[0043] Example 1
[0044] Embodiment 1 provides a method for automatically measuring bladder volume. Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the automatic bladder volume measurement method of Example 1 of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , automatic bladder volume measurement methods include:
[0045] S1, obtaining a first section ultrasound image of a bladder to be diagnosed and displaying the first section ultrasound image in a first display area of a user interface;
[0046] S2, obtaining a second section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed and displaying the second section ultrasound image in a second display area of the user interface, the second display area and the first display area being displayed simultaneously;
[0047] S3, automatically acquiring a first parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed based on the second section ultrasound image;
[0048] S4, automatically acquiring a second parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed based on the first section ultrasound image;
[0049] S5, automatically calculating the volume of the bladder to be diagnosed based on the first parameter and the second parameter;
[0050] One of the first section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image is a transverse section ultrasound image, and the other of the first section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image is a longitudinal section ultrasound image. Specifically, the first parameter is a measurable parameter corresponding to the second section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed, and the second parameter is a measurable parameter corresponding to the first section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed. Specifically, the longitudinal diameter of the bladder to be diagnosed is measured based on the longitudinal section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed, and the transverse diameter and the anterior-posterior diameter of the bladder to be diagnosed are measured based on the transverse section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed.
[0051] For example, if the first section ultrasound image is a longitudinal section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image is a transverse section ultrasound image, the second parameter is the longitudinal diameter of the bladder to be diagnosed, and the first parameter includes the transverse diameter and the anterior-posterior diameter of the bladder to be diagnosed; if the first section ultrasound image is a transverse section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image is a total section ultrasound image, the second parameter includes the transverse diameter and the anterior-posterior diameter of the bladder to be diagnosed, and the first parameter is the longitudinal diameter of the bladder to be diagnosed.
[0052] The present application simultaneously displays the transverse section ultrasound image and the longitudinal section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed in two display areas of the user interface, so that the doctor can simultaneously view the longitudinal section ultrasound image and the transverse section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed on the user interface of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment, without having to switch back and forth between the longitudinal section ultrasound image and the transverse section ultrasound image, thereby providing convenience for the doctor's diagnosis.
[0053] In some embodiments, acquiring a first-section ultrasound image of a bladder to be diagnosed and displaying the first-section ultrasound image in a first display area of a user interface includes:
[0054] Acquiring a first ultrasonic image of the bladder to be diagnosed in real time through an ultrasonic probe, and displaying the first ultrasonic image in real time on a user interface of the ultrasonic diagnostic device, wherein the first ultrasonic image includes a plurality of frames of ultrasonic images of the bladder to be diagnosed, and the plurality of frames of ultrasonic images include at least one frame of a first section ultrasonic image of the bladder to be diagnosed;
[0055] After obtaining the first section ultrasound image, the multi-screen mode is switched to display the first ultrasound image in the first display area of the user interface. Specifically, when the multi-screen mode is switched, the first ultrasound image is automatically saved and displayed in the first display area of the user interface. Furthermore, when the multi-screen mode is switched, the last frame of the first ultrasound image is automatically displayed in the first display area of the user interface.
[0056] In some embodiments, the command for switching the dual-screen mode can be input through a variety of input methods such as key input, touch screen input, voice input, etc., thereby achieving the switching of the dual-screen mode.
[0057] In some embodiments, acquiring a second-section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed and displaying the second-section ultrasound image in a second display area of the user interface includes:
[0058] Activate the second display area so that the second display area displays the ultrasonic scan image in real time; specifically, after switching to the dual-screen mode, the first display area displays the first ultrasonic image, and the second display area is activated by clicking the second display area so that the second display area displays the second ultrasonic image in real time; in some embodiments, the second display area can also be activated by other forms such as buttons, voice input, etc. so that the second display area displays the second ultrasonic image in real time;
[0059] Acquire a second ultrasonic image of the bladder to be diagnosed, wherein the second ultrasonic image includes a second section ultrasonic image; the second ultrasonic image includes a plurality of frames of ultrasonic images of the bladder to be diagnosed, wherein the plurality of frames of ultrasonic images include at least one frame of the second section ultrasonic image of the bladder to be diagnosed;
[0060] The second ultrasonic image is saved. The acquired second ultrasonic image is frozen by touching the screen, pressing a button, or inputting a voice, etc. to save the second ultrasonic image. Specifically, when saving the second ultrasonic image, the second display area may display the last ultrasonic image frame of the second ultrasonic image.
[0061] In some embodiments, acquiring a first-section ultrasound image of a bladder to be diagnosed and displaying the first-section ultrasound image in a first display area of a user interface further includes:
[0062] Activate the first display area;
[0063] Drag the progress bar of the first ultrasound image to select the first section ultrasound image.
