[0055] Please refer to Figure 2 , the delay path discrimination module comprises:

[0056] The data frame receiving submodule analyzes the deep tissue echo signals of each pixel point based on consecutive ultrasound frames, compares each pixel position point by point, judges the change of the echo arrival time of the same pixel point between adjacent frames, calculates the time sequence difference of each pixel point in the frame sequence, and obtains the pixel delay data;

[0057] In the process of continuously acquiring ultrasound image frames, multiple frames of images are arranged in time sequence, the position of each pixel in the image and its corresponding gray value are read row by row and column by column in each frame of image, and the gray value reflects the echo intensity of the tissue to the ultrasound wave. For the same spatial position pixel point, the gray value change in different frames of images is read to judge whether it is in a dynamic change state. For pixels with a gray value difference greater than 10 in three consecutive frames, it is considered that there is an effective signal of tissue structure response. The frame sequence time stamp of each frame of image is read, the sampling time of the same pixel position in the current frame and the previous frame is compared, the echo arrival time difference of the pixel point is calculated, and the pixel point with a change greater than ±5 microseconds is marked as a significant delay change. This operation is performed on all pixels in each frame, and the pixel points in the entire image are traversed. The echo time change results of each pixel in the consecutive frames are recorded and classified in turn, and a pixel delay database containing the image spatial position and frame sequence time axis is constructed. In an example, for example, the echo times of a certain pixel point in three consecutive frames are 8.12 microseconds, 8.18 microseconds and 8.21 microseconds, the changes between adjacent frames are 0.06 microseconds and 0.03 microseconds respectively, and the average value is 0.045 microseconds. Compared with the set reference value 0.02 microseconds, if it exceeds, the point is added to the delay mark list. After continuously processing multiple pixel points in this way, a group of pixel data with delay time change record is finally formed in the image, which is used as the input data for subsequent delay path extraction.

[0058] The path delay extraction submodule judges the delay change trend of the pixel points based on the pixel delay data, analyzes the change direction and change continuity, identifies the pixel points with stable trend, optimizes the corresponding relationship between the spatial position and the time sequence, and obtains delay trend data.

[0059] The echo delay time of each pixel point in the continuous frames is checked one by one to see whether it presents a continuous rising or falling trend, and whether the change direction remains consistent. If the echo delay time of a certain pixel continuously increases or decreases in three frames of images, it is preliminarily judged that the delay trend is stable. For the pixel points with stable trends, it is further judged whether the fluctuation amplitude of the delay change is stable. The delay values in the time sequence are compared multiple times. If the change value fluctuates less in the set range, such as less than 0.01 microseconds, the pixel point is recorded as a stable trend pixel. The image coordinate position of the stable pixel point and its corresponding time sequence relationship are bound to establish the corresponding mapping of space and time, form a mapping table of image position to delay change sequence, and be used to describe the delay evolution process of the pixel in the time dimension. In the example, if the delay of a certain pixel in the continuous three frames is 0.04, 0.05 and 0.045 microseconds, the change fluctuation is small, the difference value is concentrated, it is judged as a stable trend point, and its position and the corresponding delay time of the frame sequence are arranged in sequence to form a record. In this way, a group of pixels with stable change characteristics is screened from the image, and the delay trend data is constituted together with the time delay sequence data of the pixels, for the next step.

[0060] The frequency adjustment identification sub-module compares the delay characteristics with the echo response of the current acoustic density detection area based on the delay trend data, analyzes the correlation between the echo path of the deep tissue and the response mode, adjusts the ultrasonic emission frequency, identifies the pixel area with inconsistent structure characteristics, and obtains the penetration dynamic discrimination parameter.

