Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ultrasound examination technology, and in particular to a method for generating an ultrasound examination report, a computer device, and an ultrasound imaging apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasound examinations, especially obstetric ultrasound examinations, typically require scanning many standard sections of the target object to obtain ultrasound cross-sectional images, also known as ultrasound images. The image features in these ultrasound images can provide information about the relevant anatomical structures and functions being examined. Based on the acquired ultrasound cross-sectional images, doctors can, according to their experience, determine whether the anatomical structures and functions are normal and record the results in the ultrasound examination report. Because there are many anatomical structures to be examined and recorded, relying solely on the doctor's experience for interpreting and recording ultrasound images is inefficient, prone to omissions, and may lead to incomplete ultrasound reports. Furthermore, if the doctor lacks experience, there is a possibility of missed diagnoses or misdiagnoses. Summary of the Invention

[0073] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0074] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.
[0075] It should be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0076] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0077] Please see Figure 1A , Figure 1AAn ultrasound imaging apparatus according to an embodiment of this application is described. Figure 1A A schematic structural block diagram of an ultrasound imaging apparatus according to an embodiment of this application is shown.
[0078] like Figure 1A As shown, the ultrasound imaging device 100 includes an ultrasound examination device 101, an ultrasound probe 110, and a display 300. The ultrasound examination device 101 is used to drive the ultrasound probe 110 to emit ultrasound waves toward the target object and acquire the echo signal of the emitted ultrasound waves to synthesize an ultrasound image (also called an ultrasound examination image or ultrasound cross-sectional image) based on the echo signal.
[0079] For example, the ultrasound examination device 101 includes a transmitting circuit 112, a receiving circuit 114, and a second processor 116. Further, the ultrasound examination device 101 may also include a transmit / receive selection switch 120 and a beamforming module 122, and the transmitting circuit 112 and the receiving circuit 114 can be connected to the ultrasound probe 110 through the transmit / receive selection switch 120.
[0080] The ultrasonic probe 110 includes multiple transducer array elements, referred to as array elements. These multiple transducer array elements can be arranged in a row to form a linear array, or arranged in a two-dimensional matrix to form a planar array. The multiple transducer array elements can also form a convex array. For example, the multiple transducer array elements can be arranged in a single row along a preset direction, or the multiple transducer array elements can be arranged in multiple rows along a preset direction.
[0081] Transducer elements are used to emit ultrasonic waves based on excitation electrical signals, or to convert received ultrasonic waves into electrical signals. Therefore, each transducer element can be used to convert between electrical pulse signals and ultrasonic waves, thereby enabling the emission of ultrasonic waves to the target tissue of the object being tested, and also to receive ultrasonic wave echoes reflected back from the tissue. During ultrasound examination, the transmission and reception sequences can be used to control which transducer elements emit ultrasonic waves and which receive them, or to control the transducer elements to emit or receive ultrasonic wave echoes in time slots. Transducer elements involved in ultrasonic wave emission can be simultaneously excited by electrical signals, thus emitting ultrasonic waves simultaneously; alternatively, transducer elements involved in ultrasonic beam emission can be excited by several electrical signals with certain time intervals, thus continuously emitting ultrasonic waves with certain time intervals.
[0082] During ultrasound imaging, the second processor 116 generates an ultrasound examination image of the target object based on the echo signal received by the ultrasound probe 110. Exemplarily, during ultrasound imaging, the second processor 116 controls the transmitting circuit 112 to send a delayed-focused transmission pulse to the ultrasound probe 110 via a transmit / receive selection switch 120. Excited by the transmission pulse, the ultrasound probe 110 emits an ultrasonic beam towards the target area of the target object, receives the ultrasonic echo reflected from the target area after a certain delay, and converts this ultrasonic echo back into an electrical signal. The receiving circuit 114 receives the electrical signal converted by the ultrasound probe 110, obtains the ultrasonic echo signal, and sends these ultrasonic echo signals to the beamforming module 122. The beamforming module 122 performs focusing delay, weighting, and channel summation on the ultrasonic echo data before sending it to the second processor 116. The second processor 116 performs signal inspection, signal enhancement, data conversion, and logarithmic compression on the ultrasonic echo signal to form an ultrasound image. The ultrasound images obtained by the second processor 116 can be displayed on the display 300 or stored in the second memory 124.
