Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0060] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily complicating the present application. As used herein, the term "including" means including but not limited to, the term "including a" means including but not limited to one of, and the term "including one of" means including, but not limited to one of.

[0061] In order to thoroughly understand the present application, detailed steps and detailed structures will be presented in the following description in order to explain the technical solutions of the present application. The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail as follows, however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present application can have other embodiments.

[0062] In view of the technical problems in the related art, the present embodiment provides a jugular vein state determination apparatus 100, as shown in Figure 1 The jugular vein state determination apparatus 100 comprises:

[0063] An acquisition module 101, configured to acquire ultrasonic data of a jugular vein;

[0064] The processing module 102 is configured to process the acquired ultrasonic data of the neck blood vessel to obtain an envelope waveform of the ultrasonic data.

[0065] The determining module 103 is configured to determine the state of the jugular vein according to the envelope waveform of the ultrasonic data.

[0066] Exemplarily, the jugular vein state determining apparatus 100 can be part of an ultrasonic Doppler blood flow meter. The acquiring module 101 can acquire the ultrasonic data of the neck blood vessel through measurement of the ultrasonic Doppler blood flow meter. The neck blood vessel can include the carotid artery and the jugular vein.

[0067] Exemplarily, the processing module 102 can obtain the envelope waveform of the ultrasonic data through processing of the ultrasonic data. It can be understood that the ultrasonic data can be a sonogram of ultrasonic waves. The envelope waveform is obtained by obtaining a power spectral density curve on the basis of the sonogram, then obtaining an integral curve corresponding to the power spectral density curve, and finally obtaining the envelope waveform through the integral curve.

[0068] Exemplarily, the determining module 103 can determine the state of the jugular vein through the envelope waveform. The envelope waveform can include blood flow parameters of the carotid artery and blood flow parameters of the jugular vein, etc.

[0069] Specifically, the determining module 103 is configured to:

[0070] determine a jugular vein index (JVI) according to the envelope waveform of the ultrasonic data; the JVI can be obtained according to comparison of the ultrasonic data of the carotid artery and the jugular vein, and is equivalent to a ratio between carotid artery inflow and jugular vein outflow. The JVI is a quantitative parameter related to an opening area of the jugular vein under different pressures and flow rates, and is a filling degree coefficient of a venous blood vessel, which can indicate venous blood return in clinical practice. The JVI can establish a correlation between the jugular vein index and the central venous pressure (CVP) and the right heart system, and study pressure changes and volume changes of the right atrium.

[0071] Specifically, the determining module 103 is further configured to:

[0072] determine a velocity-time integral (VTI) according to the envelope waveform of the ultrasonic data;

[0073] determine the JVI according to the VTI;

[0074] JVI=cVTI / jVTI (1)

[0075] The cVTI is a VTI obtained by a positive carotid envelope line, and the jVTI is a VTI obtained by a reverse jugular vein envelope line, i.e., a frequency spectrum diagram obtained according to a sonogram in ultrasound data, as shown in Figure 2 Then, an envelope line is obtained, including a positive envelope line and a negative envelope line, as shown in Figure 3 Finally, a positive VTI and a negative VTI in a cardiac cycle are obtained, as shown in Figure 4 The positive VTI and the negative VTI are obtained according to the envelope line, which can be obtained by integration of the envelope line, which is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail herein. The envelope line is obtained by a frequency spectrum diagram, which will be described in detail below.

[0076] It can be understood that the positive envelope line can be obtained from a blood flow parameter of the carotid artery, and the reverse envelope line can be obtained from a blood flow parameter of the jugular vein.

[0077] Further, the determination module 103 is further configured to:

[0078] According to the envelope waveform of the ultrasound data, a jugular vein collapse index, a jugular vein expansion index, and a jugular vein variation index are determined.

[0079] The jugular vein collapse index, the jugular vein expansion index, and the jugular vein variation index can further characterize the state of the vein on the basis of the JVI, and thus better understand the pressure change and capacity change of the right atrium.

