Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of medical imaging equipment control technology, and particularly relates to a control method for medical imaging equipment, medical imaging equipment and media. Background Technology

[0002] Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR) is a medical image processing technique that converts three-dimensional medical image data into two-dimensional images displayed on different planes. In practice, MPR can be applied to medical imaging equipment such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). When applied to CT or MRI, MPR converts the three-dimensional medical image data obtained from scanning into two-dimensional images displayed on different planes, such as the sagittal, transverse, and other planes. MPR facilitates observation of the patient's internal tissue structures from multiple angles, thus improving the accuracy of examinations.

[0003] Among related technologies, medical imaging equipment with MPR technology is highly specialized and has a complex operation process, resulting in low user efficiency in operating medical imaging equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a control method for medical imaging equipment, a medical imaging equipment, and a medium, aiming to solve the problem in related technologies that medical imaging equipment with MPR technology is highly specialized and has a complex operation process, resulting in low operating efficiency for users.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a medical imaging device, the method comprising:

[0006] The parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol is displayed. The parameter configuration interface includes multiple parameter configuration controls. At least one of the multiple parameter configuration controls is in an editable state. The parameter configuration controls are used to configure the working parameters of the medical imaging equipment. The working parameters include scanning parameters, composition parameters, and site parameters used to indicate the site to be scanned.

[0007] Receive parameter configuration values ​​input to a target parameter configuration control in at least one parameter configuration control;

[0008] Update the parameter value of the target working parameter corresponding to the target parameter configuration control to the parameter configuration value;

[0009] When a scan operation is detected, the medical imaging equipment is controlled to scan the area to be scanned based on the parameter values ​​of the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control, so as to obtain scan result data.

[0010] MPR diagrams are generated based on the scan results data.

[0011] In this embodiment, the medical imaging device can directly display a parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol selected by the user. Users can interact with this interface to intuitively configure the values ​​of various operating parameters, making the operation simple and improving user efficiency. For any operating parameter, if its value is modified, the medical imaging device will scan the area to be scanned based on the modified parameter value to obtain the scan result and generate an MPR image. In other words, the medical imaging device can change the values ​​of operating parameters according to user needs, making it more practical and flexible. Furthermore, if the user does not modify any operating parameter, the medical imaging device can operate based on the existing parameter values, greatly facilitating user operation and further improving user efficiency.

[0012] In some embodiments, the parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol further includes: a first function control, the first function control being used to trigger the adjustment of the editing state of each of the parameter configuration controls, and the method further includes: when the control state of the first function control is detected to be in a triggered state, adjusting the editing state of each of the parameter configuration controls to an editable state.

[0013] In this embodiment, the editing state of each parameter configuration control is triggered by a first functional control. Specifically, when the first functional control is in a triggered state, the editing state of each parameter configuration control can be adjusted to an editable state; when the first functional control is in a non-triggered state, the editing state of each parameter configuration control is non-editable. This allows users to determine whether to modify the values ​​of each parameter configuration control on the parameter configuration interface by manipulating the control state of the first functional control. In other words, users can choose whether to modify the values ​​of the working parameters, offering high flexibility and greatly facilitating user operation, thereby further improving the user's operational efficiency with medical imaging equipment.

[0014] In some embodiments, the parameter configuration interface further includes a second functional control, which is used to trigger and store the parameter configuration value corresponding to the target working parameter; after generating the MPR image based on the scan result data, the method further includes: when the control state of the second functional control is detected to be in a triggered state, maintaining the parameter value of the target working parameter to the parameter configuration value corresponding to the target working parameter; when the control state of the second functional control is detected to be in a non-triggered state, restoring the parameter value of the target working parameter to the default value corresponding to the target working parameter.

[0015] In this embodiment, when the second functional control is in a triggered state, the medical imaging device can save the user's modifications to the target working parameter, that is, save the parameter configuration value of the target working parameter. Thus, the next time the target working parameter is used, it can operate based on the parameter configuration value. Conversely, if the second functional control is in a non-triggered state, the medical imaging device does not store the parameter configuration value of the target working parameter; that is, the next time the target working parameter is used, the medical imaging device operates based on the default value of the target working parameter. In other words, the user can determine whether to save the parameter configuration value corresponding to the target working parameter by selecting the control state of the second functional control, thereby achieving intuitive and flexible control of the medical imaging device.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mapping parameters include a mapping quantity parameter in the target mapping direction, and generating MPR images based on the scan result data includes: generating a target number of MPR images of the scanned region in the target mapping direction according to the scan result data, the mapping quantity parameter, and a preset image distribution rule, wherein the target number corresponds to the value of the mapping quantity parameter, and the target mapping direction includes: coronal plane direction, sagittal plane direction, and transverse plane direction.