[0083] Optionally, the second processor 116 can be implemented as software, hardware, firmware, or any combination thereof, and can use one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), one or more general-purpose integrated circuits, one or more microprocessors, one or more programmable logic devices, or any combination of the foregoing circuits and / or devices, or other suitable circuits or devices. Furthermore, the second processor 116 can control other components in the ultrasound imaging apparatus 100 to perform the corresponding steps of the methods in the various embodiments of this specification.
[0084] The display 300 is connected to the second processor 116. The display 300 can be a touch screen, an LCD screen, etc.; or, the display 300 can be an independent display such as an LCD screen or a television, separate from the ultrasonic imaging device 100; or, the display 300 can be the screen of an electronic device such as a smartphone or tablet, etc. The number of displays 300 can be one or more.
[0085] The display 300 can display the ultrasound images obtained by the second processor 116. Furthermore, while displaying the ultrasound images, the display 300 can also provide a graphical user interface for human-computer interaction. One or more controlled objects can be set on the graphical interface, allowing the user to input operation commands via a human-computer interaction device to control these controlled objects and perform corresponding control operations. For example, icons can be displayed on the graphical interface, and the human-computer interaction device can be used to operate these icons to perform specific functions, such as drawing a region of interest bounding box on the ultrasound image.
[0086] Optionally, the ultrasound imaging device 100 may also include other human-machine interface devices besides the display 300, which are connected to the second processor 116. For example, the second processor 116 can be connected to the human-machine interface device via an external input / output port. The external input / output port can be a wireless communication module, a wired communication module, or a combination of both. The external input / output port can also be implemented based on USB, bus protocols such as CAN, and / or wired network protocols.
[0087] The human-computer interaction device may include an input device for checking user input information. This input information may be, for example, control commands for the timing of ultrasound transmission / reception, operational input commands for drawing points, lines, or boxes on an ultrasound image, or other types of commands. The input device may include one or a combination of several of the following: a keyboard, mouse, scroll wheel, trackball, mobile input device (e.g., a mobile device with a touchscreen, a mobile phone, etc.), a multi-function knob, etc. The human-computer interaction device may also include an output device such as a printer.
[0088] The ultrasound imaging device 100 may further include a second memory 124 for storing data. For example, the second memory 124 may store instructions or programs executed by the second processor 116, stored received ultrasound echoes, stored ultrasound images, etc. The second memory 124 may be a flash memory card, solid-state memory, hard disk, etc. It may be volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory, removable memory and / or non-removable memory, etc. For example, the second memory 124 may be a plug-in hard disk, a smart media card (SMC), a secure digital card (SD), a flash memory card, etc., equipped on the ultrasound imaging device 100.
[0089] It is understood that the second memory 124 can be set in the ultrasound examination device 101, or it can be set independently of the ultrasound examination device 101 and communicate with the ultrasound examination device 101.
[0090] It should be understood that Figure 1A The components included in the ultrasound imaging device 100 shown are merely illustrative and may include more or fewer components, which is not limited in this application.
[0091] Please see Figure 1B , Figure 1B A computer device according to one embodiment of this application is described. Figure 1A A schematic structural block diagram of a computer device according to an embodiment of this application is shown.
[0092] like Figure 1B As shown, the computer device 200 includes a first processor 201, a second memory 202, a communication interface (not shown), and an I / O interface (not shown). The first processor 201, the second memory 202, the communication interface, and the I / O interface communicate via a bus 203. The first processor 201 can be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), but it can also be other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.
