技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及超声成像技术领域，特别涉及一种卵泡计数方法、装置、超声医疗设备及可读存储介质。The present invention relates to the field of ultrasound imaging technology, and in particular to a follicle counting method, device, ultrasound medical equipment and readable storage medium.
背景技术Background technique
目前，医学超声成像技术以其成像速度快、操作方便和无痛无辐射等优点，广泛应用于生殖医学及妇科领域。在女性生殖医学卵巢功能的评估中，优质卵泡的计数是一项常规检查项目。At present, medical ultrasound imaging technology is widely used in the fields of reproductive medicine and gynecology due to its advantages of fast imaging speed, easy operation, painlessness and no radiation. In the evaluation of ovarian function in female reproductive medicine, counting of high-quality follicles is a routine examination item.
现有技术中，在二维卵巢功能检查中，医生通常会在扫查过程中或在存储视频中，先挑选出优质卵泡较多的卵巢图像，然后再进行人工计数。然而，这种常规流程所面临的问题有：在扫查过程中，需要医生注意力高度集中，极易造成操作医生的疲劳；人工计数极其耗费心力，最佳帧选择困难，难以确保准确性和可重复性，且及其考验操作者的耐心；人工计数方法只能挑取某一帧进行记数，难以对多张(即视频序列)进行综合评估，难以保证视频中卵泡计数的准确性。In the existing technology, during two-dimensional ovarian function examination, doctors usually select ovarian images with more high-quality follicles during the scanning process or in the stored video, and then manually count them. However, the problems faced by this conventional process are: during the scanning process, the doctor needs to be highly concentrated, which can easily cause fatigue to the operating doctor; manual counting is extremely labor-intensive, and it is difficult to select the best frame, making it difficult to ensure accuracy and accuracy. Repeatability, and extremely tests the operator's patience; the manual counting method can only select a certain frame for counting, and it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate multiple frames (i.e., video sequences), and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of follicle counting in the video.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本发明实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments These are some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
请参考图1，图1为本发明实施例所提供的一种卵泡计数方法的流程图。该方法可以包括：Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flow chart of a follicle counting method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can include:
步骤101：根据预设触发信号启动计数功能。Step 101: Start the counting function according to the preset trigger signal.
其中，本步骤中的计数功能可以为对待计数超声图像(如卵巢超声图像)中的卵泡进行自动计数的功能。对于本步骤中的计数功能的具体设置，可以由设计人员根据实用场景和用户需求自行设置，如计数功能可以为超声设备对计数周期内实时采集成像的超声图像(即实时超声图像)中的全部图像帧或部分图像帧进行卵泡计数的功能；计数功能也可以为对接收或存储的超声视频中的全部图像帧或部分图像进行卵泡计数的功能。本实施例对此不做任何限制。The counting function in this step may be a function of automatically counting follicles in the ultrasound image to be counted (such as an ovarian ultrasound image). The specific settings of the counting function in this step can be set by the designer according to practical scenarios and user needs. For example, the counting function can be all ultrasound images collected and imaged in real time by the ultrasound equipment during the counting cycle (i.e., real-time ultrasound images). The function of counting follicles based on image frames or part of the image frames; the counting function may also be the function of counting follicles on all image frames or part of the images in the received or stored ultrasound video. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
具体的，本步骤中的预设触发信号可以为控制计数功能启动的信号。对于本步骤中的预设触发信号的具体触发方式，可以由设计人员根据实用场景和用户需求自行设置，如预设触发信号可以为超声设备的探头上的开关(如拨片开关)、键盘上的按键和/或触摸屏上的虚拟按键触发的信号，以控制启动计数功能；也就是说，本步骤中超声设备可以根据超声设备的探头上的开关、键盘上的按键或触摸屏上的虚拟按键触发的预设触发信号，启动计数功能。 Specifically, the preset trigger signal in this step can be a signal that controls the start of the counting function. The specific triggering method of the preset trigger signal in this step can be set by the designer according to practical scenarios and user needs. For example, the preset trigger signal can be a switch on the probe of the ultrasonic equipment (such as a paddle switch), a switch on the keyboard, etc. keys and/or virtual keys on the touch screen to trigger the counting function; that is to say, in this step, the ultrasonic equipment can be triggered according to the switch on the probe of the ultrasonic equipment, the keys on the keyboard, or the virtual keys on the touch screen. The preset trigger signal starts the counting function.
