Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application date of July 30, 2019, application number 201910695726.4, and invention name “A method for ultrasonic imaging of hip joint and a hip joint imaging system”. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to an ultrasonic imaging method of a hip joint and a hip joint imaging system. Background Art
[0003] The Graf method is the most commonly used ultrasound evaluation method for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It is a static method of DDH ultrasound examination pioneered by Austrian scholar Graf. This method has the advantages of normalization, standardization, repeatability, and objectivity of reference indicators. Therefore, it is widely used throughout the world, especially in German-speaking countries in Europe. The Graf method requires obtaining a standard coronal section of the hip joint for measurement. The long axis of the probe is required to be parallel to the axis of the body (probe tilt may lead to overdiagnosis), and a standard image of the coronal section of the hip joint is obtained at the greater trochanter of the femur. And the coronal section image needs to meet certain structural conditions, otherwise it cannot be used.
[0004] Therefore, when performing DDH ultrasound examination according to the Graf method, high requirements are placed on the section image. If the section is not standard, there will be deviations in the measurement. Therefore, how to obtain more accurate section images has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0065] The ultrasonic imaging method of the hip joint in the present application is described in detail below. An embodiment of the present application provides an ultrasonic imaging method of the hip joint, which is applied to a hip joint imaging system 10, and is particularly suitable for a hip joint imaging system 10 including a touch display screen, for inputting touch screen operations by contacting the touch display screen.
[0066] See also Figure 3 , the ultrasonic imaging method embodiment of the hip joint in the present application includes:
[0067] 301. Transmit ultrasonic waves to the target hip joint.
[0068] Among them, based on the above Figure 1 The hip joint imaging system 10 can send ultrasound to the target hip joint through a two-dimensional probe.
[0069] Generally, ultrasound waves can be transmitted to the target hip joint from a preset angle or distance through a two-dimensional probe. For example, the two-dimensional probe can be passed along the surface of the target hip joint to transmit ultrasound waves to the target hip joint from different positions or angles.
[0070] 302. Receive the ultrasonic echo of the target hip joint.
[0071] After transmitting ultrasonic waves to the target hip joint through the two-dimensional probe, the ultrasonic echoes returned from the target hip joint are also received through the two-dimensional probe.
[0072] For example, if the two-dimensional probe is passed along the surface of the target hip joint and ultrasonic waves are transmitted to the target hip joint from different positions or angles, the two-dimensional probe can also receive ultrasonic echoes returned by the target hip joint from different positions or angles.
[0073] 303. Determine at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint based on the ultrasonic echo.
[0074] After receiving the ultrasonic echo returned from the target hip joint, at least one cross-sectional image of the target hip joint is determined according to the ultrasonic echo.
[0075] In one possible implementation, after receiving an ultrasonic echo returned from a target hip joint, at least one two-dimensional ultrasonic image of the target hip joint is generated based on the ultrasonic echo, and then at least one cross-sectional image is determined from the at least one two-dimensional ultrasonic image.
[0076] Specifically, after obtaining at least one two-dimensional ultrasound image, the at least one two-dimensional ultrasound image can be screened, and ultrasound images that do not meet the preset conditions can be deleted to obtain at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint. For example, ultrasound images that do not include the target hip joint can be deleted, or ultrasound images that include too few features of the target hip joint can be deleted to obtain at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint.
[0077] In another possible implementation, after receiving the ultrasonic echo returned from the target hip joint, at least one two-dimensional ultrasonic image of the target hip joint is generated according to the ultrasonic echo. In addition, a sensor can be installed on the two-dimensional probe, and the sensor is used to collect the position information of the two-dimensional probe. In combination with at least one two-dimensional ultrasonic image and the position information, the volume data of the target hip joint can be obtained. Then, at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint is determined from the volume data of the target hip joint.
