[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] An embodiment of the present invention provides an ultrasound device, including an ultrasound probe, a display, and a processor, wherein the processor is in communication with the ultrasound probe and the display, the processor is used to execute the ultrasound image display method described in any of the following embodiments, and the display is used for the ultrasound scanning interface and the first interface. Of course, the function of the display is not limited to this, and is specifically set according to actual needs.

[0063] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrasound device provided by an optional embodiment of the present invention, in which the ultrasound device 100 includes an ultrasound probe 110, a transmitting circuit 112, a receiving circuit 114, a processor 116, and a display 118. Further, the ultrasound device may also include a transmitting / receiving selection switch 120 and a beamforming module 122, and the transmitting circuit 112 and the receiving circuit 114 may be connected to the ultrasound probe 110 through the transmitting / receiving selection switch 120.

[0064] Specifically, the ultrasonic probe 110 is used to generate a shear wave that propagates in the target tissue of the target object; the transmitting circuit 112 is used to excite the ultrasonic probe 110 to transmit a first ultrasonic wave that tracks the shear wave to the target tissue; the receiving circuit 114 is used to control the ultrasonic probe 110 to receive the ultrasonic echo returned by the target tissue to obtain a first echo signal of the first ultrasonic wave; and the processor 116 is used to execute the ultrasonic image display method described in any of the following embodiments.

[0065] The ultrasonic probe 110 includes a transducer (not shown) composed of a plurality of array elements arranged in an array. The array elements are used to transmit ultrasonic waves according to an excitation electrical signal, or to convert received ultrasonic waves into electrical signals. Therefore, each array element can be used to realize the mutual conversion between electrical pulse signals and ultrasonic waves, thereby transmitting ultrasonic waves to the biological tissue of the target object, and can also be used to receive the echo of ultrasonic waves reflected back by the tissue.

[0066] The transmitting circuit 112 is used to control the ultrasonic probe 110 to transmit ultrasonic waves, for example, according to the control of the processor 116, stimulate the ultrasonic probe 110 to transmit ultrasonic waves toward the target object.

[0067] The receiving circuit 114 is used to control the ultrasonic probe 110 to receive ultrasonic echoes, for example, to receive ultrasonic echoes returned from the target object through the ultrasonic probe 110 to obtain ultrasonic echo signals, and can also process the ultrasonic echo signals. The receiving circuit 114 may include one or more amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), etc.

[0068] The display 118 is used for display or human-computer interaction, such as outputting visual information and receiving user input. The display 118 includes an input device and at least one display screen. The input device is used to receive user input, which can be a keyboard, operation button, mouse, trackball, touch pad, etc., or a touch screen integrated with the display screen.

[0069] The memory 124 is used to store various types of data.

[0070] The ultrasound device may also include a beamforming module 122. The beamforming module 122 is connected to the receiving circuit 114 signal, and is used to perform corresponding delay and weighted summing beamforming processing on the echo signal. Since the distances from the ultrasound receiving point in the measured tissue to the receiving array element are different, the channel data of the same receiving point output by different receiving array elements have delay differences, and delay processing is required to align the phases, and weighted summing is performed on the different channel data of the same receiving point to obtain the ultrasound image data after beamforming. The ultrasound image data output by the beamforming module 122 is also called radio frequency data (RF data). The beamforming module 122 performs focusing delay, weighting and channel summing on the ultrasound echo data, and then sends it to the processor 116. The processor 116 performs signal detection, signal enhancement, data conversion, logarithmic compression and other processing on the ultrasound echo signal to form an ultrasound image. The ultrasound image obtained by the processor 116 can be displayed on the display 118 or stored in the memory 124.

[0071] The processor 116 may be implemented as software, hardware, firmware or any combination thereof, and may use a single or multiple application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), a single or multiple general purpose integrated circuits, a single or multiple microprocessors, a single or multiple programmable logic devices, or any combination of the aforementioned circuits and / or devices, or other suitable circuits or devices. In addition, the processor 116 may control other components in the ultrasound device 100 to perform the corresponding steps of the methods in various embodiments of the present specification.

