摘要:
A non-invasive liver fibrosis evaluation device and a method thereof are related. The device comprises an ultrasound unit, a Nakagami parameter generation unit, a hardness value generation unit, a data base, and a determination unit. The method comprises steps of: scanning the external body part corresponding to the liver by a transducer of the ultrasound unit to produce plural ultrasound image data sets analyzing one ultrasound image data set with the Nakagami distribution to produce a Nakagami parameter by using the. Nakagami parameter generation unit analyzing plural ultrasound image data sets to produce a hardness value by using the hardness value generation unit and evaluating the liver fibrosis by comparing the Nakagami parameter and the hardness value with plural reference parameter sets stored in the data base by using the determination unit.
