Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an ultrasound imaging device, a terminal device, and an ultrasound examination method. Background Technology

[0002] When doctors use ultrasound equipment to examine patients, they obtain many cross-sectional ultrasound images. Doctors typically issue examination reports based on these images and then categorize and archive them by patient. Since a patient's multiple ultrasound images are independent of each other, the order in which these images are displayed when a doctor reviews them is uncertain; they are generally displayed in the order they were generated. However, this method fails to reflect the inherent relationships between the various ultrasound images, resulting in low efficiency for doctors in reviewing examination results. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Similar elements in different embodiments are referred to by related similar element reference numerals. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods. In some cases, certain operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification. This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0026] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can be rearranged or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0027] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first" and "second," are used only to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. The terms "connection" and "linkage" used in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0028] Multiple ultrasound images obtained from a patient's examination often have a certain correlation. Currently, when doctors review these images, the display of ultrasound images from different patients is irregular, leading to a sense of disjointedness and requiring significant time investment. However, this invention displays each ultrasound image in a preset slice order. Therefore, once doctors become accustomed to this method, they can quickly locate the desired ultrasound image when reviewing the results of different patients, resulting in high work efficiency. This is particularly suitable for ultrasound case teaching, patient review, and other similar applications. The following examples illustrate the solution in detail.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ultrasound examination method provided by the present invention includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain examination results based on an examination protocol. The examination protocol guides the examination of one or more preset sections of one or more sites by providing the user with a corresponding workflow to complete the examination of each preset section. The workflow may be, for example, a workflow based on a disease or organ. The examination results include ultrasound images obtained during the execution of the examination protocol and at least a portion of the examination protocol itself.

[0030] The inspection results can be generated by the device itself; for example, it can receive instructions to execute an inspection protocol and, in response to those instructions, execute the inspection protocol. The inspection protocol guides the user to complete ultrasound scans of multiple preset sections. Based on the user's actions guided by the inspection protocol, ultrasound images of multiple sections are obtained. The ultrasound images of the sections obtained during the execution of the inspection protocol, along with at least a portion of the inspection protocol, are saved to obtain the inspection results, and the execution of the inspection protocol ends. Saving at least a portion of the inspection protocol to the inspection results serves two purposes: firstly, it allows for the simultaneous uploading of ultrasound images and the at least a portion of the inspection protocol later; secondly, it allows external devices to obtain the mapping relationship between ultrasound images and sections, as well as a preset display protocol, based on the at least a portion of the inspection protocol.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the scheme for generating inspection results by the device itself includes step 2: receiving a transmission command, and in response to the transmission command, transmitting the inspection results to an external device, thereby causing the external device to perform the following actions: After receiving an instruction to view the examination results, the external device responds to the instruction by determining the mapping relationship between the ultrasound images and sections of the examination results according to at least part of the examination protocol. Based on the mapping relationship, it displays the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on its own display interface in a preset section display order according to the preset display protocol.

[0032] External devices typically lack examination protocols. Although they obtain multiple ultrasound images from the examination results, they do not know which section each ultrasound image belongs to, i.e., they do not know the mapping relationship between ultrasound images and sections. Therefore, existing technologies usually display the ultrasound images in the order they were generated. However, each doctor's examination habits are different, and even the same doctor's conditions vary when examining different patients, leading to different order of ultrasound images obtained using the same examination protocol. Consequently, the order of ultrasound images displayed on the external device also differs, failing to reflect the inherent relationship between the various ultrasound images and resulting in low efficiency for doctors reviewing examination results. This invention integrates at least a portion of the examination protocol with multiple ultrasound images and transmits them to the external device along with the examination results. This allows the external device to determine the mapping relationship between the ultrasound images and sections in the examination results based on the at least a portion of the examination protocol. In other words, the external device knows the section to which each ultrasound image in the examination results belongs, and can then display the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on the external device's display interface according to the preset section display order in the preset display protocol, based on the mapping relationship. It is evident that ultrasound images obtained using the same examination protocol are displayed on external devices according to the same preset display order based on their respective sections. This means that the ultrasound images of each patient seen by the doctor on the external device are displayed in the same order, as long as they are obtained using the same examination protocol. This facilitates the doctor's comparison of differences between different patients and also helps the doctor quickly find the desired ultrasound image based on this fixed display order, thus improving the doctor's efficiency in reviewing examination results.

