Breast cancer is a common female tumor, early detection and early treatment of breast cancer is of great significance. At present, the application of medical ultrasound scanner has become an important means of breast cancer diagnosis. This article will introduce the application of medical ultrasonic scanner in the diagnosis of breast cancer from its principle, inspection method, advantages and application.

1、 The principle of medical ultrasound scanner

Ultrasound is a high-frequency sound wave with penetrability and reflectivity. Medical ultrasound scanners rely on transmitters to emit high-frequency sound waves inside the human body and receive the returned sound waves through probes, thus forming black and white ultrasound images of the internal tissues of the human body. The tissue structure of breast cancer is obviously different from that of normal breast tissue. Ultrasound can directly image the tumor through the penetration of breast fat to better present the shape and size of the tumor.

2、 Inspection method

There are many ways to examine breast cancer, and routine mammography (mammography) and ultrasound are the most common two methods. Ultrasound examination is more detailed and comprehensive than X-ray examination. During breast ultrasound examination, doctors need to scan the patient's breasts and obtain multiple sets of two-dimensional or three-dimensional images. Based on the examination results, doctors can better determine whether there is a lump in the breast and its nature, size, and other information, while also observing the condition of surrounding lymph nodes.

3、 Advantages

The advantages of medical ultrasound scanners are:

1. Non invasive: Ultrasound scanning can maintain the integrity of the patient without incision or invasion of breast tissue.

2. Safe and reliable: Ultrasonic scanning will not cause radioactive hazards to the human body.

3. Relatively low cost: Compared with other breast cancer diagnosis methods, hospitals with a medical ultrasonic scanner can achieve lower cost diagnosis and better meet the needs of patients and society.

4. Painless, non-invasive, and non-invasive: Unlike other breast examination methods, ultrasound scanning does not have incisions or other trauma, which can avoid pain.

5. Short examination process: Generally, ultrasound examination for breast cancer only needs a short time to quickly obtain the basic information of the patient.

4、 Application

Medical ultrasonic scanner is a common non-invasive examination method in the diagnosis of breast cancer. It can not only help clinicians diagnose breast cancer, judge the size and location of the tumor, but also check the metastasis of breast cancer. At the same time, ultrasound diagnosis can also supplement and assist other imaging based examination methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging and breast X-ray examination. In addition, ultrasound scanning also has important applications in tumor treatment, which can help doctors conduct more detailed evaluation and monitoring of tumors, and complete follow-up of tumors.

In a word, as an important means of breast cancer diagnosis, the application of medical ultrasound scanner has been widely recognized and promoted. Through continuous adjustment of technology and methods, ultrasound scanning has become one of the fast, accurate and non-invasive diagnostic methods for breast cancer. In the future, with the further development of medical technology, the diagnostic effect of ultrasonic scanning will be more excellent, helping more patients with breast cancer get timely diagnosis and treatment.
