Description

Ultrasonic system, viscoelasticity measurement results, and display method of ultrasonic measurement results

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic imaging, and more particularly to an ultrasonic system, a viscoelasticity measurement result and a method for displaying the ultrasonic measurement result.

Background technique

Ultrasound elastography is one of the hotspots in clinical research in recent years. It mainly reflects the elasticity or hardness of tissues, and has been increasingly used in the auxiliary detection of tissue cancer lesions, the discrimination of benign and malignant, and the evaluation of prognosis and recovery. Ultrasound elastography mainly reflects the softness and hardness of the tissue by imaging the elasticity-related parameters in the region of interest. There are many different elastography methods, such as quasi-static elastography or strain elastography based on the strain caused by the pressure of the probe on the tissue, shear wave elastography or elastography based on the shear wave generated by the acoustic radiation force, based on external Transient elastography of vibration-generated shear waves, etc.

With the continuous development of technology and the gradual deepening of research, more and more clinical studies have shown that although tissue elasticity is mainly related to fibrosis and calcification, it is also affected by tissue inflammation and steatosis. Human soft tissue is a complex viscoelastic body, and elasticity and viscosity are two different physical properties. Tissue viscosity is associated with inflammation, necrosis, mucus secretion, fluid accumulation, and is also affected by fibrosis and steatosis. Therefore, the single extraction of tissue elastic physical quantity cannot satisfy the comprehensive evaluation of the pathological progress of human tissue, and the continuous development of ultrasonic viscoelasticity technology can often provide both tissue elastic and viscous results.

However, conventional viscoelasticity techniques often simply display the elastic and viscous results as numerical values or images, while the corresponding relationship between the elastic and viscous results and histopathology is often studied separately in clinical practice. For example, different elasticity values respectively indicate the possibility of breast cancer, and different viscosity values also indicate the possibility of breast cancer. Therefore, when the two measurement results appear at the same time, clinicians need to make comprehensive judgments based on experience. This judgment method is greatly affected by the doctor's experience. General doctors, especially inexperienced doctors, often make incorrect judgments during use, or reduce the confidence of doctors in judgment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive display method of viscoelasticity results, which can guide doctors to make comprehensive judgments more intuitively.

The present invention is not limited to this. The ultrasonic system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention can be used to realize the display method of the viscoelasticity measurement result proposed by the embodiment of the present invention. The following describes the display method of the viscoelasticity measurement result proposed by the embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. A schematic flowchart of a method 200 for displaying viscoelasticity measurement results of an embodiment. Specifically, the display method 200 of the viscoelasticity measurement result according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

In step S210, a viscoelasticity correspondence diagram associated with the target disease measurement index is generated, and the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram includes an elastic coordinate axis corresponding to the elastic measurement result, a viscosity coordinate axis corresponding to the viscosity measurement result, a dividing line, and at least a A set of point sets, wherein the point set and the dividing line are displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate domain defined by the elastic coordinate axis and the viscous coordinate axis, and each set of the point sets includes a plurality of viscous and elastic corresponding A set of data points corresponding to the clinical measurement results in the two-dimensional coordinate domain, and a set of the point sets is used to represent a classification result of the target condition; the dividing line is used to convert the two-dimensional coordinate domain be divided into regions corresponding to different classification results of the target disease;

In step S220, generating shear waves propagating in the target tissue of the target object;

In step S230, transmitting a first ultrasonic wave tracking the shear wave to the target tissue, and receiving ultrasonic echoes returned by the target tissue to obtain a first echo signal of the first ultrasonic wave;

In step S240, obtain elastic parameters and viscosity parameters of the target tissue according to the first echo signal;

In step S250, an elasticity measurement result is obtained according to the elasticity parameter in the area to be measured, and a viscosity measurement result is obtained according to the viscosity parameter in the area to be measured;

In step S260, according to the corresponding position of the elasticity measurement result on the elasticity coordinate axis and the corresponding position of the viscosity measurement result on the viscosity coordinate axis, generate a representative of the elasticity in the two-dimensional coordinate domain a measurement result and a measurement result identification of the viscosity measurement result;

In step S270, the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram is displayed and the measurement result identifier is displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate field of the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram, wherein the relative position of the measurement result identifier and the boundary line is determined by For representing the classification result of the target condition corresponding to the target object, the relative position of the measurement result identification and the point set is used to represent the closeness of the classification result of the target condition corresponding to the target object.