[0080] Specifically, the determination of the jugular vein collapse index, the jugular vein expansion index, and the jugular vein variation index includes:

[0081] According to the determined JVI value, a maximum value of the JVI and a minimum value of the JVI are determined;

[0082] According to the maximum value of the JVI and the minimum value of the JVI, the jugular vein collapse index, the jugular vein expansion index, and the jugular vein variation index are determined;

[0083] The collapse index = (JVI max -JVI min ) / JVI max ; (2)

[0084] The expansion index = (JVI max -JVI min ) / JVI min ; (3)

[0085]

[0086] Further, the determination module 103 is further configured to:

[0087] According to the envelope waveform of the ultrasound data, determine the degree of change of the venous state after the preset action:

[0088]

[0089] The preset action is an action that can make the venous state change greatly, such as infusion, leg lifting, supine, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the degree of change of the venous state after the preset action, so as to understand the change of the venous state after the preset action, and also to understand the pressure change and volume change of the right atrium, which can guide the daily life of the user. Wherein, ΔJVI is JVI2 after the preset action minus JVI1 before the preset action.

[0090] Further, the processing module 102 is specifically configured to:

[0091] Process the obtained ultrasound data of the neck blood vessel to obtain a plurality of first envelope lines of a plurality of cardiac cycles in a same respiratory cycle;

[0092] Superimpose the plurality of first envelope lines to fit a new second envelope line;

[0093] Determine the velocity-time integral VTI based on the second envelope line.

[0094] It can be understood that by superimposing the plurality of first envelope lines to fit a new second envelope line, and determining the VTI based on the second envelope line, the random error can be reduced, and the reliability of determining the venous state can be improved.

[0095] It can be understood that since the spectral envelope line is taken from the blood flow data measured by the ultrasonic Doppler blood flow measurement device, and the blood flow data is periodically changed with the pulse cycle, i.e., the cardiac cycle. Therefore, the first envelope line of each cycle can be segmented and saved, and then superimposed and fitted.

[0096] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 , first, the spectral envelope is obtained, then the envelope is extracted, segmented and saved. As can be seen from the figure, there are a total of 5 first envelope lines, and each first envelope line corresponds to a cardiac cycle. Then, the first envelope line of each cardiac cycle is superimposed with each other, i.e., the starting point of the first envelope line is adjusted to the starting point of the first cardiac cycle. If the starting point of the envelope line of the first cycle is the coordinate origin, the starting points of the other envelope lines are also the coordinate origin. Finally, the scattered points of the superimposed envelope line are fitted to obtain a new second envelope line. According to the new second envelope line, the VTI can be obtained, which can reduce the random error and improve the reliability of determining the jugular vein state.

[0097] In addition, in order to further improve the accuracy of obtaining VTI from envelope, the envelope of multiple cardiac cycles for overlap fitting can be in the same respiratory cycle.

[0098] As mentioned above, whether it is to obtain jugular venous opening index JVII, or jugular venous collapse index, jugular venous expansion index and jugular venous variation index, it is necessary to perform envelope processing on the ultrasound Doppler data. The envelope processing of ultrasound Doppler data is briefly introduced as follows.

[0099] Specifically, the ultrasound Doppler data refers to Doppler blood flow signal, and the envelope processing of ultrasound Doppler data includes:

[0100] Obtaining multiple columns of power spectrum density S(n) of the Doppler blood flow signal, to obtain the integral curve P(n) corresponding to each column of the first power spectrum density S(n);

[0101] Determining the maximum flow rate point on the integral curve P(n), and connecting the determined maximum flow rate points of each column to obtain the spectral envelope curve.

[0102] More specifically, as shown in the envelope processing of ultrasound Doppler data can include the following steps: Figure 6

[0103] Step 601: Start. Program initialization.

[0104] Step 602: Input column data S(n). That is, the first power spectrum density of each column.

[0105] Step 603: Integrate the power spectrum density with respect to frequency to obtain P(n).

[0106] Step 604: Connect the origin with the end point of the power spectrum density integration to obtain the intersection point (Vcross, P(Vcross)) of the straight line and P(n).

[0107] Step 605: Find the ordinate lowest of the minimum value of S(1) to S(Vcross).

[0108] Step 606: Find the new integral curve P(m) of S(lowest) to S(2×Vcross-lowest).

[0109] Step 607: Connect the beginning and end of P(m) to form a straight line, and find the positive and negative maximum distance of the integral curve P(m) to the straight line. The positive maximum distance is the maximum flow rate point, and the negative maximum distance is the minimum flow rate point.

[0110] Step 608: End.