[0064] Specifically, if the operator switches to the multi-screen mode when acquiring the first ultrasound image, the first display area will always display the first-section ultrasound image during the process of acquiring the second-section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed. However, since acquiring ultrasound images is a continuous process, the operator may have acquired several frames of the first-section ultrasound image when scanning the first-section ultrasound image. In this case, the operator can reactivate the first display area after acquiring the second ultrasound image, and then drag the progress bar of the first ultrasound image to select the best first-section ultrasound image from the several frames of the first-section ultrasound image.
[0065] After selecting the optimal first section ultrasound image, the second parameter of the corresponding bladder to be diagnosed can be obtained based on the optimal first section ultrasound image. At this time, the second parameter obtained is the most accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of the bladder capacity measurement result.
[0066] In some embodiments, acquiring a second section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed and displaying the second section ultrasound image in a second display area of the user interface further includes:
[0067] Activate the second display area;
[0068] Drag the progress bar of the second ultrasound image to select the second section ultrasound image.
[0069] Specifically, if the operator saves the second section ultrasound image when acquiring the first ultrasound image, the second display area can directly display the second section ultrasound image. In actual operation, when the second section ultrasound image is acquired, it often contains several frames of different second section ultrasound images. In this case, the operator can activate the second display area after saving the second ultrasound image, and then drag the progress bar of the second ultrasound image to select the best second section ultrasound image from several frames of second section ultrasound images.
[0070] After selecting the optimal second section ultrasound image, the first parameter of the corresponding bladder to be diagnosed can be obtained based on the optimal second section ultrasound image. At this time, the first parameter obtained is the most accurate, further improving the accuracy of the bladder capacity measurement result.
[0071] Specifically, the second display area can be activated by clicking on the second display area, or a command to activate the second display area can be input by other means such as keystrokes, voice input, etc. In the present application, the operator can select the best first section ultrasound image and second section ultrasound image by activating the first display area and the second display area respectively, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement of the bladder volume to be diagnosed.
[0072] In some embodiments, after acquiring the first section ultrasound image, the operator may activate the second display area after acquiring the first section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image, and then automatically acquire the first parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed by activating the program for automatically acquiring the first parameter. Specifically, the program for automatically acquiring the first parameter may be activated by multiple forms such as buttons, voice input, and touch screen.
[0073] In some embodiments, after the operator obtains the first section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image, the operator can activate the first display area, and then automatically obtain the second parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed by activating the program for automatically obtaining the second parameter. Specifically, the program for automatically obtaining the second parameter can be activated by multiple forms such as buttons, voice input, and touch screen.
[0074] Specifically, in the present application, the order of obtaining the first parameter and the second parameter is not limited. After the first parameter is obtained, the operator activates the program for automatically obtaining the second parameter to automatically obtain the second parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed, and if it is recognized that the first parameter and the second parameter have been obtained, the program for calculating the bladder capacity is activated to automatically calculate the bladder capacity.
[0075] Specifically, if the last frame of the first ultrasound image is a better first section ultrasound image, the operator can directly activate the first display area without dragging the progress bar, and then activate the program for automatically acquiring the second parameter to automatically acquire the second parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed. The same operation is performed for the second ultrasound image.
[0076] Specifically, the first parameter, the second parameter and the bladder capacity are automatically obtained through artificial intelligence. The values of the first parameter, the second parameter and the bladder capacity are all displayed on the user interface, and can be displayed simultaneously in the first display area or the second display area, or can be displayed separately. Preferably, the first parameter, the second parameter and the bladder capacity are all displayed in the second display area.
[0077] Specifically, in some embodiments, the dual-screen mode means that the first section ultrasound image and the second section ultrasound image are displayed in the same user interface, and can be displayed side by side left and right or side by side up and down, as well as other display methods, as long as the doctor can clearly see the cross-sectional ultrasound image and the longitudinal section ultrasound image of the bladder to be diagnosed at the same time.
[0078] Example 2
[0079] Example 2: The patient's bladder is automatically measured according to the method of Example 1. 2 is an ultrasound image after the cross-section parameters are automatically obtained in Example 2 of the present application. Figure 3 This is an ultrasound image after automatically acquiring longitudinal section parameters and bladder volume in Example 2 of the present application. In this embodiment, the first display area is activated by clicking on the first display area, the second display area is activated by clicking on the second display area, the first parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed is automatically acquired by activating the program for automatically acquiring the first parameter through the first parameter touch screen button on the user interface, and the second parameter of the bladder to be diagnosed is automatically acquired by activating the program for automatically acquiring the second parameter through the second parameter touch screen button on the user interface.