对应的，为了避免计数功能的误启动情况，本步骤中超声设备可以在B超模式下，根据超声设备的探头上的开关、键盘上的按键或触摸屏上的虚拟按键触发的预设触发信号，启动计数功能。如超声设备可以在B超模式下，根据超声设备的探头上的开关触发的预设触发信号，启动计数功能；例如，用户可以在超声设备处于B超模式时，按动超声设备的探头上的按钮开关或拨动探头上的拨片开关，触发的预设触发信号控制超声设备启动计数功能。超声设备也可以在B超模式下，根据超声设备的键盘或触摸屏(如控制面板和触摸显示屏等)触发的预设触发信号，启动计数功能；例如，用户可以在超声设备处于B超模式时，通过按动键盘上的计数开启按键或点击触摸屏上的计数开启区域，触发预设触发信号控制超声设备启动计数功能。Correspondingly, in order to avoid the false start of the counting function, in this step, the ultrasonic equipment can be in the B-ultrasound mode, according to the preset trigger signal triggered by the switch on the probe of the ultrasonic equipment, the keys on the keyboard, or the virtual keys on the touch screen. Start counting function. For example, the ultrasonic equipment can start the counting function according to the preset trigger signal triggered by the switch on the probe of the ultrasonic equipment in the B-ultrasound mode; for example, the user can press the button on the probe of the ultrasonic equipment when the ultrasonic equipment is in the B-ultrasound mode. Press the button switch or flip the paddle switch on the probe to trigger the preset trigger signal to control the ultrasonic equipment to start the counting function. The ultrasonic equipment can also start the counting function in B-ultrasound mode according to the preset trigger signal triggered by the keyboard or touch screen of the ultrasonic equipment (such as control panel and touch display screen, etc.); for example, the user can start the counting function when the ultrasonic equipment is in B-ultrasound mode. , by pressing the counting start button on the keyboard or clicking the counting start area on the touch screen, the preset trigger signal is triggered to control the ultrasonic equipment to start the counting function.
步骤102：进入计数状态后，获取待计数超声图像，直至完成计数周期。Step 102: After entering the counting state, obtain the ultrasound image to be counted until the counting cycle is completed.
可以理解的是，本实施例中超声设备在启动计数功能后可以为进入计数状态，以获取计数周期内需要进行卵泡计数的超声图像(即待计数超声图像)，并对其进行卵泡检测计数，生成相应的卵泡计数评估结果。It can be understood that in this embodiment, after starting the counting function, the ultrasound device can enter the counting state to obtain the ultrasound images that need to be counted for follicles during the counting cycle (ie, the ultrasound images to be counted), and perform follicle detection and counting on them. Generate corresponding follicle count assessment results.
对应的，对于本实施例中超声设备启动计数功能后进入计数状态的具体方式，可以由设计人员根据实用场景和用户需求自行设置，如超声设备可以在启动计数功能后直接进入计数状态。为了提升卵泡计数的准确性，减少计算资源的消耗(计数功能启动后记录了一些探头未开始移动时获取的超声图像)，本实施例中超声设备可以进一步识别操作者的意图，以根据操作者的实际需求进入计数状态；如超声设备的处理器可以在计数功能启动后，根据超声设备的探头移动信息，判断探头是否发生移动；若发生移动，则进入计数状态；例如超声设备可以利用超声设备的探头中的运动传感器采集的传感器信息和/或实时采集成像的超声图像的图像相似度，确定探头移动信息，从而判断是否进入计数状态。也就是说，本实施例中可以通过识别探头移动来进入计数状态还可以减少操作者的紧迫感，避免启动计数功能之后必须马上开始移动探头，提高操作的便利性。Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the specific way in which the ultrasonic equipment enters the counting state after starting the counting function can be set by the designer according to practical scenarios and user needs. For example, the ultrasonic equipment can directly enter the counting state after starting the counting function. In order to improve the accuracy of follicle counting and reduce the consumption of computing resources (after the counting function is started, some ultrasound images acquired when the probe does not start to move) are recorded. In this embodiment, the ultrasound equipment can further identify the operator's intention to Enter the counting state according to the actual demand; for example, the processor of the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the probe has moved based on the probe movement information of the ultrasonic equipment after the counting function is started; if movement occurs, it enters the counting state; for example, the ultrasonic equipment can use the ultrasonic equipment The sensor information collected by the motion sensor in the probe and/or the image similarity of the ultrasonic image collected and imaged in real time is used to determine the probe movement information, thereby determining whether to enter the counting state. That is to say, in this embodiment, the counting state can be entered by recognizing the movement of the probe, which can also reduce the operator's sense of urgency, avoid having to start moving the probe immediately after starting the counting function, and improve the convenience of operation.
