Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of medical diagnostics, specifically to an ultrasound imaging operation method and an ultrasound scanning imaging system for medical diagnostics. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound imaging equipment is a common medical device that emits ultrasound waves and receives their echo signals. It uses the intensity, time, and frequency information of the echo signals to generate images of internal human tissues. Unlike X-ray imaging, ultrasound imaging does not emit radiation that threatens human health; therefore, it is a frequently used and long-term auxiliary tool for medical diagnosis.

[0003] During an ultrasound scan, the ultrasound operator can save the ultrasound scan images or pictures and transmit them to the diagnostic physician for review. For example, when a patient in an underdeveloped area wants to receive a diagnosis from a specialist at a major hospital, the ultrasound operator needs to scan the patient, save the ultrasound scan images, and send them to the diagnostic physician, who can then review the images at any time to make a diagnosis. Similarly, when a patient needs consultation with doctors from different departments, the ultrasound scan images need to be sent to the respective physicians for review. However, during ultrasound diagnosis, the ultrasound operator's technique, probe placement, and posture help the diagnostic physician to more accurately understand the patient's condition. The diagnostic physician cannot discern the operator's technique from the received ultrasound images, which to some extent affects the diagnostic accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an ultrasound imaging operation method and an ultrasound scanning imaging system for medical diagnosis.

[0006] An ultrasonic scan is performed on the area to be scanned to obtain ultrasonic scan images, which include several frames of ultrasonic scan images;

[0007] Capture probe operation images corresponding to the ultrasound scan images. The probe operation images include several frames of probe operation images that correspond one-to-one with the ultrasound scan images in time. Each frame of probe operation images includes images of the probe and the scanned area.

[0008] Save ultrasound scan images and probe operation images;

[0009] Playback of ultrasound scan images and probe operation images: When any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe operation image displays the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image.

[0010] Furthermore, the ultrasound scan image is located in the first display area, and the probe operation image is located in the second display area. The first display area is fixed, and the second display area is adjustable.

[0011] Furthermore, the second display area can be turned on or off by clicking on the display screen. When the second display area is turned on, the camera starts shooting; when the second display area is turned off, the camera stops shooting.

[0012] Furthermore, when the second display area is opened and an ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area, the camera starts recording; when the second display area is opened and no ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area, the camera stops recording; when the second display area is closed, the camera stops recording.

[0013] Furthermore, when the first display area detects an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the second display area opens and the camera operates; when the first display area does not detect an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the camera stops operating.

[0014] Furthermore, the ultrasound images of the scanned area are identified using artificial intelligence methods.

[0015] This application also provides an operation method for an ultrasound scanning imaging system. The ultrasound scanning imaging system includes a probe and a diagnostic device connected to the probe. The diagnostic device includes a display screen, a camera, and a storage module. The operation method of the ultrasound scanning imaging system includes:

[0016] The probe scans the area to be scanned to obtain an ultrasonic scan image, which includes several frames of ultrasonic scan images. The display screen has a first display area for real-time display of the ultrasonic scan images.

[0017] The probe operation image is captured by a camera and corresponds to the ultrasound scan image. The probe operation image includes several frames of probe operation images that correspond one-to-one with the ultrasound scan image in time. Each frame of probe operation image includes the probe and the scanned part. The display screen is provided with a second display area for real-time display of probe operation images. The second display area can be turned on or off as needed.

[0018] Ultrasonic scan images and probe operation images are saved in the storage module;

[0019] The display screen plays back the ultrasound scan image and probe operation image so that when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the first display area, the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the second display area.

[0020] Furthermore, the camera is activated when the second display area is open and deactivated when the second display area is closed.

[0021] This application also provides an ultrasound scanning imaging system, including a probe and a diagnostic device connected to the probe. The diagnostic device includes a display screen, a camera, and a storage module. The ultrasound scanning imaging system is applied to the aforementioned ultrasound imaging operation method for medical diagnosis or the aforementioned operation method of the ultrasound scanning imaging system, wherein:

[0022] The probe is used to scan the area to be scanned to obtain ultrasound scan images, which include several frames of ultrasound scan images. The display screen has a first display area for real-time display of ultrasound scan images.