[0061] First, the delay mean value of each stable trend pixel is extracted, and the overall echo response characteristics of the region where the pixel is located are analyzed. The gray value of all effective pixels in the sound density detection area is extracted, the average level of the overall reflection intensity of the current region is judged, and the delay change of individual pixels is compared with the overall response characteristics of the region where they are located. If the delay value of a certain pixel is significantly different from the delay level of most pixels in the region, such as exceeding the set reference range of 0.015 microseconds, it is judged that the echo path of the pixel is abnormal. Further frequency adjustment processing is performed on such regions in combination with the gray value distribution. If the reflection intensity of the region is generally low, such as the average gray level being lower than 80 levels, it is judged that the current transmission frequency is insufficient for deep tissue penetration, and the transmission frequency is automatically reduced. The next frame of image is re-acquired, and the delay trend is analyzed again. If the gray value is found to be too high, such as exceeding 220 levels, and the delay is short, it is judged that there is reflection superposition or artifact interference, and the transmission frequency is increased. The new data is re-sampled and analyzed. After each frequency adjustment, the delay value and gray response of the pixels in the region are analyzed again. If the adjusted delay level enters the reference value interval and the gray distribution in the region tends to be concentrated, it is determined that the frequency adjustment is effective, and the frequency and the position of the corresponding pixel are recorded. If the frequency adjustment still appears the delay and gray deviation from the average level of the region, the frequency is continuously adjusted until the data converges. A group of regions with inconsistent delay trend and echo characteristics are extracted, and the image coordinates, average delay value and transmission frequency of the region at that time are combined to form a penetration dynamic discrimination parameter data set.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 , the gray trend detection module comprises:

[0063] The gray contrast analysis submodule detects the pixel gray intensity sequence in the target region based on the penetration dynamic discrimination parameter, calculates the change rate of the corresponding pixel gray in adjacent frames, identifies the pixels with different gray change amplitudes, and performs gray time sequence aggregation according to the gray change direction of the frame sequence to obtain gray change characteristic data;

[0064] The parameter marked as inconsistent structural features is extracted, and the pixel gray value sequence in the region is read frame by frame. The difference between the gray values of each coordinate position in adjacent frames is calculated, the difference between the current frame gray and the last frame gray is compared, and the change value is recorded for subsequent rate judgment. Repeat this operation on each target pixel to form a sequence composed of multiple gray difference values. When judging the gray change rate, if the absolute value of the gray difference between two consecutive frames exceeds 15, it is recorded as a fast-changing pixel. If the change in all consecutive frames does not exceed 5, it is recorded as a slow-changing pixel. The rest is medium rate change. According to the above classification results, further judge whether there is a pixel distribution pattern with uneven change rate distribution in the target area. For example, in a group of 5 consecutive images, the pixel gray sequence is 122, 139, 150, 152, 155, and the corresponding frame change is 17, 11, 2, 3. Since the first frame difference exceeds 15, it is a fast-changing pixel, and the point position is recorded as a high-change area. Then perform sequence aggregation operation on the gray change direction of each pixel in multiple frames. If the gray value continuously increases or decreases, it is marked as consistent direction. If the gray value changes alternately, it is marked as direction fluctuation. The judgment rule is that the gray change direction does not alternate within three and more frames, which is consistent, otherwise it is fluctuation. If the number of consistent frames accounts for more than 70% of the total number of frames, it is considered that the pixel has a significant gray time trend. Through the above steps, the gray change rate, change direction and change type of each pixel are aggregated to generate a gray change feature data containing change amplitude classification, direction mark and time sequence stability.

[0065] The structural relationship recognition submodule judges the spatial distribution of pixel gray difference in the target area based on the gray change feature data, analyzes the relationship between pixel gray difference and adjacent pixel structure, compares the gray change trend and abnormal behavior characteristics, and identifies the pixels with consistent spatial features to obtain the gray structure compliance index.

[0066] Read the gray level change type and gray level direction information of each pixel in the image frame sequence from the feature data, extract its position in the two-dimensional image coordinates, and select the other pixel points connected with the pixel in the adjacent 8 directions according to the pixel space proximity relationship. Compare the gray level change amplitude difference of the center pixel and its adjacent pixels one by one. If the gray level change type of the adjacent pixel is consistent with that of the center pixel and the difference is less than 20, mark it as a structure consistent relationship. Then judge the consistency level of each pixel point in the spatial distribution according to the number of structure consistent neighborhoods of each pixel point. If the number of structure consistent pixels exceeds 4, mark the point as a structure correlation point. At the same time, further compare the structure consistent relationship with the abnormal behavior characteristics. The abnormal behavior characteristics refer to the pixels marked as rapid change or obvious fluctuation in the gray level change. Further confirm whether the neighborhood around the pixel also has similar changes. If so, the point is marked as an abnormal structure aggregation point. If the gray level direction of a certain pixel is consistent upward, the change amplitude is 35, and its adjacent pixels are 32, 33, 36, 38, 31, 37, 39 and 35, it is judged that the gray level difference in its neighborhood is within 10 and the change direction is consistent, which is marked as a structure consistent area. By counting the intersection area of all structure consistent pixels and abnormal behavior points, the pixels meeting the double conditions of structure trend and gray level trend are extracted, and a gray structure consistent index data set is constructed.

