[0002] The present application relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a medical equipment auxiliary method, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0003] Nowadays, ultrasonic diagnosis has become a very important medical diagnostic tool. Ultrasonic equipment obtains images of the internal parts of the object (for example, soft tissue or blood flow) by sending ultrasonic signals from the surface of an object (for example, a patient) to its interior and receiving echo signals reflected from its interior. Usually, ultrasonic equipment provides more scanning parameters (for example, dynamic range, harmonic imaging, spatial compounding, etc.) for users to adjust, so as to achieve the purpose of optimizing the image. However, the physical meaning of these parameters is relatively complicated for some non-professional or less experienced doctors, and they are not fully aware of the role of these parameters. Therefore, it is hoped to provide a medical equipment auxiliary method that can quickly help doctors become familiar with the role of parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In some embodiments, the target parameter comprises a new parameter formed by combining a plurality of initial parameters, wherein combinations of different values ​​of the plurality of initial parameters form different gears of the new parameter.

[0011] In some embodiments, the medical device is an ultrasound device, and the scanning protocol may include at least one of a probe type and a scanning mode.

[0012] Another aspect of the present application provides a medical device auxiliary device. The device includes an acquisition module, a receiving module, and a display module.

[0033] It should be noted that the above description of the medical device auxiliary system 100 is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. It is understood that, after understanding the principles of the system, a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and changes in form and details to the application areas in which the above-mentioned system is implemented without departing from such principles. However, such changes and modifications do not depart from the scope of this application. For example, the medical device 110, the processing device 140, and the terminal device 130 may share a storage device 150, or they may have their own storage devices.

[0034] Figure 2 1 is an exemplary module diagram of a medical device auxiliary system according to some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the medical device auxiliary system 200 can be implemented by the processing device 140. Figure 2 As shown, the medical device auxiliary system 200 may include an acquisition module 210 , a receiving module 220 and a display module 230 .

[0035] The acquisition module 210 can be used to acquire a scanning protocol. The scanning protocol can be associated with multiple initial parameters. In some embodiments, the initial parameters can be divided into multiple levels or categories of initial parameters, so that the display module 230 can display them separately according to the level or category.

[0036] The receiving module 220 can be configured to receive an auxiliary function triggering instruction. The auxiliary function triggering instruction can trigger an auxiliary function of the medical device. In some embodiments, the auxiliary function triggering instruction can include a static auxiliary function triggering instruction and a dynamic auxiliary function triggering instruction.

[0037] The display module 230 can be configured to display a first image corresponding to the target parameter before pre-adjustment and a second image corresponding to the target parameter after pre-adjustment on the interactive interface. In other words, the display module 230 can simultaneously display the images before and after pre-adjustment for the user to compare and view, allowing the user to better understand the effect of the target parameters on the image.

[0038] It should be understood that Figure 2The system and its modules shown can be implemented in various ways. For example, in some embodiments, the system and its modules can be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware. Among them, the hardware part can be implemented using dedicated logic; the software part can be stored in a memory and executed by an appropriate instruction execution system, such as a microprocessor or dedicated design hardware. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned method and system can be implemented using computer-executable instructions and / or contained in a processor control code, for example, such as a carrier medium such as a disk, CD or DVD-ROM, a programmable memory such as a read-only memory (firmware), or a data carrier such as an optical or electronic signal carrier. Such code is provided on the system and its modules of the present application. Not only can the hardware circuits such as ultra-large-scale integrated circuits or gate arrays, semiconductors such as logic chips, transistors, or programmable hardware devices such as field programmable gate arrays, programmable logic devices, etc. be implemented, it can also be implemented using software executed by various types of processors, and it can also be implemented by a combination of the above-mentioned hardware circuits and software (for example, firmware).

