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.

Method and device for automatic identification of measurement item and ultrasound imaging apparatus

A method for automatic identification of a measurement item is provided. The method comprises acquiring, via an image acquisition module, gray values of pixels of a specified section image corresponding to ultrasonic echoes generated by reflection of ultrasound waves by a tissue under examination; identifying, via an identification module, at least one measurement item corresponding to the specified section image based on the gray values of the pixels; and measuring, via a measuring module, a measurement item parameter of the specified section image based on the measurement item identified. Because the measurement item of a specified section image can be automatically identified based on the content thereof, the user does not need to move a trackball to select measurement items, and therefore efficiency is increased.