According to different target diseases, or according to different requirements for refinement of clinical judgment, the classification results of target diseases can be one, two or more. Wherein, a classification result of the target disease may be a disease type under the target disease, and displaying the boundary lines and point sets corresponding to different disease types can help the user to determine the disease type corresponding to the target object. For example, when the target disease is a breast disease, the classification result of the target disease may include benign tumors and malignant tumors, and may also include specific diseases such as invasive ductal carcinoma, fibroadenoma, and adenopathy.

The different classification results of the target condition may also include at least two grades of disease progression of the target condition. Displaying the demarcation lines and point sets corresponding to different grades can help the user to determine the current degree of disease progression of the target object. Taking the judgment of chronic liver disease as an example, because chronic liver disease often progresses with liver fibrosis and hepatitis, the more severe it is, the higher the grade is. For example, the degree of liver fibrosis can be divided into five stages: S0, S1, S2, S3, and S4. It can be divided into five grades: G0, G1, G2, G3, and G4, so different classification results can be formed according to the graded combination of liver fibrosis and hepatitis. For example, the three point sets shown in Figure 3 correspond to G0S0, G1S1, G4S4 from left to right, respectively.

Of course, there can also be only one classification result of the target disease. At this time, the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram can be used to compare the position of each measurement result in the two-dimensional coordinate domain when the same target subject is regularly followed up in the clinic. , observe the changes of the measurement results over time, and determine whether the tumor has a trend change.

It can be seen that in different disease inspection modes, different viscoelasticity correspondence diagrams may be used. Before generating the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram, the processor 116 may determine the corresponding relationship between at least two diseases according to the current ultrasound inspection mode or according to user instructions. The target condition matched by the target object, so as to generate a viscoelasticity correspondence relation map associated with the target condition measurement index according to the target condition. For example, the corresponding graphs of viscoelasticity displayed by breast disease and liver disease are different, and the corresponding graphs of viscoelasticity displayed by hepatitis B and hepatitis A are different.

The abscissa and ordinate axes of the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram are the elastic coordinate axis and the viscous coordinate axis, respectively. The elastic coordinate axis and the viscous coordinate axis define a two-dimensional coordinate domain, and the elastic coordinate axis and the viscous coordinate axis can be interchanged. Generally, the unit of the elastic coordinate axis is kPa, and the unit of the viscosity coordinate axis is Pa·s, but it is not limited to this. Depending on the viscoelastic imaging technology, other units may also be used for the elastic coordinate axis and the viscous coordinate axis, for example, the unit of the viscous coordinate axis may use m/s/KHz, etc. Optionally, the units of the elastic coordinate axis and the viscosity coordinate axis can also be 1 or dimensionless units.

As described above, each set of points displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate domain is used to represent a classification result of the target condition. Each set of points includes a plurality of coordinate points, and each coordinate point corresponds to a clinical measurement result corresponding to viscosity and elasticity. Exemplarily, a large number of clinical measurement results corresponding to the viscosity and elasticity corresponding to each classification result of the target disease can be obtained in advance, and the corresponding coordinate points are determined in the two-dimensional coordinate domain according to the size of the elasticity clinical measurement result of each case. The position of , is marked in the two-dimensional coordinate domain of the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram in the form of dots or asterisks, as shown in Figure 3. Depending on the quantity of pre-obtained clinical data, the size of the above point set may also be different, and the size of the data volume corresponding to different point sets may also be different. Generally speaking, the more coordinate points in the point set, the larger the sample size, the better it can reflect the real situation, and the more helpful for doctors to make accurate judgments. Exemplarily, the case groups considered by different hospitals are often different, so the hospital-specific point set can be formed mainly by using the past clinical data of the hospital.

A dividing line is also displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate domain of the viscoelasticity correspondence diagram, and the dividing line is used to divide the two-dimensional coordinate domain into regions corresponding to different classification results of the target disease. The demarcation line can be obtained based on the results of a large number of previous clinical research literatures, or it can be calculated based on the viscoelasticity measurement results of a large number of previous clinical studies combined with a classification algorithm. In Figure 3, the two-dimensional coordinate domain is divided into three regions by two dividing lines, and each region corresponds to a classification result of the target disease.

