With the development of modern medical technology and biotechnology, more and more new technologies have been widely applied and promoted in the production and medical field. Among them, the application of ultrasonic scanning technology in the field of Medical imaging has been a major breakthrough and development. Now, with the continuous updating of ultrasound equipment and technology, research has found that ultrasound scanning technology can play an important role in screening diabetes during pregnancy.

What is gestational diabetes?

Gestational diabetes refers to the abnormal glucose metabolism of pregnant women during pregnancy, which is one of the common complications and can also bring many problems to mothers and babies. During pregnancy, women's insulin sensitivity decreases and insulin secretion increases, which is a natural adaptive response of the body. Because the pancreas of pregnant women cannot secrete enough insulin, the body cannot turn sugar and sugar in the blood into energy. Instead, it accumulates too much in the blood, leading to high blood sugar and diabetes in pregnancy. If diabetes in pregnancy is not treated in time, it will affect the growth, development and health of the fetus, and even cause high risk problems such as insulin regulation disorder and fetal macrosomia in newborns.

Screening of gestational diabetes

At present, screening for diabetes during pregnancy is a necessary part of pregnancy health care. Screening should be carried out once in the first 3-5 weeks of pregnancy. For those pregnant women with high levels of Glycated hemoglobin, more attention should be paid to the screening of high-risk groups. Laboratory tests such as insulin release test and oral glucose tolerance test can be carried out to confirm whether there is diabetes during pregnancy. However, these methods have the drawbacks of high economic costs, discomfort, and inconvenience. Therefore, researchers began to explore other new methods for screening gestational diabetes, and ultrasonic scanning technology appeared in this field.

Advantages of ultrasound scanning technology in screening diabetes during pregnancy

Ultrasonic scanning technology is a non-invasive detection method with significant advantages. Using ultrasonic equipment to analyze the images of pregnant women's abdomen can detect the liver and uterine container tissue status in pregnant women, which plays a good role in screening diabetes in pregnancy. At present, many studies have shown that ultrasound scanning technology in the screening of gestational diabetes has been more and more widely used and promoted.

1. High sensitivity

Ultrasonic scanning technology can accurately detect the state of visceral organs such as liver, pancreas, kidney and uterine container tissue, and can detect diabetes in pregnancy as early as possible. Especially in late pregnancy, there are significant changes in the tissue status of the liver and pancreas of pregnant women with abnormal glucose metabolism, such as the accumulation of particularly large amounts of fat in the liver. Ultrasound detectors can clearly grasp these changes.

2. Detect multiple risk factors

Research has found that ultrasonic testing technology can detect multiple risk factors in the human body. Among them, the metabolism level of fatty acids and the state of liver tissue are effective indicators for J to distinguish diabetes in pregnancy. By detecting the blood flow of the liver Inferior vena cava and the uterine container, the metabolism of pregnant women can be easily judged.

3. Non traumatic and convenient

Compared to other laboratory examination methods, ultrasonic testing technology is a completely non-invasive and non-invasive examination method that basically does not cause any adverse reactions or discomfort. Therefore, it is very suitable for screening diabetes in pregnancy.

Study on the application of ultrasound scanning technology in screening diabetes in pregnancy

In fact, in the field of gestational diabetes screening, the application of ultrasonic scanning technology has received more attention and research. In recent years, many related studies have shown the application prospect of ultrasound scanning technology in the screening of gestational diabetes.

1. Reduce the incidence of diabetes in pregnancy

Ultrasonic detection technology can detect the glucose metabolism of pregnant women as early as possible, so as to guide the gynecologist to conduct regular screening and monitoring of pregnant women with gestational diabetes, and reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes.

2. Improve the accuracy of diagnosing the condition

Research has found that ultrasound scanning technology can more accurately detect the state of liver, pancreas, and uterine container tissues. The diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes in pregnancy has achieved more accurate results by repeatedly detecting the metabolism and glucose tolerance of pregnant women.

3. High sensitivity and specificity

The study also showed that ultrasound scanning technology has high sensitivity and specificity in screening diabetes in pregnancy. Repeated detection of liver and uterine container tissue can play a better role in the screening and diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy.

conclusion

In general, the application and research of ultrasound scanning technology in the screening of gestational diabetes has always been a hot issue in the medical community. Compared with the traditional laboratory examination, ultrasonic scanning technology is non-invasive, convenient, highly sensitive and accurate, and can achieve better screening and diagnosis of diabetes in pregnancy. However, it is still necessary to continue to carry out large sample, multi center clinical research, further confirm the reliability and usefulness of ultrasound scanning technology in screening diabetes in pregnancy, and provide better diagnosis and treatment services for patients with diabetes in pregnancy.
