Medical ultrasound scanner is a common medical device that uses ultrasound to image inside the human body, providing noninvasive, high-resolution image information for clinicians. Since the 1950s, medical ultrasound scanners have become an indispensable tool in diagnosis and treatment. This article will explore the role of medical ultrasound scanners in clinical applications.

1、 Classification of medical ultrasound scanners

Medical ultrasound scanners are mainly divided into two types: two-dimensional ultrasound and three-dimensional ultrasound. Among them, two-dimensional ultrasound is the simplest and most common form, which can display the internal tissue structure, blood vessels, organs, etc. of the human body; Three-dimensional ultrasound can provide more realistic and three-dimensional images, which is very helpful for complex surgical procedures and accurate diagnosis.

In addition, medical ultrasound scanners can also be classified according to their application fields. For example, cardiac ultrasound, obstetric ultrasound, liver ultrasound, thyroid ultrasound, breast ultrasound, and other types of ultrasound scanners have specific application scenarios and technical requirements.

2、 The role of medical ultrasound scanner in clinical application

diagnose

Medical ultrasound scanners can be used to detect problems with body parts such as tumors, organ lesions, and structural abnormalities. For example, in cardiac ultrasound, doctors can observe the structure and function of the heart through ultrasound imaging to detect diseases such as cardiac dysfunction and myocarditis; In prenatal ultrasound, doctors can observe the growth and development of the fetus, and check whether the fetus has abnormalities, congenital diseases, and other issues. The high resolution and non invasive characteristics of medical ultrasound scanners make them essential equipment in many diagnostic processes.

Coaching treatment

Medical ultrasound scanners can also be used to guide patients undergoing surgical procedures. For example, before surgery, doctors can use ultrasound scanners to determine the location, size, shape, and other conditions of the tumor, thereby more accurately formulating a surgical plan; During surgery, doctors can guide surgical operations based on ultrasound imaging to improve the accuracy and safety of surgery. In addition, medical ultrasound scanners can also play an important guiding role in many interventional treatments.

Monitor disease progression

Medical ultrasound scanners can be used to monitor the progress of certain diseases. For example, during the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, doctors will regularly use ultrasonic scanners to observe the size, shape and other characteristics of the tumor, so as to judge whether the cancer cells are spreading or relapsing.
