Problems solved by technology

The system adopts a tomographic scanning mode similar to conventional X-tomography, and obtains information on discrete layers of tissue. Due to the influence of scanning time on the results, the interval between layers is at the millimeter level, while the resolution of ultrasonic tomographic images reaches Submillimeter level, which brings difficulties to subsequent 3D reconstruction

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of ultrasonic tomography, and discloses an ultrasonic tomography three-dimensional imaging method and system based on spiral scanning. The method comprises the following steps: (1) collecting original data, namely, while a probe keeps uniform linear motion, switching a transmitting array element to enable the change track of the position of an equivalent transmitting array element along with time in a three-dimensional space to be in a spiral shape or a partially spiral shape, and receiving echo data; (2) carrying out data preprocessing; (3) calculating the coordinates of each equivalent transmitting array element; (4) calculating the coordinates of imaging focus points; (5) performing synthetic aperture focusing on each imaging focus point; and (6) carrying out data post-processing. The imaging method principle, the overall process design and the like are improved, volume data containing tissue continuous layer information is obtained in a spiral scanning mode, it is proposed for the first time that the synthetic aperture focusing technology is applied to the three-dimensional space, the resolution between layers can be improved, the scanning time is shortened, and the imaging quality of the system can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of ultrasonic tomographic imaging, and more particularly relates to a method and system for ultrasonic tomographic three-dimensional imaging based on helical scanning. Background technique [0002] Ultrasound tomography has the advantages of non-invasiveness, no radiation, high resolution and high sensitivity, and has broad application prospects in the early diagnosis of soft tissue tumors, and has gradually become one of the hot spots in the field of ultrasound applications. [0003] Ultrasound tomography can be divided into two modes: reflection imaging and transmission imaging, wherein transmission imaging includes sound velocity reconstruction and attenuation reconstruction. The reflection map shows the structural information of the target, and the sound velocity map and attenuation map show the functional information of the target. The ultrasonic tomography system uses step-by-step scanning to obtain information...
