examination object from the target ultrasound image through image analysis.

[0072] S102: Obtain the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library, and determine the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target inspection object based on the correspondence; wherein, the annotation measurement library includes at least one annotation measurement item;

[0073] The annotation and measurement library is a library that includes at least one annotation and measurement item. An annotation and measurement item is a tool that can perform annotation and measurement on the inspected object, such as annotation tools for adding arrows, selection boxes, and annotation text, or measurement tools for measuring perimeter, diameter, length, thickness, and volume. These annotation and measurement items can be tools that automatically perform annotation and measurement on the inspected object, or tools that perform annotation and measurement on the inspected object under user guidance.

[0074] In this embodiment, a correspondence between the examination object and the annotation measurement library is pre-established. In specific implementation, firstly, the examination targets are classified according to the examination object, which may include the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, breast, fetus, blood vessels, etc. Secondly, a correspondence between the examination object and the annotation measurement library is established. It is understood that each examination target has a corresponding annotation measurement library, such as annotations, arrow annotations, manual measurements, automatic measurements, and other advanced measurement tools. A correspondence between the examination object and the annotation measurement library is established from the perspective of consistency with the examination target. This correspondence can be a direct association, defined as a first-level association. Furthermore, after the user selects the target examination object according to the examination target, the ultrasound equipment automatically filters the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target examination object based on the established correspondence.

[0075] In practice, the labeling and measurement process for ultrasonic equipment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, after obtaining the target ultrasound image based on image or video acquisition and determining the target examination object, the ultrasound equipment adds a position icon to the target examination object and performs a marker measurement library screening to select the target annotation measurement library from the marker measurement library based on the added position icon, and then performs a marker measurement operation on the target examination object.

[0076] As a preferred implementation, establishing the correspondence between the examination object and the annotation measurement library includes: creating a position icon corresponding to each examination object based on the feature information of each examination object targeted by ultrasound examination, and determining the annotation measurement library corresponding to each examination object; establishing the correspondence between the position icons of each examination object and the annotation measurement library; correspondingly, determining the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target examination object based on the correspondence includes: determining the target position icon corresponding to the target examination object, and determining the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target position icon based on the correspondence between the position icon and the annotation measurement library. In specific implementation, position icons are used to represent examination objects, that is, creating position icons corresponding to each examination object based on the feature information of the examination object, and establishing the correspondence between the position icons and the annotation measurement library. The basic format of the position icon is an image, which is easier to distinguish visually, and users can select the examination object by selecting the position icon. The content of the position icon is usually a certain part of the human body, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the figure, BodyMark is the body position icon, and the classification of body position icons is more in line with the standard of human diagnostic classification.

[0077] Among them, feature information is information that characterizes the features of the object being examined. It can be the numerical value, level, descriptive text, etc., corresponding to each feature item of the object being examined. These feature items can include growth cycle, shape, size, and common lesion types, etc.

[0078] Preferably, the step of creating a position icon corresponding to each examination object based on the feature information of each examination object targeted by ultrasound examination includes: determining the feature information corresponding to the feature items of each examination object; wherein, the feature items include at least one of the following: growth cycle, shape, size, and common lesion type; and creating a position icon corresponding to each feature item of each examination object based on the determined feature information. It should be noted that the examination objects include not only normal examination objects but also abnormal examination objects, such as fatty liver, gallstones, etc., and normal and abnormal examination objects correspond to different annotation measurement libraries. Furthermore, the annotation measurement libraries corresponding to different growth stages of the same examination object are also different; for example, the annotation measurement libraries corresponding to the same human body part are different for fetuses and adults. Therefore, creating a corresponding position icon for each feature item of the examination object, the position icon here may include growth cycle, shape, size, and common lesion type, etc. Of course, other subdivision methods can be used for the position icons according to the specific usage scenario of the ultrasound equipment, which are not specifically limited here.

[0079] In some embodiments, different features correspond to different body position icons. For example, for the liver, when the feature is the growth cycle, the body position icon a1 corresponds to a growth cycle of 1-3 months, the body position icon a2 corresponds to a growth cycle of 4-12 months, and the body position icon a3 corresponds to a growth cycle of 13-24 months. When the feature is a common lesion type, fatty liver corresponds to body position icon b1, liver cancer corresponds to body position icon b2, and liver cirrhosis corresponds to body position icon b3.