[0078] Specifically, the sensor can be a magnetic field-based sensor, an inertial sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like. When an ultrasonic wave is transmitted to the target hip joint through a two-dimensional probe, the sensor determines the change in the position of the probe, and then constructs the volume data of the target hip joint according to the change in the position of the two-dimensional probe and the returned ultrasonic wave. For example, the distance between the sensor and the two-dimensional probe is known, and the sensor can return the angle value of the change of the two-dimensional probe. The change in the position of the two-dimensional probe and the sensor can be determined according to the change angle of the two-dimensional probe, and then the ultrasonic echo received by the two-dimensional probe at different positions is combined to determine the ultrasonic image corresponding to the two-dimensional probe at different positions, and construct the volume data of the target hip joint. After obtaining the volume data, at least one cross-sectional image can be obtained according to the volume data. For example, the volume data of the target hip joint can be understood as a three-dimensional image of the target hip joint, the target axis can be determined, and then the target hip joint in the volume data is rotated and cut along a preset direction to obtain the at least one cross-sectional image, or the volume data of the target hip joint is parallel cut to obtain the at least one cross-sectional image. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, by setting a sensor on a two-dimensional probe, volume data of the target hip joint can be constructed, thereby obtaining at least one cross-sectional image including the characteristics of the target hip joint. The obtained cross-sectional image is more standard, reducing the error of manually obtaining the cross-sectional image.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, after obtaining at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint, the at least one cross-sectional view may also be displayed on a display. For example, if an ultrasonic wave is transmitted to the target hip joint through a two-dimensional probe and an ultrasonic echo returned by the target hip joint is received, and an ultrasonic image is generated according to the ultrasonic echo, the ultrasonic image may be displayed in real time on the display, so that the user may intuitively observe the morphology of the target hip joint.
[0080] 304. Analyze at least one cross-sectional diagram to obtain analysis data of the at least one cross-sectional diagram.
[0081] After obtaining at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint, the at least one cross-sectional view is analyzed to obtain analysis data of the at least one cross-sectional view. The analysis data is used to measure the standard degree of the cross-sectional view.
[0082] Specifically, the standard degree of the cross-sectional image can be measured by determining whether each feature in the cross-sectional image is a standard feature. For example, the features in the standard cross-sectional image of the target hip joint may include: the strong echo below the target hip joint is the junction of cartilage and bone (femoral epiphysis); the center of the target hip joint is the femoral head, which is an oval low-echo area with scattered medium-echo points inside; the outer side of the femoral head is surrounded by the high-echo synovial folds, joint capsule, labrum and low-echo cartilaginous acetabulum in sequence, and gradually extends to the high-echo bony acetabular rim above the femoral head.
[0083] In an optional embodiment, the standard probability value of at least one cross-sectional view can be determined by deep learning, and the standard probability value is proportional to the standard degree of the cross-sectional view; the standard probability value of at least one cross-sectional view is used as the analysis data of at least one cross-sectional view. Among them, the deep learning in the embodiment of the present application can be a classification network, a convolutional neural network, a recursive neural network, a recurrent neural network and the like deep learning method. Specifically, it can be that a large number of standard cross-sectional views are first used for model training to obtain the parameters of each tissue feature of the standard cross-sectional view, and then after obtaining the at least one cross-sectional view, the at least one cross-sectional view is substituted into the model to obtain the analysis data of at least one cross-sectional view. In actual applications, which specific deep learning method to use can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario. This is only an example and is not limited.
[0084] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the probability that at least one cross-section image is a standard cross-section image can be determined, so that at least one cross-section image can be determined later based on the probability that at least one cross-section image is a standard cross-section image, and the standard degree of at least one cross-section image can be determined more accurately, making the determined standard cross-section image more standard. Moreover, by training the model with a large number of standard cross-section images, a preset standard cross-section model can be obtained, and further learning can be performed through subsequent standard images. Therefore, the probability that at least one cross-section image is a standard cross-section image can be output by the trained model.
[0085] In another optional embodiment, the tissue features of each cross-section in at least one cross-section are detected; the standard score of each cross-section is determined according to the morphology of the tissue features of each cross-section and the preset weight information of each tissue feature, and the standard score is directly proportional to the standard degree of each cross-section; the standard score of each cross-section is used as the analysis data of each cross-section. Exemplarily, if it is detected that the features included in one of the cross-sections are only feature 1 of the target hip joint: the center of the hip joint is the femoral head, and feature 2: the strong echo below the hip joint is the junction of cartilage and bone, the weight value of feature 1 is 0.2, and the weight value of feature 2 is 0.2, then the standard degree score of the cross-section can be obtained as 0.4. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the standard degree of at least one cross-section can be scored to obtain a standard score value for measuring the standard degree of at least one cross-section, so that the standard degree of at least one cross-section can be determined more accurately, making the determined standard cross-section more standard.
