基于光线追踪与超声多普勒技术的心脏超声动态模拟

Dynamic simulation of cardiac ultrasound based on ray tracing and ultrasound Doppler technology

  • 摘要: 对心脏超声进行动态模拟是一项重要且有挑战性的任务。文章使用从计算机断层成像(computed tomography, CT)数据重建出的三维心脏动画模型,通过光线追踪方法和超声多普勒技术对心脏运动进行计算机仿真,并将动画序列缓存到图形处理器(graphics processing unit, GPU)上,实现实时的心脏超声动态模拟。由实验结果可知,在光线数量为512,超声图像分辨率为145 μm,模型三角面片数超过200000的情况下,模型能够以超过20帧·s−1的速度实时生成动态超声图像。同时,通过光线追踪的方法实现了超声多普勒仿真,验证了使用散射子技术实现超声多普勒仿真的可行性。

     

    Abstract: The dynamic simulation of cardiac ultrasound is a crucial and challenging task. In this paper, a three-dimensional cardiac animation model reconstructed from computed tomography(CT) data is utilized. Ray tracing and ultrasound Doppler techniques are employed for the computational simulation of cardiac motion. Subsequently, the animation sequences are cached on the graphics processing unit(GPU) to achieve real-time dynamic simulation of cardiac ultrasound. The experimental results show that with 512 rays and an ultrasound image resolution of 145 μm, the model, which consists of over 200,000 triangular facets, is able to generate dynamic ultrasound images at a rate exceeding 20 frames per second. Meanwhile, ultrasound Doppler simulation is realized through the ray tracing method, which verifis the feasibility of using scattering technology to achieve ultrasound Doppler simulation.
