[0002] An ultrasonic report is a detailed record formed by a doctor after checking the internal structure of a patient's body through ultrasonic technology. Its content usually includes image description, measurement data, abnormal findings, and diagnostic opinions. The report first checks the patient's basic information, then describes the structure, size, location, echo characteristics, and blood flow observed under two-dimensional ultrasound or color Doppler. Key measurement data are listed in the report, and any abnormal findings such as lumps, cysts, and stones are pointed out, along with their specific characteristics. Based on these observations, the doctor will give a preliminary diagnosis or suggestion, which may include confirming the disease, excluding the possibility, proposing further examination or treatment plan. In addition, the report will mention the limitations of the ultrasonic examination and may give follow-up suggestions. Finally, the report will have the signatures of the examining doctor and the quality control doctor to ensure its accuracy and reliability. When interpreting an ultrasonic report, it should be combined with the patient's clinical manifestations and other examination results for comprehensive judgment.

[0052] Time logic: Check that the date is not later than the report date, and the follow-up suggestion needs to be clear about the time range;

[0053] Step two, obtain historical ultrasound information data, and form a historical ultrasound information data set.
