In the step S1, the blood pressure sensor measures the blood pressure value of the position of the rotating device, and transmits the measured blood pressure value information to the ultrasound host.
It should be noted that, in the actual use process of the diagnostic system, the blood flow is not uniform, but is pulsating, and has periodic flow rate variation; the existence of periodic variation of blood flow can cause uneven rotation speed of the longitudinal liquid flow rotor 7, if the echo imaging software algorithm in the ultrasonic host cannot synchronize the variation, the operation is still carried out at a constant speed, image distortion can be caused, and the phenomenon called NURD in the IVUS field is one of important indexes for measuring the IVUS performance.
In order to solve the phenomenon, the invention needs to add a blood pressure sensor to continuously monitor the blood pressure value when in actual implementation, simultaneously synchronously transmit the change periodic curve of the blood pressure to the CPU of the ultrasonic host computer, introduce the value by an echo imaging algorithm, and correct the imaging of the algorithm. The corrected image is compared with the original correct image in actual height.
Step S2: and rotating the rotating device according to the blood pressure value.
In the above step S2, according to the relationship between the pressure and the flow rate in the fluid, the relationship between the rotational speed and the flow rate of the rotating device can be calculated from the blood pressure value to obtain the rotational speed of the rotating device at any time point.
Step S3: and carrying out ultrasonic imaging according to the corresponding relation between the rotating speed and the ultrasonic echo signal and time.
According to the rotation speed of the rotation device, a corresponding relation image of the rotation speed of the rotation device and time can be obtained, on the basis of the corresponding relation image of the rotation speed and time, the ultrasonic echo signals are corresponding to correct time points, the circumferential positions of blood vessels corresponding to each time point are obtained according to the time and the rotation speed, and then the image of the ultrasonic echo signals corresponding to the circumferential positions of the blood vessels is obtained.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the step S2 may include:
step S21: inquiring a data table to obtain the rotating speed corresponding to the blood pressure value; the data table is obtained through experimental measurement or through modeling simulation.
Under the condition that structural parameters of each part of the diagnostic system applied to intravascular ultrasound are determined, the rotating speed of the corresponding rotating device can be calculated according to the blood pressure value of the position of the rotating device, and the rotating speed of the corresponding rotating device is calculated according to a related formula of fluid mechanics, so that a data table of the rotating speed of the rotating device corresponding to different blood pressure values can be obtained through experiments or modeling simulation in advance.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the step S3 may include:
step S31: and arranging the intervals of the scanning lines according to the corresponding relation between the rotating speed and time.
In the step S31, the interval is proportional to the product of the time interval between adjacent ultrasonic echo signals and the corresponding rotation speed, where the corresponding rotation speed is the rotation speed corresponding to the time corresponding to any one of the scanning lines on both sides of the interval, or is the average value or interpolation of the two rotation speeds of the two times corresponding to the scanning lines on both sides of the interval.
Step S32: and displaying the ultrasonic echo signals as images on corresponding scanning lines according to the corresponding relation between the ultrasonic echo signals and time.
The step S3 further includes:
When the interval of the scanning lines is larger than a first preset value, the emission frequency of ultrasonic excitation pulses is increased; or inserting a transition scanning line in the interval of which the interval of the scanning lines is larger than the first preset value, wherein the image displayed by the transition scanning line adopts the average value or interpolation of the images displayed by the adjacent scanning lines.
The first preset value is a predetermined maximum interval value meeting the requirement, the specific value of the first preset value needs to be determined according to the actual requirement, and when the interval between adjacent scanning lines is larger than the first preset value, the density of the scanning lines can be improved by improving the emission frequency of ultrasonic excitation pulses; or inserting an excessive scanning line between two scanning lines with the distance larger than a first preset value, wherein the excessive scanning line is a method used in the data processing process, and the image displayed by the excessive scanning line adopts the average value or interpolation of the images displayed by the adjacent scanning lines.
And discarding the scanning lines on one side or two sides of the interval when the interval of the scanning lines is smaller than a second preset value.
The second preset value is a minimum interval value which is determined in advance and meets the requirement, the specific value of the second preset value needs to be determined according to the actual requirement, and the scan line on one side of the interval or the scan lines on two sides of the interval can be selected according to the requirement in the data processing process, and the specific value is determined according to the actual condition.
When IVUS echo imaging is carried out, the measured data of the blood pressure change along with time can be introduced, so that the rotating speed of the rotating device at any time point can be known, the echo signal at each time point is further corresponding to the correct time point, each scanning line is corresponding to the correct position on the image display, and the position refers to the circumferential position on the axial tangent plane of the circular blood vessel.
It should be noted that, after each scan line is corresponding to its correct position, the axial section image of the blood vessel displayed may have the following solutions for the problem because the scan lines are sparse in some places and dense in some places, and are not uniform in nature:
Only the sparsest place of the scanning line is required to be ensured to meet the basic granularity requirement.
Or selecting a higher emission frequency at a sparse place to compensate for the sparseness, so as to obtain an image with uniformly distributed scanning lines, namely selecting a non-uniform emission frequency when ultrasonic scanning is performed; it is explained here that the mentioned emission frequency is constant, and that the density refers to the length of the interval.
The method can also insert some transitional scanning lines at a sparse place, and the brightness of gray points on the transitional scanning lines calculates a transitional intermediate value according to a common mathematical algorithm, so that an image with uniform scanning line distribution is obtained.
In a denser place, namely a place with low rotor rotation speed, some scanning lines are extracted and discarded to reduce calculation load, but the whole is ensured to meet basic granularity requirements, so that an image with uniformly distributed scanning lines is obtained.
Because various sphygmomanometers in the market are very common and various, the finished sphygmomanometer capable of synchronously outputting blood pressure signals to an ultrasonic host interface only at all times has USB protocol, I2C protocol, SMbus protocol and Internet protocol, and the parts are not the content of the invention, so that the description is omitted.
