Abstract
A medical imaging system and an image processing method for producing an optimized image from an input image are provided. The medical imaging system comprises: a parameter accumulator configured to accumulate a preset number of basic parameters; a parameter determiner configured to produce new reference parameters based on current reference parameters and the accumulated basic parameters to replace the current reference parameters with the new reference parameters; an image processor configured to process an input image to generate an optimized image according to an image processing algorithm based on the reference parameters sent from the parameter determiner; and a controller configured to control overall operation of the medical imaging system.

A medical imaging system for producing an optimized image from an input image of an object, comprising:
- a parameter accumulator configured to accumulate a preset number of basic parameters;
- a parameter determiner configured to produce new reference parameters based on current reference parameters and the accumulated basic parameters to replace the current reference parameters with the new reference parameters;
- an image processor configured to process an input image to generate an optimized image according to an image processing algorithm based on the reference parameters sent from the parameter determiner;
- and
- a controller configured to control overall operation of the medical imaging system;
- wherein the medical imaging system is an ultrasonic diagnostic system, and the parameter comprises at least one of gain, time gain compensation and dynamic range.
An image processing method of a medical imaging system processing an input image of an object to generate an optimized image based on reference parameters, the method comprising:
- accumulating basic parameters;
- determining whether the number of accumulated basic parameters reaches a preset number;
- if the number of accumulated basic parameters reaches the preset number, producing new reference parameters based on current reference parameters and the accumulated basic parameters to replace the current reference parameters with the new reference parameters;
- and processing an input image of an object to generate an optimized image according to an image processing algorithm using the reference parameters, wherein at the step of determining, if the number of accumulated basic parameters does not reach the preset number, then the step of processing is performed;
- wherein the method is used in an ultrasonic diagnostic system and the parameter is at least one of gain, time gain compensation, and dynamic range.