[0086] Specifically, when the analysis data includes a score value of the standard degree of at least one cross-sectional image, the specific analysis process may be: after obtaining at least one cross-sectional image, detect the tissue features included in the at least one cross-sectional image, for example, detect the junction of cartilage and bone, femoral head, lower edge of ilium, etc. included in the at least one cross-sectional image. The number of features to be detected is N, where N is a positive integer. For example, the value of N may be the number of tissue features included in the standard cross-sectional image. Then, the score of each tissue feature is determined based on the position, size, shape, etc. of each tissue feature detected. i , and then calculate the standard score value f of at least one slice diagram according to the first preset formula view , the preset formula can be, Among them, W i is the weight value of each tissue feature and can be preset.
[0087] It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, in addition to measuring the standardization of a cross-sectional view through the aforementioned standard score value and the probability of being a standard cross-sectional view, the standardization of at least one cross-sectional view may also be measured by whether the cross-sectional view includes a preset tissue feature contour, or whether the tissue feature conforms to a preset morphology, etc. The specific method can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario and is not limited here.
[0088] In an optional implementation, after obtaining the analysis data of each cross-sectional view, each cross-sectional view and the analysis data corresponding to each cross-sectional view may also be displayed on a display, so that the user can intuitively observe the cross-sectional view and analysis data of the target hip joint.
[0089] 305. Determine a standard slice diagram from at least one slice diagram according to the analysis data.
[0090] After obtaining the analysis data of at least one cross-sectional view, at least one standard cross-sectional view is determined from the at least one cross-sectional view according to the analysis data of the at least one cross-sectional view. The at least one standard cross-sectional view can be one standard cross-sectional view or multiple standard cross-sectional views, where multiple refers to two or more. The at least one standard cross-sectional view can be understood as a cross-sectional view with a standard degree greater than a threshold, and the standard degree can be measured by the analysis data. The standard cross-sectional view may also be referred to as a coronal cross-sectional view in the present application.
[0091] In an optional embodiment, when a standard cross-section is determined, after obtaining analysis data that measures the degree of standardization of at least one cross-section, a cross-section with the highest degree of standardization can be determined as the standard cross-section. For example, if the analysis data includes a standard score value for at least one cross-section, the cross-section with the highest standard score can be determined as the standard cross-section. For another example, if the analysis data includes the probability that at least one cross-section is a standard cross-section, the cross-section with the highest probability of being a standard cross-section can be determined as the standard cross-section. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the cross-section with the highest degree of standardization in at least one cross-section can be determined as the standard cross-section, and a standard cross-section with the highest degree of standardization can be obtained. Compared with manual measurement, the measurement error can be reduced, and the most standard standard cross-section can be determined.
[0092] In an optional embodiment, when multiple standard cross-sectional views are determined, after obtaining analysis data that measures the degree of standardization of at least one cross-sectional view, a preset number of cross-sectional views with a degree of standardization higher than a threshold value can be determined from at least one cross-sectional view as the multiple standard cross-sectional views. For example, if the analysis data includes a standard score value for at least one cross-sectional view, then the cross-sectional view with a standard score value higher than the threshold value can be determined as the standard cross-sectional view. For another example, if the analysis data includes a probability that at least one cross-sectional view is a standard cross-sectional view, then a preset number of cross-sectional views with a probability of being a standard cross-sectional view higher than the threshold value can be determined as the standard cross-sectional view. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, multiple standard cross-sectional views can be determined, and multiple standard cross-sectional views can be used simultaneously to more accurately observe the target hip joint.
[0093] In an optional embodiment, the number of determined standard cross-sections can be obtained based on the user's input data. Specifically, before determining the standard cross-sections, the input data input by the user can be received, and the number of standard cross-sections can be determined based on the input data. For example, based on the user's input data, the number of standard cross-sections is determined to be M, where M is a positive integer. Then, from at least one cross-section obtained, M cross-sections with a standard degree higher than a threshold are determined as standard cross-sections. When M=1, the cross-section with the highest standard degree can be directly determined from the at least one cross-section as the standard cross-section. For another example, the preset number can be determined by user input. When the user is set to a single output mode, that is, M=1, only one cross-section with the highest standard degree is determined as the standard cross-section. When the user is set to a multi-output mode, multiple cross-sections with a higher standard degree can be determined for the user to select. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the number of standard cross-sections outputted can be controlled by the user, and more standard cross-sections can be obtained to observe the target hip joint more comprehensively.