[0033] The preset display protocol includes a preset slice display order, specifically the display order of ultrasound images from various preset slices within the examination protocol. The preset display protocol can be determined in several ways. For example, if the examination results include at least a portion of the examination protocols containing the preset display protocol, it can be directly obtained from the examination results. Alternatively, if the examination results do not contain a preset display protocol but include other content such as the protocol identifier (e.g., the protocol name or ID), the preset display protocol can be obtained from the local machine or an external device based on this other content. If the protocol identifier is pre-associated with a preset display protocol, the associated preset display protocol can be directly obtained from the local machine or an external device based on the identifier. Alternatively, the corresponding examination protocol can be obtained from the local machine or an external device first, and since the examination protocol may include a display protocol, the preset display protocol can be obtained indirectly from the obtained examination protocol. Once the preset display protocol is obtained, the ultrasound images from each slice in the examination results can be displayed on the display interface according to the preset slice display order within the preset display protocol, based on the mapping relationship. The preset slice display order in the preset display protocol is preset, either by the system at the factory or by the doctor.

[0034] Of course, in some embodiments, the inspection results can also be obtained from other devices, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in step 1, a request to obtain inspection results can be sent to an external device; the inspection results fed back by the external device based on the request can be received. The inspection results are obtained based on an inspection protocol; the inspection protocol guides the user to complete ultrasound scans of multiple preset sections; the inspection results include ultrasound images obtained during the execution of the inspection protocol and at least a portion of the inspection protocol.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the scheme for generating examination results by an external device includes step 2'. In this step, an instruction for viewing the examination results is received. In response to the instruction, the mapping relationship between the ultrasound images and sections of the examination results is determined according to at least part of the examination protocol. Based on the mapping relationship, the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results are displayed on the display interface according to the preset section display order in the preset display protocol. The specific process has been described in detail in step 2 above and will not be repeated here.

[0036] The above method can be applied to ultrasound imaging equipment as well as other terminal devices. Several examples are provided below for illustration.

[0037] One embodiment of the ultrasonic imaging device, such as Figure 3As shown, it includes an ultrasonic probe 10, a transmit / receive control circuit, a processor 20, a human-machine interface device 70, and a memory 80.

[0038] The ultrasound probe 10 includes a transducer (not shown) composed of multiple array elements arranged in an array. The array elements are used to emit ultrasonic waves according to an excitation electrical signal, or to convert received ultrasonic waves into electrical signals. Therefore, each array element can be used to realize the mutual conversion between electrical pulse signals and ultrasonic waves, thereby enabling the emission of ultrasonic waves to the biological tissue of the target object, and also to receive the echo of ultrasonic waves reflected back from the tissue.

[0039] The transmit / receive control circuit is used to control the ultrasound probe 10 to transmit ultrasound waves to the region of interest within biological tissue and to receive the echoes of the ultrasound waves. Specifically, the transmit / receive control circuit includes a transmit control circuit 30 and a receive control circuit 40.

[0040] The transmission control circuit 30 is used to excite the ultrasound probe 10 to emit ultrasound waves toward the target object according to the control of the processor 20, for example, to excite the ultrasound probe 10 to emit ultrasound waves toward the region of interest in biological tissue.

[0041] The receiving control circuit 40 is used to receive ultrasound echoes returned from a target object (such as a region of interest within biological tissue) via the ultrasound probe 10 to obtain an ultrasound echo signal, and can also process the ultrasound echo signal. The receiving control circuit 40 may include one or more amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), etc.

