Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical ultrasound imaging, in particular to a quantitative shear wave elasticity imaging system. The quantitative ultrasonic elasticity imaging method and system provided by the invention are based on strain of sliding window linear fitting and shear wave velocity detection algorithm of two-dimensional linear fitting, the noise immunity is relatively high, and results are relatively reliable. Moreover, ultrasonic universe quantitative elasticity imaging is realized under the condition that an extra load of an ultrasonic front-end storage and transmission module is not increased, and the design difficulty and equipment cost of the ultrasonic quantitative elasticity imaging system are greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical ultrasonic imaging, in particular to a quantitative shear wave elastography system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, tumor diseases have become the main killer that endangers the health of our people. The key to the prevention and treatment of tumor diseases lies in early detection. Clinically, changes in the mechanical characteristics of human tissues are often the most important early warning signals for tumor diseases, such as breast, thyroid and other tumor lesions. With the growth of the tumor, the viscoelasticity of the diseased tissue changes greatly compared with the normal tissue. For example, the difference between the breast cancer and the surrounding normal tissue is about 90 times. There are also large differences in the coefficients. Therefore, obtaining parameter information related to viscoelasticity of human tissue (such as deformation displacement, shear wave velo...