需要说明的是，对于上述根据超声设备的探头移动信息，判断探头是否发生移动的具体方式，可以由设计人员根据实用场景和用户需求自行设 置，如在一些实施例中，超声设备利用探头中的运动传感器采集的传感器信息，确定探头移动信息时，超声设备可以根据超声设备的探头中的运动传感器采集的传感器信息，判断探头是否发生移动(可设置阈值，当传感器信息表征探头的移动距离或/和速度超过一定阈值时判断探头发生移动，避免误判，且可以提高用户体验)；若发生移动，则进入计数状态；若未发生移动可以继续获取运动传感器采集的传感器信息。例如，超声设备可以根据传感器信息表征的探头的移动距离与距离阈值的比较和/或传感器信息表征的探头的移动速度与速度阈值的比较，判断探头是否发生移动；如超声设备可以在传感器信息对应的探头的移动距离大于距离阈值时，确定探头发生移动并进入计数状态。It should be noted that the above-mentioned specific method of judging whether the probe has moved based on the probe movement information of the ultrasonic equipment can be set by the designer based on practical scenarios and user needs. For example, in some embodiments, when the ultrasonic equipment uses sensor information collected by the motion sensor in the probe to determine the movement information of the probe, the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the probe has moved based on the sensor information collected by the motion sensor in the probe of the ultrasonic equipment. (A threshold can be set. When the sensor information representing the movement distance or/and speed of the probe exceeds a certain threshold, it is judged that the probe has moved to avoid misjudgment and improve user experience); if movement occurs, it enters the counting state; if no movement occurs You can continue to obtain sensor information collected by the motion sensor. For example, the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the probe has moved based on the comparison between the moving distance of the probe represented by the sensor information and the distance threshold and/or the comparison between the moving speed of the probe represented by the sensor information and the speed threshold; for example, the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the probe has moved according to the sensor information. When the moving distance of the probe is greater than the distance threshold, it is determined that the probe has moved and enters the counting state.
在另一些实施例中，超声设备可以根据超声设备采集的当前帧超声图像与启动计数功能时采集的超声图像(即计数功能启动帧超声图像)的图像相似度，判断探头是否发生移动；若发生移动，则进入计数状态；若未发生移动，则可以继续获取超声设备采集的当前帧超声图像；也就是说，探头移动信息可以为超声设备实时采集的当前帧超声图像与启动计数功能时采集的超声图像(即计数功能启动帧超声图像)的图像相似度；例如，超声设备可以判断当前帧超声图像与计数功能启动帧超声图像的图像相似度是否小于相似度阈值；若是，则进入计数状态。In other embodiments, the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the probe has moved based on the image similarity between the current frame of the ultrasonic image collected by the ultrasonic equipment and the ultrasonic image collected when the counting function is started (that is, the counting function starts frame ultrasonic image); if so, If it moves, it will enter the counting state; if no movement occurs, you can continue to obtain the current frame of ultrasound images collected by the ultrasound equipment; that is to say, the probe movement information can be the current frame of ultrasound images collected by the ultrasound equipment in real time and the data collected when the counting function is started. Image similarity of the ultrasound image (that is, the counting function startup frame ultrasound image); for example, the ultrasound device can determine whether the image similarity between the current frame ultrasound image and the counting function startup frame ultrasound image is less than the similarity threshold; if so, it enters the counting state.