[0093] The second memory 202 stores various computer programs, such as the operating system and application programs, for the first processor 201 to execute, as well as the data required to execute these programs. During the analysis of the sample under test, any data requiring local storage can be stored in the second memory 202. The I / O interface includes, but is not limited to, serial interfaces such as USB, IEEE 1394, or RS-232C; parallel interfaces such as SCSI, IDE, or IEEE 1284; and analog signal interfaces composed of D / A converters and converters. Input devices are connected to the I / O interface, allowing users to directly input data into the computer device 200. These input devices include, but are not limited to, keyboards, mice, touchscreens, or control buttons. A display can communicate with the computer device 200 through the I / O interface to provide relevant information prompts. The communication interface can be any known communication protocol. The communication interface communicates with the outside world via a network, allowing the computer device 200 to transmit data with any component connected through the network using a preset communication protocol.
[0094] Computer equipment 200 can be a terminal device or a server; the terminal device here may include, but is not limited to: computers, smartphones, tablets, laptops, intelligent voice interaction devices, etc.; the server here may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.
[0095] This application also provides a method for generating an ultrasound examination report. This method can be applied to the aforementioned ultrasound imaging device 100 and is executed by the second processor 116 of the ultrasound imaging device 100. For example, the data such as the program or instructions corresponding to the method for generating the ultrasound examination report are stored in the second memory 124. The second processor 116 executes the method steps corresponding to the method for generating an ultrasound examination report provided in this application embodiment by calling the program stored in the second memory 124.
[0096] Alternatively, the method for generating the ultrasound examination report can be applied to the aforementioned computer device 200 and executed by the first processor 201 of the computer device 200. For example, the data such as the program or instructions corresponding to the method for generating the ultrasound examination report are stored in the first memory 202. The first processor 201 executes the method steps corresponding to the method for generating an ultrasound examination report provided in this application embodiment by calling the program stored in the first memory 202.
[0097] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for generating an ultrasound examination report provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0098] The method for generating an ultrasound examination report can be applied to the aforementioned computer device 200 and executed by the second processor 116 of the computer device 200.
[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for generating the ultrasound examination report includes steps S101 to S107.
[0100] Step S101: Obtain the inspection information of the target object, and control the display connected to the computer device to display a report editing interface that matches the inspection information of the target object. The report editing interface displays at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure of the target object.
[0101] Please see Figures 3 to 6For example, the computer device 200 and the display 300 are connected to each other through a preset communication protocol, that is, the computer device 200 can transmit relevant data to the display 300 for display.
[0102] It is understood that the monitor 300 can be set up independently from the computer device 200, or the monitor 300 can be integrated into the computer device 200; there is no limitation on this.
[0103] The examination information for the target subject includes at least identity information and examination type. Identity information is used to uniquely identify the target subject and includes, but is not limited to, the target subject's name and identification number, such as a patient's ID card number or social security card number. Optionally, the examination information may also include at least one of the following: examination time, examination number, and the personnel performing the examination.
[0104] The examination type is used to characterize the anatomical structure of the target object requiring ultrasound examination and the corresponding examination items. Since different target objects may have different specific examination items, meaning different target objects may require different examination types during ultrasound examinations, and consequently, different target objects require different specific report content for their ultrasound examination reports. Therefore, to accurately and quickly output an ultrasound examination report matching the target object's current examination information, a corresponding matching report editing interface is set up for different examination information. The association between the examination information and the report editing interface is stored in memory 201. After obtaining the examination information of the target object, the report editing interface matching the target object's current examination information can be determined based on the association between the examination information, examination items, and report editing interface, and displayed on the display 300. This report editing interface has at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure of the target object. By filling in the examination results of at least one target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure, the specific report content of the ultrasound examination report can be edited or input. Optionally, the report editing interface also contains the target object's examination information.
[0105] For example, this explanation takes pregnant women as the target group and the type of examination required as obstetric ultrasound examination, but it is not limited to patients who need to undergo obstetric ultrasound examination.
[0106] Pregnancy is generally divided into three trimesters: early, middle, and late. Early pregnancy typically lasts from the start of conception until the end of the 13th week; middle pregnancy lasts from the 14th to the 27th week; and late pregnancy lasts from the 28th week onwards. Different trimesters require different types and items of medical examinations. Alternatively, the specific tests may vary depending on the stage of fetal development.
