Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a panoramic stitching method, an apparatus, and a storage medium. A transformation matrix obtaining method includes: obtaining motion data detected by sensors, wherein the sensors are disposed on a probe used to collect images, and the motion data is used to represent a moving trend of the probe during image collection; inputting the motion data into a pre-trained neural network, to calculate matrix parameters by using the neural network; calculating a transformation matrix by using the matrix parameters, wherein the transformation matrix is used to stitch images collected by the probe, to obtain a panoramic image. In the present disclosure, the transformation matrix can be calculated and the images can be stitched without using characteristics of the images, and factors such as brightness and the characteristics of the images do not impose an impact, thereby improving transformation matrix calculation accuracy, and improving an image stitching effect.

Abstract: The present invention provides an ultrasonic guidance auxiliary device for a needle, including: a probe, used for emitting and receiving an ultrasonic signal for a tissue to be punctured-for-injection; a first mechanical arm, used for moving the probe to the tissue to be punctured-for-injection; a second mechanical arm, used for fixing a puncture needle, moving the needle to be close to the tissue to be punctured-for-injection, and then causing the needle to puncture the tissue to be punctured-for-injection; and a main unit, used for moving, according to controlling of the first mechanical arm, the probe to the tissue to be punctured-for-injection, wherein the probe emits and receives the ultrasonic signal. The main unit synthesizes an ultrasonic image through the ultrasonic signal transmitted by the probe, and the main unit at least calculates a puncture distance and a puncture angle between the needle and the tissue to be punctured-for-injection through the ultrasonic image.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system includes: a harmonic filter coupled to an ultrasound transmitter to reduce transmitted harmonic components; a fundamental filter coupled with an ultrasound receiver to reduce received fundamental components; and a fusion processor configured to generate multiple frames of fusion images for two subsequent frames of ultrasound transmissions to improve frame rate. The ultrasound receiver may optionally perform signal alignment and matching to improve image quality. To improve image quality, the ultrasound system may optionally use multiple amplitude-modulated transmit pulses with different delays, or multiple transmit pulses with different amplitudes to extract harmonic signals.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging apparatus configured with a touch screen display and computer aided measurement and/or diagnosis capability. In response to a touch input, image parameters for the computer aided measurement and/or diagnosis are determined from an analysis of the ultrasound image. A touch screen user interface allows the user to further adjust the parameters and/or other system parameters for the computer aided measurement and/or diagnosis in an interactive way. The computer aided measurement can be used directly for the computer aided diagnosis for improved accuracy and user experience.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method for providing real-time guidance to an interventional device coupled to an ultrasound imaging system operating in a first mode and a second mode. The method includes, in the first mode, stopping transmission of ultrasound signals from a transducer of the ultrasound imaging apparatus, and transmitting, via an acoustic sensor mounted on a head portion of an interventional device, an ultrasound signal that is then received by the transducer to generate a first image of a location of the head portion; in a second mode, stopping transmitting ultrasound signals from the acoustic sensor, transmitting ultrasound signals via the transducer, and receiving echoes of the transmitted ultrasound signals to generate a second image of an object structure; and combining the first image with the second image to derive a third image displaying and highlighting a relative location of the head portion in the object structure.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging apparatus configured with a touch screen display that includes an image area displaying at least a portion of an ultrasound image. The image area of the touch screen is configured to receive touch input. In response to the touch input, the ultrasound image can be adjusted, manipulated, edited, processed and/or measured. For example, certain properties of the ultrasound image can be quantified or determined, and used to intelligently identify a context-sensitive function to be invoked as a response to the touch input in the image area Thus, the control buttons in the control area can be simplified; and the user interface is more user friendly than a conventional user interface for ultrasound imaging.