具体的，对于本步骤中的待计数超声图像的具体内容，可以由设计人员根据实用场景和用户需求自行设置，如待计数超声图像可以为超声设备接收或存储的超声视频中计数周期内的全部图像帧或从全部图像帧中抽取的部分图像帧的超声图像；待计数超声图像也可以为超声设备在计数周期内实时采集的超声图像中的全部图像帧或部分图像帧(如间隔抽取的图像帧)的超声图像。本实施例对此不做任何限制。Specifically, the specific content of the ultrasonic images to be counted in this step can be set by the designer according to practical scenarios and user needs. For example, the ultrasonic images to be counted can be all the ultrasonic videos received or stored by the ultrasound equipment within the counting period. Ultrasound images of image frames or partial image frames extracted from all image frames; the ultrasonic images to be counted can also be all image frames or partial image frames (such as images extracted at intervals) in the ultrasonic images collected in real time by the ultrasonic equipment during the counting period frame) ultrasound image. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
对应的，对于本实施例中计数周期的具体周期时间设置，可以由设计人员根据根据实用场景和用户需求自行设置，如计数周期可以由进入计数状态后的运行时间和/或探头的扫查距离确定；例如计数周期由超声设备进入计数状态后的运行时间确定时，超声设备可以在进入计数状态后的运行时间达到时间阈值时，确定计数周期完成。为了避免以时间作为计数周期 度量方式时，给超声设备的操作者带来的时间紧迫感，本实施例中可以以扫查距离度量作为计数周期度量方式，从而使超声设备的操作流程更人性化，即计数周期可以由探头的扫查距离确定。也就是说，超声设备可以根据进入计数状态后探头的扫查距离，判断计数周期是否完成；例如超声设备可以利用探头中的运动传感器或基于实时超声图像的距离检测，判断进入计数状态后探头的扫查距离是否达到距离阈值，从而在达到距离阈值时，确定计数周期完成。计数周期可以由进入计数状态后的运行时间和探头的扫查距离同时确定时，超声设备可以在计数状态后探头的扫查距离达到阈值且进入计数状态后的运行时间达到时间阈值时，确定计数周期完成。Correspondingly, the specific cycle time setting of the counting period in this embodiment can be set by the designer according to the practical scenario and user needs. For example, the counting period can be determined by the running time after entering the counting state and/or the scanning distance of the probe. Determine; for example, when the counting period is determined by the running time after the ultrasonic equipment enters the counting state, the ultrasonic equipment can determine that the counting period is completed when the running time after entering the counting state reaches the time threshold. In order to avoid using time as a counting period The measurement method brings a sense of time urgency to the operator of the ultrasonic equipment. In this embodiment, the scanning distance measurement can be used as the counting period measurement method, thereby making the operating process of the ultrasonic equipment more humane, that is, the counting period can be determined by the probe. The scanning distance is determined. In other words, the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the counting cycle is completed based on the scanning distance of the probe after entering the counting state; for example, the ultrasonic equipment can use the motion sensor in the probe or distance detection based on real-time ultrasound images to determine the scanning distance of the probe after entering the counting state. The scan distance is checked to see if it reaches the distance threshold, so that when the distance threshold is reached, the count cycle is determined to be complete. When the counting period can be determined by the running time after entering the counting state and the scanning distance of the probe at the same time, the ultrasonic equipment can determine the count when the scanning distance of the probe reaches the threshold after entering the counting state and the running time after entering the counting state reaches the time threshold. Cycle complete.
对应的，计数周期还可以由触发的计数周期结束指令确定，如超声设备可以通过判断是否触发计数周期结束指令，确定计数周期是否完成；例如，用户可以在进入计数状态后，按动超声设备的探头上的按钮开关或拨动探头上的拨片开关，触发的计数周期结束指令控制超声设备结束计数周期；用户也可以在进入计数状态后，通过按动键盘上的计数周期结束按键或点击显示触摸屏上显示的计数周期结束区域，触发的计数周期结束指令控制超声设备结束计数周期。Correspondingly, the counting period can also be determined by the triggered counting period end instruction. For example, the ultrasonic equipment can determine whether the counting period is completed by judging whether the counting period end instruction is triggered; for example, the user can press the ultrasonic equipment after entering the counting state. The button switch on the probe or the paddle switch on the probe triggers the counting cycle end command to control the ultrasonic equipment to end the counting cycle; the user can also press the counting cycle end button on the keyboard or click the display after entering the counting state. The counting cycle end area displayed on the touch screen, and the triggered counting cycle end command controls the ultrasonic equipment to end the counting cycle.
步骤103：对每帧待计数超声图像进行卵泡检测，识别每帧待计数超声图像中的卵泡数量。Step 103: Perform follicle detection on each frame of ultrasound image to be counted, and identify the number of follicles in each frame of ultrasound image to be counted.
