In this embodiment, the optical marker configuration module transmits the three-dimensional calibration information of the ultrasound probe, the puncture needle and the optical positioning markers thereof to the positioning module, and performs surgical puncture navigation after calibration is completed. Specifically, optical positioning can be performed by the positioning module, that is, by acquiring optical signals of theoptical positioning markers 1011 and 1021, three-dimensional positioning information of thepuncture needle 101 and theultrasound probe 102 can be analyzed according to the acquired optical signals, where the three-dimensional positioning information refers to coordinate information of thepuncture needle 101 and theultrasound probe 102 in a coordinate system using the positioning module as a reference system.
Meanwhile, the ultrasonic imaging data acquired by the ultrasonic probe in real time is acquired through the ultrasonic imaging data acquisition module, and the ultrasonic imaging data specifically comprises ultrasonic images, timestamp data, working state data and the like. Then, the puncture needle track generation module converts the coordinates of the puncture needle into an ultrasound image of a second coordinate system according to the three-dimensional positioning information of thepuncture needle 101 and theultrasound probe 102 and the ultrasound image, wherein the second coordinate system is a coordinate system with the ultrasound image as a reference.

Further, the position of the target puncture region in theultrasound image 800 can be determined according to the mark, and the distance between the puncture needle and the target puncture region in the ultrasound image can be determined by combining the position and the track of the puncture needle in the ultrasound image of the second coordinate system. When the distance between the puncture needle and the target puncture area is smaller than a preset threshold value, an alarm can be given out through the alarm module. In this embodiment, when the offset distance of the puncture needle relative to the ultrasound image is smaller than the preset threshold, an alarm can be issued by the alarm module. Thereby clearly indicating the puncture direction and depth and the position of the target puncture area, and further being beneficial to accurately and quickly completing the surgical puncture.
As shown in fig. 9, the line segment ET 'and the line segment T' L form a track of the puncture needle in the ultrasound image plane, the cross C is the intersection point of the puncture needle direction and the ultrasound image plane, the curve M is the outline of the target puncture region, and the blob-like shadow in the outline is the puncture target. The current displayed picture is that the track (namely, the line segment EL) of the puncture needle in the ultrasonic image plane passes through a target puncture area (namely, the curve M), but the predicted position (namely, the cross mark C) of the puncture needle about to pass through the ultrasonic image plane is positioned outside the target area, so that the cross mark C can be kept in the target area (namely, the curve M) by adjusting the puncture needle, and the navigation can be completed by pushing the puncture needle until the cross mark C is coincided with the puncture needle tip (namely, T'), thereby realizing the successful puncture.
In the above embodiment, in order to enhance the display effect and make the display result more intuitive, the ultrasound image displayed in thedisplay module 204 and the position and the track of the puncture needle in the ultrasound image may be displayed in color, specifically, the track of the puncture needle in the ultrasound image and the extension line thereof may be distinguished by line segments of different shapes, thicknesses, or colors, respectively, so that the doctor may view the operation navigation picture more efficiently.

The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
