It is usually used to examine fetal development, diagnose abdominal organ lesions, and evaluate heart function.

[0003] When ultrasound waves propagate through human tissues, they produce echoes, which are captured by receivers and converted into images, showing the morphology, position, and movement of different tissues.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the collection, storage, use, processing, transmission, provision and disclosure of user personal information involved are in compliance with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and do not violate public order and good morals.

[0072] Example 1

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for processing an ultrasound image, and the processing method includes:

[0074] S11: Acquire a target ultrasound image of the patient's tissue;

[0075] S12: based on the target ultrasound image, obtaining a target white light original image, a target fluorescence original image, and a target depth image of the corresponding patient tissue;

[0076] Among them, the viewing angles and parameters of the target white light original image, the target fluorescence original image, and the target depth image are consistent;

[0077] S13: preprocessing the patient tissue based on the target white light original image, the target fluorescence original image, and the target depth image to obtain a fused image corresponding to the patient tissue; wherein the fused image includes depth information;

[0078] S14: Based on the fused image, perform three-dimensional conversion on the target ultrasound image to form a target three-dimensional image of the patient's tissue.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the image generally consists of white light original, fluorescent original and depth. White light is a composite light, which is a mixture of lights of multiple wavelengths. The white light original image is an image obtained using white light as the illumination light source, which reflects the natural shape and color of the object being photographed.

[0080] Fluorescence is the cold light emitted by a substance or molecule when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength. A fluorescence raw image is an image obtained by stimulating fluorescence using a fluorescent substance or light of a specific wavelength. It is usually used to detect or analyze the structure, composition or function of a substance.

[0081] A depth image is an image that uses the distance (depth) from the image collector to each point in the scene as the pixel value. It directly reflects the geometric shape of the visible surface of the scene. Unlike ordinary RGB images, each pixel value of the depth image represents the actual distance from the sensor to the object.

[0082] White light raw images and fluorescent raw images are similar in imaging principle, both of which use optical system to image the object on the image sensor. However, their lighting methods are different. White light raw images use white light as the illumination source, while fluorescent raw images use light of a specific wavelength to excite fluorescent substances. The imaging principle of depth image is different from the first two. It mainly obtains image information by measuring the distance from the sensor to each point in the scene.

[0083] White light images provide morphological information of tissues, fluorescence images reveal biological processes, and depth images provide the three-dimensional structure of tissues. The integration of multimodal information helps users identify and evaluate lesions more accurately.

[0084] In this embodiment, by comparing through camera shooting, fluorescence camera shooting and ultrasonic imaging, when acquiring the white light original image, the fluorescence original image and the depth image, the field of view angle and the pixel size are made consistent as much as possible, the depth coefficient is calculated using the white light original image and the depth image of the shooting area, and the grayscale value of the pixel points of the grayscale image of the fluorescence area is corrected by the depth coefficient, and the grayscale value is adjusted by the depth change so that the brightness change in the grayscale image can be more in line with the tissue state of the shooting area, so as to obtain a fused image, and the edge information in the fused image is converted into points, lines or surfaces in three-dimensional space, and the color information of the fused image is mapped to the generated three-dimensional model to display a more realistic state.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the target ultrasound image, the steps of obtaining the target white light original image, the target fluorescence original image and the target depth image of the corresponding patient tissue specifically include:

[0086] S21: Slice the target ultrasound image to obtain a number of image slice data;

[0087] S22: Determine the patient type corresponding to the patient tissue based on the image slice data;

[0088] S23: Based on a preset shooting tool, shoot the patient type to obtain a target white light original image, a target fluorescence original image and a target depth image of the corresponding patient tissue.

[0089] In a specific implementation, a preset distance is set for continuous historical ultrasound images for slicing to obtain a number of image slice data. After the image slice data are obtained, the correlation of the image slice nodes is analyzed to obtain the correlated slices.

[0090] Through precise image slice processing and determination of patient type, users can obtain more accurate diagnostic information.

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the target white light original image, the target fluorescence original image and the target depth image, the steps of preprocessing the patient tissue to obtain the fused image of the corresponding patient tissue specifically include:

[0092] S31: Calculate and fit the target white light original image and the target depth image to obtain the depth coefficient of any pixel point in the target white light original image;

[0093] S32: performing normalization calculation processing on the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image to obtain image normalization processing data;

[0094] S33: Perform fitting calculation based on the depth coefficient and the normalized processing data to obtain a fused image of the corresponding patient tissue.

