X-ray and ultrasound combined breast examination device and fusion imaging method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an X-ray and ultrasound combined breast examination device and a fusion imaging method thereof. The breast examination device comprises a rack, a rotatable X-ray examination module, an ultrasonic examination module capable of moving and reciprocating, an upper compression board, a lower compression board and an opening and closing mechanism which can drive the upper compression board and the lower compression board to open and close. Target breasts are fixed and compressed at the position of the breast examination device, the X-ray examination module and the ultrasonic examination module are adopted for examination, the positions and deformation of the target breasts are the same, ray image data and ultrasonic image data of corresponding points are overlaid to form a new breast image, the new breast image has the characteristics of a breast X-ray image and a breast ultrasonic image and facilitates diagnosis performed by a doctor, and the diagnosis result is accurate; the required image can be obtained by switching the X-ray examination module and the ultrasonic examination module, equipment resources are saved, the target breast image can be obtained more rapidly, and the working efficiency of the doctor is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mammary gland inspection device, in particular to a mammary gland inspection device combining X-rays and ultrasound and a fusion imaging method thereof. Background technique [0002] When using ultrasound equipment to examine the target breast, it is necessary to compress the target breast to the inside of the patient's body and perform periodic vibrations to obtain automatic elastography, while when using X-ray equipment to examine the target breast, it needs to be rotated to obtain layered Therefore, at present, only X-ray equipment or ultrasound equipment can be used for breast examination. The expenditure of equipment resources is repeated, resulting in waste, long examination time, and low work efficiency. [0003] In addition, ultrasound equipment inspection and X-ray equipment inspection generally require different body positions. The two inspection methods are carried out at different positions and deformations of the...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] When using ultrasound equipment to examine the target breast, it is necessary to compress the target breast to the inside of the patient's body and perform periodic vibrations to obtain automatic elastography, while when using X-ray equipment to examine the target breast, it needs to be rotated to obtain layered Therefore, at present, only X-ray equipment or ultrasound equipment can be used for mammary gland examination, and equipment resource expenditure is repeated, resulting in waste, long examination time, and low work efficiency.

[0003] In addition, ultrasound equipment inspection and X-ray equipment inspection generally require different body positions. The two inspection methods are carried out at different positions and deformations of the target breast. Therefore, the X-ray images obtained by X-ray equipment inspection, ultrasound equipment The breast ultrasound images obtained by the examination are two unrelated images, which cannot be further processed