[0042] The human-computer interaction device 70 is used for human-computer interaction, such as outputting visual information and receiving user input. The human-computer interaction device 70 includes an input device for receiving user input, which may be a keyboard, operation buttons, mouse, trackball, touchpad, or a touchscreen integrated with a display. The human-computer interaction device 70 also includes a display for outputting visual information.

[0043] The memory 80 is used to store various types of data.

[0044] The ultrasound imaging device may also include a beamforming module 50 and an IQ demodulation module 60.

[0045] The beamforming module 50 is signal-connected to the receiving control circuit 40 and is used to perform beamforming processing such as delay and weighted summation on the echo signal. Because the distance from the ultrasonic receiving point in the tested tissue to the receiving array element varies, the channel data of the same receiving point output by different receiving array elements has delay differences, requiring delay processing to align the phases and perform weighted summation on the different channel data of the same receiving point to obtain the beamformed ultrasonic image data. The ultrasonic image data output by the beamforming module 50 is also called radio frequency (RF) data. The beamforming module 50 outputs the RF data to the IQ demodulation module 60. In some embodiments, the beamforming module 50 can also output the RF data to the memory 80 for caching or storage, or directly output the RF data to the processor 20 for image processing.

[0046] The beamforming module 50 can perform the above functions using hardware, firmware, or software. The beamforming module 50 can be integrated into the processor 20 or configured separately; this invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0047] The IQ demodulation module 60 removes the signal carrier through IQ demodulation, extracts the tissue structure information contained in the signal, and filters to remove noise. The signal obtained at this time is called the baseband signal (IQ data pair). The IQ demodulation module 60 outputs the IQ data pair to the processor 20 for image processing. In some embodiments, the IQ demodulation module 60 also outputs the IQ data pair to the memory 80 for buffering or storage, so that the processor 20 can read the data from the memory 80 for subsequent image processing.

[0048] The IQ demodulation module 60 can also perform the above functions in hardware, firmware, or software. Similarly, the IQ demodulation module 60 can be integrated into the processor 20 or set up separately; this invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0049] The processor 20 is configured to process input data according to specific logic instructions. It is a central controller circuit (CPU), one or more microprocessors, a graphics controller circuit (GPU), or any other electronic component. It can control peripheral electronic components according to input instructions or predetermined instructions, or perform data reading and / or saving on the memory 80. It can also process input data by executing programs in the memory 80. For example, it can perform one or more processing operations on the acquired ultrasound data according to one or more operating modes. The processing operations include, but are not limited to, adjusting or limiting the form of ultrasound waves emitted by the ultrasound probe 10, generating various image frames for display on the display of the human-machine interface device 70, or adjusting or limiting the content and form displayed on the display, or adjusting one or more image display settings displayed on the display (e.g., ultrasound images, interface components, locating regions of interest).

[0050] When an echo signal is received, the acquired ultrasound data can be processed in real time by the processor 20 during the scan, or it can be temporarily stored in the memory 80 and processed in a near real-time manner during online or offline operation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the processor 20 controls the operation of the transmission control circuit 30 and the reception control circuit 40, for example, controlling the transmission control circuit 30 and the reception control circuit 40 to operate alternately or simultaneously. The processor 20 can also determine a suitable operating mode according to the user's selection or the program settings, form a transmission sequence corresponding to the current operating mode, and send the transmission sequence to the transmission control circuit 30 so that the transmission control circuit 30 can use the appropriate transmission sequence to control the ultrasonic probe 10 to emit ultrasonic waves.

[0052] The processor 20 is also used to process the ultrasound data to generate a grayscale image showing the changes in signal intensity within the scanning range. This grayscale image reflects the anatomical structure inside the tissue and is called a B-image. The processor 20 can output the B-image to the display of the human-computer interaction device 70 for display.