[0017] In this embodiment, users can configure mapping description parameters on the parameter configuration interface to enable medical imaging equipment to reconstruct one or more MPR images in the user's desired direction according to the user's intention. This greatly facilitates user operation and further improves the user's operational efficiency with the medical imaging equipment. Furthermore, constructing multiple MPR images in a specific mapping direction, such as multiple sagittal images at different depths, can demonstrate the scanning results of the scanned area at different depths, improving the effectiveness and accuracy of the images output by the medical imaging equipment, thereby increasing the mapping accuracy of the medical imaging equipment.

[0018] In some embodiments, generating a target number of MPR images of the area to be scanned in the target composition direction based on the scan result data, the composition number parameter, and a preset image distribution rule includes: when the preset image distribution rule is to distribute each MPR image in the target composition direction at equal intervals, determining the size information of the area to be scanned based on the scan result data; determining the position information of each MPR image in the target composition direction based on the preset image distribution rule and the size information; and generating a corresponding MPR image based on the position information of each MPR image.

[0019] In this embodiment of the application, multiple MPR images of different depths are constructed in the same mapping direction, and the MPR images are distributed at equal intervals. On the one hand, the computational complexity of determining the position of each MPR image is low. On the other hand, it can show the scanning results of the part to be scanned at different depths, which can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the images output by the medical imaging equipment, thereby improving the mapping accuracy of the medical imaging equipment.

[0020] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when the control state of the first functional control is in a triggered state, during the process of controlling the medical imaging device to scan the area to be scanned, displaying a preview image of the area to be scanned on a reference plane, the reference plane including at least one of the following: coronal plane, sagittal plane, and transverse plane; when a region adjustment operation on a target area in the preview image is detected, determining the position offset and direction offset corresponding to the region adjustment operation, wherein the target area includes a scanning frame and a saturation band, and the working parameters further include the position offset and the direction offset; based on the position offset and the direction offset, controlling the medical imaging device to continue scanning the area to be scanned to obtain the scan result data.

[0021] In this embodiment, during the scanning process, the medical imaging device can display a preview image of the area to be scanned on a reference plane to the user. This allows the user to adjust target areas, such as the scan frame and saturation band, based on the displayed preview image, to ensure the scan results obtained by the medical imaging device better match the user's expectations. Furthermore, the user can intuitively adjust the position and direction of the scan frame or saturation band through human-computer interaction, enabling operation based on the adjusted parameters without the need for cumbersome manual adjustments. This further improves the operational efficiency of the medical imaging device and enhances the user experience.

[0022] In some embodiments, the parameter configuration interface further includes a third functional control, which is used to trigger the display of operation guidance information; the method further includes: when the control state of the third functional control is in a triggered state, determining operation guidance information based on the part parameter, the operation guidance information being used to guide the user to perform an area adjustment operation; and displaying the operation guidance information on the parameter configuration interface.

[0023] In this embodiment, to guide the user in correctly performing region adjustment operations, the medical imaging device can display operation guidance information on the parameter configuration interface. This allows the user to adjust the target region on the preview image displayed in the preview interface based on the guidance information, thereby obtaining the desired scan result data.

[0024] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when a part selection operation is detected on the part display interface, displaying a scanning protocol management interface corresponding to the part to be scanned selected by the part selection operation, wherein the part display interface includes part indication information corresponding to multiple parts respectively; when a scanning protocol selection operation is detected on the scanning protocol management interface, displaying a parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol selected by the scanning protocol selection operation, wherein the target scanning protocol is associated with the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control in the parameter configuration interface.

[0025] In this embodiment, each scanning protocol can have a corresponding parameter configuration interface. Thus, after the user selects a target scanning protocol, the medical imaging device can display the parameter configuration interface corresponding to that protocol, enabling the user to interact with the device and operate it intuitively and effectively as desired.