[0095] Fusion images combine imaging data from different modalities and can provide more comprehensive and accurate diagnostic information. Furthermore, through image fusion technology, the visualization of the lesion area can be enhanced, making the lesion characteristics more obvious, thereby improving the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis.

[0096] like Figure 4 In the present embodiment, the step of calculating and fitting the target white light original image and the target depth image to obtain the depth coefficient of any pixel point in the target white light original image specifically includes:

[0097] S41: adjusting and matching the target white light original image and the target depth image so that pixel information of the target white light original image is consistent with that of the target depth image;

[0098] S42: Based on the target depth image, obtain the depth value of any pixel in the original white light image;

[0099] S43: performing numerical normalization calculation on any depth value to obtain a depth coefficient of any pixel point in the target white light original image.

[0100] By performing computational fitting on the target white light original image and the target depth image to obtain the depth coefficient of any pixel point in the target white light original image, the measurement accuracy can be improved, the image quality can be enhanced, the environmental interference can be reduced, and the computational burden can be reduced.

[0101] In this embodiment, before the step of performing normalization calculation processing on the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image to obtain image normalization processing data, the processing method further includes:

[0102] Calculating the displacement of the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image to obtain the displacement between the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image;

[0103] The target fluorescence original image is processed by calculation to obtain the target region size; the target region size is characterized by the area of ​​the region with a fluorescence intensity exceeding a preset threshold in the target fluorescence original image;

[0104] In response to the displacement amount and the target area size being both greater than a first preset value, stopping the normalization calculation processing of the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image;

[0105] In response to the displacement amount and / or the target area size being smaller than a first preset value, a normalization calculation process is performed on the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image.

[0106] By calculating the displacement of the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image, the precise displacement between the two images can be obtained. Image registration can ensure the position consistency of the same structure in the image, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent analysis.

[0107] like Figure 5 As shown, the steps of performing normalization calculation processing on the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image to obtain image normalization processing data specifically include:

[0108] S51: adjusting and matching the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image so that pixel information of the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image are consistent;

[0109] S52: performing binarization processing on the target fluorescence original image to obtain a fluorescence grayscale image;

[0110] S53: extracting the area in the fluorescence grayscale image whose grayscale value is greater than a second preset value to obtain a fluorescence area grayscale image;

[0111] S54: Overlaying the grayscale image of the fluorescent area with the original white light image to obtain image normalization processing data.

[0112] By performing normalization calculation processing on the target white light original image and the target fluorescence original image, the accuracy and efficiency of data processing can be improved.

[0113] The following is a detailed description of the implementation principle of the ultrasonic image processing method disclosed in the present invention with reference to examples:

[0114] The retrieval module is used to retrieve historical ultrasound images, slice continuous historical ultrasound images, obtain a number of image slice data, analyze the correlation of image slice nodes, obtain slices with correlation, obtain white light original images, fluorescence original images and depth images of the correlated slices, calculate and fit the white light original images and the depth images, and obtain the depth coefficient of each pixel in the white light original image; perform normalization calculation processing on the white light original image and the fluorescence original image to obtain image normalization processing data; perform fitting calculation based on the image normalization processing data and the depth coefficient of each pixel in the white light original image to obtain a fused image with depth information, and perform three-dimensional modeling of the image based on the edge information of the fused image.

[0115] Getting a slice with associativity consists of the following steps:

[0116] Determine the type of slice node, which is divided into continuous type and category type. Continuous slice nodes and category slice nodes are not related;

[0117] For any two continuous slicing nodes 1 and 2, draw a scatter plot with the continuous slicing node 1 as the independent variable and the continuous slicing node 2 as the dependent variable;

[0118] The fitting model is determined according to the scatter plot, and the fitting function is calculated according to the fitting model.

[0119] Obtaining the associated slices specifically includes the following steps:

[0120] The sum of the distances from the points in the scatter plot to the fitting function is calculated as a judgment value. If the judgment value is greater than a first preset value, the continuous type slicing node 1 and the continuous type slicing node 2 are not related. If the judgment value does not exceed the first preset value, the continuous type slicing node 1 and the continuous type slicing node 2 are related.