[0053] The ultrasound imaging device provided by this invention includes an ultrasound examination method as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps: Step 1.1: The processor 20 receives an instruction from the human-machine interface device 70 to execute an examination protocol, and executes the examination protocol in response to the instruction. For example, the processor 20 displays one or more examination protocols on the display interface of the human-machine interface device 70 for the user to select; typically, multiple examination protocols are displayed. The examination protocols displayed on the interface are usually identifiers of the examination protocols, such as the name and icon of the examination protocol. The examination protocol is used to guide the user to complete an ultrasound scan of multiple preset sections. Specifically, some examination protocols are used to examine multiple sections of a single site, completing the examination of these sections by providing the user with a corresponding workflow, such as examining multiple sections of the heart, fetus, etc. Some examination protocols are used to examine one or more sections of multiple sites, completing the examination of these sections by providing the user with a corresponding workflow, such as examining multiple sections of multiple sites involved in physical examinations, shock, trauma, etc. That is, the examination protocol provides a workflow for examination based on disease or tissue / organ. The processor 20 receives an instruction from the input device to select an examination protocol, and initiates the examination process for the selected examination protocol in response to the instruction.

[0054] Step 1.2: The processor 20 obtains ultrasound images of multiple preset sections based on the user's operations guided by the selected examination protocol. For example, the processor 20 displays the preset sections to be examined under the current examination protocol (selected examination protocol) on the display interface. These preset sections can be displayed simultaneously or sequentially. The preset sections displayed on the display interface can be identifiers, such as names or icons. Regardless of whether the preset sections of the examination protocol are displayed simultaneously or sequentially, their arrangement is a preset guiding order. The user can follow this guiding order to image each preset section sequentially, obtaining ultrasound images of each preset section. This recommended guiding order is typically used for organs with fixed locations, such as the heart and lungs. Of course, the user can also image sections outside the preset guiding order. For example, when examining a fetus, the fetal position is generally different for each fetus; users often find it more efficient to image each preset section based on the actual situation, obtaining ultrasound images of all preset sections is sufficient. An ultrasound image of a preset section is obtained by scanning a pre-defined section. For example, after the user selects a preset section marker on the display interface, the processor 20 controls the ultrasound probe 10 to emit ultrasound waves toward the region of interest and receive the echoes of the ultrasound waves through the transmit / receive control circuit. The echoes of the ultrasound waves are processed to obtain one or more frames of ultrasound images. At least one frame can be selected from one or more frames of ultrasound images as the ultrasound image of the selected preset section and saved. Of course, the user can also measure and / or annotate the selected ultrasound images before saving them. The process of obtaining an ultrasound image of a section by scanning is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Step 1.3: The processor 20 saves the ultrasound images of the sections obtained during the execution of the examination protocol, as well as at least a portion of the examination protocol, to obtain the examination results, and then ends the execution of the examination protocol. Existing technologies only save the ultrasound images of the sections obtained during the examination, while this application saves at least a portion of the examination protocol in addition to the ultrasound images. This at least portion of the examination protocol, along with the ultrasound images of each section, is saved as the examination results, and the two are linked. Thus, various convenient functions can be achieved when viewing the patient's ultrasound images after the examination is completed, as detailed in Step 2 below. In this embodiment, the at least portion of the examination protocol includes at least one of the following: an identifier for the examination protocol, a mapping relationship between the ultrasound images of the examination results and the sections, a preset display protocol, and all examination protocols. That is, the purpose of saving at least a portion of the examination protocol is twofold: firstly, to subsequently obtain the mapping relationship between the ultrasound images of the examination results and the sections directly or indirectly from the at least portion of the examination protocol; and secondly, to directly or indirectly obtain the preset display protocol. After obtaining the examination results, the examination protocol ends, and the user can then examine the next patient or begin examinations on other parts of the patient according to a new examination protocol.