[0026] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a control device for a medical imaging device, comprising:

[0027] The interface display unit is used to display the parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol. The parameter configuration interface includes multiple parameter configuration controls. At least one of the multiple parameter configuration controls is in an editable state. The parameter configuration controls are used to configure the working parameters of the medical imaging equipment. The working parameters include scanning parameters, composition parameters, and site parameters for indicating the site to be scanned.

[0028] A parameter configuration unit is used to receive parameter configuration values ​​input for a target parameter configuration control in at least one parameter configuration control;

[0029] The parameter update unit is used to update the parameter value of the target working parameter corresponding to the target parameter configuration control to the parameter configuration value;

[0030] The scanning execution unit is used to control the medical imaging equipment to scan the area to be scanned based on the parameter values ​​of the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control when a scanning execution operation is detected, so as to obtain scanning result data.

[0031] The image generation unit is used to generate MPR images based on the scan result data.

[0032] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a medical imaging device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor.

The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0053] To illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following embodiments will be used for explanation.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a control method for a medical imaging device, wherein the executing entity of the control method is typically the medical imaging device itself. In some application scenarios, the executing entity can also be other devices used to control the medical imaging device, such as tablets or personal computers. The medical imaging device can be a CT scanner, an MRI scanner, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the control method for medical imaging equipment may include the following steps 101-105.

[0055] Step 101: Display the parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol.

[0056] The parameter configuration interface includes multiple parameter configuration controls. At least one of the parameter configuration controls is in an editable state. The parameter configuration controls are used to configure the working parameters of the medical imaging equipment. The working parameters include scanning parameters, composition parameters, and site parameters used to indicate the area to be scanned.

[0057] Scanning parameters are typically used to control the scanning process, such as echo time (TE), repetition time (TR), and field of view (FOV). Mapping parameters are typically used to control the generation of MPR maps, such as parameters indicating the number of MPR maps.

[0058] The aforementioned target scanning protocol is typically the scanning protocol selected by the user. In practice, medical imaging equipment usually needs to perform scanning operations based on the scanning protocol. It should be noted that by associating the scanning protocol with the parameter configuration interface and displaying the current values ​​of each working parameter to the user through the parameter configuration interface, the status of each working parameter can be displayed in a timely and accurate manner. Users do not need to go through cumbersome operations to find the working parameters that need to be adjusted, which can greatly facilitate user operation and improve the efficiency of user operation of medical imaging equipment.

[0059] In practice, the initial values ​​of the parameter configuration controls in the parameter configuration interface are usually related to the area to be scanned. One area to be scanned can correspond to one parameter configuration interface. These areas can include the heart, lungs, pelvis, sinuses, etc. For any parameter configuration control in the parameter configuration interface, its initial value is usually the default value of the corresponding working parameter. This default value can be a pre-set value. In some application scenarios, the default value can be updated.

[0060] It is understandable that in parameter configuration controls, the values ​​of all parameter configuration controls can be modified, while the values ​​of some parameter configuration controls may be unmodifiable by default.

[0061] In some optional implementations of this application's embodiments, the parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol further includes: a first functional control, which is used to trigger and adjust the editing state of each parameter configuration control. In this case, the control method of the aforementioned medical imaging device may further include the following step: when the control state of the first functional control is detected to be in a triggered state, the editing state of each parameter configuration control is adjusted to an editable state.

[0062] The control states mentioned above can include triggered states and non-triggered states. The editing states mentioned above can include editable states and non-editable states.

[0063] In practice, when the first functional control is in the triggered state, it can trigger the adjustment of the editing state of each parameter configuration control to the editable state. When the first functional control is in the non-triggered state, the editing state of each parameter configuration control is non-editable.

[0064] In some application scenarios, medical imaging equipment can use sensors, such as pressure sensors, to detect user triggering operations on a first functional control. When a triggering operation is detected, the control state of the first functional control is determined to be in a triggered state. Conversely, if no triggering operation is detected, the control state of the first functional control is determined to be in a non-triggered state. The aforementioned triggering operation is typically used to instruct the functional control to enter the triggered state. In practice, the triggering operation can be implemented as selecting the first functional control, double-clicking the first functional control, etc. It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the implementation form of the triggering operation.

