Medical ultrasound scanner is a non invasive diagnostic tool widely used in clinical medicine. Medical ultrasound scanners also play a very important role in the diagnosis of liver diseases. Let's take a look at the application of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of liver diseases.
Liver texture examination
Medical ultrasound scanners can determine whether the liver is abnormal by examining the texture of the liver. The normal liver texture is usually uniform and finely echogenic. Liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer can lead to changes in liver structure and texture, which can be detected and analyzed by ultrasound imaging.
Liver size examination
Medical ultrasound scanners can also examine the size of the liver to help identify liver diseases. Diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer can lead to increased liver volume and may exhibit irregular shapes. Through ultrasound scanning, doctors can quickly and accurately determine the size and shape of the liver, thereby better determining the severity of the disease.
Hemodynamic examination
Medical ultrasound scanners can also perform liver hemodynamic examinations. The blood supply of the liver is crucial for its normal function. Using ultrasound imaging technology, doctors can detect the velocity and direction of blood flow in the internal arteries and veins of the liver to assess the blood flow status of the liver. In addition, they can also detect localized abnormal blood flow conditions and assist in determining the presence of liver cancer and other diseases.
Examination of intrahepatic bile ducts
Obstruction of intrahepatic bile ducts is a common liver disease. Ultrasound scanners can be used as an important means of diagnosing intrahepatic bile duct obstruction by detecting lesions such as stenosis, dilation, or stones in the bile duct, and help doctors determine the location, scope, and severity of the lesion.
In summary, medical ultrasound scanners play a very important role in the diagnosis of liver diseases, with a wide range of applications, accurate diagnostic results, and non-invasive. With the continuous development of ultrasound technology, medical ultrasound scanners will play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis of liver diseases, providing patients with safer, more accurate and humanized medical services.