[0067] The trend deviation screening submodule analyzes the gray level change pattern of each pixel point in the time sequence based on the gray structure consistent index, judges the relevance of the change trend and the abnormal characteristics, identifies the pixels with inconsistent change amplitude and abnormal characteristics, and obtains a trend deviation feature set.

[0068] The gray value change sequence of each pixel point meeting the index in all frames is extracted in the image frame sequence, and the change curve is classified one by one. The change direction is divided into five categories: continuous rise, continuous fall, fluctuation rise, fluctuation fall and no obvious trend. For each trend, the standard trend sequence corresponding to the preset abnormal feature is matched and judged. The abnormal feature trend is set according to the gray change process of the clinically common lesion. For example, if the gray value rises from 120 to more than 180 within five frames, it is classified as a typical hyperplasia abnormality. If the gray value does not fluctuate obviously between frames but remains high, such as continuously greater than 200, it is classified as a high-density abnormality. In the trend matching process, it is judged whether the actual pixel sequence meets the above conditions. If it does not meet the conditions, it is marked as a non-abnormal trend point. At the same time, the gray value change amplitude is used to judge again whether it reaches the preset abnormal response threshold. The threshold is set to be greater than 10. If it is less than this value, the pixel point is excluded as an effective response point. For example, the gray value of a certain pixel in five consecutive frames is 128, 130, 133, 134 and 136. The average change of each frame is 2, which is less than the set value 10, and the trend classification is slow rise, which does not belong to the abnormal feature trend. Therefore, it is excluded. After the trend judgment and feature matching of all analysis points are completed, the pixel points that do not meet the abnormal change conditions are screened out, and the remaining part is recorded as the trend deviation feature set.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 4 , the texture feature screening module comprises:

[0070] The high-frequency reflection point identification submodule analyzes the gray sequence of the center pixel and the neighborhood of the target region based on the trend deviation feature set, judges whether the direction of gray value change between frames frequently switches, identifies the pixels that appear multiple times in multiple consecutive frames, and obtains a high-frequency reflection point mapping set.

[0071] The gray scale values corresponding to each pixel point and its adjacent pixels in the feature set in the continuous image frames are extracted. For the center pixel point selected in each frame image in the target region, the gray scale values in the previous and subsequent frames are extracted, a gray scale sequence is formed according to the time sequence, any two continuous gray scale values in the sequence are compared, and the change direction is recorded as rising or falling. After repeating the process to traverse the entire sequence, the direction change state between all frames is counted. If the same pixel point appears more than 2 times of gray scale change direction reversal in 5 continuous frames, for example, the first frame gray scale is 112, the second frame is 130 (rising), the third frame is 125 (falling), the fourth frame is 132 (rising), and the fifth frame is 129 (falling), the change direction is recorded as alternating more than 2 times, and it is determined as a pixel point with frequent direction switching. The judgment is based on the set direction reversal threshold of 2 times. If the number is less than the number, it is not counted in the high-frequency identification. Further, the corresponding judgment result of the center pixel point in its eight neighborhood pixels is combined. If there are more than 5 pixels with direction reversal number greater than or equal to 2 in the neighborhood, the center point is marked as a high-frequency reflection point. After judging, comparing and counting all pixels in all target regions in this way, the pixel set meeting the high-frequency direction reversal condition is extracted, and the mapping index structure is generated combined with the image coordinates to form the high-frequency reflection point mapping set.

[0072] The reflection trend matching sub-module analyzes the gray scale sequence of each point in the continuous frames based on the high-frequency reflection point mapping set, judges whether the direction and trend type of the inter-frame gray scale change are consistent, compares the matching of the direction distribution of the target region and the reference direction, identifies the reflection points meeting the direction requirements, and obtains the reflection trend direction distribution structure.