[0056] Step 2: The ultrasound imaging device also includes a communication module for communication. The processor 20 receives a transmission command via the human-machine interface 70; in response to the transmission command, it transmits the examination results to an external device via the communication module. The external device receives the examination results from the ultrasound imaging device. The user can then view the ultrasound images from the examination results on the external device.

[0057] Of course, users can also view the examination results on the ultrasound imaging device. Specifically, the processor 20 receives an instruction to view the examination results through the human-computer interaction device 70. In response to the instruction, it obtains a preset display protocol according to the examination protocol. This display protocol includes a preset section display order, that is, the display protocol includes a preset section display order of the ultrasound images of each section when viewing the examination results. The examination protocol may or may not include a display protocol. Taking the absence of a display protocol as an example, the examination protocol is pre-associated with a display protocol. Both protocols include the same multiple preset sections. The processor 20 can obtain the associated display protocol from its own device or an external device according to the examination protocol. Since the ultrasound imaging device itself has an examination protocol, the mapping relationship (correspondence) between the ultrasound images and sections in the examination results is known. Therefore, based on this mapping relationship, the processor 20 displays the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on the display interface of the human-computer interaction device according to the preset section display order in the preset display protocol. For example, after the examination, the user wants to check if any sections were missed; or, in scenarios such as reviewing the patient's condition or using the patient's examination results as ultrasound cases for teaching, the user also needs to view the patient's examination results. Based on user operations, the processor 20 can display the examination results of multiple patients for the user to select from on the display screen. For example, the display screen can show the identifiers (ID, name, etc.) of each patient. After the user selects a patient's identifier through the human-computer interaction device 70, if the patient has examination results corresponding to one or more (two or more) examination protocols, the identifiers of these examination results (such as examination protocol identifiers) can be displayed on the screen. Selecting an identifier for an examination result through the human-computer interaction device 70 is equivalent to issuing an instruction to view the selected examination results for the selected patient. If the patient has only one examination result corresponding to an examination protocol, selecting a patient's identifier through the human-computer interaction device 70 can also serve as an instruction to view the selected patient's examination results. Therefore, in response to the instruction to view the (selected) examination results for the selected patient, the processor 20 displays the ultrasound images of each section of the examination results on the display screen according to the preset section display order in the display protocol.

[0058] The preset display order of the display protocol can be the same as or different from the guidance order. Examining the various preset sections of the protocol and / or display protocol reveals that they can have certain logical relationships. This relationship could be a connection between body tissue locations, a connection between tissue functions, or a user's usage habits (such as a user-defined order or an order obtained by a machine learning model from user actions). In other words, the guidance order and / or the preset display order can be determined based on at least one of the following: the body location of each preset section in the protocol, the function of the tissue to which each preset section belongs, and user habits.

[0059] This embodiment uses the example of the preset section display order being the same as the guided order for illustration. That is, the processor 20 prompts the user via the display to scan the images in the order described above, following the preset section display order. The preset section display order is the section image scanning order recommended by the system to the user, and it is also the display order of the obtained ultrasound images. In this embodiment, since the system recommended this preset section display order during the previous scan, the user will be familiar with viewing the ultrasound images arranged in this preset section display order, understand the arrangement rules of each ultrasound image, easily find the desired ultrasound image, easily identify any missed section images, and view the examination results conveniently and efficiently.

[0060] If a user views the examination results on an external device, they can issue a command to view the results through the device's human-machine interface. The external device's processor receives the command through the interface and, in response, determines the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section based on at least a portion of the examination protocol in the results. For example, the at least a portion of the examination protocol may include an identifier for the examination protocol. The external device's processor can obtain the examination protocol identified by this identifier from its own device or other devices. Since the ultrasound image was obtained under this examination protocol, the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section can be determined based on this protocol. Alternatively, the at least a portion of the examination protocol may directly include the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section of the examination results. Of course, the at least a portion of the examination protocol may also include all the examination protocols, and the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section of the examination results can be obtained based on these protocols.