[0065] In some application scenarios, for each functional control, such as the first functional control, a state parameter can be pre-set to indicate the control's state. Medical imaging equipment can detect the control's state by detecting and analyzing the value of the state parameter. For example, if the state parameter of the first functional control is "1", then the control's state is triggered; if the state parameter is "NULL", then the control's state is not triggered. It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the implementation form of the state parameter value for the functional control in its embodiments.

[0066] When the control state of the first functional control is in the triggered state, the medical imaging device can adjust the editing state of each parameter configuration control on the parameter configuration interface to the editable state.

[0067] In practice, for any parameter configuration control, if the control is in an editable state, the user can modify the parameter values ​​within it; that is, the user can modify the values ​​of the corresponding working parameters. Conversely, if the control is in a non-editable state, the user cannot modify the parameter values ​​within it; that is, the user cannot modify the values ​​of the corresponding working parameters.

[0068] Understandably, if some parameter configuration controls have values ​​that are not editable by default, then when the first function control is triggered, the edit state of the parameter configuration controls that are not editable by default will not be adjusted to the editable state.

[0069] It should be noted that users can determine whether to modify the values ​​of each parameter configuration control on the parameter configuration interface by manipulating the control state of the first function control. In other words, users can choose whether to modify the values ​​of the working parameters. This provides high flexibility and greatly facilitates user operation, thereby further improving the user's operating efficiency of medical imaging equipment.

[0070] In some optional implementations, the parameter configuration interface may also include a second functional control. This second functional control is used to trigger the storage of the parameter configuration value corresponding to the target working parameter. The target parameter configuration control is typically the parameter configuration control being modified. The target working parameter is typically the working parameter corresponding to the target parameter configuration control.

[0071] In practice, when the second function control is in the triggered state, the medical imaging device can save the user's modifications to the target working parameter, that is, save the parameter configuration value of the target working parameter. Thus, the next time the target working parameter is used, it can operate based on the parameter configuration value. It should be noted that if the second function control is in the untriggered state, the medical imaging device does not store the parameter configuration value of the target working parameter; that is, the next time the target working parameter is used, the medical imaging device operates based on the default value of the target working parameter.

[0072] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the parameter configuration interface provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 In the interface, multiple parameter configuration controls are displayed, each of which can be configured with one working parameter. For example, Figure 2 The quick scan control is the first functional control. The custom mode control is the second functional control. The quick reference frame is used to indicate the reference plane of the medical imaging equipment in the reference coordinate system. When the quick scan control is selected, its control state changes from inactive to triggered. When the quick scan control is not selected, its control state is inactive. Similarly, when the custom mode control is selected, its control state is triggered. When the custom mode control is not selected, its control state is inactive.

[0073] in addition, Figure 2 In the system, the part control is used to configure the part to be scanned, such as the skull, and the sub-part control is used to configure the sub-parts under the part to be scanned, such as the cranium in the skull. The part control and the sub-part control can work together to achieve precise configuration of the part to be scanned.

[0074] It should be noted that the various working parameters configured in the parameter configuration interface, such as site parameters, scanning parameters, and composition parameters, are usually associated with the target scanning protocol corresponding to that parameter configuration interface. By associating these working parameters with the scanning protocol, the medical imaging device can directly display the parameter configuration interface corresponding to that scanning protocol when the user selects it. In other words, the interface directly displays the working parameters associated with that scanning protocol, simplifying operation and improving the user's efficiency in operating the medical imaging device.

[0075] Combination Figure 2 As can be seen, when the first function control is in the triggered state, the various working parameters on the parameter configuration interface can be configured and modified by the user, thereby achieving intuitive and flexible control of the medical imaging equipment. When the second function control is in the triggered state, the parameter configuration values ​​of the target working parameters configured and modified by the user on the parameter configuration interface can be saved, so that each working parameter can be used again based on the user's expected values. The user can determine whether to save the parameter configuration values ​​corresponding to the target working parameters by selecting the control state of the second function control, thus achieving intuitive and flexible control of the medical imaging equipment.

[0076] Step 102: Receive parameter configuration values ​​input for the target parameter configuration control in at least one parameter configuration control.

[0077] In this context, the target parameter configuration control is typically the parameter configuration control that is being modified. The target working parameter is usually the working parameter corresponding to the target parameter configuration control. The parameter configuration value is usually the parameter value entered by the user.