[0094] 306. Display the standard cross-sectional diagram and the analysis data of the standard cross-sectional diagram.
[0095] After the standard cross-sectional diagram is obtained, the standard cross-sectional diagram and the analysis data corresponding to the standard cross-sectional diagram can be displayed on the display.
[0096] For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the analysis data is the standard probability value of the standard cross-section diagram, the standard cross-section diagram and the corresponding standard probability value can be displayed simultaneously, wherein the standard probability value can be directly displayed by a numerical value, or can be marked by some representative colors and / or shapes, for example, green represents a standard degree above 80%, and yellow represents a standard degree below 80%. For another example, a square represents a standard degree above 80%, a triangle represents a standard degree below 80%, and so on. Of course, a reference graph of the standard probability value can also be displayed at the same time to more clearly know the standard degree represented by the standard probability value. For example, the first range is 80% to 100%, the second range is 60% to 79%, and the third range is below 60%. Of course, different range intervals can be marked with different colors, which are not specifically limited here. As Figure 5As shown, when the analysis data is a standard score, the standard cross-section diagram and the corresponding standard score can be displayed at the same time. Of course, the standard score can also be directly displayed by a numerical value, or it can be marked by some representative colors and / or shapes, for example, green represents a standard degree of more than 80%, and yellow represents a standard degree of less than 80%. For example, a square represents a standard degree of more than 80%, and a triangle represents a standard degree of less than 80%. Of course, the reference diagram of the standard score can also be displayed at the same time to more clearly know the standard degree represented by the standard score. For example, the full score is 10 points, wherein the first interval is 8 points to 10 points, representing the highest standard degree, the second interval is 6 points to 8 points, excluding 8 points, representing the second standard degree, and the third interval is less than 6 points, representing a lower standard degree. Among them, each interval can be marked with different colors, and each interval can represent the change of the standard degree by the depth of the color as the score increases, that is, the larger the score, the darker the color.
[0097] In an optional embodiment, after determining the standard cross-sectional view, a color-coded image corresponding to the standard cross-sectional view can be generated based on the correspondence between the analysis data and a preset relationship, wherein the color-coded image is used to identify the analysis data of the standard cross-sectional view. Then, while displaying the standard cross-sectional view, the corresponding color-coded image is superimposed on the standard cross-sectional view, or the corresponding color-coded image can be displayed around at least one cross-sectional view. In addition, the analysis data can be used to measure the degree of standardization of the standard cross-sectional view, and the degree of standardization can correspond to a color. For example, if the degree of standardization is high, it can correspond to a more eye-catching color, such as green, red, etc. If the degree of standardization is low, it can correspond to a lighter color, such as gray of different grayscales, and the lower the degree of standardization, the lower the corresponding grayscale value. For example, if the standardization degree is high, it can correspond to a more eye-catching color, such as green, red, etc. If the standardization degree is low, it can correspond to a lighter color, such as gray of different grayscales, and the lower the standardization degree, the lower the corresponding grayscale value. For example, Figure 6 As shown, a color-coded image can be displayed around at least one standard slice image, that is, Figure 6 601 shown in FIG. 602. For another example, the color-coded diagram may also include the numerical values of the analysis data of the standard cross-sectional diagram, such as Figure 7 As shown, the color-coded diagram includes the analysis data of the standard cross-sectional diagram, and is displayed superimposed on the cross-sectional diagram, i.e., "score: 0.95", and the displayed color can be determined based on the analysis data and the preset color correspondence. For example, if the analysis data is the standard probability of the standard cross-sectional diagram, when the standard probability value is higher, the displayed color is closer to green, to indicate that the standard degree of the standard cross-sectional diagram is higher; when the standard probability value is lower, the displayed color can be closer to red, or other eye-catching colors, to indicate that the standard degree of the standard cross-sectional diagram is lower. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the standard degree of at least one standard cross-sectional diagram can be intuitively displayed by means of a color-coded diagram, so that the operator can observe the target hip joint more intuitively.