[0061] The processor of the external device further determines a preset cross-section display order based on at least a portion of the inspection protocol in the inspection results. For example, the at least a portion of the inspection protocol includes an identifier of the inspection protocol; the processor of the external device obtains the corresponding inspection protocol from its own machine or from other devices based on the identifier of the inspection protocol, and obtains the preset display protocol based on the obtained inspection protocol. Specifically, the inspection protocol may include the preset display protocol, so the preset display protocol can be directly obtained from the obtained inspection protocol. Of course, the identifier of the inspection protocol can also be pre-associated with the preset display protocol, and the processor of the external device obtains the preset display protocol pre-associated with the identifier of the inspection protocol from its own machine or from other devices based on the identifier of the inspection protocol.

[0062] Furthermore, based on the mapping relationship, the processor of the external device displays the ultrasound images of each section of the examination results on the display interface of the external device's human-computer interaction device according to the preset section display order in the preset display protocol. For example, the ultrasound imaging device successively sends multiple examination results to the external device for storage. Later, when doctors want to review the patient's condition or use the patient's examination results as ultrasound cases for teaching, the user can view the patient's examination results through the external device. Based on the user's operation, the processor of the external device can display the examination results of multiple patients for the user to select. For example, the display can display the identifiers (ID, name, etc.) of each patient. After the user selects a patient's identifier through the external device's human-computer interaction device, if the patient has one or more (two or more) examination results corresponding to the examination protocols, the identifiers of the examination results corresponding to these examination protocols (such as examination protocol identifiers) can be displayed on the display. After the user selects an examination result identifier through the external device's human-computer interaction device, it is equivalent to issuing an instruction to view the selected examination results of the selected patient; if the patient has only one examination result corresponding to the examination protocol, the user can also use the external device's human-computer interaction device to select a patient's identifier as an instruction to view the examination results of the selected patient. Therefore, in response to an instruction to view the examination results of a selected patient, the processor of the external device directly or indirectly determines the mapping relationship between the ultrasound images and sections of the examination results from the selected patient's examination results, as well as the preset section display order (see above for details), and then displays the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on the display interface of the external device according to the preset section display order. For multiple examination results obtained from the same examination protocol, regardless of how the doctor operated during scanning, the ultrasound images of these examination results are arranged in the same order when displayed. They are displayed according to their respective sections in a fixed section display order, which facilitates the doctor's comparison and search, and also makes it easy to find missed section images, thus improving work efficiency.

[0063] Whether using an ultrasound imaging device or an external device, when displaying ultrasound images of various sections in the examination results, the ultrasound images of each section can be displayed simultaneously as thumbnails in a preset section display order. The user can then select the desired section by clicking on it to view the details. Alternatively, the ultrasound images of each section can be displayed sequentially according to the preset section display order. For example, the first section's ultrasound image can be displayed first, followed by thumbnails of subsequent sections, allowing the user to scroll through the images to find the desired section. Of course, the ultrasound images of each section can also be presented in other ways, with the display order following the preset section display order in the display protocol. For the same examination protocol, regardless of whether the user scans in the recommended order, examination results for different patients based on the same protocol will be displayed in the preset section display order. This preset section display order is usually unrelated to the first letter of the ultrasound image name, its size, modification date, etc.

[0064] When the processors of the ultrasound imaging equipment and external devices display the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on the display interface in a preset section display order, a blank indicator corresponding to the preset section for which no ultrasound image was obtained can be displayed. Each ultrasound image and blank indicator is displayed together according to the preset section display order. The blank indicator is used to indicate to the user that no ultrasound image was obtained for the corresponding preset section; it can be a blank image, a schematic diagram of the section outline, etc. In this way, which sections were missed is immediately apparent, making the search very convenient.