[0072] The display 118 is connected to the processor 116, and the display 118 may be a touch screen, a liquid crystal display, etc.; or, the display 118 may be an independent display such as a liquid crystal display, a television, etc., which is independent of the ultrasound device 100; or, the display 118 may be a display screen of an electronic device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, etc. The number of the display 118 may be one or more.

[0073] The display 118 can display the ultrasound image obtained by the processor 116. In addition, while displaying the ultrasound image, the display 118 can also provide the user with a graphical interface for human-computer interaction. One or more controlled objects are set on the graphical interface, and the user is provided with a human-computer interaction device to input operation instructions to control these controlled objects, thereby performing corresponding control operations. For example, an icon is displayed on the graphical interface, and the icon can be operated by the human-computer interaction device to perform a specific function, such as drawing a region of interest box on the ultrasound image.

[0074] Optionally, the ultrasound device 100 may further include other human-computer interaction devices in addition to the display 118, which are connected to the processor 116. For example, the processor 116 may be connected to the human-computer interaction device via an external input / output port, and the external input / output port may be a wireless communication module, or a wired communication module, or a combination of the two. The external input / output port may also be implemented based on USB, bus protocols such as CAN, and / or wired network protocols.

[0075] The human-computer interaction device may include an input device for detecting user input information, which may be, for example, a control instruction for ultrasonic transmission / reception timing, an operation input instruction for drawing points, lines or frames on an ultrasonic image, or other instruction types. The input device may include a keyboard, a mouse, a scroll wheel, a trackball, a mobile input device (such as a mobile device with a touch screen, a mobile phone, etc.), a multi-function knob, etc., or a combination of multiple thereof. The human-computer interaction device may also include an output device such as a printer.

[0076] The ultrasound device 100 may further include a memory 124 for storing instructions executed by the processor, storing received ultrasound echoes, storing ultrasound images, etc. The memory may be a flash memory card, a solid-state memory, a hard disk, etc. It may be a volatile memory and / or a non-volatile memory, a removable memory and / or a non-removable memory, etc.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the display 118 includes a touch screen and a main screen, the touch screen and the main screen are displayed in coordination, and the interface displayed by the touch screen includes interactive controls, and corresponding content is displayed on the main screen through interaction with these controls. For example, the main screen is used to display an ultrasonic scan image, and the touch screen is used to display a first interface, and a first mark and a second mark are displayed at positions corresponding to each part in the first interface, the first mark is used to indicate the part, and the second mark is used to indicate the number of ultrasonic data stored in the part. That is, real-time ultrasonic data is displayed on the main screen, and after the ultrasonic data of a certain part is determined, it is stored, and the number of ultrasonic data stored in the part is updated. At the same time, the number of ultrasonic data stored in each part is displayed on the first interface of the touch screen, so that the user can intuitively understand the scanning status of the ultrasonic data of each part.

[0078] The contents displayed on the main screen and the touch screen will be described in detail below.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of an ultrasound image display method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0080] In this embodiment, a method for displaying an ultrasound image is provided, which can be used in the above-mentioned ultrasound device. Figure 2 is a flow chart of an ultrasonic image display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0081] Step S201, acquiring ultrasound data of the current part of the target object, and displaying the ultrasound data in an ultrasound scanning interface to determine target ultrasound data.

[0082] The ultrasound data includes at least one of an ultrasound image and an ultrasound video.

[0083] The ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic device is used to perform ultrasonic scanning on the current part of the target object to obtain ultrasonic data of the current part. The target ultrasonic data for storage can be selected by the user through interactive operations in the ultrasonic data; or the similarity between the ultrasonic data and the standard ultrasonic data of the current part can be automatically calculated. If the similarity is higher than a preset threshold, the target ultrasonic data is automatically stored.

[0084] For example, standard cross-sectional images of various parts are built into the ultrasound device. During the ultrasound scanning process, the similarity between the scanned ultrasound data and the standard cross-sectional images is calculated, and the ultrasound data with a similarity higher than a threshold is determined as the target ultrasound data for subsequent storage.