[0107] For example, some individuals require Level 2 screening, while others require Level 3 screening. Level 2 screening typically only examines the basic anatomical structures of the fetus, with fewer ultrasound views and anatomical structures examined. Level 3 screening requires a comprehensive and systematic examination of the fetus's anatomical structures, with more ultrasound views and anatomical structures examined. Level 2 screening usually records the examination results of major body parts, including the head, spine, heart, abdomen, and limbs. Level 3 screening, in addition to these basic areas, also examines the face, genitourinary system, and other areas, recording the main anatomical structures in each area. For example, the head requires recording the cavum septum pellucidum, thalamus, lateral fissure of the brain, lateral ventricles, cerebellum, cerebellar vermis, and cerebellomedullary cistern. Therefore, setting up corresponding report editing interfaces for different examination types can assist doctors in efficiently editing ultrasound examination reports.
[0108] like Figure 4 As shown, after receiving the examination information of the target object, it is determined that the target object needs to undergo a mid-pregnancy examination. Then, the display 300 displays a report editing interface 301 that matches the mid-pregnancy examination. The report editing interface 301 displays the first anatomical structure such as the head and brain, and also displays the target items that need to be examined in the brain, such as the thalamus, cavum septum pellucidum, lateral ventricles, and midline of the falx cerebri.
[0109] In some implementations, the inspection information of the target object can be obtained by receiving input information from an input device that is connected to the computer device 200 via a user trigger, and obtaining the inspection information of the target object based on the input information.
[0110] For example, input devices include, but are not limited to, at least one of a mouse, keyboard, button, touch panel, voice acquisition device, scanning device, or image recognition device. For instance, an input device may be a keyboard, allowing a user to input inspection information about a target object into computer device 200 by manipulating the keyboard.
[0111] Alternatively, the input device can be a scanning device. By scanning barcode information such as QR codes or barcodes that carry information about the target object, the inspection information of the target object can also be input into the computer device 200.
[0112] Alternatively, the input device is a voice acquisition device, which acquires voice carrying inspection information of the target object, converts the voice into inspection information of the target object, and inputs the inspection information of the target object into the computer device 200.
[0113] In some implementations, the inspection information of the target object can be obtained by acquiring the inspection information of the target object based on the user's selection of the target inspection task in the inspection task list displayed on the display interface.
[0114] For example, the display interface of the display 300 displays a list of examination tasks, and the list contains examination tasks for one or more patients. Each examination task is associated with the examination information of the corresponding patient. By selecting the examination task of the target object in the list of examination tasks, the examination information corresponding to the target object can be obtained.
[0115] Step S102: Obtain the ultrasound examination image corresponding to the target object.
[0116] For example, the ultrasound examination image can be an ultrasound examination image of the target object acquired in real time by the ultrasound imaging device 100, or it can be an ultrasound examination image of the target object acquired by the ultrasound imaging device 100 and stored in a corresponding memory, from which the computer device 200 retrieves the ultrasound examination image of the target object.
[0117] The ultrasound imaging device 100 can acquire ultrasound images of the target object by having its second processor 116 control the ultrasound imaging device 101 to emit ultrasound waves to the target object and process the received echo signals of the ultrasound waves to obtain ultrasound images.
[0118] For example, the second processor 116 of the ultrasound imaging device 100 controls the transmitting circuit 112 to excite the ultrasound probe 110 to emit ultrasound waves toward the target part of the target object, and drives the receiving circuit 114 to control the ultrasound probe 110 to receive the echo signal of the ultrasound waves, and generate an ultrasound examination image of the target object based on the echo signal.
[0119] It is understood that the target sites include, but are not limited to, the patient's neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic organs, and blood vessels in the limbs. The target tissues corresponding to the target sites can be neck organs such as the thyroid gland, parotid gland, submandibular gland, and neck blood vessels. The target tissues corresponding to the target sites can also be chest organs such as the pleura, lungs, heart and surrounding major blood vessels, and mediastinal lymph nodes. The target tissues corresponding to the target sites can also be abdominal organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, ureters, bladder, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and prostate.