[0039] It should be noted that the above description of the system and its modules is for convenience of description only and does not limit the present application to the scope of the embodiments cited. It is understandable that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the principle of the system, it is possible to arbitrarily combine the various modules or form a subsystem to connect with other modules without deviating from this principle. For example, in some embodiments, the acquisition module 210 may include two units, such as a scanning protocol acquisition unit and an auxiliary function trigger instruction receiving unit, to respectively obtain the scanning protocol and the auxiliary function trigger instruction. For another example, the modules may share a storage device, or each module may have its own storage device. Such variations are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] Figure 3 is an exemplary flow chart of a medical device auxiliary method according to some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, process 300 can be performed by processing logic, which can include hardware (e.g., circuits, dedicated logic, programmable logic, microcode, etc.), software (instructions running on a processing device to perform hardware simulation), etc., or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, process 300 can be implemented as a set of instructions (e.g., an application program) stored in storage device 150. Processing device 140 and / or Figure 2The modules in the process 140 may execute the set of instructions, and when executing the instructions, the processing device 140 and / or the modules may be configured to perform process 300. The operations of the illustrated process presented below are intended to be illustrative. In some embodiments, process 300 may be completed by one or more additional operations not described and / or by one or more operations not discussed in this application. In addition, as Figure 3 The order in which the operations in the processes illustrated and described below are not limiting.

[0041] In step 310 , the processing device 140 may acquire a scanning protocol. In some embodiments, step 310 may be performed by the acquisition module 210 in the system 200 .

[0042] In some embodiments, a scanning protocol can be a program within a medical device that can be used for actual scanning. In some embodiments, a scanning protocol can simply be associated with the parameters and / or images to be invoked and cannot be used for actual scanning. For example, when a user (e.g., a doctor or engineer) uses a medical device (e.g., medical device 110) to scan an object, they can select or set a corresponding scanning protocol based on information about the object. The processing device 140 can receive the scanning protocol and control the medical device to scan and image the object according to the scanning protocol. For another example, a user can select a scanning protocol on a terminal device (e.g., terminal device 130) and further select or set parameters associated with the scanning protocol, so that images corresponding to the pre- and post-parameter adjustments are displayed on the terminal device's display. In some embodiments, the medical device can include an ultrasound device, a CT device, an MRI device, a PET device, a SPECT device, or any combination thereof. A scanning protocol can be associated with one or more initial parameters. Different medical devices can correspond to different initial parameters. For ease of description, this application will use an ultrasound device as an example of a medical device, which does not limit the scope of this application. In some embodiments, the ultrasound device may include a one-dimensional ultrasound device, a two-dimensional ultrasound device, and / or a three-dimensional ultrasound device. For example, a one-dimensional ultrasound device may include an A-mode ultrasound, an M-mode ultrasound, a D-mode ultrasound, or any combination thereof. A two-dimensional ultrasound device may include a sector scanning B-mode ultrasound device, a linear scanning B-mode ultrasound device, a convex array scanning B-mode ultrasound device, or any combination thereof. A three-dimensional ultrasound device may include a stereoscopic ultrasound device, or the like. In some embodiments, the medical device 110 may be a handheld ultrasound device.

[0043] In some embodiments, the scanning protocol may include a probe type, a scanning mode, etc. Exemplary probes may include a linear array probe, a phased array probe, a 4D probe, an intracavitary probe, a transesophageal probe, a gastroscopic probe, etc. Exemplary scanning modes may include an M scanning mode, a PW scanning mode, a scanning mode that corresponds one-to-one with the scan object, etc. A scanning mode that corresponds one-to-one with the scan object may mean that the scanning mode is only applied to a specific scan object (e.g., the abdomen, heart, thyroid, etc.). The user can enter the scanning page by selecting a probe, a scanning mode, etc. In some embodiments, the scanning protocol may be related to the object in the image to be displayed in the auxiliary function of the medical device. Specifically, in some embodiments, when the probe type included in the scanning protocol is a probe for a certain part, if the auxiliary function of the medical device is called for the scanning protocol, the object in the displayed image is that part. For example, if the probe included in the scanning protocol is a transesophageal probe, the scanning object displayed in the auxiliary function of the medical device is the heart. For another example, if the probe included in the scanning protocol is a gastroscopic probe, the scanning object displayed in the auxiliary function of the medical device is the gastric cavity. In some embodiments, when a scan protocol includes a scan mode for a specific body part, if the auxiliary function of the medical device is invoked for that scan protocol, the object in the displayed image will be that body part. For example, if the scan protocol includes a scan mode for the abdomen, heart, or thyroid gland, the scan objects displayed in the auxiliary function of the medical device will correspond to the abdomen, heart, or thyroid gland, respectively.