[0078] Step 103: Update the parameter value of the target working parameter corresponding to the target parameter configuration control to the parameter configuration value.

[0079] Here, for each parameter configuration control, if the user inputs the desired parameter configuration value for that parameter configuration control, the medical imaging device can receive the parameter configuration value input by the user and update the parameter value of the working parameter corresponding to that parameter configuration control configured by the user to the configured parameter configuration value.

[0080] Combination Figure 2 For example, regarding the "slice thickness" parameter configuration control, the corresponding working parameter is slice thickness. If the initial value of this parameter configuration control is 3.00, it means the slice thickness parameter value is 3.00. The unit of slice thickness is usually millimeters (mm). When this parameter configuration control is in editable mode, if the user enters 4.00, the medical imaging device can modify the slice thickness to 4.00. Slice thickness refers to the dimension of the imaging slice in the third dimension of the imaging space. For MRI, slice thickness represents a scanning slice of a certain thickness.

[0081] Step 104: When a scan execution operation is detected, the medical imaging device is controlled to scan the area to be scanned based on the parameter values ​​of the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control, so as to obtain scan result data.

[0082] The aforementioned scan execution operation typically involves determining whether to perform a scan. For example, this scan execution operation could be clicking a hardware button or a software button. It is understood that this application does not specifically limit the specific implementation of the scan execution operation.

[0083] Here, medical imaging equipment can detect scan execution operations. As an example, when a scan execution operation is implemented as clicking a hardware button, the medical imaging equipment can detect the scan execution operation by detecting changes in the electrical level of the hardware button. As another example, when a scan execution operation is implemented as clicking a software button, the medical imaging equipment can detect the scan execution operation using a sensor, such as a pressure sensor.

[0084] Here, after detecting the scan execution operation, the medical imaging equipment can scan according to the parameter values ​​of various working parameters to obtain scan result data, thereby realizing the reconstruction of the MPR map based on the scan result data.

[0085] Step 105: Generate an MPR map based on the scan result data.

[0086] In practice, medical imaging equipment can use MPR technology to reconstruct MPR images based on scan result data.

[0087] The method provided in this embodiment allows the medical imaging device to directly display a parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol selected by the user. Users can interact with this interface to intuitively configure the values ​​of various operating parameters, making the operation straightforward and simple, thus improving user efficiency. For any operating parameter, if its value is modified, the medical imaging device will scan the area to be scanned based on the modified parameter value to obtain the scan result and generate an MPR image. In other words, the medical imaging device can change the values ​​of operating parameters according to user needs, making it more practical and flexible. Furthermore, if the user does not modify any operating parameter, the medical imaging device can operate based on the existing parameter values, greatly facilitating user operation and further improving user efficiency.

[0088] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, the control method of the above-mentioned medical imaging device may further include the following steps: when the control state of the first functional control is in an untriggered state, if a scanning execution operation is detected, the medical imaging device is controlled to scan the area to be scanned and generate an MPR image based on the parameter values ​​of the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control.

[0089] In this embodiment, if the first function control is not triggered, it means that the user does not need to configure or modify the values ​​of the working parameters. At this time, if a scan execution operation is detected, the medical imaging device can perform a scan according to the default values ​​of each working parameter to obtain the scan results and reconstruct the MPR image based on the scan result data.

[0090] In some optional implementations, when the control state of the first functional control is in an untriggered state and the control state of the second functional control is also in an untriggered state, if a scan execution operation is detected, the medical imaging equipment is controlled to scan the area to be scanned and generate an MPR image based on the default values ​​of the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control, based on the default values ​​of the working parameters of each parameter configuration control.

[0091] In this embodiment, when neither the first function control nor the second function control is triggered, the medical imaging device can operate according to the default values ​​of each working parameter.

[0092] In some alternative implementations, when the control state of the first functional control is in an untriggered state and the control state of the second functional control is in a triggered state, if a scan execution operation is detected, the medical imaging device is controlled to scan the area to be scanned and generate an MPR image based on the parameter values ​​of the working parameters corresponding to each parameter configuration control.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the first function control is not triggered and the second function control is triggered, the medical imaging device can operate according to the existing values ​​of each working parameter. This allows the working parameters to continue using the previous values ​​even after they have been modified.