[0120] Ultrasonic waves are emitted to the location corresponding to the target area via ultrasonic probe 110, and at least one frame of ultrasound examination image corresponding to the target ultrasound section of the target area is obtained based on the received ultrasound echo signal. This ultrasound examination image contains the anatomical structural features of the target area. That is, the ultrasound examination image of the target object obtained in this embodiment is an ultrasound image acquired in real time during the ultrasound examination of the target object by an ultrasound imaging device.
[0121] Step S103: Identify the anatomical structures in the ultrasound examination image to obtain the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the at least one second anatomical structure.
[0122] For example, after obtaining the ultrasound image corresponding to the target object, machine learning methods are used to analyze the image features or anatomical structure features in the ultrasound image, thereby identifying the anatomical structures in the ultrasound image based on the relevant features, thus achieving the identification of anatomical structures in the ultrasound image. The machine learning methods include, but are not limited to, neural network models (also called machine learning models) and feature recognition algorithms.
[0123] Optionally, the method for identifying anatomical structures in an ultrasound examination image includes: providing the ultrasound examination image as input to a preset machine learning model, and obtaining the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to at least one second anatomical structure based on the model output information of the machine learning model.
[0124] For example, the first memory 202 of the computer device 200 stores a preset machine learning model and / or feature recognition algorithm. The machine learning model may include a convolutional neural network (CNN), a support vector machine (SVM), a generative adversarial network (GAN), and / or other similar models trained using supervised, unsupervised, and / or reinforcement learning techniques. The machine learning model extracts and recognizes features from the ultrasound examination image, thereby identifying the recognition result corresponding to the second anatomical structure in the ultrasound examination image and the ultrasound examination result. The recognition result can be used to characterize the name of the structure corresponding to the currently identified anatomical structure, and the ultrasound examination result can be used to characterize whether the currently identified anatomical structure has any abnormalities.
[0125] For example, machine learning models learn features and regress parameters on a constructed database by stacking basic convolutional layers and fully connected layers. For an input ultrasound image, the bounding box of the region of interest corresponding to the ultrasound image can be regressed through the neural network in the machine learning model. At the same time, the category of the anatomical structure within the region of interest is obtained, that is, the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure corresponding to the ultrasound image and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to at least one second anatomical structure are obtained. Common neural networks include R-CNN, FastR-CNN, Faster-RCNN, SSD, YOLO, etc.
[0126] Optionally, the method for identifying anatomical structures in ultrasound examination images includes: performing feature recognition on anatomical structures in ultrasound examination images using a preset feature recognition algorithm to obtain the recognition result of at least one second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to at least one second anatomical structure.
[0127] For example, the feature recognition algorithm includes a feature extraction algorithm and a classifier. For instance, the feature extraction algorithm can be a traditional PCA, LDA, Haar features, texture features, etc., or a deep neural network can be used to extract features from the ultrasound examination image. Then, the extracted features are matched with a database, and discriminators such as KNN, SVM, random forest, and neural networks are used for classification to determine the category of the corresponding anatomical structure in the ultrasound examination image. That is, the recognition result of at least one second anatomical structure corresponding to the ultrasound examination image and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to at least one second anatomical structure are obtained.
[0128] Step S104: Control the display to show the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301.
[0129] In some embodiments, controlling the display to display the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301 includes: controlling the display to display the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301.
[0130] In some embodiments, the control display displays at least the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301, including: the control display 300 displays the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to at least one second anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301.
[0131] For example, to facilitate user verification of the accuracy of the identification results of the second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination results obtained through machine learning algorithms, after identifying the anatomical structures in the ultrasound examination image of the target object using machine learning methods, and obtaining the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure and the corresponding ultrasound examination results, the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure are displayed on the report editing interface 301 via the display 300. Alternatively, the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure and the corresponding ultrasound examination results are simultaneously displayed on the report editing interface 301 via the display 300.
[0132] After image recognition of the ultrasound image of the target object, if the second anatomical structures in the ultrasound image include at least the thalamus, lateral ventricles, and midline of the falx cerebri, then the recognition results of multiple second anatomical structures such as the thalamus, lateral ventricles, and midline of the falx cerebri are obtained. Simultaneously, the ultrasound examination results corresponding to the second anatomical structures, such as thalamus-visible, lateral ventricles-visible, and midline of the falx cerebri-visible, are obtained.