[0065] In this embodiment, the processors of the ultrasound imaging device and external devices can also obtain descriptive information for each preset section based on at least a portion of the inspection protocol in the examination results. The at least a portion of the inspection protocol can directly include descriptive information for each preset section, or it can include an identifier for the inspection protocol. The identifier for the inspection protocol can be pre-associated with descriptive information. The processor obtains the associated descriptive information from its own device or from other devices based on the identifier of the inspection protocol. Alternatively, the inspection protocol can also include descriptive information for each preset section. The processor can obtain the inspection protocol from its own device or from other devices based on the identifier of the inspection protocol and obtain the descriptive information based on the obtained inspection protocol. The descriptive information may include, for example, which part of the human body the section belongs to, whether it is a transverse or longitudinal section, etc. When the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results are displayed on the display interface in the preset section display order, the descriptive information for each section is displayed along with the ultrasound image of the section. That is, the user can see both the ultrasound image and the descriptive information of the section, enabling them to grasp the information of the section more quickly.

[0066] The processor of the ultrasound imaging equipment and external devices can also obtain the number of preset sections according to at least part of the inspection protocol, or according to the display protocol. For example, the number of sections in the preset section display order is the preset number of sections. Then, based on the number of sections with ultrasound images in the inspection results and the preset number of sections, quality control analysis is performed to obtain quality control results, which are then displayed on the screen. For example, the processor calculates the difference between the number of sections with ultrasound images and the preset number of sections. When the difference exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm message is output on the screen to alert the user that too many sections have been missed. Alternatively, the number of sections with ultrasound images and the preset number of sections can be displayed to indicate how many sections have not yet been imaged. Quality control analysis can also be performed on the ultrasound images in the inspection results to obtain quality control results, such as a comprehensive evaluation of the ultrasound image resolution, contrast, and whether it contains anatomical structures of the sections. This process is equivalent to automatically checking the inspection results, reducing the occurrence of missed sections by the user.

[0067] The examination protocol can be stored within the ultrasound imaging device or external device itself, or it can be obtained from other devices. Taking the latter as an example, the ultrasound imaging device can obtain the examination protocol from the external device through a communication module (such as various communication interfaces, wireless communication modules, etc.), and then perform the above steps to obtain the examination results. After obtaining the examination results, the device can transmit (e.g., upload, export, etc.) the examination results to the external device, for example, by packaging, encapsulating, or compressing the examination results before transmitting them. The external device can be a server (such as a local server or cloud server, etc.), or other ultrasound imaging devices or terminal devices (such as computers, etc.). Taking a server as an example, various data from the ultrasound imaging device can be stored on the server. Obtaining the examination protocol from the server and uploading the examination results to the server facilitates centralized data management and improves the security of hospital data.

[0068] The terminal device provided by this invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a processor 20', a human-computer interaction device 70', a memory 80', and a communication module 90.

[0069] The human-computer interaction device 70' is the same as the human-computer interaction device 70 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0070] The communication module 90 is used to communicate with external devices. It can be a communication interface (such as a network cable interface, USB interface, etc.) or a wireless communication module, etc.

[0071] The memory 80' contains the program.

[0072] Processor 20' is used to execute programs stored in memory 80' to achieve, for example Figure 2 The method shown.

[0073] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method for performing ultrasound examinations using a terminal device includes the following steps: Step 1.4: The processor 20' obtains the examination results based on an examination protocol from an external device via the communication module 90. For example, the processor 20' sends a request to the external device to obtain the examination results via the communication module 90; then, it receives the examination results fed back by the external device based on the request via the communication module 90; that is, the terminal device obtains the patient's examination results from the external device, which are obtained based on the examination protocol. The external device in this embodiment can be the ultrasound imaging device, server, etc., as described above. The examination results include the cross-sectional ultrasound image obtained during the execution of the examination protocol and at least a portion of the examination protocol. The examination results are sent to the terminal device by the external device in one go, that is, the cross-sectional ultrasound image obtained during the execution of the examination protocol and the at least a portion of the examination protocol are sent to the terminal device together.

[0074] The inspection protocol in this embodiment is the same as the inspection protocol in the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.