[0073] The pixel coordinates corresponding to each identified high-frequency reflection point are extracted one by one. Then, the grayscale value of the pixel in each frame is extracted from the original image frame sequence to form a grayscale change sequence of a single pixel. The direction of grayscale change between two consecutive frames of this sequence is judged, and the upward or downward direction label is recorded. The dominant direction type in the entire sequence is counted. Then, a preset reference sample of the baseline direction is read. For example, the typical grayscale change direction in the lesion formation process is a continuous upward direction. If the grayscale continuously increases for more than three frames, or if there is only one downward trend in any frame, it can still be judged as conforming to the baseline direction. During the judgment, the main trend direction of grayscale change of the target reflection point is compared with the baseline direction frame by frame. If the matching degree is higher than 70%, that is, more than 70% of the frames have the same grayscale change direction as the baseline direction, then the point is recorded as the directional trend. Consistent reflection points are identified, and when judging matching accuracy, the distribution of pixels with consistent directional trends within the entire image area is aggregated and calculated. The distribution density of such pixels within the image area is extracted, and a directional trend distribution map is constructed. This distribution map is further analyzed on a pixel block basis. If the reflection points in a certain image area match more than 30 directions and are concentrated in a 16×16 pixel area, it is marked as a directional clustering area. This judgment is based on a region number threshold of 30 and a spatial size threshold of 16 pixels. In this way, the trend direction of the identified high-frequency reflection points in the entire target area is analyzed inter-frame, matched with the reference direction, and the directional aggregation distribution is judged. Then, all pixels that meet the conditions and their coordinates, trend direction status, and spatial clustering status are output to obtain the reflection trend direction distribution structure.

[0074] The spatial consistency extraction submodule, based on the reflection trend direction distribution structure, calculates the differences in grayscale change parameters between the target area and the labeled coordinates in each direction, compares the change characteristics in the horizontal and vertical directions, optimizes the expression of the differences between the two areas, and uses the following formula:

[0075] ;

[0076] Perform inter-regional dissimilarity analysis to obtain spatial consistency offset. We obtained high-frequency fusion characteristic quantities, among which, Indicates the target region number Gray-scale variation parameters in each direction, Indicates the labeled area number Gray-scale variation parameters in each direction, Indicates the target region number The absolute difference in grayscale changes in each direction Indicates the number of directions involved in the comparison;

[0077] The spatial consistency offset is used to quantify the overall difference between the gray scale change parameters of the target region and the labeled region in different directions. By comparing the gray scale change parameters (such as change amplitude, change trend, etc.) of the target region and the labeled region in each direction, the gray scale change differences in all directions are weighted and normalized, and an index reflecting the spatial structure consistency or offset degree between the two regions is output. The larger the index, the more obvious the texture or structure difference between the target region and the labeled region in spatial distribution. The smaller the index, the higher the consistency of the two regions in each direction gray scale distribution and change characteristics. It is used to assist the automatic lesion recognition system to distinguish the degree of coincidence of a region and a standard lesion template in spatial texture features, and is a key input of high-frequency fusion features. The high-frequency fusion feature is based on the spatial consistency offset, further combined with other key parameters such as the reflection trend direction distribution structure, and the aggregation state of the overall high-frequency reflection characteristics of the region is determined by comprehensively considering various spatial and texture indexes. It usually aggregates information such as spatial consistency offset, direction distribution, trend change, etc., and is used to reflect the aggregation and spatial consistency of the high-frequency texture features of the target region.

[0078] The original values are mapped to the interval [0, 1] with 255 as the upper limit and 0 as the lower limit for normalization of each parameter. The normalization interval is set to , and the number of direction samples is set to . The original values and the normalized results are as follows:

[0079] , and the normalized results are as follows: ;

[0080] , and the normalized results are as follows: ;

[0081] , and the normalized results are as follows: ;

[0082] Substitute the normalized parameters into the operation as follows, numerator part:

[0083] ;

[0084] ;

[0085] Denominator part:

[0086] ;

[0087] Substitute the calculation formula:

[0088] ; according to the reference interval division standard of the spatial consistency offset, wherein:

[0089] When , it is defined as a high consistency interval, indicating that the target region and the labeled coordinates have minimal differences in multi-directional gray scale variation parameters, and have significant spatial structure consistency;

[0090] When , it is defined as a moderate deviation interval, indicating that there are partial directional gray scale variation differences between regions, but the overall texture similarity is maintained;

[0091] When , it is defined as a significant deviation interval, indicating that the directional gray scale variation difference between regions is significant, and does not have structural consistency characteristics;

[0092] When , it is defined as a high inconsistency interval, indicating that the texture gray scale features between the two regions have serious deviation, and the spatial structure is different.

