Abstract
Disclosed are a tissue elasticity measurement method and device. The method includes: transmitting a first ultrasonic signal to a tissue in a measurement area; tracking at least one imaging line of the first ultrasonic signal; determining, according to the imaging line at a plurality of time points, a motion state of each imaging line; and selecting a position with an imaging line with a motion state meeting a preset condition and performing tissue elasticity measurement. The problem of impact on the motion state of the issue in a to-be-measured area on the accuracy of elasticity measurement is solved, and accuracy of elasticity measurement on the tissue in the measurement area is improved.
Claims3
A tissue elasticity measurement device, wherein the tissue elasticity measurement device comprises a control host of medical imaging and an elasticity measurement probe;
