Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to an ultrasound imaging device and system and a breast ultrasound apparatus. The ultrasound imaging device includes: a memory and a processor, the memory storing at least one program instruction, and the processor loading and executing the at least one program instruction to implement the following steps: transmitting ultrasound pulses and receiving n echo signals in an interleaved transmission and reception manner, wherein n is an integer greater than 1; acquiring a differential signal d(t) of the n echo signals; performing amplitude detection on the n echo signals to obtain an envelope of each echo signal, and acquiring a sum B(t) of the envelopes of the echo signals; calculating image gray intensity of the blood flow imaging mode according to the d(t) and B(t); acquiring B-mode ultrasound echo data; and performing scan conversion on the B-mode ultrasound echo data and the calculated image gray intensity of the blood flow imaging mode, and displaying an ultrasound image according to a conversion result. In this way, the problem of artifacts in the ultrasound image in the prior art is solved.…