[0133] The display 300 shows the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301. Alternatively, the display 300 simultaneously shows the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure and the corresponding ultrasound examination results in the report editing interface 301, such as... Figure 5 As shown.
[0134] Step S105: Receive a confirmation instruction for the identification result of the at least one second anatomical structure, and determine at least one target identification result from the identification results of the at least one second anatomical structure.
[0135] For example, after the recognition results of at least one second anatomical structure are displayed in the report editing interface 301 of the display 300, the user can re-identify and confirm the ultrasound examination image based on experience to further improve the accuracy of the recognition results of the second anatomical structure identified from the ultrasound examination image of the target object through machine learning methods. Simultaneously, the user can also adjust the recognition results of the second anatomical structure displayed in the report editing interface 301 of the display 300 according to the required output of the ultrasound examination report. After adjustment, a confirmation command for the recognition results of at least one second anatomical structure is sent to the ultrasound imaging device by triggering the corresponding icon, button, or input device connected to the ultrasound imaging device. This allows the first processor 201 of the ultrasound imaging device to determine at least one target recognition result from the recognition results of at least one second anatomical structure. This target recognition result is used to assist the user in outputting the ultrasound examination report of the target object. Optionally, the report editing interface 301 is provided with a first editing icon 303 corresponding to the recognition results of at least one second anatomical structure. Before receiving a confirmation instruction for the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure, the first processor 201 is further configured to perform the following method: after detecting that the first edit icon 303 is triggered, the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure associated with the triggered first edit icon 303 can be edited, wherein the method of editing the identification result includes at least one of hiding the identification result, modifying the identification result, selecting the identification result, and deselecting the result.
[0136] For example, the recognition results corresponding to the second anatomical structures, such as thalamus-visible, lateral ventricle-visible, and falx cerebri-visible, can be selected by triggering the first editing icon 303. For instance, when thalamus-visible is selected, the first editing icon 303 associated with thalamus-visible is checked; conversely, when thalamus-visible is deselected, the first editing icon 303 associated with thalamus-visible is unchecked. Similarly, when lateral ventricle-visible is selected, the first editing icon 303 associated with lateral ventricle-visible is checked; conversely, when lateral ventricle-visible is deselected, the first editing icon 303 associated with lateral ventricle-visible is unchecked.
[0137] like Figure 5 As shown, after confirmation, the user selects the recognition results of second anatomical structures such as the falx cerebri midline-visible and thalamus-visible as the target recognition results through the report editing interface 301 displayed on the monitor 300. Optionally, the report editing interface 301 also sets a first confirmation icon 302, and the first processor 201 is further configured to execute the following method: after detecting that the first confirmation icon 302 has been triggered, a confirmation instruction for the recognition result of at least one second anatomical structure is generated. The methods for triggering the first confirmation icon 302 include, but are not limited to, clicking the first confirmation icon 302, dragging the first confirmation icon 302 to a preset position, and pressing the preset icon for a preset duration. For example, the user generates a confirmation instruction for the corresponding second anatomical structure recognition result by clicking the first confirmation icon 302 in the report editing interface 301 with the mouse. Figure 5 As shown.
[0138] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the report editing interface 301 is provided with a first interface area 301a and a second interface area 301b. The second interface area 301b is used to display the recognition result of at least one second anatomical structure, and the first interface area 301a is used to display at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure of the target object.
[0139] The first processor 201 is also used to perform the following method: after receiving a confirmation command, control the display 30 to hide the second interface area 301b.
[0140] Step S106: Control the display 300 to display the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the second anatomical structure that matches the at least one first anatomical structure in the second anatomical structure corresponding to the at least one target recognition result in the target item corresponding to the matched first anatomical structure.
