Ultrasonic transducer scanning system, method and ultrasonic imaging equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging equipment, and specifically discloses an ultrasonic transducer scanning system. The invention includes a robot arm, a storage unit, a path generation unit and a control device. The end of the mechanical arm is provided with an ultrasonic transducer, so that the ultrasonic transducer can move and scan the surface of the target part to be inspected. The storage unit stores reference cross-sectional images corresponding to different target parts. The path generation unit generates moving path information according to the initial cross-sectional image collected by the ultrasonic transducer and the reference cross-sectional image. The control device controls the mechanical arm and the ultrasonic transducer to perform motion scanning according to the moving path information to obtain the target cross-sectional image. The invention also provides a scanning method and an ultrasonic imaging device. For example, during breast examination, the transducer module is moved to the patient's breast through the support arm for scanning. The invention can automatically acquire the target cross-sectional image of the target part that needs to be inspected, has a high degree of automation, and greatly improves the imaging efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic transducer scanning system, method and ultrasonic imaging equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, when medical staff perform ultrasound imaging diagnosis on patients, medical staff will use one hand to hold the transducer, then place it on the part to be examined for scanning and imaging, and use the other hand to control the ultrasound host, which is very inconvenient. At present, there are still some devices that fix the ultrasonic transducer on a support arm, and then manually move it to the examination site by the medical staff for examination. For example, during breast examination, the medical staff will move the transducer module to the patient through the support arm. The scan is performed on the breast, however, this way the operator still moves the ultrasound transducer to find the target cross-sectional image. ...