[0098] In an optional embodiment of the present application, after a plurality of standard cross-sections are determined, the position or size of at least one standard cross-section displayed in the display can be adjusted according to the standardization degree of at least one standard cross-section. For example, the higher the standardization degree of a standard cross-section, the larger the size of the standard cross-section displayed. For example, a cross-section with the highest standardization degree can be determined to be displayed as a standard cross-section, and other determined standard cross-sections can be displayed as alternative cross-sections. Moreover, analytical data measuring the standardization degree of at least one cross-section can be displayed simultaneously. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, when there are multiple standard cross-sections, they can be displayed according to the standardization degree of at least one standard cross-section, so that the operator can more intuitively determine the accurate standard cross-section.
[0099] Therefore, in the present application, an ultrasonic wave can be emitted to the target hip joint through a two-dimensional probe to obtain an ultrasonic echo signal; then, at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint is obtained according to the ultrasonic echo signal. According to the at least one cross-sectional view, analysis data of the at least one cross-sectional view is obtained, wherein the analysis data can be used to measure the standard degree of the at least one cross-sectional view. According to the analysis data, a standard cross-sectional view is determined from the at least one cross-sectional view, and the standard cross-sectional view and the corresponding analysis data are displayed. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint can be acquired by a two-dimensional probe, which can reduce the cost relative to a three-dimensional probe. The embodiment of the present application analyzes the at least one cross-sectional view obtained to obtain analysis data for measuring the standard degree of the cross-sectional view, and determines the standard cross-sectional view according to the analysis data, so that a more standard cross-sectional view can be determined as the standard cross-sectional view. Compared with manually selecting a standard cross-sectional view, the embodiment of the present application can more directly select a cross-sectional view with a higher standard degree as the standard cross-sectional view according to the analysis data that can measure the standard degree of each cross-sectional view, and can obtain a standard cross-sectional view with a higher standard degree.
[0100] Combined with the above Figure 3 , see Figure 8 , the present application also provides an ultrasonic imaging method for a hip joint, as described below.
[0101] 801. Receive an instruction to acquire an image of a target hip joint.
[0102] Among them, combined with the above Figure 1 An ultrasound programming system is provided to receive instructions for acquiring an image of a target hip joint.
[0103] The acquisition instruction may be input by a user through an input device, such as a keyboard, a mouse, or the like.
[0104] For example, the user may input the identification, title, or storage location of the image of the target hip joint through the keyboard to obtain an instruction for acquiring the image of the target hip joint.
[0105] 802. Acquire at least one cross-sectional image of the target hip joint from a database according to an image acquisition instruction.
[0106] After receiving an image acquisition instruction for a target hip joint, at least one cross-sectional image of the target hip joint is acquired from a database according to the image acquisition instruction.
[0107] The at least one cross-sectional view may be stored in a database as a picture, or may be stored in a data block in the form of a video, including a frame of the video and a frame of ultrasound image of the target hip joint.
[0108] Among them, if the database stores video data of the target hip joint, after obtaining the video data, each frame of ultrasound image in the video data can also be screened to determine that each frame of ultrasound image in the video data includes an ultrasound image of the target hip joint, and obtain at least one cross-sectional image of the target hip joint.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, at least one cross-sectional view can be obtained from a database, that is, an offline analysis of the target hip joint can be achieved. Furthermore, by analyzing the at least one cross-sectional view obtained, analytical data for measuring the standardization of the cross-sectional view is obtained, and a standard cross-sectional view is determined based on the analytical data, and a more standard cross-sectional view can be determined as the standard cross-sectional view. Compared with manually selecting a standard cross-sectional view, an embodiment of the present application can more directly select a cross-sectional view with a higher degree of standardization as a standard cross-sectional view based on analytical data that can measure the standardization of each cross-sectional view, and a standard cross-sectional view with a higher degree of standardization can be obtained.
[0115] See also Fig. 9 , the present application also provides another method for ultrasonic imaging of the hip joint, as described below.
[0116] 901. Obtain at least one cross-sectional image of a target hip joint.
[0117] Among them, based on the above Figure 1 The hip joint imaging system 10 can send ultrasound to the target hip joint through a two-dimensional probe, and then obtain a cross-sectional image indicating the target hip joint through the ultrasound echo returned by the target hip joint. The specific steps can refer to the aforementioned steps 301-303.
