Method and electric equipment for achieving ultrasound cranial focusing

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and electric equipment for achieving ultrasound cranial focusing. Under the condition of not performing CT imaging on the head of a to-be-treated object, by simply inputting head nuclear magnetic resonance image data of the object into a target model obtained through training, synthesized head CT image data output by the target model can be obtained, the electric equipment can generate an ultrasonic emission sequence according to a head three-dimensional digital model and a three-dimensional digital model of an ultrasonic transducer array, andthe electric equipment controls the ultrasonic transducer array to emit an ultrasonic wave according to the ultrasonic emission sequence, so that cranial focusing of the head of the to-be-treated object can be achieved, and therapy such as ultrasonic deep brain stimulation or ultrasonic thermal ablation is performed; the risk of cancer caused by irradiation during CT imaging of the to-be-treatedobject is eliminated, the safety of therapy is improved, the therapy steps can also be simplified, the therapy time is greatly shortened, and the therapy cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to a method and electronic equipment for realizing ultrasonic transcranial focusing. Background technique [0002] With the influence of factors such as social aging and deepening psychological pressure, the number of patients with neuropsychiatric diseases such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and epilepsy has increased sharply worldwide. Five hundred and sixty million. Scientists in Germany reported that electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex of dogs can trigger specific physical responses. This major discovery gave birth to a series of intervention technologies such as brain electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, and neural implantation in the following century, which greatly promoted people's understanding of the functional location of the cerebral cortex and the research and development of brain disease resea...

Problems solved by technology

However, this method requires patients to undergo three-dimensional CT scans. On the one hand, it will increase the radiation dose received by patients and increase the risk of cancer in patients (according to statistics, 0.4% of cancer patients in the United States are caused by radiation CT); On the one hand, both deep brain nerve stimulation and intracranial HIFU treatment are performed under the guidance of nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI). Therefore, accurate registration of CT images and MRI images is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the treatment position. These extra steps add cost, time to treatment, and additional risk from registration errors