[0085] Of course, other methods may also be used to determine the ultrasound data of the current part, which may be set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0086] During the ultrasound scan, the ultrasound data and the target ultrasound data for subsequent storage are displayed in the ultrasound scan interface. The ultrasound scan interface also displays other information, such as a list of parts to be scanned, scan progress, etc. The specific layout of the ultrasound scan interface is not limited here, and it can be set according to actual needs. Among them, the ultrasound scan interface is displayed on the main screen.

[0087] Step S202, storing the target ultrasound data, and updating the second identifier of the current part in the first interface.

[0088] Among them, the first interface displays a first mark and a second mark at the position corresponding to each part, the first mark is used to indicate the part, and the second mark is used to indicate the amount of ultrasound data stored in the part.

[0089] After the target ultrasound data for storage is determined in the above step S201, it is stored, and the number of ultrasound data stored in each part is counted. The number of ultrasound data stored is the number of ultrasound data currently collected. For example, for part A, the number of ultrasound data stored is the number of ultrasound data corresponding to part A, that is, the number of ultrasound images and ultrasound videos corresponding to part A. During the ultrasound scanning process, the number of ultrasound data stored in each part changes in real time.

[0090] For the current part, the corresponding ultrasound data is stored, and the number of ultrasound data stored for the current part is also updated synchronously. Specifically, the number of ultrasound data stored is indicated by the second identifier of the current part in the first interface. The first identifier and the second identifier are displayed at the position corresponding to each part in the first interface. The first identifier is used to indicate the part. For each part, there is a first identifier and a second identifier.

[0091] In some optional implementations, a human body schematic diagram is displayed in the first interface, a first identifier is displayed at a corresponding position of each part in the human body schematic diagram, and a second identifier corresponds to the first identifier and is used to indicate the amount of ultrasound data stored in each part. The first identifier can be represented by an icon corresponding to the part, or by a serial number, etc.; the second identifier can be represented by a corresponding number, or by a bar graph, etc. The display styles of the first identifier and the second identifier are set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0092] During the ultrasound scanning process, the ultrasound scanning interface on the main screen displays real-time ultrasound data; the first interface on the touch screen updates the second identifier of the corresponding part in real time.

[0093] For example, Figure 3a An example of the first interface is shown. Figure 3a The initial state of ultrasound scanning is shown in , and no ultrasound data is currently stored. The first mark is represented by a mark with a number. Figure 3a The figure shows 8 parts to be scanned, which are numbered 1 to 8 respectively.

[0094] As the ultrasound scan progresses, the amount of ultrasound data stored in each part changes. For example, Figure 3b The first mark and the second mark are shown. The second mark is displayed above the first mark and partially overlaps with the first mark. The number in the second mark indicates the number of ultrasound data storages for the part corresponding to the first mark. For example, for part 1, the number of ultrasound data storages is 3; for part 3, the number of ultrasound data storages is 1; for the remaining parts, the number of ultrasound data storages is 0.

[0095] It should be noted that when the number of ultrasonic data stored is 0, the second mark may be not displayed, or the second mark may be displayed and the second mark indicates that the number of ultrasonic data stored is zero.

[0096] In some optional embodiments, the first identifier is used to indicate the ultrasound scanning order of the parts. The ultrasound scanning order can be a default one or a customized one. For example, before the ultrasound scanning, the preset ultrasound scanning order is confirmed. If it does not meet the requirements, the ultrasound scanning order can be adjusted in an interactive manner. The first identifier is also used to indicate the ultrasound scanning order of the parts, for example, Figure 3a As shown, 8 parts need to be scanned by ultrasound, and the order of the ultrasound scanning of these 8 parts is represented by the sequential number of the first identifier.

[0097] The first mark also represents the ultrasonic scanning order of the parts to give the user an ultrasonic scanning reminder, thereby improving the efficiency of the ultrasonic scanning.

[0098] In some optional implementations, the first mark of the current part is displayed in the first style, and the first marks of other parts are displayed in the second style. In order to distinguish the current part from other parts, different styles are used to display the first mark. For example, different color filling methods are used, such as red filling for the current part and blue filling for other parts; or, line types can be used to distinguish different display styles, etc., which are set according to actual needs.