[0093] Therefore, the current value is located in the high consistency interval, indicating that the target region is highly similar to the labeled region in spatial directional texture distribution. The result represents the comprehensive deviation degree of directional gray scale matching, and the result is directly used to construct a high-frequency fusion feature as a dominant weight factor. Through joint analysis with other features (such as reflection trend direction distribution), it further participates in the fusion and sorting of subsequent lesion judgment priority indicators, and promotes the lesion region to obtain a higher lesion feature priority in the entire image. The formula normalizes the gray scale variation difference item and participates in the ratio operation, so that different directional parameters are in the same calculation standard, ensuring that the numerical comparison of directional feature differences has a unified dimension, so that the spatial deviation can accurately reflect the consistency degree of the directional gray scale structure of the two regions.

[0094] Referring to Figure 5 , the feature fusion sorting module includes:

[0095] The multi-feature combination analysis submodule is based on high-frequency fusion features, analyzes spatial coordinates, judges the corresponding regions of the coordinate points in the trend deviation feature set and the penetration dynamic discrimination parameters, and compares the joint distribution of various features at the same spatial position to obtain feature combination correlation data;

[0096] Based on the high-frequency fusion characteristic quantity, the image space coordinates of each feature point are extracted, and the coordinates of the image region involved in the trend offset feature set and the penetration dynamic judgment parameter are matched. It is judged whether the coordinates exist in multiple feature sets at the same time. If there is an intersection, it is marked as a feature coincidence point. For each coordinate point, the corresponding texture difference parameter, trend type label and delay distribution data are extracted from three data sources. Then the data is classified and combined according to the coordinates. The numerical performance of the point in the three types of data sources is counted. For the pixel points marked as direction fluctuation type in the gray trend offset, if they have delay abnormality mark in the penetration dynamic parameter, and the texture intensity difference is greater than 50 gray level in the high-frequency fusion, it is determined that the point is abnormal in the three types of features, and is classified into the high abnormal feature combination. Repeat the above processing in all pixel points, count the number of feature coincidences, and classify and count according to each feature combination condition. For example, a pixel point coordinate is (180, 220). The texture difference is 62 in the high-frequency fusion feature, the trend offset is marked as "strong fluctuation", and the delay value exceeds the reference interval by more than 5 microseconds in the penetration parameter. The point is defined as "three high expression combination point". Then count the spatial distribution of all such points, judge whether there is a concentrated area, and establish the corresponding label according to the spatial distribution mode of feature superposition for each type of combination. The feature combination correlation data is generated.

[0097] The feature weight calculation sub-module analyzes the expression of each feature in the spatial distribution in the feature coincidence area according to the feature combination correlation data, judges the distribution density of each feature in the target area, optimizes the combination structure of each type of feature in the area, and obtains the feature distribution weight parameter.

[0098] In the identified feature coincidence area, the frequency of each feature item in the area is counted, and the distribution matrix of the feature items in space is established in units of areas. The pixel number of each type of feature in the area is normalized, and the distribution density of the feature in the area is determined by dividing the number of occurrences by the total number of pixels in the area. The reference value is set to 10% of the density threshold, that is, if the frequency of a certain type of feature in the area exceeds 10%, it is recorded as a high-density distribution feature. The total of the three types of features in the area is extracted to determine whether it meets the feature aggregation condition. The aggregation judgment standard is set to more than the respective reference threshold in the area. If it meets, it is set as a combined effective area. Then the expression intensity comparison between features in the combined effective area is performed. If the proportion of a certain feature in the area exceeds 50%, it is determined to have a dominant expression relationship in the area, and the feature is recorded as the dominant feature in the area. After processing each effective area, the dominant feature label, the corresponding area feature coverage rate and the area position relationship are packaged as feature distribution weight parameters, such as the total number of pixels in area A is 256, of which the trend offset feature pixel is 68, accounting for 26.5%, the texture difference pixel is 41, accounting for 16%, and the delay exceeds the threshold pixel is 33, accounting for 12.9%. All of them exceed 10%, so A area is an effective aggregation area, and the trend offset is the highest coverage item, which is recorded as the dominant feature. The information is generated into a weight parameter data structure.

