Ultrasonic imaging system and interface module

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultrasonic imaging system and an interface module, wherein the system comprises a host and the interface module; the interface module comprises an analog-to-digital converter, and the interface module is electrically connected with an ultrasonic catheter; the ultrasonic catheter is used for acquiring an analog ultrasonic signal and sending the analog ultrasonic signal to the interface module, and the interface module inputs the analog ultrasonic signal into the analog-to-digital converter to obtain a digital ultrasonic signal; and the interface module communicates with a host and sends the digital ultrasonic signal to the host. By arranging the analog-to-digital converter in the interface module, digital signals can be transmitted remotely, so that the interface module and the host can be far away from each other, even if the interface module and the host are physically far away from each other, the host is prevented from being placed in an operating room, and then an equipment operator is prevented from being affected by radiation in the operating room.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of imaging technology, in particular to an ultrasonic imaging system and an interface module. Background technique [0002] At present, an intravascular ultrasound imaging system usually consists of an ultrasound host and an ultrasound catheter, which are used in conjunction with each other. However, the analog signals collected by ultrasound imaging have a large attenuation and are prone to interference in the traditional transmission mode, making long-distance transmission impossible. Therefore, the current ultrasonic host is usually placed in the operating room, and the space of the operating room is relatively small, and the equipment operator will be affected by the radiation in the operating room, which is harmful to the health of the operator. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide an ultrasonic imaging system and interface module, which can...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the intravascular ultrasound imaging system usually consists of an ultrasound host and an ultrasound catheter, and the two are used together. However, in the traditional transmission mode, the analog signal collected by ultrasound imaging has a large attenuation and is easy to introduce interference, so it cannot be transmitted over a long distance.

Therefore, the current ultrasonic host is usually placed in the operating room, and the operating room space is relatively small, and the equipment operator will be affected by the radiation in the operating room, which is harmful to the health of the operator