[0121] Among them, the distance from a point in the scatter plot to the fitting function is the minimum value of the distance from a point in the scatter plot to a point on the fitting function;

[0122] For any two category-type slice nodes one and category-type slice nodes two;

[0123] The data in the category-type slice node 1 is classified according to the categories in the category-type slice node 1, the number of data in each category is counted, and the proportion of data in each category is calculated, and the data is arranged from small to large to obtain a1, a2…, a n ;

[0124] The data in the category-type slice node 2 is classified according to the categories in the category-type slice node 2, the number of data in each category is counted, and the proportion of data in each category is calculated, and arranged from small to large to obtain b1, b2…, b n ;

[0125] calculate If A is greater than the second preset value, there is no correlation between category type slice node one and category type slice node two. If A does not exceed the second preset value, there is a correlation between category type slice node one and category type slice node two.

[0126] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the purpose of performing slice node correlation analysis is to find out the nodes in the image data that play an analytical role. Since the nodes that play a role in the analysis have certain correlations with each other, nodes that have no correlation with the rest of the nodes in the rest of the data will inevitably have little effect on the analysis and can be discarded and not considered.

[0127] The calculation and fitting of the original white light image and the depth image to obtain the depth coefficient of each pixel in the original white light image includes the following steps:

[0128] Adjust and match the white light original image and the depth image so that the white light original image and the depth image have the same field of view and pixel information;

[0129] Obtain the depth value of each pixel in the original white light image;

[0130] The depth value of each pixel in the original white light image is numerically normalized and calculated to obtain the depth coefficient of each pixel in the original white light image.

[0131] The normalization calculation processing of the white light original image and the fluorescence original image to obtain the image normalization processing data specifically includes the following steps:

[0132] Performing displacement calculation processing on the white light original image and the fluorescence original image to obtain the displacement between the white light original image and the fluorescence original image;

[0133] Processing the original fluorescence image, calculating the size of the region having a fluorescence intensity above a specified threshold, and obtaining the region size;

[0134] Determine whether the ratio of the displacement amount to the area size between the white light original image and the fluorescent original image is greater than a first preset value;

[0135] If the ratio of the displacement amount to the area size between the white light original image and the fluorescence original image is greater than a first preset value, then the normalization calculation of the white light original image and the fluorescence original image is stopped;

[0136] If the ratio of the displacement amount between the white light original image and the fluorescence original image to the size of the region is smaller than a first preset value, a normalization calculation of the white light original image and the fluorescence original image is performed.

[0137] The normalization calculation specifically includes the following steps:

[0138] Adjust and match the white light original image and the fluorescence original image so that the white light original image and the fluorescence original image have the same field of view and pixel information;

[0139] Binarize the original fluorescence image to obtain a fluorescence grayscale image;

[0140] Extracting regions in the fluorescence grayscale image where the grayscale value is greater than a second preset value to obtain a fluorescence region grayscale image;

[0141] The grayscale image of the fluorescence area is superimposed with the original white light image to obtain a normalized fused image.

[0142] A fitting calculation is performed based on the image normalization processing data and the depth coefficient of each pixel in the original white light image to obtain a fused image with depth information, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0143] Extract the depth coefficient of each pixel in the fluorescence area of ​​the normalized fusion image;

[0144] According to the depth coefficient of each pixel in the fluorescent area, the grayscale value of the pixel in the grayscale image of the fluorescent area is corrected according to the grayscale correction formula to obtain a corrected grayscale image of the fluorescent area;

[0145] The corrected grayscale image of the fluorescence area is superimposed with the original white light image to form a fused image with depth information.

[0146] The grayscale correction formula is:

[0147] G 修正 =G 初始 ·(1+D·δ);

[0148] In the formula, G 修正 is the corrected pixel gray value, G 初始 is the initial gray value of the pixel, D is the depth coefficient, and δ is the correction coefficient.

[0149] The correction coefficient range is: 0.01<δ≤0.05.

[0150] Based on the edge information of the fused image, the three-dimensional modeling of the image specifically includes the following steps:

[0151] Convert edge information in the fused image into points, lines or surfaces in three-dimensional space;

[0152] Use point cloud data or voxelized data to reconstruct surfaces and generate smooth three-dimensional surfaces;

[0153] Map the color information of the image to the generated 3D model.

[0154] When acquiring the white light original image, the fluorescence original image and the depth image, the present embodiment tries to make the field of view angle and the pixel size consistent, uses the white light original image and the depth image of the shooting area to calculate the depth coefficient, and uses the depth coefficient to correct the grayscale value of the pixel points of the grayscale image of the fluorescence area. The grayscale value is adjusted by the depth change so that the brightness change in the grayscale image can better fit the tissue state of the shooting area, thereby obtaining a fused image, converting the edge information in the fused image into points, lines or surfaces in three-dimensional space, and mapping the color information of the fused image to the generated three-dimensional model to display a more realistic state.