[0099] The priority level division sub-module compares the weight order of the multi-feature intersection area based on the feature distribution weight parameter, judges the center point feature combination performance of the feature coincidence area, identifies the spatial position with multi-feature aggregation advantage, divides the feature performance priority level, and obtains the lesion determination priority index;

[0100] The dominant feature type of all recorded valid aggregation area position points is read in sequence, and the expression proportion of the remaining features in the area is taken as the basis for sorting to determine the priority of the multi-feature intersection area. Within the intersection area, the feature combination of the center pixel point is extracted in detail to determine whether the pixel point has significant performance in three types of features. If the number of three types of features is higher than the set threshold value, it is marked as a high priority point. The priority level is divided into three levels: the first level is that all three types of features are significant, the second level is that any two types of features are significant, and the third level is that only one type of feature is significant. For example, the texture difference value of a certain area center point is 74, the trend label is continuous fluctuation, and the delay value is 6.2 microseconds, all of which exceed the respective reference standard, so it is divided into a first-level priority point. If another area center point only meets the conditions of texture feature and trend feature, but the delay value does not exceed the set standard, it is divided into a second level. In this way, the center points of all intersection areas are judged according to the coincidence and performance intensity of the three types of features to generate a lesion priority grading index structure. At the same time, a spatial coordinate label, a dominant feature identifier, and a comprehensive score value are established for each level, and the output is a lesion determination priority index.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 6 The region highlight annotation module includes:

[0102] The pixel feature rendering submodule optimizes the gray distribution, boundary feature, and texture structure of the pixel set based on the lesion determination priority index, compares the rendering levels required by the classification categories, judges the brightness adjustment configuration affected by the confidence parameter, and obtains a multi-parameter pixel rendering sequence.

[0103] The spatial pixel position corresponding to each group of indicators is extracted, and the gray value distribution, edge transition intensity and texture difference of the region where the pixel point is located are archived. The hierarchical category label of each pixel point is read, and the corresponding level is divided from 1 to 3. Level 1 indicates that the three types of features are significantly overlapped, and level 3 indicates that only one type of feature is significantly expressed. According to the level division, the rendering level is set. Level 1 corresponds to the highest rendering brightness and the clearest texture boundary, and level 3 corresponds to the most basic rendering configuration. For the pixel points under the same level, the corresponding confidence parameter is read again. The confidence is set in percentage form. The brightness adjustment reference is set as the brightness increase interval in the gray range, which is 20 to 80. The brightness of the pixel with a confidence less than 50% is increased by 20, the brightness of the pixel with a confidence between 50% and 80% is increased by 40, and the brightness of the pixel with a confidence greater than 80% is increased by 80. At the same time, in terms of texture structure, the boundary sharpening degree is set according to the gray gradient change between each pixel and the 8-neighborhood. If the gray gradient change is greater than 30, it is defined as a boundary pixel. The edge sharpening weight is added to the pixel position, the contrast is adjusted and the texture contrast is enlarged. For example, the pixel level of a certain region is 1, the confidence is 85%, the original brightness is 140, and it is adjusted to 220. According to the fact that there are 4 directions with gray difference greater than 30 in the neighborhood of the point, it is judged to be a boundary point and the boundary contour performance is enhanced. The brightness value, texture information and boundary intensity of all adjusted pixels are arranged in spatial coordinate order to form a complete rendering sequence structure, and the output is a multi-parameter pixel rendering sequence.

[0104] The region matching determination sub-module determines the texture structure, gray contour and transverse symmetry of the target region based on the multi-parameter pixel rendering sequence, calculates the matching with the standard template reference vector and the texture reference, identifies the performance of the structure consistency feature, and obtains the structure consistency matching index.

[0105] Based on a multi-parameter pixel rendering sequence, texture feature vectors, brightness contrast values, and boundary structure information of each pixel are extracted from the rendering sequence. Target regions are constructed using spatial blocks as units. Texture structure clustering analysis is performed on each target region, using texture direction, brightness variation boundaries, and geometric distribution information as structural description features. A pre-defined standard template is read; this template is a pre-annotated texture reference image with typical lesion manifestations, including texture feature directions, boundary sharpness standards, and brightness distribution reference values. The feature vector of the target region is compared one-to-one with the reference vector in the standard template in terms of direction difference. If the difference is within 15 degrees, the direction is considered consistent. Then, the brightness contour of the region is compared with the brightness reference structure in the template. If the grayscale layer... If the difference between the mean values ​​of the two distributions is within 20, the brightness is considered to be consistent. Finally, the symmetry of the region image is judged in the left and right directions. The grayscale difference of each pixel in the region is compared with the corresponding pixel on the other side of the vertical central axis. If the vast majority of the differences are within 10, the region is considered to have a horizontally symmetrical structure. For example, in a certain matching region, the angle between the texture direction and the main direction of the template is 10 degrees, the average brightness is 160, the template value is 145, the difference is 15, and the average difference in left and right symmetry is 8. It is determined that the region is highly consistent with the template in all three features and is marked as a structurally consistent region. The above judgment and comparison process is repeated for all target regions. The coordinates, matching degree and label information of all regions that meet the texture structure, brightness contour and symmetry features are used to generate a structural consistency matching index.