[0080] S103: Display the annotation measurement items in the target annotation measurement library to perform annotation measurement on the target inspection object based on the displayed annotation measurement items.

[0081] This step displays the annotation measurement items in the target annotation measurement library, providing users with operation guidance. Users can select the required annotation measurement items from the displayed items for annotation or measurement. In specific implementations, a filtered annotation measurement menu (Suggestion) can be added at the same level as the body position icon menu, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the "Measure" tab displays measurement items associated with the target body position icon in the target annotation measurement library. The "Annotation" tab displays annotation items associated with the target body position icon in the target annotation measurement library. The "Other" tab displays common annotation operations, such as arrow annotations. It can also display annotation measurement items for specific examination targets, such as liver AI and obstetrics AI. Additionally, users can return to the body position icon menu, reselect the target body position icon, and the ultrasound device will then re-filter and display the target annotation measurement library, thus updating the content of the annotation measurement menu.

[0082] In a preferred embodiment, the step of annotating and measuring the target examination object based on the displayed annotated measurement items includes: performing boundary identification on the contents contained in the target ultrasound image, and determining closed regions in the target ultrasound image based on the boundary identification results; determining the data values ​​of the graphic attributes of the closed regions based on the displayed annotated measurement items; wherein the graphic attributes include at least one of perimeter, area, maximum diameter, and minimum diameter; wherein the maximum diameter can be the maximum diameter, and the minimum diameter can be the minimum diameter; obtaining the correspondence between the graphic attributes and measurement items, and determining the data value corresponding to the target measurement item based on the correspondence between the graphic attributes and measurement items; the target measurement item is the item corresponding to the measurement of the target examination object; and using the target measurement item and the corresponding data value as the measurement result of the target examination object, i.e., the annotated measurement result of the target examination object.

[0083] In practice, ultrasound images are labeled with measurement results using a semi-automatic measurement method. It's understood that ultrasound images are generally two-dimensional black-and-white images. Boundary recognition technology can be used to identify the boundaries of various tissues in the ultrasound image, that is, to determine the closed polygons corresponding to each tissue, and then identify the data values ​​of the graphic attributes of each closed polygon. Graphic attributes can include perimeter, area, maximum diameter, and minimum diameter, etc., to calculate the basic data of each tissue within the image. This basic data is assigned to professional measurements, and then the graphic attributes are associated with the measurement items. Based on this, the association between the data values ​​of the graphic attributes and the measurement items is realized. The measurement items and their corresponding data values ​​serve as the measurement result annotations for the ultrasound images, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0084] In the aforementioned semi-automatic measurement process, such as Figure 6 As shown, clicking "Auto Calc" triggers automatic image recognition. If the recognition result is inaccurate, users can modify some recognition parameters according to the image situation, such as boundary recognition sharpening parameters, minimum size of recognized graphics, etc. They can also adjust the closed polygons corresponding to each recognized tissue, such as... Figure 7 As shown, clicking "Edit" enters the graphic adjustment state, and all results are refreshed synchronously after adjustment. After the automatic identification and modification of tissues in the ultrasound image is completed, the user can select the identified closed polygons and view the related results for each closed polygon. The user can then select the results to be retained and click "Save" to assign professional values ​​to the selected graphics one by one according to the image order. After clicking the "Save" button, the image interface will only display the selected graphics; unselected graphics and results will be automatically deleted. The professional value assignment operation is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, users assign values ​​to the automatically identified graphic attributes one by one, which is to associate them with measurement items. The left side displays the graphic attributes and their corresponding data values, while the right side displays the existing measurement library in the measurement system. After selecting the appropriate measurement item, click the "Assign" button to perform the professional assignment. Users can also switch the closed polygon to be assigned values ​​by adjusting "Graph1" in the quick control area. For image attributes that have not been professionally assigned, the original results are directly retained. Click "Finish" to complete the professional assignment of image attributes, exit automatic measurement, and update the results window on the host computer. The result display diagram is shown below. Figure 9 As shown.

[0085] Furthermore, after annotating and measuring the target object based on the displayed annotation measurement items, the process further includes: generating a corresponding display unit block for the object in the examination report; displaying the corresponding body position icon, the ultrasound image corresponding to the target object, and the annotation measurement results of the annotation measurement items in the display unit block. Even further, the display unit block displays the body position icon corresponding to the target object, the ultrasound image corresponding to the target object, and the annotation measurement results obtained by annotating and measuring the target object based on the annotation measurement items.