[0044] In some embodiments, the initial parameters associated with the scanning protocol of the ultrasound device may be related to the ultrasound device and / or the ultrasound image. In some embodiments, the initial parameters may include dynamic range, depth, transmit power, gain, pseudo color, line density, speckle noise suppression, time-gain compensation (TGC), harmonic imaging, multi-beam imaging, spatial compounding, brightness, focus adjustment, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the initial parameters may include multiple levels or categories of initial parameters. For example, the initial parameters may be divided into multiple levels of initial parameters based on the frequency of use of each initial parameter in clinical applications (i.e., the frequency with which the user adjusts each initial parameter when performing image optimization). For another example, the initial parameters may be divided into multiple levels of initial parameters based on the adjustment effect of each initial parameter on the image. For example, parameters such as dynamic range, brightness, and gain may be divided into a first level of initial parameters, and the same parameters may be divided into another level of initial parameters. Each initial parameter may correspond to multiple values ​​for the user to adjust to optimize the image. In some embodiments, the initial parameters may be continuously digitized parameters. For example, continuously digitized parameters may include depth, gain, brightness, etc. In some embodiments, the initial parameters may be binned parameters. For example, for the "speckle noise suppression" parameter, it can be quantified and graded using intensity and denoising index.

[0045] In step 320 , the processing device 140 may receive an auxiliary function triggering instruction. In some embodiments, step 320 may be performed by the receiving module 220 in the system 200 .

[0046] The user can trigger the auxiliary function of the medical device by sending an auxiliary function trigger instruction to the processing device 140 to understand the application effect of various parameters (or initial parameters) of the medical device on the image. In some embodiments, the auxiliary function trigger instruction can include a static auxiliary function trigger instruction and a dynamic auxiliary function trigger instruction.

[0047] In the present application, the static auxiliary function trigger instruction is related to the static auxiliary function of the medical device. The static auxiliary function of the medical device can be related to a pre-stored database. The pre-stored database may include images corresponding to each value of each initial parameter. In some embodiments, the pre-stored database may also include images corresponding to each combination value of multiple combined parameters. Combined parameters are combinations of two or more initial parameters. After the user triggers the static auxiliary function instruction, the processing device 140 can display the image corresponding to the target parameter based on the selected target parameter (for example, the parameter and its value that the user wants to know) by querying the pre-stored database. In other words, the processing device 140 does not calculate the image to be displayed based on the target parameter in real time, but displays it by calling the corresponding pre-stored image. In some embodiments, the static auxiliary function of the medical device can be loaded directly on the medical device for the user to call when not scanning or during scanning. In some embodiments, the static auxiliary function of the medical device can also be loaded on the terminal device in the form of an application (APP), a web page, etc. to facilitate the user to call it anytime, anywhere.

[0048] The dynamic assist function triggering instruction is related to the dynamic assist function of the medical device. The dynamic assist function of the medical device can be related to the real-time acquired images. The processing device 140 can calculate the image to be displayed in real time based on the real-time acquired images and / or selected target parameters. Therefore, the dynamic assist function of the medical device needs to be loaded on the medical device to enable the real-time acquisition of images by the medical device.