可以理解的是，本步骤中超声设备的处理器可以对每帧待计数超声图像进行卵泡检测，可以识别出每帧待计数超声图像中卵泡，从而计数得到每帧待计数超声图像中的卵泡数量。It can be understood that in this step, the processor of the ultrasound equipment can perform follicle detection on each frame of the ultrasound image to be counted, and can identify the follicles in each frame of the ultrasound image to be counted, thereby counting the number of follicles in each frame of the ultrasound image to be counted. .
具体的，对于本步骤中处理器对每帧待计数超声图像进行卵泡检测的具体方式，可以由设计人员根据实用场景和用户需求自行设置，如处理器可以采用与现有技术中的目标检测和分割方法相同或相似的方式实现，只要处理器可以识别出每帧待计数超声图像的卵泡，本实施例对此不做任何限制。Specifically, in this step, the specific way in which the processor performs follicle detection on each frame of ultrasound image to be counted can be set by the designer according to practical scenarios and user needs. For example, the processor can adopt the same method as target detection and detection in the existing technology. The segmentation method is implemented in the same or similar manner. As long as the processor can identify the follicles to be counted in each frame of the ultrasound image, this embodiment does not place any restrictions on this.
需要说明的是，本步骤中超声设备对每帧待计数超声图像进行卵泡检测还可以包括识别每帧待计数超声图像中的各卵泡位置并将卵泡位置标示信息输出至超声设备的显示器，以方便用户查看显示器中显示的待计数超 声图像中的卵泡的具***置。It should be noted that in this step, the ultrasound equipment's follicle detection for each frame of ultrasound image to be counted may also include identifying the location of each follicle in each frame of ultrasound image to be counted and outputting the follicle location marking information to the display of the ultrasound equipment for convenience. The user views the number of times to be counted displayed on the display. The specific location of the follicle in the ultrasound image.
对应的，对于上述识别每帧待计数超声图像中的各卵泡位置的具体方式，可以由设计人员自行设置，如处理器可以采用与现有技术中的目标检测和分割方法相同或相似的方式实现，处理器可以采用与现有技术中的目标检测和分割方法相同或相似的方式实现，只要处理器可以识别出每帧待计数超声图像的各卵泡位置，本实施例对此不做任何限制。Correspondingly, the above-mentioned specific method of identifying the position of each follicle in each frame of ultrasound image to be counted can be set by the designer. For example, the processor can be implemented in the same or similar manner as the target detection and segmentation methods in the prior art. , the processor can be implemented in the same or similar manner as the target detection and segmentation methods in the prior art. As long as the processor can identify the position of each follicle in each frame of ultrasound image to be counted, this embodiment does not place any restrictions on this.
具体的，上述用于标识相应待计数超声图像中的各卵泡位置的卵泡位置标示信息可以包括卵泡中心点，即本实施例中处理器可以在各卵泡的中心点位置进行标记，以在指示用户卵泡区域位置的基础上减少标识的遮挡；例如超声设备可以控制显示器在各卵泡的中心点以十字标示进行标记显示。卵泡位置标示信息也可以包括卵泡区域，即处理器可以在各卵泡的卵泡区域进行标记；如图2所示，超声设备可以控制显示器以轮廓线和十字标示对各卵泡的卵泡区域进行标记显示。卵泡位置标示信息还可以包括标示框、轮廓线和/或十字标示等标识类型，以指示显示器以相应标识类型的标识对待计数超声图像中的各卵泡进行显示。卵泡位置标示信息还可以包括标示颜色和/或序号标识，以方便用户区分不同的卵泡区域；例如超声设备可以控制显示器以不同颜色的标识(如标示框、轮廓线和/或十字标示等)对各卵泡的卵泡区域进行标记显示。Specifically, the above-mentioned follicle position marking information used to identify the position of each follicle in the corresponding ultrasound image to be counted may include the follicle center point. That is, in this embodiment, the processor may mark the center point of each follicle to instruct the user. Reduce the occlusion of the mark based on the location of the follicle area; for example, the ultrasound equipment can control the display to display a cross mark at the center point of each follicle. The follicle location marking information may also include the follicle area, that is, the processor can mark the follicle area of each follicle; as shown in Figure 2, the ultrasound equipment can control the display to mark and display the follicle area of each follicle with outlines and cross marks. The follicle location marking information may also include marking types such as marking boxes, outlines, and/or cross markings to instruct the display to display each follicle in the ultrasound image to be counted with the marking of the corresponding marking type.
