摘要:
There are disclosed embodiments for an ultrasound system for performing vessel labeling. The ultrasound system comprises: an ultrasound data acquisition unit configured to transmit an ultrasound signal to a target object including vessels, receive an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the target object and form ultrasound data corresponding to the target object; a volume data forming unit configured to form volume data based on the ultrasound data; and a processor configured to form a 3-dimensional ultrasound image based on the volume data, perform vessel segmentation on the 3-dimensional ultrasound image to provide at least one segmented image including at least one segmented vessel, detect at least one vessel junction from the at least one segmented vessel and perform vessel labeling on the at least one segmented image based on the detected at least one vessel junction.

Embodiments for registering a CT image onto ultrasound images are disclosed. At a preoperative stage, a plurality of first ultrasound images are formed during a respiratory cycle and a CT image is obtained at the maximum inspiration. The CT image is registered onto each of the ultrasound images to thereby form ultrasound-CT registered images. The ultrasound-CT registered images may be stored in the storage unit. Subsequently, at an intraoperative stage, a plurality of second ultrasound images may be sequentially formed in real time. Similarities may be measured between the first ultrasound images and the second ultrasound images, and the ultrasound-CT registered images, each corresponding to each of the first ultrasound images having highest similarity to the second ultrasound image may be retrieved. The retrieved ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image may be displayed at the same time.

There is disclosed a system and method for providing a 2-dimensional CT image corresponding to a 2-dimensional ultrasound image by performing an image registration between a 3-dimensional ultrasound image and a 3-dimensional CT image. The system comprises: a CT image forming unit configured to form a plurality of 3-dimensional CT images for an object of interest inside a target object; an ultrasound image forming unit configured to form at least one 3-dimensional ultrasound image for the object of interest; a processor configured to perform image registration between the 3-dimensional CT images and the at least one 3-dimensional ultrasound image to obtain a first transform function; and a user input unit configured to receive input information from a user, wherein the ultrasound image forming unit is further configured to form a 2-dimensional ultrasound image from the at least one 3-dimensional ultrasound image based on the input information, and wherein the processor is further configured to obtain a plurality of 2-dimensional CT images from the 3-dimensional CT images based on the input information and the first transform function and to detect similarities between the 2-dimensional ultrasound image and the 2-dimensional CT images to select one of the 2-dimensional CT images corresponding to the 2-dimensional ultrasound image.

Embodiments for providing a 2-diemsional (D) computerized-tomography (CT) image corresponding to a 2-D ultrasound image through image registration between 3-D ultrasound and CT images are disclosed. An imaging system 100 comprises a CT imaging unit 110, an ultrasound image forming unit 120, a storing unit 130, a processor 140 and a display unit 150. The processor 140 extracts the 2-D CT image from the 3-D ultrasound-CT registered image by performing a rigid-body transform upon the 3-D ultrasound image and calculating similarities between reference images and the 2-D ultrasound images, wherein the reference images arc obtained through the rigid-body transform.
摘要:
A separable biopsy device integrated-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is disclosed. The separable biopsy device integrated-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus (100) exposing one side of a diagnosis target (10) and examining the diagnosis target (10) at the other side of the diagnosis target (10); and a biopsy device (200) located at the exposed side of the diagnosis target (10) and detachably coupled to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus (100). The apparatus can perform ultrasound diagnosis and biopsy together, thereby providing the convenience of allowing the ultrasound diagnosis and the biopsy to be performed with a single apparatus, and can perform a biopsy based on ultrasound images obtained using the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus (100) without changing a position of a diagnosis target (10), enabling precise determination as to a position to be biopsied, that is, a target position into which the needle of the biopsy device (200) will be inserted.
摘要:
Embodiments for adaptively forming color Doppler images in an ultrasound diagnostic system are disclosed. A method of forming a color Doppler image in an ultrasound diagnostic system comprises: scanning a first set of scan lines set at a full scan region to detect at least one scan line that passes a moving object in the full scan region among the first set of scan lines; setting a second set of scan lines based on the detected scan lines; and scanning the second set of scan lines to form a first color Doppler image.
摘要:
Provided are a three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound system and a method for operating the 3D ultrasound system, which are capable of intuitively displaying the abnormality of an object, by determining a grade, by comparing measurement data obtained by measuring ultrasound data relating to the object and displaying the measurement data in a different way based on the determined grade. In the current application, the object is a fetus and the measurement data is the NT.