[0049] In some embodiments, a user can send an auxiliary function trigger instruction to the processing device 140 via physical buttons, a touch screen, a mouse, voice, gestures, eye movements, brain waves, or other methods. For example, a medical device may be provided with an auxiliary function trigger button, and a user can click this button to send an auxiliary function trigger instruction to the processing device 140. In another example, a user interface may be provided with an auxiliary function trigger module, and the user can trigger this module by selecting it with a mouse or touching the screen to send an auxiliary function trigger instruction to the processing device 140. In another example, a user can send an auxiliary function trigger instruction to the processing device 140 by presetting a trigger rule (e.g., quickly double-clicking or long-pressing a parameter button). For example, in some embodiments, while an ultrasound device is performing a scan, a user can quickly double-click or long-press the "Dynamic Range" parameter button to trigger the auxiliary function corresponding to the dynamic range, thereby sending the auxiliary function trigger instruction corresponding to the dynamic range to the processing device 140. In other words, by quickly double-clicking or long-pressing the "Dynamic Range" parameter button, the user can enter the dynamic range auxiliary function interface, where the user can further set the pre-adjusted value of the dynamic range.

[0050] It should be noted that there is no order in which the processing device 140 acquires the scanning protocol and the auxiliary function triggering instruction. In other words, the processing device 140 may first acquire the scanning protocol and then acquire the auxiliary function triggering instruction; or it may first acquire the auxiliary function triggering instruction and then acquire the scanning protocol. In some embodiments, the processing device may acquire the scanning protocol and the auxiliary function triggering instruction at the same time. For example, when the static auxiliary function of a medical device is loaded on a terminal device in the form of an APP, a button that simultaneously triggers a specific scanning protocol and an auxiliary function triggering instruction may be provided on the APP. When the user clicks the button, he or she can directly enter the static auxiliary function interface related to the scanning protocol.

[0051] In step 330 , the processing device 140 may display a plurality of initial parameters on the interactive interface based on the scanning protocol or the auxiliary function trigger instruction. In some embodiments, step 330 may be performed by the display module 230 in the system 200 .

[0052] In some embodiments, when a scanning protocol is received, the processing device 140 can display the initial parameters associated with the scanning protocol on the interactive interface. For example, for a static auxiliary function loaded on a terminal device in the form of an APP, when the user opens the APP and selects the scanning protocol, the initial parameters related to the scanning protocol can be displayed on the display device of the terminal device for the user to select and learn. For another example, for a dynamic auxiliary function loaded on a medical device, when the user selects or sets the scanning protocol, the initial parameters related to the scanning protocol can be displayed on the display device (or interactive interface) of the medical device. In some embodiments, the processing device 140 can display the initial parameters in response to receiving an auxiliary function trigger instruction. For example, after the processing device 140 obtains the scanning protocol, in response to the user triggering the auxiliary function, the initial parameters related to the scanning protocol can be displayed on the display device of the medical device.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the initial parameters include multiple levels / categories of initial parameters, the processing device 140 can display each level / category of initial parameters on the interactive interface. For example, when the initial parameters include primary parameters (e.g., parameters with a higher frequency of use) and advanced parameters (e.g., parameters with a lower frequency of use), the processing device 140 can display the primary parameters on the interactive interface based on the scanning protocol or the auxiliary function trigger instruction. Further, in response to a display trigger instruction for displaying advanced parameters (e.g., the user can select the "Advanced" button displayed on the interactive interface), the processing device 140 can display the advanced parameters on the interactive interface. For another example, when the initial parameters include first-category initial parameters and second-category initial parameters, the processing device 140 can display the categories of each category of initial parameters based on the scanning protocol or the auxiliary function trigger instruction. Further, in response to a display trigger instruction for displaying a specific category (e.g., a first-category initial parameter display trigger instruction), the processing device 140 can display the initial parameters corresponding to the category on the interactive interface.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the auxiliary function of the medical device is loaded on the medical device, step 330 may be omitted and the process may proceed directly to step 340. Specifically, after the processing device 140 receives the scanning protocol and the auxiliary function triggering instruction, the initial parameters may not be displayed on the interactive interface. In this case, the user may select and / or set the initial parameters using the various parameter buttons provided on the medical device to determine the target parameters.

