Abstract
A method for automatic identification of a measurement item includes: acquiring gray values of pixels of a specified section image, where the gray values of the pixels correspond to ultrasound echoes generated by reflection of ultrasound waves by a tissue under examination; determining a section type of the specified section image based on one or more characteristics defined by the gray values of the pixels, the section type identifying a particular section of a particular area of the tissue from which the specified section image is acquired; identifying at least one measurement item which is measurable in the specified section image according to the section type of the specified section image; and obtaining a value of the identified at least one measurement item according to the specified section image.