[0106] The highlight data generation submodule, based on the structural consistency matching index, compares the degree of abrupt changes in the center texture, the proportion of grayscale deviation, and the connectivity of the boundary texture, using the following formula:

[0107] ;

[0108] Calculate the highlighting index, combine it with the region category and structural distribution number, and perform highlighting marking on the target pixels to obtain the lesion region annotation data. Indicates the first Highlighting index of each pixel Indicates the first The grayscale deviation ratio of the nth pixel represents the average grayscale deviation ratio of all pixels in the current analysis area, and represents the grayscale deviation ratio of the th pixel. Adjustment parameters for each spatial structure reference item, Indicates the first Texture connectivity magnitude of each pixel under the first spatial structure reference term. Indicates the total number of spatial structure reference items. This represents the normalized texture gradient term for the i-th pixel. This represents the average texture gradient at the corresponding position in the standard template;

[0109] The highlight index refers to a comprehensive index representing the highlight degree of the lesion characteristics of each pixel in a target region in an automatic lesion recognition ultrasound system, which is obtained by quantitative calculation based on multiple features such as gray scale, texture, and spatial structure after the lesion determination priority of each pixel in the target region is ranked, and is used to measure the abnormality or priority of a single pixel in the current analysis frame and region. The calculation is based on features such as gray scale deviation, texture connectivity under structural reference, and the difference between the texture gradient of the corresponding region of the standard template. The index reflects the "highlight degree" of each pixel in the automatic labeling process of the lesion region, that is, the pixel is more likely to be determined as a lesion region due to abnormal structure, gray scale distribution, or texture connection characteristics, and is then given a higher rendering level in subsequent steps to achieve automatic highlight display.

[0110] When comparing the central texture mutation degree, the gray scale differences of the target pixel in the four neighborhood directions are 6, 7, 5, and 8, respectively, and the original texture mutation intensity is calculated as The average texture gradient corresponding to the standard template is The lower limit of the region template is 4 and the upper limit is 8, and a linear normalization method is used, and the normalized value is , The gray scale deviation ratio is The original ratio is obtained by the ratio of the pixel gray scale 143 and the average gray scale 126 of the current region, which is The normalized value of the maximum ratio 1.1 and the minimum ratio 1 of the corresponding region is The average gray scale deviation ratio of the same region pixel set is The spatial structure reference item takes three direction feature channels The texture connectivity amplitude under each item is

[0111] , The parameter value is a dimensionless ratio feature and does not need to be normalized. The corresponding adjustment parameters are set as , The step-by-step calculation is as follows:

[0112] ;

[0113] ;

[0114] ;

[0115] ;

[0116] ;

[0117] ​Substitute calculation:

[0118] ;

[0119] Divide into three hierarchical paragraphs for marking decision logic:

[0120] When , it means that the pixel does not show obvious abnormalities in the three dimensions of gray offset, texture mutation and structure connectivity, and is classified as a non-lesion area, without any labeling;

[0121] When , it means that the pixel features have a certain degree of deviation, but do not have strong consistency or significant lesion indications, and are classified as low-level highlight labeling area. The system will decide whether to attach a label according to the spatial continuity and neighborhood conditions;

[0122] When , it means that the features of the pixel are highly consistent with the characteristics of the lesion area recognized by the system, and are classified as high-priority highlight labeling area. The pixel is directly included in the lesion labeling set.

[0123] The index obtained by this calculation falls into the last interval , so it can be determined that the pixel belongs to the "high-priority highlight labeling area"; the result shows that the pixel has high matching accuracy in structure and texture, and outstanding local gray abnormality. Its comprehensive characteristics meet the spatial distribution characteristics of the lesion area and the set standard of the organization structure response model, so its pixel position index, hierarchical label and rendering priority will be registered in the lesion area labeling data for subsequent call processing. The formula can uniformly measure multi-dimensional features by introducing normalized gray and texture parameters, taking into account abnormal deviation and structural synergy, and improve the accuracy and response ability of local lesion pixel recognition.

[0124] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the form of the present application. Any skilled person in the art can use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments applied to other fields, but any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution content of the present application still belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