[0055] In step 340, the processing device 140 may receive a target parameter selected from the plurality of initial parameters. The target parameter includes the type of the selected initial parameter, i.e., its corresponding pre-adjusted value. In some embodiments, step 330 may be performed by the receiving module 220 in the system 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the user can select one or more initial parameters displayed on the interactive interface as target parameters. That is, the user can make a single selection or multiple selections for the initial parameters. For example, multiple initial parameters can be listed on the interactive interface, and a selection box is provided in front of each parameter. The user can select (for example, single-click, double-click) the selection box in front of the parameter that he wants to know. Furthermore, after the selection is completed, the user can select, for example, the "Apply" button to determine the parameters corresponding to the selected one or more selection boxes as the target parameters. In some embodiments, several specific initial parameters can be combined to form a new parameter, and the combination of different values ​​of these parameters can be set to different gears of the new parameter to achieve different adjustment effects on the image. For example, Figure 5As shown, the dynamic range, TGC, and gain can be combined to form a new parameter "image optimization". The parameter values ​​of dynamic range, TGC, and gain can be set to different combinations to adjust the penetration performance and resolution, corresponding to different gears of "image optimization" (for example, penetration gear 1, penetration gear 2, penetration gear 3, resolution gear 1, resolution gear 2, resolution gear 3, etc.). The user can simultaneously select the combined values ​​of dynamic range, TGC, and gain by clicking the "Image Optimization" button and setting its corresponding gear. In some embodiments, the user can select the target parameter through physical buttons, touch screen, mouse, voice, gesture, eye movement, brain waves, etc. After the target parameter is selected, the user can further select or set the pre-adjusted value of the target parameter. For example, the user can select several gears of "depth", set the gain value, etc.

[0057] In step 350, processing device 140 may display on the interactive interface a first image corresponding to the target parameter before pre-adjustment and a second image corresponding to the target parameter after pre-adjustment. In some embodiments, step 350 may be performed by display module 230 in system 200. By displaying the images before and after pre-adjustment on the interactive interface, the user can more intuitively understand the effect of the target parameters on the image.

[0058] In this application, pre-adjustment may refer to the process of determining an image of interest based on target parameters. It should be noted that the processing device 140 does not actually adjust the parameters during the scanning process; rather, it simply obtains and displays the image of interest (e.g., the first image and the second image corresponding to the target parameters before and after pre-adjustment) through invocation or calculation. The user can preview the image of interest and then determine whether to adjust the target parameters to optimize the acquired image.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first image and / or the second image may include a static image (e.g., an image frame) or a dynamic image. In the present application, a dynamic image may refer to an image composed of multiple continuous static images. In some embodiments, the dynamic image may be stored or processed in a format such as Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), MP4, Audio Video Interleaved (AVI), etc. For example, when the object associated with the scanning protocol is a heart, since the heart is beating all the time, the first image and the second image may be dynamic images to better show the state of the heart. For another example, when the object associated with the scanning protocol is a blood vessel (e.g., vascular color Doppler ultrasound), the first image and the second image may be dynamic images to better understand the blood flow.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the auxiliary function trigger instruction is a static auxiliary function trigger instruction, the first image and the second image can be determined by querying a pre-stored database based on the target parameter. For example, each target parameter (for example, each initial parameter or the category of a combination of multiple initial parameters) can correspond to an initial image (which can be a static image or a dynamic image). The processing device 140 or other processing devices can determine the target image (which can be a static image or a dynamic image) corresponding to the target parameter based on the initial image and the target parameter (for example, a pre-adjusted value). The processing device 140 or other processing devices can store the initial image and target image corresponding to each target parameter in a pre-stored database. When the user selects the target parameter (including the total category of the initial parameter and its corresponding pre-adjusted value), the processing device 140 can retrieve the initial image corresponding to the target parameter as the first image, and the target image corresponding to the target parameter as the second image from the pre-stored database. In some embodiments, each target parameter (or combined target parameter) can be the default setting of the medical device auxiliary system 100.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the auxiliary function trigger instruction is a dynamic auxiliary function trigger instruction, the processing device 140 can collect an initial image based on the scanning protocol and display the initial image on the interactive interface. After receiving the selected target parameter, the processing device 140 can use the collected initial image as the first image. The processing device 140 can process the initial image based on the target parameter (for example, the pre-adjusted value of the initial parameter) to determine the second image. In some embodiments, the first image and the second image can change in real time as the user moves the probe. For example, when the user triggers the dynamic auxiliary function, the user can use the probe to collect an image of the object (for example, a phantom) in real time. At this time, two identical initial images (for example, dynamic images) can be displayed on the display device of the medical device in real time. Further, the user can select the target parameter (for example, dynamic range). At this time, the display device can display the initial image (i.e., the first image) on the left and the second image determined based on the target parameter and the initial image on the right.

