Abstract
Provided are method, apparatus and device for measuring a thickness of a subcutaneous tissue, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: emitting ultrasonic detection waves inwards from a skin surface, and acquiring ultrasonic echo signals of the ultrasonic detection waves; determining, according to ultrasonic parameter values of the ultrasonic echo signals and a characteristic parameter threshold of a subcutaneous tissue, the moment the ultrasonic echo signals from the boundary of the subcutaneous tissue are received; and calculating a thickness of the subcutaneous tissue according to the moment the ultrasonic echo signals from the boundary of the subcutaneous tissue are received, thereby enabling a precise measure of the thickness of the subcutaneous tissue.