[0023] The camera is used to capture probe operation images corresponding to the ultrasound scan images. The probe operation images include several frames of probe operation images that correspond one-to-one with the ultrasound scan images in time. Each frame of probe operation images includes images of the probe and the scanned area. The display screen is provided with a second display area for real-time display of probe operation images.

[0024] The storage module is used to save ultrasound scan images and probe operation images;

[0025] The display screen plays back the ultrasound scan image and probe operation image so that when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the first display area, the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the second display area.

[0026] Furthermore, the diagnostic device also includes a signal processing module, which is used to receive and process the ultrasound echo signal from the probe to generate an ultrasound scan image. The signal processing module is also used to temporally correlate the ultrasound scan image and the probe operation image so that when the ultrasound scan image and the probe operation image are played back, and when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe operation image displays the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image.

[0027] The technical solution of this application has at least the following advantages:

[0028] This application acquires and saves ultrasound scan images and probe operation images. When playing back the ultrasound scan images and probe operation images, if any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe operation image corresponding to that frame of the ultrasound scan image will be displayed. When a diagnostic physician views the ultrasound scan images, they can simultaneously view the ultrasound operator's techniques, the probe placement and posture, and the image of the scanned area. This allows the diagnostic physician to more accurately understand the patient's condition, thereby assisting in accurate diagnosis and improving diagnostic accuracy. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; and they can refer to a wireless connection or a wired connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] This embodiment provides an ultrasound imaging operation method for medical diagnosis. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an ultrasound imaging operation method for medical diagnosis according to Embodiment 1 of this application, referred to... Figure 1 The ultrasound imaging procedure used for medical diagnosis includes the following steps:

[0040] An ultrasonic scan is performed on the area to be scanned to obtain ultrasonic scan images, which include several frames of ultrasonic scan images;

[0041] Ultrasound scan images are obtained by scanning the target organ or fetus with a probe. The target organ is the organ that needs to be diagnosed when the patient visits the clinic, such as abdominal organs, heart, blood vessels, urinary system, etc.

[0042] Capture probe operation images corresponding to the ultrasound scan images. The probe operation images include several frames of probe operation images that correspond one-to-one with the ultrasound scan images in time. Each frame of probe operation images includes images of the probe and the scanned area.

[0043] Capturing probe operation images and acquiring ultrasonic scan images are performed simultaneously. Probe operation images are generally captured using a camera. While the operator is performing ultrasonic scanning on the sweeper, the probe operation images are captured in real time, ensuring that both the probe and the area being scanned are captured simultaneously.

[0044] Save ultrasound scan images and probe operation images;

[0045] Playback of ultrasound scan images and probe operation images: When any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe operation image displays the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image.

[0046] The acquired ultrasound scan images and probe operation images are temporally correlated and saved so that when the ultrasound scan images and probe operation images are played back, when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe operation image displays the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image.

[0047] The aforementioned ultrasound imaging operation method for medical diagnosis acquires and saves ultrasound scan images and probe operation images. When playing back the ultrasound scan images and probe operation images, if any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe operation image corresponding to that frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed. When the diagnostic physician views the ultrasound scan images, they can simultaneously view the ultrasound operator's techniques, the probe placement and posture, and the image of the scanned area. This allows the diagnostic physician to more accurately understand the patient's condition, thereby assisting in accurate diagnosis and improving diagnostic accuracy.