[0062] In some embodiments, when two or more target parameters are selected, the processing device 140 may simultaneously display on the interactive interface the initial image corresponding to the multiple target parameters before pre-adjustment, the image corresponding to each target parameter after pre-adjustment, and the image corresponding to the combined effect of at least two target parameters on the initial image. For example, the target parameters may include a first target parameter and a second target parameter. The processing device 140 may first determine the initial image corresponding to the first target parameter and the second target parameter before pre-adjustment. Based on the initial image and the first target parameter, the processing device 140 may determine a first sub-image corresponding to the first target parameter after pre-adjustment. The processing device 140 may also determine a second sub-image corresponding to the second target parameter after pre-adjustment based on the initial image and the second target parameter. The processing device 140 may also determine a third sub-image corresponding to the first target parameter and the second target parameter after pre-adjustment based on the initial image, the first target parameter, and the second target parameter. The processing device 140 may display the initial image, the first sub-image, the second sub-image, and the third sub-image on the interactive interface. Specifically, when the auxiliary function trigger instruction is a dynamic auxiliary function trigger instruction, the initial image corresponding to the first target parameter and the second target parameter before pre-adjustment may be the currently captured image. When the auxiliary function trigger instruction is a static auxiliary function trigger instruction, the initial image corresponding to the first target parameter and the second target parameter before pre-adjustment can be an image corresponding to the parameter types of the first target parameter and the second target parameter pre-stored in the database.

[0063] In some embodiments, during the real-time scanning process of the medical device, based on the current acquired image, if the user wants to know the application effect (for example, optimization effect) of a certain parameter (for example, a newly set parameter of the medical device) on the current acquired image, the auxiliary function of the medical device can be triggered, and the parameter value of the parameter that the user wants to know can be set. At this time, the display device of the medical device can simultaneously display the current acquired image (that is, the first image) and the second image after the parameter is pre-adjusted. Furthermore, if the user is satisfied with the optimization effect of the parameter on the current acquired image, the user can accept the adjustment of the parameter. For example, the user can click the "Apply" button on the interactive interface. At this time, only the image corresponding to the parameter adjustment can be displayed on the interactive interface.

[0064] In some embodiments, the processing device 140 may also display descriptions of target parameters (e.g., physical meaning, functional description, etc.) on the interactive interface to assist the user in understanding (e.g., Figure 4 In some embodiments, the processing device 140 may also mark the first image and / or the second image to facilitate the user to observe the changes before and after the target parameter is pre-adjusted. For example, the processing device 140 may compare the first image and the second image. The processing device 140 may mark the first image and / or the second image with a marking symbol (e.g., Figure 4 415 and 425 in the figure) to mark locations where the image signal difference exceeds a threshold. Specifically, for example, with respect to the "dynamic range" parameter in the ultrasound device, the processing device 140 can circle the locations in the second image where the brightness or darkness is greatest. Furthermore, the same locations in the first image can be marked with "o"s. For another example, when the "depth" parameter value is reduced, the processing device 140 can mark the additional structures in the first image relative to the second image. The processing device 140 can also provide textual explanations next to the markings.