In some embodiments, the demarcation line may be determined by using multiple clinical measurement results corresponding to viscosity and elasticity corresponding to the point set, that is, the demarcation line and the point set are generated based on the same clinical measurement result and correspond to each other. Using the same clinical measurement results to generate a point set and a dividing line can make the two correspond well in the two-dimensional coordinate domain, and avoid confusion to the user due to the mismatch between the point set and the dividing line.

There may be various classification methods for determining the boundary line, including binary classification, multi-classification, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit a specific classification method. Exemplarily, single classification methods mainly include decision trees, Bayesian, artificial neural networks, K-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, and association rule-based classification, etc.; there are also ensemble learning algorithms for combining single classification methods, such as Bagging (Guided Aggregation Algorithm) and Boosting (Boosting Algorithm) etc.

Among them, decision tree learning is an instance-based inductive learning algorithm, which focuses on inferring classification rules represented by decision trees from a set of unordered and irregular instances. The main decision tree algorithms are ID3, C4.5 (C5.0), CART, PUBLIC, SLIQ and SPRINT algorithms. Bayesian classification algorithm is a class of algorithms that use probability and statistical knowledge for classification. It mainly uses Bayes' theorem to predict the possibility of an unknown category of samples belonging to each category, and selects the most likely category as the final sample of the sample. category. An artificial neural network is a mathematical model that uses a structure similar to the synaptic connection of the brain for information processing. The neural network usually needs to be trained, and the trained network can be used for object recognition; common neural networks include BP network, path To base RBF network, Hopfield network, random neural network, competitive neural network, etc. The k-nearest neighbor algorithm is an instance-based classification method. This method determines which class most of the k training samples belong to by finding the k training samples that are closest to the unknown sample x, and then classifies x as that one. kind. The support vector machine algorithm calculates the decision surface of the region based on the samples in the region, thereby determining the category of unknown samples in the region. The algorithms of association classification mainly include CBA, ADT, CMAR and so on. Ensemble learning is a machine learning paradigm, which attempts to obtain different base learners by continuously calling a single learning algorithm, and then combine these learners according to rules to solve the same problem, which can significantly improve the generalization ability of the learning system.

The dividing line of the classification is obtained after classification by the classification algorithm. The dividing line may be a linear dividing line obtained by linear classification or a nonlinear dividing line obtained by nonlinear classification, as shown in FIG. 4 , wherein the linear dividing line is a straight line, and the nonlinear dividing line is a curve. Linear or nonlinear classification boundaries can divide the two-dimensional coordinate domain into different regions, and different regions correspond to different classifications.

In the actual measurement process, the elasticity measurement result and viscosity measurement result of the target tissue of the target object are obtained, and the measurement result identification is generated in the two-dimensional coordinate domain according to the elasticity measurement result and the viscosity measurement result. Specifically, the ultrasonic probe 110 generates a shear wave propagating in the target tissue of the target object; the transmitting circuit 112 excites the ultrasonic probe 110 to transmit the first ultrasonic wave tracking the shear wave to the target tissue, and the receiving circuit 114 controls the ultrasonic probe 110 to receive The ultrasonic echo returned by the target tissue is to obtain the first echo signal of the first ultrasonic wave, and the processor 116 obtains the elasticity parameter and the viscosity parameter of the target tissue according to the first echo signal. The elastic measurement result can be obtained according to the elastic parameter in the area to be measured, and the viscosity measurement result can be obtained according to the viscosity parameter in the to-be-measured area. Each time an elastic measurement result and a viscosity measurement result are obtained, a corresponding measurement result identification can be generated. These measurement result identifiers can support operations such as deletion and switching of observations. For example, if the user selects which measurement result mark, the viscosity image or elasticity image corresponding to the mark, or the viscosity measurement result and the elasticity measurement result corresponding to the mark are automatically displayed. When switching different target objects for inspection, the measurement result identification of the previous target object displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate field can be cleared.

