Abstract
A method and a system for detecting and analyzing a mucosa of a digestive tract are provided. The method includes detecting reply signals from the mucosa of the digestive tract within a depth range, acquiring 2D vascular images by performing a vascular enhancement on the reply signals, constructing a 3D vascular contrasting image of at least part of the mucosa of the digestive tract within the depth range by recombining at least part of the 2D vascular images, and reconstructing a 3D vascular contrasting projection image by performing a projection process to the 3D vascular contrasting image, and defining a stage of the mucosa of the digestive tract within the depth range according to the 3D vascular contrasting projection image, the 3D vascular contrasting image, the 2D vascular images, and vessel morphologies shown therein.