[0075] Step 2': The processor 20' receives an instruction to view the examination results via the human-machine interface 70'. In response to the instruction, it determines the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section of the examination results based on at least a portion of the examination protocol in the examination results. For example, the at least a portion of the examination protocol may include an identifier of the examination protocol. The processor 20' can obtain the examination protocol identified by the identifier of the examination protocol from its own device or other devices. Since the ultrasound image is obtained under this examination protocol, the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section can be known based on the examination protocol. The at least a portion of the examination protocol may also directly include the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section of the examination results. Of course, the at least a portion of the examination protocol may also include all the examination protocols, and the mapping relationship between the ultrasound image and the cross-section of the examination results can be obtained based on the examination protocols.

[0076] The processor 20' further determines a preset cross-section display order based on at least a portion of the inspection protocol in the inspection results. For example, the at least a portion of the inspection protocol includes an identifier of the inspection protocol; the processor 20' obtains the corresponding inspection protocol from its own machine or from other devices based on the identifier of the inspection protocol, and obtains the preset display protocol based on the obtained inspection protocol. Specifically, the inspection protocol may include the preset display protocol, so the preset display protocol can be directly obtained from the obtained inspection protocol. Of course, the identifier of the inspection protocol can also be pre-associated with the preset display protocol, and the processor 20' obtains the preset display protocol pre-associated with the identifier of the inspection protocol from its own machine or from other devices based on the identifier of the inspection protocol.

[0077] Furthermore, based on the mapping relationship, the processor 20' displays the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on the display interface of the human-computer interaction device 70' according to the preset section display order in the preset display protocol. When the processor 20' displays the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results on the display interface of the human-computer interaction device 70' according to the preset section display order, for preset sections for which no ultrasound image is obtained, a corresponding blank identifier can be displayed. Each ultrasound image and blank identifier is displayed together according to the preset section display order based on its respective section. The processor 20' can also obtain descriptive information for each preset section according to at least part of the examination protocol; the descriptive information for each section is displayed together with the ultrasound image of the section. Therefore, after an ultrasound imaging device obtains the patient's examination results, it can transmit them to a terminal device through a medium. Because the examination results contain at least part of the examination protocol that can directly or indirectly obtain the preset section display order, the terminal device can display the ultrasound images of each section in the examination results according to the preset section display order, which is very convenient and efficient. Terminal devices can be various devices with data processing and display capabilities, such as computers of all types, or they can be ultrasound imaging devices. This means that an ultrasound imaging device can acquire examination results from other ultrasound imaging devices, even if the ultrasound imaging device itself lacks an examination protocol; it can derive the protocol from the examination results and then display the ultrasound images of each section in a preset display order. This allows various devices within the hospital to conveniently and quickly view the patient's ultrasound images, making it applicable to a wide range of scenarios.

[0078] The processor 20' can also obtain the number of preset sections according to at least part of the inspection protocol or display protocol (such as a preset section display order); and perform quality control analysis based on the number of sections with ultrasound images in the inspection results and the number of preset sections to obtain quality control results. The processor 20' can display the quality control results through a human-computer interaction device, or it can feed the quality control results back to an external device. Taking the latter as an example, a laboratory physician uses an ultrasound imaging device to examine a patient and obtains the examination results. The terminal device obtains the patient's examination results from the ultrasound imaging device. The user of the terminal device can not only view the patient's examination results in a timely manner, but also perform quality control processing on the examination results and feed back the quality control results to the ultrasound imaging device, thereby reminding the laboratory physician to conduct supplementary examinations on the patient, etc. Remote quality control can be achieved without changing the existing ultrasound imaging device, which improves the doctor's work efficiency.

[0079] As can be seen from the above, the specific functions of the processor 20' of the terminal device in this embodiment are the same as those of the processor 20 in the ultrasonic imaging device embodiment, and also the same as those of the processor of the external device in the ultrasonic imaging device embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.