[0048] In some embodiments, the ultrasound scan image is located in a first display area, and the probe operation image is located in a second display area. The first display area is fixed, and the second display area is adjustable. Specifically, the first and second display areas can be arranged vertically, side-by-side, or stacked. When stacked, the second display area is generally above the first display area and is smaller than the first display area, ensuring that the second display area does not obstruct the ultrasound scan image and the first display area does not obstruct the probe operation image. Preferably, in this application, the first and second display areas are arranged vertically. Specifically, a fixed setting means that the first display area is always displayed during ultrasound scanning, while an adjustable setting means that the second display area can be opened or closed by the operator during ultrasound scanning, or the second display area can be left closed during ultrasound scanning.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second display area can be turned on or off by clicking on the display screen. When the second display area is on, the camera starts recording; when the second display area is off, the camera stops recording. Turning the camera on or off by opening and closing the second display area provides more convenient control over the camera's operation, allowing the operator to access probe operation video at any time after opening the second display area. Specifically, the first and second display areas are generally displayed on a screen, which can be a touchscreen or a non-touchscreen. The operator can select to turn the second display area on or off by clicking on the screen. Clicking on the screen can be done via touchscreen or by clicking with a mouse, etc., and the method of clicking is not limited here. When the camera starts recording, the operator can access probe operation video at any time.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the second display area is open and an ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area, the camera starts capturing images; when the second display area is open and no ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area, the camera stops capturing images; when the second display area is closed, the camera stops capturing images. Using the presence or absence of an ultrasound image of the scanned area in the first display area as one of the criteria for starting camera capturing images allows the camera to remain off when the operator has not scanned the scanned area, saving energy consumption of the device acquiring probe operation images and extending the usage time of the device. Specifically, whether there is an ultrasound image of the scanned area in the first display area can be detected by sensing whether the probe is in contact with the scanned area, for example, by setting a sensor on the probe to detect whether the probe is in contact with the scanned area.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the first display area detects an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the second display area opens and the camera operates; when the first display area does not detect an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the camera stops operating. By opening the second display area and operating the camera when the first display area detects an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the operator can immediately acquire probe operation images corresponding to the ultrasound scan images during ultrasound scanning. This simplifies the operator's process of opening the second display area. Furthermore, by stopping the camera when the first display area does not detect an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the operator avoids the process of closing the second display area, thus facilitating the acquisition of probe operation images.

[0052] In some embodiments, the ultrasound image of the scanned area is identified using artificial intelligence methods. Specifically, artificial intelligence methods are used to identify whether an ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area. The artificial intelligence method is more accurate in identifying the ultrasound image of the scanned area and can promptly obtain information on whether an ultrasound scan image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] This embodiment provides an operation method for an ultrasound scanning imaging system. The ultrasound imaging system includes a probe and a diagnostic device connected to the probe. The diagnostic device includes a display screen, a camera, and a storage module. The operation method of the ultrasound scanning imaging system includes:

[0055] The probe scans the area to be scanned to obtain an ultrasonic scan image, which includes several frames of ultrasonic scan images. The display screen has a first display area for real-time display of the ultrasonic scan images.

[0056] The probe can be a convex array probe, a linear array probe, a phased array probe, etc. The operator can select the appropriate probe according to the scanning needs.

[0057] The probe operation image is captured by the camera and corresponds to the ultrasound scan image. The probe operation image includes several frames of probe operation images that correspond one-to-one with the ultrasound scan image in time. Each frame of probe operation image includes the probe and the scanned part. The display screen is provided with a second display area for real-time display of probe operation images. The second display area can be turned on or off as needed.

[0058] When the operator needs to capture images of the lens operation, the second display area needs to be turned on. When the operator does not need to capture images of the probe operation, the second display area can be kept off, so that only the ultrasound scan images are acquired. Through the above settings, the operator can perform ultrasound scans according to their own needs.

[0059] Ultrasonic scan images and probe operation images are saved in the storage module;

[0060] The display screen plays back the ultrasound scan image and probe operation image so that when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the first display area, the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the second display area.

[0061] The acquired ultrasound scan images and probe operation images are temporally correlated and stored in the storage module. This allows the ultrasound scan images and probe operation images to be displayed in the second display area when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the first display area, and the probe operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the second display area.

[0062] Once the ultrasound scan images and probe operation images are saved, the operator or diagnostic physician can retrieve and replay the ultrasound scan images and the corresponding probe operation images from the storage module. When replaying the ultrasound operation images, the probe operation images will be displayed synchronously with the ultrasound operation images.