[0099] There is no limitation on the specific types of the first style and the second style, and they are set according to actual needs.

[0100] Different styles are used to distinguish and display the current part and other parts, which intuitively indicates which part is currently being scanned and provides guidance to the user.

[0101] In some optional implementations, the method for determining the current part includes: responding to a selection operation of a first identifier of a third part in the first interface to determine the third part as the current part.

[0102] The current part can be determined automatically according to the ultrasound scanning sequence. For example, after the scanning of part 1 is completed, part 2 is determined as the current part according to the ultrasound scanning sequence. If the current part changes, the display styles of the first identifiers of the current part and other parts need to be changed accordingly.

[0103] During the ultrasonic scanning process, the user can determine the current part by interacting with the first identifiers of various parts. Specifically, in response to the selection operation of the first identifier of the third part in the first interface, the third part is determined as the current part.

[0104] For example, combined with Figure 3a As shown, the current part is part 1. If based on the ultrasound scanning sequence, the next scanned part is part 2; if based on the user's choice, the user can select any one of parts 2 to part 8 as the next scanned part.

[0105] The current part can be determined by interacting with the first identifier, that is, the current part can be determined in sequence according to the ultrasound scanning sequence, or can be customized through interaction, thereby improving the efficiency of ultrasound scanning.

[0106] The ultrasound image display method provided in this embodiment displays ultrasound data on an ultrasound scanning interface, stores collected ultrasound data, and updates the amount of ultrasound data stored in the current part in the first interface. Since a first identifier and a second identifier are displayed in the first interface, the first identifier corresponds to the part, and the second identifier indicates the amount of ultrasound data stored in the part, the amount of ultrasound data in each part can be intuitively represented, thereby improving the display effect of the ultrasound data.

[0107] In some optional implementations, the above embodiments mainly describe the display of the first mark and the second mark during ultrasound scanning. During the scanning process, the ultrasound data of the scanned part can also be viewed. In the following, the viewing process of ultrasound data is mainly described. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned ultrasound image display method also includes:

[0108] Step S401: In response to a selection operation on a first image viewing control in a first interface, a second interface is displayed.

[0109] Among them, the first mark, the second mark and the second image viewing control are displayed at the position corresponding to each part in the second interface.

[0110] The first interface also includes a first image viewing control, and the ultrasound data of the scanned part can be viewed by interacting with the first image viewing control. Specifically, in response to the selection operation of the first image viewing control in the first interface, the second interface is displayed. The first mark and the second mark are also displayed at the position corresponding to each part in the second interface. In addition, the second interface also includes a second image viewing control.

[0111] It should be noted that since the second interface is switched through interaction with the first image viewing control in the first interface, it can be considered that the second interface is used to view the ultrasound data of the scanned part, while the first interface is used to display the ultrasound scanning progress of each part, including but not limited to the amount of ultrasound data storage and the ultrasound scanning order.

[0112] For example, Figure 3a The "Browse" control in the image viewer is the first image viewer control. Figure 5 The second interface is shown. Figure 5 In the second interface shown, a human body structure diagram is displayed, and each part of the human body structure diagram is displayed with a first identifier and a second identifier. Specifically, the number of ultrasound data storages for part 1 is 2, the number of ultrasound data storages for part 2 is 2, the number of ultrasound data storages for part 3 is 1, and the number of ultrasound data storages for part 4 is 1.

[0113] The second interface also includes a second image viewing control, which is used to provide an overview of the ultrasound data of all parts. For example, the second image viewing control is Figure 5 The "Overview" control shown. It should be noted that the second interface is also displayed on the touch screen.

[0114] Step S402 : in response to a selection operation on a second image viewing control, obtaining ultrasound data of all parts of the target object.

[0115] After the user selects the second image viewing control, it indicates that the user wants to view the ultrasound data of all parts. Accordingly, in response to the selection operation of the second image viewing control, the ultrasound data of all parts of the target object are acquired.

[0116] It should be noted that during the ultrasound scanning process, some parts may not be scanned yet, and the number of ultrasound data stored in these parts is 0; some parts may be scanned but the corresponding ultrasound data is not stored, and the number of ultrasound data stored in these parts is also 0. Based on this, among all the ultrasound data of the target object, some parts may have no ultrasound data.