[0094] In other words, users can interact with the first and second function controls on the parameter configuration interface to flexibly and effectively control the operation of medical imaging equipment, which helps to further improve the operating efficiency of medical imaging equipment.

[0095] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, the parameter configuration interface may further include a second functional control, which is used to trigger the parameter configuration value corresponding to the stored target working parameter. In this case, after scanning the area to be scanned and generating an MPR image based on the scan result data, the control method of the above-mentioned medical imaging device may further include the following steps 301 to 302.

[0096] Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating the process by which a medical imaging device responds to a second functional control, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0097] Step 301: When the medical imaging device detects that the control state of the second functional control is in the triggered state, it maintains the parameter value of the target working parameter as the parameter configuration value corresponding to the target working parameter.

[0098] Step 302: When the medical imaging device detects that the control state of the second functional control is not triggered, it restores the parameter value of the target working parameter to the default value corresponding to the target working parameter.

[0099] The default value is usually the initial value of the working parameter.

[0100] Here, the operation of detecting the control state of the second functional control by the medical imaging equipment is basically the same as the operation of detecting the control state of the first functional control mentioned above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the control state of the second functional control is in the triggered state, it indicates that the user wishes to save the currently configured parameter values ​​for future use. At this time, after the medical imaging device scans the area to be scanned using the currently configured parameter values ​​and generates an MPR image based on the scan result data, the parameter values ​​of the target working parameters can be maintained at the parameter configuration values ​​corresponding to the target working parameters.

[0102] Additionally, if the second function control is not triggered, it indicates that the user does not wish to save the currently configured parameter values. In this case, after the medical imaging equipment scans the area to be scanned using the currently configured parameter values ​​and generates an MPR image based on the scan results, the parameter values ​​of each target working parameter can be restored; that is, the configured parameter values ​​are not saved. This allows for flexible control of the medical imaging equipment, helping to further improve the user's operational efficiency.

[0103] In some optional implementations of this application's embodiments, the mapping parameters include a mapping quantity parameter in the target mapping direction. In this case, the medical imaging device can generate MPR images in the following manner: based on the scan result data, the mapping quantity parameter, and a preset image distribution rule, it generates a target number of MPR images of the scanned area in the target mapping direction.

[0104] The values ​​of the target quantity and composition quantity parameters are consistent.

[0105] The target mapping directions include: coronal, sagittal, and transverse directions. In practice, MPR technology can reconstruct MPR maps in any direction based on 3D scan data; that is, the aforementioned target mapping directions can also be other directions.

[0106] The target number can be any number, for example, 3. In practice, the target number is usually a positive integer. The initial value of the target number is usually 1. Users can change the number of MPR images displayed in the target mapping direction by changing the parameter configuration value of the target number.

[0107] The aforementioned preset image distribution rules are typically pre-defined image distribution rules. For example, the images can be evenly spaced, or the spacing between the images can be randomly distributed, or the spacing between the images can gradually become sparser from the center outwards. It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the image distribution method defined by the preset image distribution rules.

[0108] In this embodiment, users can configure the mapping description parameters on the parameter configuration interface to enable medical imaging equipment to reconstruct one or more MPR maps in the user's desired direction according to the user's intention. This can greatly facilitate user operation and further improve the user's operating efficiency of medical imaging equipment.

[0109] It should be noted that constructing multiple MPR images in a certain imaging direction, such as constructing multiple sagittal images at different depths, can show the scanning results of the scanned area at different depths, which can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the images output by medical imaging equipment, thereby improving the imaging accuracy of medical imaging equipment.

[0110] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, the medical imaging device can specifically generate an MPR image through the following steps 401 to 403. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of generating an MPR diagram as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0111] Step 401: Under the preset image distribution rule of distributing each MPR image at equal intervals in the target mapping direction, determine the size information of the part to be scanned based on the scanning result data.

[0112] Step 402: Determine the position information of each MPR image in the target composition direction according to the preset image distribution rules and size information.

[0113] Step 403: Generate the corresponding MPR diagram based on the location information of each MPR diagram.

[0114] In practice, the scan results data can usually describe the three-dimensional morphology of the scanned area.