[0063] The aforementioned ultrasound scanning imaging system operates by acquiring ultrasound scanning images through a probe and capturing probe operation images through a camera. Both the ultrasound scanning images and probe operation images are stored in a storage module. When playing back the ultrasound scanning images and probe operation images, if any frame of the ultrasound scanning image is displayed, the probe operation image corresponding to that frame is also displayed. When a diagnostic physician views the ultrasound scanning images, they can simultaneously see the ultrasound operator's techniques, the probe's placement and posture, and the image of the scanned area. This allows the physician to gain a more accurate understanding of the patient's condition, thus assisting in precise diagnosis and improving diagnostic accuracy.

[0064] In some embodiments, the ultrasound scan image is located in a first display area of ​​the screen, and the probe operation image is located in a second display area of ​​the screen. The first display area is fixed, and the second display area is adjustable. Specifically, the first and second display areas can be arranged vertically, side-by-side, or stacked on the screen. When stacked, the second display area is generally above the first display area and is smaller than the first display area, ensuring that the second display area does not obstruct the ultrasound scan image and the first display area does not obstruct the probe operation image. Preferably, in this application, the first and second display areas are arranged vertically on the screen. Specifically, a fixed setting means that the first display area is always displayed on the screen during ultrasound scanning, while an adjustable setting means that the second display area can be opened or closed by the operator during ultrasound scanning, or the second display area can be left closed during ultrasound scanning.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second display area can be turned on or off by clicking on the display screen. When the second display area is on, the camera starts recording; when the second display area is off, the camera stops recording. Turning the camera on or off by opening and closing the second display area provides more convenient control over the camera's operation, allowing the operator to access probe operation video at any time after opening the second display area. Specifically, the first and second display areas are generally displayed on a screen, which can be a touchscreen or a non-touchscreen. The operator can select to turn the second display area on or off by clicking on the screen. Clicking on the screen can be done via touchscreen or by clicking with a mouse, etc., and the method of clicking is not limited here. When the camera starts recording, the operator can access probe operation video at any time.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the second display area is open and an ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area, the camera starts capturing images; when the second display area is open and no ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area, the camera stops capturing images; when the second display area is closed, the camera stops capturing images. Using the presence or absence of an ultrasound image of the scanned area in the first display area as one of the criteria for starting camera capturing images allows the camera to remain off when the operator has not scanned the scanned area, saving energy consumption of the device acquiring probe operation images and extending the usage time of the device. Specifically, whether there is an ultrasound image of the scanned area in the first display area can be detected by sensing whether the probe is in contact with the scanned area, for example, by setting a sensor on the probe to detect whether the probe is in contact with the scanned area.

[0067] In some embodiments, when the first display area detects an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the second display area opens and the camera operates; when the first display area does not detect an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the camera stops operating. By opening the second display area and operating the camera when the first display area detects an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the operator can immediately acquire probe operation images corresponding to the ultrasound scan images during ultrasound scanning. This simplifies the operator's process of opening the second display area. Furthermore, by stopping the camera when the first display area does not detect an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the operator avoids the process of closing the second display area, thus facilitating the acquisition of probe operation images.

[0068] In some embodiments, the ultrasound image of the scanned area is identified using artificial intelligence methods. Specifically, artificial intelligence methods are used to identify whether an ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area. The artificial intelligence method is more accurate in identifying the ultrasound image of the scanned area and can promptly obtain information on whether an ultrasound scan image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area.