In some embodiments, before generating shear waves propagating within the target tissue of the target subject, the ultrasound system 100 first generates a tissue image of the target tissue from which a region of interest for deriving elastic and viscous parameters is determined. Specifically, the transmitting circuit 112 excites the ultrasonic probe 110 to transmit the second ultrasonic wave to the target tissue, and the receiving circuit 114 controls the ultrasonic probe 110 to receive the ultrasonic echo returned by the target tissue to obtain the second echo signal of the second ultrasonic wave. The second echo signal generates a tissue image of the target tissue, as shown in FIG. 5 . After the tissue image is obtained, the processor 116 can control the display 118 to display the tissue image, manually select the region of interest on the tissue image by the user, and determine the position of the region of interest according to the detected user input instruction. Alternatively, the processor 116 may automatically determine the location of the region of interest on the tissue image based on a relevant machine recognition algorithm, or may also obtain the region of interest by semi-automatic detection, for example, first automatically detect the region of interest based on a machine recognition algorithm on the tissue image The position of the region of interest is further modified or corrected by the user to obtain a more accurate position of the region of interest.

Then, according to the position of the region of interest, the target tissue of the target object can be subjected to acoustic radiation force focusing impact according to a preset pulse sequence to generate shear waves. Specifically, the ultrasound probe 110 transmits special ultrasound push pulses to the tissue corresponding to the region of interest of the target object to generate propagation of shear waves in the tissue based on the acoustic radiation force.

Next, the ultrasonic probe 110 continuously transmits a series of first ultrasonic waves tracking the shear wave to the target tissue for a period of time, and receives the first echo signal returned by the target tissue, and the processor 116 obtains the shear wave according to the first echo signal Organizational movement information during dissemination. Specifically, according to the wave characteristics, when the shear wave propagates through a certain position in the tissue, the tissue in the corresponding position will vibrate, and when the shear wave propagates away from a certain position, the tissue in that position will return to its original state. Therefore, by correlating and comparing the ultrasonic echoes obtained at different times, the tissue motion information within a period of time can be obtained. The tissue motion information may be tissue displacement, tissue motion velocity, tissue acceleration, tissue strain, etc., or data further processed by filtering, differentiation, integration, etc. based on the above variables.

The correlation comparison may be a comparison calculation between ultrasonic echo signals obtained at different adjacent times, or a comparison calculation between the ultrasonic echo signals at different times and the echo signals at the same reference time. Algorithms for correlation comparison may include general algorithms for conventional tissue displacement detection, such as cross-correlation comparison algorithms based on block matching, calculation methods based on Doppler frequency shifts, methods based on phase shift detection, and the like. According to the tissue motion information, the elastic parameters of the target tissue can be obtained.

In order to obtain the viscosity parameter of the target tissue, tissue motion information corresponding to at least two shear waves of different frequencies can be extracted from the tissue motion information. For example, tissue motion information of shear waves of at least two different frequencies can be extracted by filtering the tissue motion information. The filtering method can be performed in the time domain, frequency domain or various algorithms, and the algorithm can also be a convolution operation. Make specific restrictions.

The viscosity parameter of the target tissue can be obtained according to the tissue motion information corresponding to the shear waves of at least two different frequencies. For pure elastic bodies, the tissue motion information caused by shear wave propagation is mainly affected by the elastic parameters. For viscoelastics, tissue motion information is affected by both elasticity and viscosity. Due to the influence of viscous factors, the propagation of shear waves in tissue will show dispersion effects, that is, the propagation of shear waves of different frequencies causes different tissue operation information. Therefore, the viscosity parameters of the target tissue can be obtained according to the tissue motion information corresponding to shear waves of different frequencies. According to the above method, the viscosity parameter can be obtained by the first ultrasonic echo signal obtained by one transmission and reception, but in other embodiments, at least two shear waves of different frequencies propagating in the target tissue can be generated in sequence, and the transmission tracking Ultrasonic waves of at least two shear waves of different frequencies and receive echo signals, according to the tissue motion information corresponding to at least two shear waves of different frequencies according to the different echo signals, and then according to the corresponding shear waves of at least two different frequencies the tissue motion information to obtain the viscosity parameter.

