Medical ultrasound scanner: a sharp tool for early diagnosis of pediatric diseases
Medical ultrasound scanners have become an important tool for pediatricians in early pediatric disease diagnosis due to their non-invasive, non-invasive, and no side effects characteristics. This article will introduce the importance and advantages of ultrasound scanners in early pediatric disease diagnosis from the perspective of the needs of early pediatric disease diagnosis and the application of ultrasound scanners.
1、 The need for early diagnosis of pediatric diseases
In the process of children's growth and development, due to the particularity and fragility of various tissues and organs in the body, they are easily affected by various factors such as infectious diseases, genetic diseases, congenital malformations, etc., leading to the occurrence of various diseases and abnormal situations. Early diagnosis of pediatric diseases is aimed at addressing the aforementioned issues, through various examination and testing methods, to detect and diagnose various pediatric diseases as soon as possible, improve treatment effectiveness and prognosis.
2、 The application of ultrasound scanner in the diagnosis of early pediatric diseases
Diagnosis of neonatal brain injury: Neonatal brain injury is a common disease that troubles the health of newborns, and early diagnosis is crucial for improving patient prognosis. Ultrasound scanners can diagnose neonatal brain injury by detecting intracranial hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, cerebral hypoxia, and other conditions.
Evaluate fetal development: Ultrasound scanners can observe fetal growth and development during pregnancy, including indicators such as fetal head circumference, abdominal circumference, femoral length, placental morphology, amniotic fluid volume, and detect the presence of congenital abnormalities.
Diagnosis of abdominal diseases in infants and young children: Abdominal diseases are one of the common diseases in infants and young children, including liver cysts, bile duct cysts, cholecystitis, and other diseases. Ultrasound scanners can detect these diseases by scanning organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, achieving early diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosis of pediatric heart disease: Childhood heart disease is a serious pediatric disease that can lead to serious consequences such as heart failure and arrhythmia. Ultrasonic scanner can detect ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, bicuspid aortic valve and other diseases in the examination of children's heart diseases, so as to facilitate timely surgical treatment or drug treatment.