[0141] like Figure 6 As shown, for example, after determining at least one target identification result from the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure according to the received confirmation instruction, the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the second anatomical structure that matches at least one first anatomical structure in the second anatomical structure corresponding to the at least one target identification result is automatically filled in and displayed in the target item corresponding to the matched first anatomical structure.
[0142] For example, after using the identification results of multiple second anatomical structures such as the thalamus, lateral ventricles, and midline of the falx cerebri as the target identification results, ultrasound examination results corresponding to the second anatomical structures such as thalamus-visible, lateral ventricles-visible, and midline of the falx cerebri-visible can be obtained.
[0143] Within the report editing interface 301, the ultrasound examination results corresponding to the second anatomical structures, such as thalamus-visible, lateral ventricle-visible, and midline of falx cerebri-visible, are automatically filled into the target items corresponding to the matched first anatomical structures within the report editing interface 301. For example, if thalamus-visible matches the target item thalamus of the first anatomical structure (brain), the examination result for the thalamus item in the first anatomical structure will be automatically filled in as visible. Similarly, if lateral ventricle-visible matches the target item lateral ventricle of the first anatomical structure (brain), the examination result for the lateral ventricle item in the first anatomical structure will be automatically filled in as visible.
[0144] In some implementations, the report editing interface is provided with a second editing icon for at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure;
[0145] Before receiving the report output instruction, the first processor 201 is also configured to: modify the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the target item associated with the triggered second editing icon after detecting that the second editing icon has been triggered.
[0146] For example, after the display 300 displays the ultrasound examination results corresponding to the second anatomical structure that matches at least one first anatomical structure in the second anatomical structure corresponding to at least one target identification result in the target item corresponding to the matched first anatomical structure, the user can further modify the examination results in the target item displayed in the report editing interface 301 to further improve the accuracy of the ultrasound examination report of the target object to be output.
[0147] For example, after further reviewing and verifying the ultrasound images of the target object, if a user discovers an abnormality in the lateral ventricle, the user can trigger the second editing icon 304 associated with the lateral ventricle in the report editing interface 301 to modify the ultrasound examination results related to the lateral ventricle. The modification can be done via a drop-down menu or manually input via an input device; no specific method is specified here. Figure 7 As shown.
[0148] Step S107: Receive a report output instruction and, in response to the report output instruction, generate an ultrasound examination report for the target object based at least on the ultrasound examination results in the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure displayed in the report editing interface.
[0149] like Figure 6As shown, exemplarily, the report editing interface 301 includes a report generation icon 305. When the report generation icon 305 is triggered, a report output command can be generated. After confirming that the ultrasound examination report for the target object is complete and accurate, the user can send a report output command to the computer device 200 by triggering the report generation icon 305. Upon receiving the report output command, the computer device 200 responds by generating an ultrasound examination report for the target object based at least on the ultrasound examination results of the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure displayed in the report editing interface. That is, the ultrasound examination report at least records the ultrasound examination results of the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure confirmed by the user.
[0150] It is understood that the ways to trigger the report generation icon 305 include, but are not limited to, clicking the report generation icon 305 or pressing the report generation icon 305 for a preset duration.
[0151] In some embodiments, the first processor 201 is further configured to: receive supplementary examination results of the target object from the user, and generate an ultrasound examination report of the target object based at least on the ultrasound examination results displayed in the target item corresponding to the corresponding first anatomical structure within the report editing interface, including:
[0152] An ultrasound examination report for the target object is generated based on at least the ultrasound examination results and supplementary examination results displayed in the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure in the report editing interface.
[0153] For example, the supplementary examination results of the target object can be information entered by the user through the supplementary information input port. The entered information can be text information, voice information, or image information. After receiving the relevant information entered by the user through the supplementary information input port, the computer device 200 can generate the supplementary examination results of the target object and use the supplementary examination results to improve the ultrasound examination report of the target object, so as to make the ultrasound examination report of the target object more complete.
[0154] Optionally, the supplementary information input port can be set within the report editing interface 301, accessible by triggering the supplementary information icon. The methods for triggering the supplementary information icon include, but are not limited to, clicking the supplementary information icon.