After obtaining the elasticity parameters and the viscosity parameters, the processor 116 may further generate an elasticity image according to the elasticity parameters, generate a viscosity image according to the viscosity parameters, and control the display 118 to display the viscosity image and the elasticity image. Further, the region to be measured can be determined within the region of interest according to the elastic image or the viscosity image, the elastic measurement result can be obtained according to the elastic parameter of the to-be-measured region, and the viscosity measurement result can be obtained according to the viscosity parameter of the to-be-measured region. Wherein, the area to be measured may be determined according to the received user instruction, or may be determined automatically by the ultrasound system. The area to be measured may include one or more pixels, and when it includes multiple pixels, the elasticity measurement result may be the statistical value of the elasticity parameters of the plurality of pixels in the area to be measured, such as the average of the elasticity parameters of the plurality of pixels. value. Similarly, the viscosity measurement result may be a statistical value of the viscosity parameters of a plurality of pixel points in the area to be measured, such as an average value of the viscosity parameters of the plurality of pixel points. After the elastic measurement results and the viscosity measurement results are obtained, the specific values of the elastic measurement results and the viscosity measurement results can also be displayed.

In another embodiment, after the tissue image is generated, the area to be measured can be directly determined according to the tissue image, the elasticity parameter and the viscosity parameter are obtained according to the area to be measured, and the elasticity measurement result and the viscosity parameter are respectively generated according to the elasticity parameter and viscosity parameter of the area to be measured. The viscosity measurement results are shown in Figure 6.

After obtaining the elastic measurement result and the viscosity measurement result, the representative elastic measurement result can be generated in the two-dimensional coordinate domain according to the corresponding position of the elastic measurement result on the elastic coordinate axis and the corresponding position of the viscosity measurement result on the viscosity coordinate axis. and measurement result identification for viscosity measurement results. According to the position marked by the measurement result in the two-dimensional coordinate domain, the doctor can judge the disease classification of the target object.

Specifically, the relative position of the measurement result identification and the dividing line is used to represent the classification result of the target condition corresponding to the target object. For example, the dividing line divides the two-dimensional coordinate domain into left and right regions, the left side is the region corresponding to the first classification of the target disease, the right side is the region corresponding to the second classification result of the target disease, and the measurement result mark falls on the dividing line On the right side of , it indicates that the classification result of the target disease corresponding to the target object is the second classification result.

On the other hand, the measurement result identifies the relative position of the point set for representing the closeness of the classification result of the target condition corresponding to the target object. The closer the measurement result identifier is to the position of a certain point set, the closer the disease classification judgment result of the target object is to the classification result of the target object corresponding to the point set.

In the actual measurement process, in order to improve the accuracy, the user may measure multiple times in a row. If multiple measurement result identifiers all fall in the region corresponding to the same classification of the target disease, it means that the examination result of the target object is probably the classification of the target disease. In actual judgment, the measurement result identifiers obtained from multiple measurements may also fall in multiple adjacent regions, respectively. In this case, the number of measurements can be increased, and the judgment is made according to the maximum measurement probability. If the difference between the results of multiple measurements is too large, the measurement results are scattered in different areas, and the distance is far away, which may indicate that the measurement fails, and it is necessary to adjust the machine parameters, or adjust the measurement position of the target object, or adjust the operation method, etc. , for more stable results. In some embodiments, the measurement result identifiers corresponding to different times may also be displayed in different colors or in different shapes, so that the user can distinguish them.

To sum up, the ultrasound system 100 and the viscoelasticity measurement result display method 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention provide a two-dimensional coordinate domain defined according to the elastic coordinate axis and the viscosity coordinate axis, and pre-display the classification used to represent the target disease in it. The resulting set of points and the demarcation lines used to divide the two-dimensional coordinate domain into regions corresponding to the different classification results of the target condition. After obtaining the elastic measurement results and viscosity measurement results of the target object, the measurement result identification corresponding to the elastic measurement results and the viscosity measurement results is displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate domain, so that the user can identify the relative relationship between the boundary line and the point set according to the measurement result identification. The location determines the classification result of the target disease corresponding to the target object, and guides the user to make a comprehensive judgment based on the elasticity measurement result and the viscosity measurement result.

The embodiment of the present invention further provides an ultrasonic system.