[0117] Step S403, displaying a third interface, in which ultrasound data of each part is displayed at a position corresponding to each part in the third interface.

[0118] The third interface displays the ultrasonic data of each part at the position corresponding to each part. The third interface is displayed on the main screen for the user to view.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, the third interface includes a human body structure diagram, and the ultrasound data of each part is displayed at the corresponding position of each part in the human body structure diagram. For example, the ultrasound data corresponds to the part when it is stored, so after the ultrasound data is acquired, the corresponding relationship between the ultrasound data and the part can be determined. Using this corresponding relationship, the ultrasound data is displayed in the corresponding part of the human body structure diagram, that is, Figure 6 The third interface shown.

[0120] The first interface is used to indicate the amount of ultrasound data stored in each part. The first image viewing control in the first interface can be used to switch to the second interface to view the ultrasound data of each part. The second image viewing control is used to view the ultrasound data of all parts of the target object, and the ultrasound data is displayed in the third interface to achieve an overview of the ultrasound data of all parts.

[0121] In some optional implementations, the above step S403 includes:

[0122] Step S4031: Displaying the storage quantity of the ultrasound data of the part in the ultrasound data of the part.

[0123] Step S4032: if the number of ultrasound data stored in the first part is greater than 1, the cover image of the ultrasound data of the first part is the first or last one in the ultrasound data of the first part.

[0124] The third interface displays the ultrasound data of the part and also displays the number of ultrasound data stored in the part. It should be noted that the display method of the number of ultrasound data stored in the third interface can be the same as or different from the display method of the number of ultrasound data stored in the first interface and the second interface, and is set according to actual needs.

[0125] For example, Figure 6 The number of ultrasound data storages is displayed in a different display mode from that in the first interface and the second interface. Specifically, the display is performed in the form of A / B, where A represents the order of the currently displayed ultrasound data and B represents the number of ultrasound data storages.

[0126] For the first part where the number of ultrasound data stored is greater than 1, since only one ultrasound data can be displayed at a time when the ultrasound data is displayed, and the other ultrasound data are not displayed, it is necessary to determine the cover image among these ultrasound data. Among them, the first ultrasound data or the last ultrasound data among the multiple ultrasound data of the same part is used as the cover image. Since the ultrasound data has a corresponding acquisition time when it is collected, the ultrasound data with the earliest acquisition time can be determined as the first ultrasound data, and the ultrasound data with the latest acquisition time can be determined as the last ultrasound data by comparing the acquisition time. Of course, it is also possible to store the ultrasound data in sequence according to the order of acquisition when storing the ultrasound data. Accordingly, the first ultrasound data or the last ultrasound data in the storage space is the above-mentioned cover image.

[0127] In some optional implementations, for a first part where the number of ultrasound data stored is greater than 1, when the ultrasound data of the first part is displayed on the third interface, all ultrasound data of the first part may be displayed simultaneously in different areas. For example, if the number of ultrasound data stored in the first part is 4, the 4 ultrasound data may be displayed simultaneously in a four-square grid at the corresponding position of the first part.

[0128] The third interface also displays the number of ultrasound data stored in each part. For the first part where the number of ultrasound data stored is greater than 1, the cover image uses the first or last ultrasound data to display all ultrasound data of the first part.

[0129] In some optional embodiments, the second interface also includes an image switching control. If the amount of ultrasound data stored in the first part is greater than 1, the above-mentioned ultrasound image display method also includes: responding to a selection operation on the image switching control to switch the ultrasound data of the first part displayed on the second interface.

[0130] As described above, for the first part, since the number of ultrasound data stored is greater than 1 and only one ultrasound data can be displayed at a time, in order to view the ultrasound data of the first part, it is necessary to switch the ultrasound data. Based on this, the second interface also includes an image switching control, and by interacting with the image switching control, the ultrasound data of the first part displayed on the second interface can be switched.

[0131] For example, the image switching control is Figure 5 The “previous” control and the “next” control shown switch the ultrasound data currently displayed at the first site through interaction with the image switching control.