[0155] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the computer device 200 is also communicatively connected to the printing device 400, and after receiving a report output instruction, the computer device 200 controls the printing device 400 to print the ultrasound examination report.
[0156] Alternatively, after receiving a report printing instruction, the computer device 200 controls the printing device 400 to print the ultrasound examination report. The report printing instruction is set in a preset display interface of the display 300, such as, but not limited to, the report editing interface 301 and the report preview interface.
[0157] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for generating an ultrasound examination report provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0158] The method for generating an ultrasound examination report can be applied to the aforementioned computer device 200 and executed by the second processor 116 of the computer device 200.
[0159] like Figure 8 As shown, the method for generating the ultrasound examination report includes steps S201 to S205.
[0160] Step S201: Obtain the inspection information of the target object, and control the display connected to the computer device to display a report editing interface that matches the inspection information of the target object. The report editing interface displays at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure of the target object.
[0161] Step S202: Obtain the ultrasound examination image corresponding to the target object.
[0162] Step S203: Identify the anatomical structures in the ultrasound examination image to obtain the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the at least one second anatomical structure.
[0163] Step S204: Control the display to display the ultrasound examination results corresponding to the second anatomical structure that matches the at least one first anatomical structure in the at least one second anatomical structure in the target item corresponding to the matched first anatomical structure.
[0164] Step S205: Receive a report output instruction and, in response to the report output instruction, generate an ultrasound examination report for the target object based at least on the ultrasound examination results in the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure displayed in the report editing interface.

[0166] The difference between this embodiment and the method for generating an ultrasound examination report provided in the first embodiment above is that, after identifying the anatomical structure in the ultrasound examination image of the target object through machine learning, and obtaining the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure and the ultrasound examination result corresponding to at least one second anatomical structure, the computer device 200 can directly and automatically match the identification result of at least one second anatomical structure with at least one first anatomical structure, and automatically fill in and display the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the matched second anatomical structure in the target item corresponding to the matched first anatomical structure.
[0167] In one embodiment, the computer device 200 can automatically determine at least one target identification result from the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure. For example, the computer device 200 can obtain the identification result matching the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure from the identification results of the second anatomical structure as the target identification result, and automatically fill in and display the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the second anatomical structure that matches at least one first anatomical structure in the second anatomical structure corresponding to the at least one target identification result in the target item corresponding to the matched first anatomical structure. That is, during the process of automatically filling in the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure in the report editing interface 301, the computer device 200 can automatically determine at least one target identification result from the obtained identification results of the second anatomical structure and automatically associate and fill it into the target item corresponding to the first anatomical structure that matches the second anatomical structure.
[0168] If the user finds no abnormalities during the review process, they can tap the corresponding icon to generate the corresponding report output command. Alternatively, if the user finds abnormalities during the review process, they can perform the corresponding adjustment or modification operations.
[0169] That is, in some implementations, obtaining inspection information of the target object includes:

[0171] Alternatively, based on the user's selection of a target inspection task in the inspection task list displayed on the monitor, the inspection information of the target object can be obtained.
[0172] In some embodiments, acquiring an ultrasound examination image corresponding to a target object includes: acquiring an ultrasound examination image sent by an ultrasound imaging device, which is obtained by transmitting ultrasound waves to the target object through the ultrasound imaging device and processing the echo signals of the received ultrasound waves.
[0173] In some embodiments, the first processor 201 identifies anatomical structures in ultrasound examination images, including:

[0176] In some implementations, the report editing interface is provided with a second editing icon for at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure;
[0177] Before receiving the report output instruction, the first processor 201 is also used to perform the following method steps: after detecting that the second editing icon has been triggered, the ultrasound examination result corresponding to the target item associated with the triggered second editing icon can be modified.

[0183] In some implementations, the report editing interface is provided with a first interface area and a second interface area. The second interface area is used to display the identification results of at least one second anatomical structure, and the first interface area is used to display at least one target item corresponding to at least one first anatomical structure of the target object.
[0184] In some implementations, the first processor 201 is also configured to perform the following method steps: after receiving a report output instruction, control the display to hide the second interface area.
