The application relates to the technical field of
bone imaging, and provides an ultrasonic
cancellous bone imaging method based on full-wave inversion, which comprises the following steps: S1: setting an imaged bone phantom model, emitting an ultrasonic pulse
signal, recording the ultrasonic pulse
signal passing through the model, and sampling the
signal as a
simulation experiment
wave field signal; S2: establishing a
simulation wave field, setting an initial sound velocity model as a current sound velocity model; S3: based on the current sound velocity model, carrying out forward modeling on the
simulation wave field, carrying out incremental extrapolation of the
forward wave field signal along the propagation direction of the ultrasonic pulse signal, recording the simulation wave field signal after completing one round of emission-reception; S4: constructing a
loss function, solving the
loss function by using a
conjugate gradient method, and updating the current sound velocity model; and S5: judging whether the
loss function converges or not, and outputting the current sound velocity model if the loss function converges. High-resolution
ultrasonic imaging of bone and
microstructure is realized, and the demand of bone
medical treatment and diagnosis with high precision requirements is met.
