We present PRETUS -a Plugin-based Real Time UltraSound software platform for live ultrasound image analysis and operator support. The software is lightweight; functionality is brought in via independent plug-ins that can be arranged in sequence. The software allows to capture the real-time stream of ultrasound images from virtually any ultrasound machine, applies computational methods and visualises the results on-the-fly. Plug-ins can run concurrently without blocking each other. They can be implemented in C ++ and Python. A graphical user interface can be implemented for each plug-in, and presented to the user in a compact way. The software is free and open source, and allows for rapid prototyping and testing of real-time ultrasound imaging methods in a manufacturer-agnostic fashion. The software is provided with input, output and processing plug-ins, as well as with tutorials to illustrate how to develop new plug-ins for PRETUS.
翻译:我们推出了基于 PRETUS - a Plugin的实时超时超声波软件平台, 用于现场超声波图像分析和操作员支持。 软件是轻量的; 功能是通过独立插件引入的, 可以按顺序排列。 软件可以从几乎所有超声波机器中捕获超声波图像实时流, 应用计算方法, 并直观地观察结果。 插件可以同时运行, 而不相互屏蔽。 它们可以在 C++ 和 Python 中实施。 图形用户界面可以对每个插件实施, 并以紧凑的方式向用户展示。 软件是免费和开放的源, 允许以制造商- 通识的方式快速进行超声波成像的原型和实时测试。 软件可以提供输入、 输出和 处理插件, 以及 指导如何为 PRETUS 开发新的插件的教程。
