    摘要: A method for quantifying viscoelasticity of a medium includes: obtaining a position-time graph of vibration propagation after the medium is subjected to a vibration excitation, determining an angle with maximum signal energy in the position-time graph by using angle projection, where the angle with the maximum signal energy corresponds to a slope of the position-time graph and the slope of the position-time graph is the propagation velocity of the vibration in the medium. Since the propagation velocity of the vibration in the medium is related to the viscoelasticity of the medium, a viscoelasticity parameter of the medium can be quantitatively calculated after the slope of the position-time graph is obtained. The method does not need to select a feature point from the position-time graph to calculate the slope of the position-time graph, and can efficiently and accurately quantifies viscoelasticity of the medium.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method, an apparatus and a device for locating a region of interest of a tissue, and a storage medium. The method comprising: acquiring ultrasonic echo signals from a detected region; identifying interfering regions and a region of interest in the detected region according to ultrasonic parameter values of the ultrasonic echo signals; judging whether the sizes of the interfering regions meet a preset condition or not; and if the sizes of the interfering regions meet the preset condition, removing interfering signals corresponding to the interfering regions from the ultrasonic echo signals. As such, the interfering signals may be removed while the interfering regions are small. Consequently, the region of interest can be adaptively located, and signals with interfering signals removed can be used for signal processing and information extraction related to the region of interest, thereby increasing the accuracy and robustness of signal analysis related to the region of interest and improving the accuracy of a result of detection.
