AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing ultrafast ultrasound microvascular imaging technology, electronic noise exhibits a bias phenomenon, resulting in poor image quality, especially in the deep imaging region where noise is high and blood flow signal intensity is weak. Existing methods are computationally complex and time-consuming.

Method used

Two noise suppression methods are employed: when the hardware level is high, the pulse excitation is modified in the digital beamformer to shut down part of the ultrasonic transmission; when the hardware level is low, the ultrasonic probe transmission power is completely turned off for noise acquisition and calculation, and the ultrasonic transmission is then turned on or off after the noise stability is determined.

Benefits of technology

It effectively suppresses bias noise, improves the imaging signal-to-noise ratio and noise ratio, enhances imaging quality, and is compatible with various ultrafast micro-blood flow imaging schemes. It does not require changes to the core algorithm, simplifies operation, and reduces computational complexity.

Abstract

本发明提供一种基于去偏的超快超声微血管成像噪声抑制方法,涉及超声成像技术领域。该方法根据超声成像系统硬件水平提出两种偏置噪声抑制方法。硬件水平高时,前K个集合中设定激励信号占空比为0,发射变迹为0,等效关闭超声,每一帧成像中,先进行K个集合的偏置噪声计算,将回波数据的功率多普勒PD信号减去偏置噪声计算结果,逐帧重复,完成偏置噪声滤除。硬件水平低时,在超声探头发射时完全关闭超声发射功率,保持其余成像设置,对噪声偏置进行采集计算;将回波数据的功率多普勒PD信号减去关闭超声发射功率测得的噪声偏置,完成噪声抑制。本发明方法操作简单,适配多种超快微血管多普勒成像方案,有效提高成像的信噪比和噪声比。