[0115] In this embodiment, after the medical imaging device scans the area to be scanned, it typically obtains scan result data. This scan result data usually includes the size information of the area to be scanned. Therefore, the medical imaging device can extract the size information from the scan result data. Then, based on this size information, the medical imaging device can calculate the center position of the area to be scanned, the length of the area to be scanned perpendicular to the target mapping direction, and other necessary data. For ease of description, the length of the area to be scanned perpendicular to the target mapping direction can be denoted as the total cutting length.

[0116] As an example, medical imaging equipment can use the total cut length and the number of targets to calculate the interval between every two images, thereby obtaining the positional information of each MPR image. For instance, if the total cut length is L and the number of targets is N, then the interval d can be: d = L ÷ (N + 1).

[0117] As another example, medical imaging equipment can determine the positional information of each MPR image by centering it on the center of the area to be scanned. For instance, if the number of targets is 1, the position of the MPR image is the center position. If the number of targets N is equal to 2n or 2n+1, then the interval d between every two images can be d = L ÷ (2n+1).

[0118] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of multiple MPR diagrams provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 The image shows a three-dimensional map of the brain and MPR maps of five sagittal planes at five different depths above the three-dimensional brain map. At this point, N=5, n=2, and the interval between each pair of images is d=L÷6.

[0119] In this embodiment of the application, multiple MPR images of different depths are constructed in the same mapping direction, and the MPR images are distributed at equal intervals. On the one hand, the computational complexity of determining the position of each MPR image is low. On the other hand, it can show the scanning results of the part to be scanned at different depths, which can improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the images output by the medical imaging equipment, thereby improving the mapping accuracy of the medical imaging equipment.

[0120] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, the control method of the above-mentioned medical imaging device may further include the following steps 601 to 603.

[0121] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of adjusting the target area provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0122] Step 601: When the control state of the first functional control is in the triggered state, during the process of controlling the medical imaging device to scan the area to be scanned, a preview image of the area to be scanned on the reference plane is displayed.

[0123] The reference plane includes at least one of the following: coronal plane, sagittal plane, and transverse plane.

[0124] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a preview image when the reference plane provided in the embodiments of this application is a cross-section. Figure 7 In the image, 701 represents the cross-sectional image of the region to be scanned, 702 is the scanning frame, and 703 and 704 are both saturation bands. It should be noted that saturation bands are commonly used in magnetic resonance imaging to suppress signal interference outside the region of interest, thereby improving image contrast and clarity.

[0125] Here, during the scanning process, the medical imaging equipment can display a preview image of the area to be scanned on a reference plane. This allows users to adjust target areas, such as the scan frame and saturation band, based on the displayed preview image, ensuring the scan results better match their expectations. Users can intuitively adjust the position and orientation of the scan frame or saturation band through interactive controls, eliminating the need for cumbersome manual adjustments and improving operational efficiency and user experience.

[0126] Step 602: If a region adjustment operation is detected on the target area in the preview image, determine the position offset and direction offset corresponding to the region adjustment operation.

[0127] The operating parameters also include position offset and orientation offset. The target area includes the scan frame and the saturation band.

[0128] The aforementioned area adjustment operations are typically performed on the target area. In practice, these operations usually involve scaling and / or rotating the target area.

[0129] Here, medical imaging equipment can detect region adjustment operations and, by analyzing the operation information of the region adjustment operation, obtain the target position and target direction of the region adjustment operation. Then, by comparing the existing position and existing direction of the target region with the target position and target direction, the position offset and direction offset corresponding to the region adjustment operation are obtained.

[0130] Step 603: Based on the position offset and direction offset, control the medical imaging equipment to continue scanning the area to be scanned in order to obtain scan result data.

[0131] Here, medical imaging equipment can perform more targeted scans based on the initial scan results, taking into account positional and directional offsets, thereby obtaining the scan results data that the user expects, which helps to further improve the user experience.

[0132] Understandably, after receiving the scan results, medical imaging equipment can store the position and orientation offsets if the second function control is triggered. Understandably, by default, both position and orientation offsets can be 0.

[0133] In some optional implementations of this application's embodiments, the parameter configuration interface may further include a third functional control, which is used to trigger the display of operation guidance information. In this case, the control method for the aforementioned medical imaging device may further include the following steps: First, when the control state of the third functional control is in a triggered state, operation guidance information is determined based on the site parameters. Then, the operation guidance information is displayed on the parameter configuration interface.