[0132] The second interface also includes an image switching control, and through interaction with the image switching control, the ultrasound data of the first part is displayed in sequence, thereby realizing the viewing of the ultrasound data of the first part.

[0133] In some optional implementations, when viewing an ultrasound image, in addition to viewing ultrasound data of all parts, ultrasound data of a specified part can also be viewed. Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned ultrasound image display method also includes:

[0134] Step S701: In response to a selection operation on a third image viewing control in a second interface, ultrasound data of a second part of a target object is acquired.

[0135] The third image viewing control in the second interface is used to view the ultrasound data of a certain part. The third image viewing control can be the first identifier of the part in the second interface, or it can be an additional control. Figure 5 As shown, the user can view the ultrasound data of the part 3 by interacting with the first mark of the part 3. Figure 5 As shown, the third image viewing control is a "Detailed View" control. After selecting a part, select the "Detailed View" control to view the ultrasound data of part 3.

[0136] Step S702, displaying a fourth interface, wherein ultrasound data of the second part is displayed at a position corresponding to the second part in the fourth interface.

[0137] After the third image viewing control is selected, the fourth interface is displayed on the main screen, and the ultrasound data of the second part is displayed at the position corresponding to the second part in the fourth interface. The layout of the fourth interface can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the difference is that Figure 6 The first interface shows the viewing of ultrasound data of all parts, and the fourth interface needs to show ultrasound data of the second part. The fourth interface is also displayed on the main screen.

[0138] The third image viewing control provided in the second interface is used for viewing the ultrasound data in detail, thereby realizing viewing of the ultrasound data of the selected second part.

[0139] In some optional implementations, step S701 includes:

[0140] Step S7011, in response to a selection operation on the first identifier of the second part, determining the second part.

[0141] Step S7012: In response to a selection operation on a third image viewing control, ultrasound data of a second part is acquired.

[0142] Before viewing the ultrasound data of the second part, the second part needs to be determined first. Specifically, the second part can be determined by interacting with the first identifier of the second part. On this basis, the ultrasound data of the second part is obtained by interacting with the third image viewing control to display it on the fourth interface.

[0143] The first identifier corresponds to the part, and the second part can be determined by selecting the first identifier of the second part. On this basis, the third image viewing control can be selected to realize viewing of the ultrasound data of the second part.

[0144] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned ultrasound image display method includes before the step of obtaining ultrasound data of the current part of the target object:

[0145] Step S801, obtaining an ultrasound data acquisition instruction to display a scanning protocol selection interface.

[0146] When ultrasound data acquisition is required, the user interacts with the ultrasound device, and accordingly, the ultrasound device obtains the ultrasound data acquisition instruction to display a scanning protocol selection interface. The scanning protocol selection interface displays a variety of scanning protocols, including but not limited to FAST protocol, eFAST protocol, BLUE protocol, RUSH protocol, CCUE (ICU) protocol, etc.

[0147] Among them, the scanning protocol selection interface is displayed on the touch screen.

[0148] Step S802, in response to the selection operation of the scanning protocol in the scanning protocol selection interface, to determine the target scanning protocol.

[0149] For example, the scan protocol selection interface is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, the user selects a scanning protocol in the scanning protocol selection interface according to needs, and accordingly, the target scanning protocol can be determined in response to the user's selection operation.

[0150] Among them, the scanning protocol corresponds to the part to be scanned. After the target scanning protocol is determined, the corresponding part to be scanned is also determined.

[0151] Step S803, displaying the ultrasound scanning interface, and displaying the scanning part corresponding to the target scanning protocol in the ultrasound scanning interface.

[0152] After selecting the target scanning protocol, the ultrasound scanning interface is displayed. Since the corresponding relationship between the target scanning protocol and the part to be scanned is determined, based on this, the scanning part corresponding to the target scanning protocol is also displayed in the ultrasound scanning interface.

[0153] For example, he Fig.10 A schematic diagram of the ultrasound scanning interface is shown in FIG. Fig.10 A list of scanned parts is displayed on the right side, which intuitively shows the part that needs to be scanned currently.