In the above ultrasonic system and the method 700 for displaying ultrasonic measurement results, the first ultrasonic measurement result and the second ultrasonic measurement result are not limited to the elasticity measurement result and the viscosity measurement result, but may also include other ultrasonic measurement results. For example, the first ultrasound measurement and the second ultrasound measurement are an acoustic attenuation measurement and an elasticity measurement, respectively. The sound attenuation parameter is used to reflect the attenuation of the sound intensity (such as amplitude, energy) when the ultrasonic wave propagates in a certain depth range, and can be used to predict the degree of fatty liver in clinical practice. Generally speaking, the more severe the fatty liver, the faster the sound attenuation. The acoustic attenuation measurement results and the elasticity measurement results can be jointly used for classification and judgment of liver diseases.

The first ultrasound measurement and the second ultrasound measurement may also be a contrast measurement and an elasticity measurement, respectively. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound refers to the use of contrast agents to enhance the backscattered echoes after intravenous injection of ultrasound contrast agents to improve the resolution and sensitivity of ultrasound judgment, and is usually used to determine the blood supply of tumors. Elastography can quantitatively reflect tumor stiffness. The angiographic measurement results and the elasticity measurement results can be used together to classify and judge the tumor lesions.

The ultrasound measurement result correspondence diagram and the measurement result identification may be displayed on the same screen as the first ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image, or the ultrasound measurement result correspondence diagram and the measurement result identification may be displayed in the measurement report. In another embodiment, the tissue image of the target tissue can be used to directly determine the area to be measured according to the tissue image, and the first ultrasonic measurement result and the second ultrasonic measurement result can be obtained according to the to-be-measured area.

After the first measurement result and the second measurement result of the target object are obtained, the measurement result identifiers corresponding to the first measurement result and the second measurement result are displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate domain, so that the user can identify the boundary line and the boundary line according to the measurement result identifier. The relative position of the point set determines the classification result of the target disease corresponding to the target object, and guides the user to make a comprehensive judgment based on the first measurement result and the second measurement result.

The embodiment of the present invention further provides an ultrasonic system. Continuing to refer to FIG. 1, the ultrasonic system 100 includes an ultrasonic probe 110, a transmitting circuit 112, a receiving circuit 114, a processor 116 and a display 118, wherein: the transmitting circuit 112 is used to excite the ultrasonic probe 110 transmits ultrasonic waves to the target tissue; the receiving circuit 114 is used to control the ultrasonic probe 110 to receive the ultrasonic echo signals of the ultrasonic waves; the processor 116 is used to: generate a corresponding relationship diagram of the ultrasonic measurement results associated with the measurement indexes of the target disease, the The ultrasonic measurement result correspondence diagram includes a first coordinate axis corresponding to the first ultrasonic measurement result of the first measurement index, and a second coordinate axis corresponding to the second ultrasonic measurement result of the second measurement index, the ultrasonic measurement result corresponding to The relationship diagram further includes a dividing line and/or at least one area identification, wherein the area identification and/or the dividing line are displayed in a two-dimensional coordinate field defined by the first coordinate axis and the second coordinate axis, Each of the region identifiers is used to represent a classification result of the target disease; the dividing line is used to divide the two-dimensional coordinate domain into regions corresponding to different classification results of the target disease; obtain the target object The first ultrasonic measurement result and the second ultrasonic measurement result of the area to be measured; according to the corresponding position of the first ultrasonic measurement result on the first coordinate axis and the second ultrasonic measurement result on the second coordinate The corresponding position on the axis, the measurement result identification representing the first ultrasonic measurement result and the second ultrasonic measurement result is generated in the two-dimensional coordinate domain; the control display 118 displays the corresponding relationship diagram of the ultrasonic measurement results and the The measurement result identification is displayed in the two-dimensional coordinate field of the ultrasound measurement result correspondence diagram, wherein the relative position of the measurement result identification and the dividing line is used to indicate the target disease corresponding to the target object.

The position is used to represent the classification result of the target condition corresponding to the target object, and the relative position of the measurement result identifier and the area identifier is used to represent the proximity of the classification result of the target condition corresponding to the target object degree.

The difference from the above is that, in the above-mentioned ultrasonic system and the method 800 for displaying ultrasonic measurement results, the classification result of the target disease is represented by the region identification instead of the point set, and the region identification corresponding to the same classification result of the target disease is used. It is basically the same as the location of the point set. The area identifier may be generated according to the clinical measurement results corresponding to the plurality of first measurement indexes and the second measurement index, that is, the area identifier and the point set described above may be generated using the same clinical measurement results. Alternatively, regional identification can also be obtained based on clinical research literature results.