[0086] In practice, the examination report is divided into multiple display unit blocks. Each display unit block is used to display the examination results corresponding to an examination object, including the position icon corresponding to the examination object, all ultrasound images, and the annotation measurement results of all annotated measurement items.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, displaying the corresponding body position icon, the ultrasound image corresponding to the target examination object, and the annotated measurement results of the annotated measurement items in the display unit block includes: displaying the corresponding body position icon at a first fixed position in the display unit block; displaying the ultrasound image corresponding to the target examination object at a second fixed position in the display unit block, and displaying the annotated measurement icon of the annotated measurement item in the ultrasound image; and displaying the annotated measurement results of the annotated measurement item at a third fixed position in the display unit block. The display position of the annotated measurement icon is determined based on the position corresponding to the annotation operation; that is, the display position of the annotated measurement icon in the display unit block is not fixed and can be determined by factors such as the lesion location.

[0088] In practice, a schematic diagram of an inspection report is shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the examination report contains two display unit blocks: the upper display unit block 1 and the lower display unit block 2. Taking display unit block 1 as an example, the second fixed position is the upper part of display unit block 1, which displays the ultrasound image of the examined liver. The ultrasound image displays the labeled measurement results (i.e., the arrows and line segments in the figure). The first fixed position is the lower left corner of the upper part of the display unit block, which displays the liver's position icon. The third fixed position is the lower part of the display unit block, which displays the labeled measurement results of the three labeled measurement items.

[0089] As can be seen, when displaying the examination report, the ultrasound images, labeled measurement items, and labeled measurement results are displayed together according to the examination object, making the displayed examination report more organized.

[0090] The annotation measurement method based on ultrasound equipment provided in this application pre-establishes a correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library. The annotation measurement library corresponding to the inspection object contains the annotation measurement items corresponding to that inspection object. During ultrasound examination, after acquiring the target ultrasound image, the user annotates the target inspection object in the target ultrasound image. The ultrasound equipment determines the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target inspection object based on the pre-established correspondence. The ultrasound equipment only displays the annotation measurement items in the target annotation measurement library, providing guidance for the user's subsequent annotation measurement operations, reducing the operation time for the user to switch and select annotation measurement items, and improving the efficiency of annotation measurement.

[0091] This application discloses a labeling measurement method based on ultrasonic equipment. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically:

[0092] See Figure 11 A flowchart illustrating another annotation measurement method based on an ultrasonic device according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 11 As shown, it includes:

[0093] S201: After acquiring the target ultrasound image, determine the first target examination object contained in the target ultrasound image and the second target examination object associated with the location of the first target examination object;

[0094] S202: Obtain the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library, and determine the first target annotation measurement library corresponding to the first target inspection object and the second target annotation measurement library corresponding to the second target inspection object based on the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library;

[0095] S203: Display the annotation measurement items in the first target annotation measurement library and the second target annotation measurement library, so as to perform annotation measurement on the target inspection object based on the displayed annotation measurement items.

[0096] Understandably, because some objects being examined may be relatively small in size, a single ultrasound image may contain multiple objects. For example, when acquiring an ultrasound image of the liver, the gallbladder image may also be included. Therefore, after acquiring the target ultrasound image, the user can select the first target object directly contained in the target ultrasound image. The ultrasound equipment automatically determines the second target object associated with the location of the first target object. The annotated measurement items in the first target annotation measurement library corresponding to the first target object and the second target annotation measurement library corresponding to the second target object are both the annotated measurement items that need to be displayed.

[0097] This application discloses a labeling measurement method based on ultrasonic equipment. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment further explains and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically:

[0098] See Figure 12 A flowchart illustrating another annotation measurement method based on an ultrasonic device according to an exemplary embodiment is shown below. Figure 12 As shown, it includes:

[0099] S301: Based on the feature information of each examination object targeted by ultrasound examination, create a position icon corresponding to each examination object, and determine the annotation measurement library corresponding to each examination object.