[0118] Alternatively, at least one cross-sectional view of the target hip joint may be read from a database. For specific steps, refer to the aforementioned steps 801-802.
[0119] 902. Obtain analysis data of at least one slice diagram.
[0120] After obtaining at least one cross-sectional view, analysis data of the at least one cross-sectional view may be obtained. The specific method of obtaining the analysis data of the cross-sectional view may refer to the aforementioned step 304, which will not be described in detail here.
[0121] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, after a cross-sectional view of a target hip joint is acquired, the cross-sectional view can be analyzed to obtain analysis data of the cross-sectional view, thereby achieving real-time analysis of the cross-sectional view.
[0122] 903. Display at least one cross-sectional image in a first display area of the image display interface.
[0123] After obtaining at least one cross-sectional view, the at least one cross-sectional view may be displayed in a first display area of the display area.
[0124] It should be understood that in the implementation manner of the present application, the at least one cross-sectional image is acquired in the order in which the at least one cross-sectional image is acquired, and is displayed in sequence in the first display area of the image display interface.
[0125] 904. Display the analysis data in the second display area of the image display interface.
[0126] Wherein, while at least one cross-sectional image is displayed in the first display area of the image display interface, analysis data can also be displayed in the second display area.
[0127] The first display area and the second display area may be independent of each other, or the second display area may be located on the first display area. Fig.10 As shown, the cross-sectional view can be displayed in the first display area, and the standard probability of the cross-sectional view can be displayed in the second display area. Fig.11 As shown, the cross-sectional view is displayed in the first display area, and the standard score of the cross-sectional view is displayed in the second display area. Of course, in some embodiments, the second display area may also be located on the first display area.
[0128] In some possible implementations, assuming that the user needs to hide the second display area, the system can receive a hiding instruction triggered by the user for the second display area. In response to the hiding instruction, the system automatically hides the second display area, thereby clearly displaying only the cross-sectional view.
[0129] In some possible implementations, the system may simultaneously display multiple cross-sectional views and the analysis data corresponding to the multiple cross-sectional views, so that the user can clearly know the standardization level of each cross-sectional view, which is convenient for further screening.
[0130] In the embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional view and the corresponding analysis data can be displayed in real time. For example, the user can transmit ultrasound to the target hip joint through a two-dimensional ultrasound probe, and receive the ultrasound echo of the target hip joint to obtain the corresponding ultrasound image, i.e., the cross-sectional view. The cross-sectional view is then analyzed to obtain a standard score for the cross-sectional view, and the cross-sectional view and the standard score are displayed at the same time, so that the user can observe the standard degree of the currently acquired ultrasound image in real time, so as to learn the method of acquiring the cross-sectional view of the target hip joint, or determine the standard cross-sectional view according to the real-time standard degree.
[0131] In a possible implementation, after the at least one cross-sectional view and the corresponding analysis data are acquired, the at least one cross-sectional view and the corresponding analysis data may be saved.
[0132] In one possible implementation, after obtaining the at least one cross-sectional view and the corresponding analysis data, at least one standard cross-sectional view can be determined based on the analysis data of the at least one cross-sectional view. The method for determining the at least one standard cross-sectional view can refer to the relevant description in the aforementioned step 305 and will not be repeated here.
[0133] In a possible implementation, after acquiring the at least one cross-sectional view and the corresponding analysis data, the user's input data may be received, and a standard cross-sectional view may be determined from the at least one cross-sectional view according to the user's input data. For example, the cross-sectional view of the target hip joint and the corresponding analysis data may be displayed in real time on the display interface, and the user may determine the cross-sectional view with the highest degree of standardization as the standard cross-sectional view by observing the displayed analysis data, and select the cross-sectional view with the highest degree of standardization as the standard cross-sectional view through the input device.
[0134] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the ultrasound image of the target hip joint and the corresponding analysis data can be displayed in real time, so that the user can observe the ultrasound image of the target hip joint and the standard degree more intuitively, can be used for teaching or learning how to obtain the cross-sectional view of the target hip joint, and can allow the user to more accurately determine the standard cross-sectional view of the target hip joint.