[0134] The operation guidance information is used to guide users in performing area adjustment operations. In practice, because each part is different, the operation guidance information for different parts is usually different.

[0135] Optionally, the operation guidance information may include at least one of the following: video, audio, text, etc.

[0136] Here, to guide users in correctly performing region adjustment operations, medical imaging equipment can display operation guidance information on the parameter configuration interface. Based on this guidance, users can adjust the target area on the preview image displayed in the preview interface to obtain the desired scan results.

[0137] It should be noted that displaying operation guidance information in multiple formats can help users master the area adjustment operation more quickly, thereby further improving the efficiency of operating medical imaging equipment.

[0138] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another parameter configuration interface provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0139] Figure 8 In the interface, multiple parameter configuration controls are displayed, each of which can be configured with one working parameter. For example, Figure 8 The quick scan control is the first functional control. The custom mode control is the second functional control. The automatic guidance control is the third functional control. The quick reference system is used to indicate the reference plane of the medical imaging equipment in the reference coordinate system. The direction offset parameter is used to record the direction offset amount, and the position offset parameter is used to record the position offset amount. Figure 8In the system, when the automatic guidance control is selected, operation guidance information can be displayed on the parameter configuration interface. This guidance information can include video and text. Additionally, Figure 8 In addition, the parameter configuration interface can also include a control for selecting the number of MPR images. When this control is selected, the user can configure the number of images in different composition directions, such as the number of images in the transverse direction (Tra), the number of images in the coronal direction (Cor), and the number of images in the sagittal direction (Sag).

[0140] Combination Figure 8 During the user's region adjustment operation, the parameter configuration interface can display the directional offset and position offset corresponding to the region adjustment operation in real time, which is convenient for the user to view for further operation.

[0141] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of this application, the control method of the above-mentioned medical imaging equipment may further include the following steps one and two.

[0142] Step 1: Upon detecting a part selection operation on the part display interface, display the scanning protocol management interface corresponding to the part to be scanned selected by the part selection operation.

[0143] The body part display interface includes body part indicators for each of the multiple body parts. These indicators can be text, images, etc. For example, the interface can be a list, such as a list of body part indicators. Alternatively, it can be a combination of images corresponding to multiple body parts; for instance, the interface can display images of multiple body parts, such as images of the liver and lungs.

[0144] The aforementioned part selection operation typically involves determining the part to be scanned. As an example, this part selection operation could be clicking an element in a list; for instance, a user could click on "heart." As another example, it could also be clicking on an image, such as a heart image. It is understood that this application does not limit the specific implementation of the part selection operation.

[0145] In this embodiment, the medical imaging device can detect the site selection operation using sensors, such as pressure sensors. Then, by analyzing the operation information of the site selection operation, the selected site to be scanned can be obtained. The medical imaging device can then display the scanning protocol management interface corresponding to that site. In practice, a corresponding scanning protocol management interface can be pre-set for each site to be scanned.

[0146] Optionally, the body part display interface includes a human body image, and the body part indicators in the interface are the corresponding body part areas on the human body image. In this case, the body part selection operation can be an operation of selecting the body part to be scanned on the human body image.

[0147] Here, the medical imaging equipment can display a human body image on the body part display interface. Users can click on the body part to be scanned on the human body image, thereby achieving intuitive and accurate selection of the part to be scanned, which helps to improve the efficiency and accuracy of operating the medical imaging equipment.

[0148] Step 2: When a scan protocol selection operation is detected for the scan protocol management interface, the parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scan protocol selected in the scan protocol selection operation is displayed.

[0149] The target scanning protocol is associated with the working parameters corresponding to the various parameter configuration controls in the parameter configuration interface.

[0150] The above-described scan protocol selection operation typically involves determining which scan protocol to select. For example, the scan protocol selection operation could be clicking on a specific scan protocol in the scan protocol list. The target scan protocol is usually the selected scan protocol.

[0151] In practice, each scanning protocol can have a corresponding parameter configuration interface. This allows medical imaging equipment to display the parameter configuration interface corresponding to the target scanning protocol after the user selects it. Users can then interact with the equipment through this interface, enabling them to operate it intuitively and effectively as desired.

[0160] In some embodiments, the composition parameters include a composition number parameter in the target composition direction.

[0162] In some embodiments, the device further includes an image preview unit, an image adjustment unit, and a scan control unit.