[0100] S302: Determine the second inspection object associated with the location of the first inspection object, and obtain the first annotation measurement library corresponding to the first inspection object and the second annotation measurement library corresponding to the second inspection object;

[0101] S303: Obtain the object position icon corresponding to the first inspection object, and establish the correspondence between the object position icon and the first annotation measurement library and the second annotation measurement library;

[0102] In this embodiment, during the process of establishing the correspondence between position icons and annotation measurement libraries, for cases where an ultrasound image contains multiple examination objects, the following steps are taken: First, the position icon corresponding to the first examination object directly contained in the ultrasound image is determined. Then, the second examination object contained within the first examination object in the ultrasound image is determined. Next, the first annotation measurement library corresponding to the first examination object and the second annotation measurement library corresponding to the second examination object are determined. Finally, the correspondence between the position icons and the first and second annotation measurement libraries is established, meaning that both the first and second annotation measurement libraries serve as the annotation measurement libraries corresponding to the position icons. In this case, when the target ultrasound examination object is either the first or the second examination object, the first and second annotation measurement libraries can be found based on the correspondence between the examination object and the annotation measurement library, achieving the goal of retrieving two annotation measurement libraries through one examination object, thus improving the efficiency of annotation measurement.

[0103] In some embodiments, the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library can contain different levels. Direct association is called a first-level association, and indirect association is called a second-level association. The correspondence between the object's body position image and the first annotation measurement library is a first-level association, and the correspondence between the object's body position image and the second annotation measurement library is a second-level association. Further, the first target annotation measurement library corresponding to the first target inspection object can be determined based on the first-level association, and the second target annotation measurement library corresponding to the second target inspection object can be determined based on the second-level association, thereby simultaneously displaying the first target annotation measurement library and the second target annotation measurement library.

[0104] S304: After acquiring the target ultrasound image, determine the target examination object corresponding to the target ultrasound image;

[0105] S305: Determine the target body position icon corresponding to the target inspection object, and determine the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target body position icon based on the correspondence between the body position icon and the annotation measurement library;

[0106] In practice, after acquiring the target ultrasound image, the user selects the target position icon. Preferably, the user is only allowed to select one target position icon for one target ultrasound image. The ultrasound device determines the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target position icon based on the above correspondence.

[0107] S306: Display the annotation measurement items in the target annotation measurement library to perform annotation measurement on the target inspection object based on the displayed annotation measurement items.

[0108] The following describes a labeling and measurement device based on an ultrasonic device provided in an embodiment of this application. The labeling and measurement device based on an ultrasonic device described below and the labeling and measurement method based on an ultrasonic device described above can be referred to each other.

[0109] See Figure 13 A structural diagram of a labeling and measurement device based on an ultrasonic device is shown according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 13 As shown, it includes:

[0110] The first determining module 100 is used to determine the target examination object corresponding to the target ultrasound image after acquiring the target ultrasound image;

[0111] The second determining module 200 is used to obtain the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library, and to determine the target annotation measurement library corresponding to the target inspection object based on the correspondence; wherein the annotation measurement library includes at least one annotation measurement item;

[0112] The first display module 300 is used to display the annotation measurement items in the target annotation measurement library, so as to perform annotation measurement on the target inspection object based on the displayed annotation measurement items.

[0113] The annotation and measurement device based on ultrasound equipment provided in this application pre-establishes a correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation and measurement library. The annotation and measurement library corresponding to the inspection object contains the annotation and measurement items corresponding to that inspection object. During ultrasound examination, after acquiring the target ultrasound image, the user annotates the target inspection object in the target ultrasound image. The ultrasound equipment determines the target annotation and measurement library corresponding to the target inspection object based on the pre-established correspondence. The ultrasound equipment only displays the annotation and measurement items in the target annotation and measurement library, providing guidance for the user's subsequent annotation and measurement operations, reducing the operation time for the user to switch and select annotation and measurement items, and improving the efficiency of annotation and measurement.

[0114] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, the first determining module 100 is specifically a module that, after acquiring a target ultrasound image, determines a first target examination object contained in the target ultrasound image and a second target examination object associated with the location of the first target examination object;

[0115] Accordingly, the second determining module 200 is specifically a module that obtains the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library, and determines the first target annotation measurement library corresponding to the first target inspection object and the second target annotation measurement library corresponding to the second target inspection object based on the correspondence between the inspection object and the annotation measurement library;
