With the continuous progress of modern medical technology, Medical imaging has become an indispensable part of the medical field. Ultrasound scanning technology is one of the commonly used imaging methods and is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of obstetric diseases.

1、 The advantages of ultrasonic scanning technology

Ultrasonic scanning technology is an inspection method that combines electronic technology and acoustic technology. Its main advantage is that it has very little impact on the human body and does not cause radiation damage. Compared with traditional imaging technologies such as X-ray CT, ultrasound scanning technology is safer and particularly suitable for diagnostic examinations for special populations such as pregnant women.

In addition, ultrasound scanning technology has the characteristics of fast imaging speed, high resolution, and good repeatability, which can clearly observe the internal structure and tissue of the human body. At the same time, it can also monitor the fetal heart rate and changes in various obstetric diseases in real-time. Therefore, it is widely used for screening and detection of obstetric diseases.

2、 Application of ultrasound scanning technology in maternal health care

Pregnancy examination is one of the important contents of maternal health care, among which ultrasound scanning technology is a very important examination method. By using ultrasound scanning technology, the development of the uterus and fetus in pregnant women, the position of the placenta, and the position of the fetus in the uterus and fetus can be detected and prevented in a timely manner.

1. Ultrasound examination in early pregnancy

Ultrasound examination in early pregnancy can help doctors to determine whether the fetus develops normally in the uterine cavity, and exclude possible abnormalities such as Ectopic pregnancy. In addition, you can also check the condition of the pregnant woman's uterus and ovary, so as to find possible Ovarian cyst or other abnormalities in time.

2. Ultrasound examination in mid pregnancy

Midpregnancy ultrasound examination is the most important examination in maternal health, with the main purpose of understanding the development and gender of the fetus. On this basis, we can also check whether the organs of the fetus are developing normally and whether there are organ abnormalities. In addition, the position of the placenta, the position of the fetus, and fetal position can also be checked for timely implementation of corresponding treatment measures.

3. Ultrasound examination in late pregnancy

Ultrasound examination in late pregnancy is mainly used to evaluate the weight and growth of the fetus, as well as the condition of the placenta. This is very important for prenatal preparation and the choice of natural delivery or Caesarean section.

3、 Application of ultrasound scanning technology in obstetric diseases

In addition to maternal health care, ultrasound scanning technology is also widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of obstetric diseases. Below are several common examples.

1. Diagnosis of early miscarriage

Early miscarriage refers to embryonic death or miscarriage before 20 weeks of pregnancy. The main symptoms of early miscarriage are abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, but these symptoms may also be manifestations of other diseases. Therefore, ultrasonic examination can help doctors determine whether the embryo in the gestational sac develops normally and whether there is the possibility of abortion.

2. Detection of Amniotic fluid embolism

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is one of the rare but very dangerous complications of pregnancy in pregnant women. It refers to the substances in amniotic fluid entering the maternal circulatory system, causing the mother's diffuse intravascular coagulation and pulmonary embolism and other symptoms. Ultrasound scanning technology can help doctors detect fetal smegma and foreign objects in amniotic fluid in a timely manner, in order to take corresponding treatment measures.

3. Placental abruption

Placental abruption refers to a dangerous situation where the placenta prematurely detaches from the uterine wall. This situation may pose a threat to the life safety of mothers and infants. Ultrasound technology can help doctors detect the situation of placenta and uterus in time to determine whether pregnant women need emergency Caesarean section.

4. Fetal intrauterine growth retardation

Fetal intrauterine growth retardation refers to a condition in which fetal growth is restricted and does not correspond to gestational age. This situation may lead to issues such as low birth weight, premature birth, or death of the fetus. Ultrasound scanning technology can help doctors evaluate the growth of the fetus, detect it early, and take corresponding treatment measures to ensure the safety of pregnant women and fetuses.

In summary, ultrasound scanning technology is a very safe, reliable, and commonly used imaging examination method, widely used in the screening and treatment of obstetric diseases. Ultrasound scanning technology can not only perform health checks on pregnant women, but also diagnose and treat related obstetric diseases, thereby ensuring the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