[0065] It should be noted that the above description is for convenience only and does not limit the present application to the scope of the embodiments described. It is understood that those skilled in the art, after understanding the principles of the system, can make various modifications and changes in form and details to the application fields of the above-mentioned method and system without departing from such principles.

[0066] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of at least part of the interactive interface corresponding to a single target parameter in the static auxiliary function of the ultrasound device according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the target parameter is dynamic range. When the user triggers the static assistive function, the interactive interface 400 can display a first image 410 corresponding to the dynamic range before pre-adjustment (e.g., a dynamic range value of 30) and a second image 420 corresponding to the dynamic range after pre-adjustment (e.g., a dynamic range value of 60). Both the first image 410 and the second image 420 are static images. In some embodiments, parameter information 430 regarding the dynamic range can also be displayed below the interactive interface 400. Parameter information 430 may include the physical meaning of the dynamic range parameter, the functional effect of the dynamic range parameter, and so on. In some embodiments, areas with significant differences between the first image 410 and the second image 420 can be marked on the first image 410 and the second image 420. For example, the boundary of the portion corresponding to circle 425 (i.e., the liver) is clearer than the boundary of the portion corresponding to circle 415. By displaying the images before and after dynamic range pre-adjustment (images 410 and 420) on the interactive interface 400, the user (e.g., a doctor) can more intuitively understand the effect of the dynamic range parameter on the image, significantly saving the doctor's time.

[0067] Figure 5 1 is a schematic diagram of at least a portion of the interactive interface corresponding to the combined target parameters in the static auxiliary function of the ultrasound device according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 5As shown, the combined target parameters are "image optimization" parameters, including dynamic range, gain and TGC. When the user triggers the static auxiliary function, the interactive interface 500 can display the first image 510 corresponding to the "image optimization" before pre-adjustment and the second image 520 corresponding to the "image optimization" after pre-adjustment. The first image 510 and the second image 520 are both static images. In some embodiments, parameter information 530 about the parameters involved in "image optimization" (for example, dynamic range, gain and / or TGC) can also be displayed below the interactive interface 500. The parameter information 530 may include the physical meaning of the parameters of dynamic range, gain and / or TGC, the functional effect of the parameters, etc. In some embodiments, the places where the first image 510 and the second image 520 have large differences (for example, the parts shown by circles 515 and 525) can be marked on the first image 510 and the second image 520. By displaying the images before and after the “image optimization” pre-adjustment (images 510 and 520) on the interactive interface 500, users (e.g., doctors) can more intuitively understand the application effect of “image optimization” on images, which greatly saves the doctor’s time.

[0068] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of at least part of the interactive interface corresponding to a single target parameter in the dynamic auxiliary function of the ultrasound device according to some embodiments of the present application. The interactive interface 600 corresponding to a single target parameter in the dynamic auxiliary function can be Figure 4 The interactive interface 400 corresponding to a single target parameter in the static auxiliary function shown in FIG is similar. The difference is that the image displayed in the dynamic auxiliary function is a dynamic image. Figure 6 As shown, the target parameter is the dynamic range. When the user triggers the dynamic assist function, the interactive interface 600 can display a first image 610 corresponding to the dynamic range before pre-adjustment and a second image 620 corresponding to the dynamic range after pre-adjustment. Both the first image 610 and the second image 620 are dynamic images. The first image 610 and the second image 620 can change in real time as the user moves the probe. In some embodiments, parameter information 630 regarding the dynamic range can also be displayed below the interactive interface 600. The parameter information 630 may include the physical meaning of the dynamic range parameters, the functional effects of the parameters, etc. In some embodiments, areas with significant differences between the first image 610 and the second image 620 (e.g., the areas indicated by circles 615 and 625) can be marked on the first image 610 and the second image 620. The images before and after the dynamic range pre-adjustment (images 610 and 620) displayed on the interactive interface 600 can enable users (e.g., doctors) to more intuitively understand the effects of the dynamic range parameters on dynamic images, significantly saving the doctor's time.