[0154] The scanning protocol selection interface is used to select the scanning protocol. On this basis, the ultrasound scanning interface is displayed, and the scanning area corresponding to the target scanning protocol is displayed in the ultrasound scanning interface, giving the user a scanning prompt, thereby improving the efficiency of ultrasound scanning.

[0155] In some optional embodiments, the above-mentioned image display method further includes: in response to a selection operation of a target control in the ultrasound scanning interface, hiding or displaying description information of the target scanning protocol.

[0156] The target control is used to hide or display the target scanning protocol description information, which includes but is not limited to the scanning location, scanning method, etc. The specific content is not limited to it here.

[0157] For example, in Fig.10 In the target control, the target control is represented by a pointing symbol. By interacting with the target control, the description information of the target scanning protocol can be hidden or displayed.

[0158] The ultrasonic scanning interface also displays description information of the target scanning protocol to prompt the user so that the user can understand the scope of application of the target scanning protocol, etc.

[0159] As a specific application example of an embodiment of the present invention, the ultrasound image display method includes:

[0160] Step 1: When the ultrasound device detects that the user clicks the eWorks button on the right side of the touch screen, the eWorks function is activated. Accordingly, the ultrasound device obtains the ultrasound scanning instruction. This button may have been set when the system leaves the factory, or the user may be given permission to set the button as the eWorks button from a series of selectable function buttons.

[0161] Step 2: Display on the touch screen Fig. 9 The scan protocol selection interface shown in the figure is used to determine the target scan protocol, wherein the scan protocols include BLUE, CCUE (ICU), EFAST, FAST, FATE and RUSH (including TANK, PUMP, PIPES). The user selects and clicks the scan protocol to be entered on the touch screen to determine the target scan protocol. Fig.10 In the ultrasound scanning interface shown, the main screen displays the description information of the target scanning protocol, including the protocol prompt information (which can be hidden or displayed through the target control, which can be a combination of a moving trackball and a selection button, or a touchpad, etc.), the name of the target scanning protocol, the current part, and the ultrasound data. In some embodiments, the user can switch protocols in the drop-down box in the upper right corner of the main screen. The current protocol part map, quick annotation content and browse button are displayed on the touch screen, and the section order is displayed on the protocol part map. The section order can be defined when the system is set up at the factory, or the user can be given permission to customize the section order.

[0162] Step 3: Obtain ultrasound scan images or videos. Figure 3a As shown, the ultrasound scan starts from the first sequence by default. The current part and the remaining parts have information prompts on the main screen, and are displayed as different color sections on the touch screen. Green represents the remaining parts, and purple represents the current part. The ultrasound scan starts from sequence 1 by default. After storing the ultrasound data, it automatically jumps to the next part for scanning. In some other optional embodiments, the user can manually choose to jump to the next part or skip a part through system settings. In some other optional embodiments, the user can perform operations such as measurement, quick marking, and body marking.

[0163] Step 4: Click the Save button to save the ultrasound image or ultrasound video. The acquired ultrasound image or ultrasound video will be automatically displayed in the slice list on the right side of the main screen, such as Figure 5 As shown, the user can determine how many ultrasound images or ultrasound videos have been stored in the part according to the red small corner numbers (i.e., the second identifier) ​​around the stored image sections on the touch screen. In some other optional embodiments, the user can delete the stored sections.

[0164] Step 5: According to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, click the Browse button to display the stored images or videos. Figure 6 As shown, the main screen displays the ultrasound data of all parts stored under the target scanning protocol, and the touch screen displays sections of different colors to represent the current part. The user can click the button on the touch screen to achieve an overall preview and a detailed preview of a certain part. In some embodiments, when two or more ultrasound images or ultrasound videos are stored in the same part, the ultrasound image or ultrasound video displayed by the first or last ultrasound data stored can be used as the cover image of the part, and the previous or next data of the section can be switched by clicking the button on the touch screen.

[0165] The ultrasonic image display method directly displays the current position and the amount of ultrasonic data storage, and the intuitive display is convenient for users to view, thereby improving the efficiency of ultrasonic scanning.

[0166] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