[0069] Example 3

[0070] This embodiment provides an ultrasound scanning imaging system, which is applied to the ultrasound imaging operation method for medical diagnosis in Embodiment 1 or the operation method of the ultrasound scanning imaging system in Embodiment 2. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the ultrasound scanning imaging system according to an embodiment of this application, with reference to... Figure 2 The ultrasound scanning imaging system includes a probe 1 and a diagnostic device 2 connected to the probe 1. The connection between the probe 1 and the diagnostic device 2 can be wired, wireless, or any other connection method, as long as it enables electrical connection between the probe 1 and the diagnostic device 2. The probe 1 is used to transmit and receive ultrasound signals and transmit the received ultrasound echo signals to the diagnostic device 2.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagnostic device 2 includes a display screen 22, a camera 21, and a storage module 23. The probe 1 is used to scan the area to be scanned to obtain ultrasound scan images. The ultrasound scan images include several frames of ultrasound scan images. The display screen 22 has a first display area 221 for real-time display of the ultrasound scan images. The camera 21 is used to capture probe 1 operation images corresponding to the ultrasound scan images. The probe 1 operation images include several frames of probe 1 operation images that correspond one-to-one with the ultrasound scan images in time. Each frame of probe 1 operation image includes an image of the probe 1 and the scanned area. The display screen 22 has a second display area 222 for real-time display of probe 1 operation images.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The storage module 23 is used to store ultrasound scan images and probe 1 operation images; the ultrasound scan images and probe 1 operation images are played back on the display screen 22 so that when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the first display area 221, the probe 1 operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed in the second display area 222. In some embodiments, the diagnostic device 2 may be an ultrasound cart connected to a camera 21, a portable ultrasound device connected to a camera 21, or a mobile phone or computer that can be connected to the probe 1, etc., without limitation.

[0073] The second display area 222 can be turned on or off as needed. When the second display area 222 is on, the first display area 221 and the second display area 222 can be displayed side by side or vertically, or the second display area 222 can be stacked on top of the first display area 221. However, the position of the second display area 222 should not obstruct the operator's or doctor's view of the ultrasound scan image, and the first display area 221 should not obstruct the second display area 222 to allow the operator or doctor to view the probe 1 operation image. Preferably, the first display area 221 and the second display area 222 are displayed vertically, with the first display area 221 located below the second display area 222.

[0074] In some embodiments, the diagnostic device 2 further includes a control component 25, which is used to receive instruction signals transmitted to the diagnostic device 2 by an operator or diagnostic physician. The instruction signals may be instructions to turn on or off the second display area 222, instructions to switch the scanning mode of the probe 1, etc. Furthermore, the display screen 22 is a touch screen, and the display screen 22 has a third display area 223 suitable for displaying the control component 25. The operator or diagnostic physician can operate the control component 25 by touching the third display area 223.

[0075] In some embodiments, the diagnostic device 2 further includes a signal processing module 24, which receives and processes the ultrasound echo signal from the probe 1 to generate an ultrasound scan image. The signal processing module 24 is also used to temporally correlate the ultrasound scan image and the probe 1 operation image, so that when the ultrasound scan image and the probe 1 operation image are played back, when any frame of the ultrasound scan image is displayed, the probe 1 operation image displays the probe 1 operation image corresponding to the current frame of the ultrasound scan image.

[0076] In some embodiments, the operator inputs a save command through the control component 25. When the signal processing module 24 receives the save command, it saves the ultrasound scan image and the probe 1 operation image according to the save command.

[0077] In some embodiments, the diagnostic device 2 further includes an artificial intelligence module. This module detects whether there is an ultrasound image of the scanned area in the first display area 221 and whether the second display area 222 is open, and transmits the detection results to the signal processing module 24. The signal processing module 24 activates or deactivates the camera 21 based on the detection results. Specifically, when the second display area 222 is open and an ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area 221, the camera 21 starts capturing images; when the second display area 222 is open and no ultrasound image of the scanned area is generated in the first display area 221, the camera 21 deactivates capturing images; when the second display area 222 is closed, the camera 21 deactivates capturing images.

[0078] In some embodiments, the artificial intelligence module is used to detect whether there is an ultrasound image of the scanned area in the first display area 221, and transmits the detection result to the signal processing module 24. The signal processing module 24 opens or closes the second display area 222 and starts or stops the camera 21 according to the detection result. Specifically, when the first display area 221 detects an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the second display area 222 is opened and the camera 21 is activated; when the first display area 221 does not detect an ultrasound image of the scanned area, the camera 21 stops working.

[0079] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
