Abstract

The invention discloses a system and a method for real-time ultrasonic elastography displacement estimation. The method includes: firstly, pre-estimating to-be-processed two frames of radio-frequency signals by means of the two-dimensional matching algorithm to obtain a displacement field U(u,v), wherein displacement variation exists between the two frames of radio-frequency signals; secondly, setting a priori estimate tp which is equal to the axial displacement Ut(u) of the displacement field U(u,v); thirdly, keeping displacement of the two frames of radio-frequency signals within a 1 / 4 wavelength; and finally, calculating phase shift according to the priori estimate tp and the lateral placement Ut(v) of the displacement field U(u,v) to obtain the axial displacement field u(t). By means of the system and the method for real-time ultrasonic elastography displacement estimation, the problem of phase aliasing in traditional phase shifting algorithm is solved, and estimation precision is effectively improved on the premise of giving consideration to the arithmetic speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasound elastography, in particular to a real-time ultrasound elastography displacement estimation method and system. Background technique [0002] Soft tissue lesions are often accompanied by changes in tissue stiffness. For example, breast or prostate solid tumors are harder than normal tissue, while liquid cysts are less firm than normal tissue. Traditionally, clinicians use palpation to qualitatively judge the softness and firmness of masses. However, when the mass is buried deep inside the soft tissue or is small in size, it is difficult to detect these tissue lesions by palpation. Ultrasound elastography is a new ultrasound imaging technology that has developed rapidly in recent years. It can image tissue mechanical properties (such as tissue elasticity and tissue hardness) and provide more functional information for clinical disease diagnosis. [0003] However, there are certain defic...
