Medical personnel do not generally need to set up ultrasonic imaging equipment when using the probe to scan the in-process, hide the control interface when enlarging the demonstration ultrasound image and can avoid unimportant information to disturb the demonstration of ultrasound image.
According to the method and the device, when the condition that the time that the ultrasonic imaging equipment does not input the control signal or the specific control signal is not input exceeds the preset threshold value is detected, the mode of amplifying and displaying the ultrasonic image is automatically started, so that when medical workers use the probe to scan a scanning object, the ultrasonic imaging equipment does not need to be additionally input with instructions, the ultrasonic image displayed in a large size can be seen, and the technical problems that the medical workers possibly get away from the ultrasonic imaging equipment when scanning different body parts of a testee, the ultrasonic imaging equipment is inconvenient to operate, and the ultrasonic image displayed in the large size is expected to be seen are solved.

Step 706, determining the image display mode as the second display mode. This step may be performed by the processor 105. The sequence of the steps is not limited in the embodiments enumerated in the present application, and the steps in the embodiments may be combined and executed in a reasonable order to form a new embodiment, for example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 8, step 808-; and then determining whether a first mode control signal is received, when the first mode control signal is received, determining that the image display mode is the first display mode, namely, switching to display the ultrasonic image in the first display area on the display 106, for example, when a medical worker completes an ultrasonic scanning, the medical worker needs to return to the ultrasonic imaging device for the next setting, when the medical worker inputs an instruction to the ultrasonic imaging device through the input device, the display exits from the full-screen display mode, and returns to the conventional display mode, and the conventional display mode can simultaneously display a control interface, so that the medical worker can conveniently set the ultrasonic imaging device. In other embodiments, the step 503-505 may be performed before the step 703-707, that is, the ultrasound image is displayed in the first display mode and then the ultrasound image is displayed in the second display mode according to the corresponding signal received by the processor. Similarly, the step 503 and 505 can also be performed before or after the step 603 and 605, and some or all of the steps in other embodiments can be performed in a feasible sequence, and the corresponding ultrasound device can also adjust the sequence of invoking the relevant components according to the change of the step sequence. The execution sequence of the steps can be determined according to different control signals received by the processor 105, that is, according to the input instruction of the doctor when using the ultrasound imaging apparatus, so as to meet different requirements of the doctor for viewing the ultrasound image under different conditions.
In one embodiment, the display area of the display may further include a third display area, where the third display area displays a control interface, as shown in fig. 10, and a third display area 1002 on which a control interface is displayed, including control instruction icons 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, and 1009; as shown in fig. 12, a control interface including control instruction icons 1201, 1202, 1203, and 1204 is displayed on the third display area 1002; the third display area displays a control interface for medical personnel to input instructions to the ultrasonic imaging device. According to different stages of the ultrasound scanning, medical staff have different requirements for using the control interface, as shown in fig. 10, the third display area 1002 may not overlap with the first display area 1001; as shown in fig. 12, the third display region 1002 may entirely overlap or partially overlap with the second display region 1101. In a specific use scenario, for example, as shown in fig. 10, when an ultrasound scanning is about to start next ultrasound scanning after one ultrasound scanning is finished, a medical worker needs to set an imaging mode of an ultrasound imaging device or process an ultrasound image, the medical worker operates the ultrasound device in a close distance, the ultrasound image does not need to be displayed in an enlarged manner, and a control interface is highlighted to facilitate the medical worker to input an instruction. As shown in fig. 12, when a medical worker uses a probe to perform an ultrasound scanning, it is sometimes necessary to coordinate with an input instruction, and at this time, the medical worker focuses on an ultrasound image, so that a control interface is displayed on the ultrasound image while the ultrasound image is displayed in a larger size. The relative position of the third display area and the first display area or the second display area can adopt different setting modes according to the requirements of the ultrasonic imaging equipment in different stages.
