In the development of contemporary medical technology, medical ultrasound scanners play an important role in diagnosing cranial diseases due to their non-invasive, radiation free, and real-time characteristics. With the continuous progress of ultrasound technology, medical ultrasound scanners have been widely used in various aspects such as detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of head diseases. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the application of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of cranial diseases.

1、 Introduction to Ultrasonic Scanning Technology

Ultrasonic is a kind of Mechanical wave, which has the characteristics of high frequency, high-speed propagation and strong penetration. Medical ultrasound scanning technology utilizes the reflection, scattering, and conduction characteristics of ultrasound and human tissues to convert the obtained signals into images through electronic instruments, in order to achieve detection and diagnosis of human tissues and organs.

2、 The application of medical ultrasound scanner in the diagnosis of cranial diseases

1. Cerebrovascular disease diagnosis: medical ultrasonic scanner can monitor cerebral hemodynamic parameters, such as blood flow velocity, blood flow resistance index, etc., through ultrasonic Doppler imaging to help diagnose and evaluate Cerebrovascular disease, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. Moreover, ultrasound can also be used to detect and locate Stenosis, embolism and other abnormalities.

2. Brain tumor detection: Medical ultrasound scanners can detect tumors in the skull, such as meningiomas and intraventricular tumors, through ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound imaging technology can provide important information such as the shape, size, and location of tumors, helping doctors carry out targeted treatment.

3. Diagnosis of intracranial injury: Ultrasound is agile and lightweight, which can quickly check the condition of skull injury in emergency situations, such as skull fractures, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. In addition, ultrasound can also detect the formation of lesions such as intracranial hematoma and brain edema, providing important reference for timely treatment.

4. Pediatric brain examination: The non-invasive and safe nature of medical ultrasound scanners makes them the preferred choice for examination of pediatric head diseases. During infancy, the baby's skull and cranial sutures are not yet fully closed, and ultrasound can be used to image the baby's brain development, intracranial lesions, and abnormalities.

3、 Advantages and limitations of medical ultrasound scanners

1. Advantages:

a. Non invasive: Ultrasound scanning does not need to penetrate the patient's body, which can reduce the patient's pain and infection risk.

b. No radiation: Compared to medical imaging technologies such as X-ray and CT, ultrasound scanning has no radiation and is safer for medical staff and patients.

c. Real time: Ultrasound imaging can almost observe the dynamic changes of organs and tissues in real time, helping doctors make rapid and accurate diagnoses.

2. Limitations:

a. Limited by imaging depth: Ultrasound imaging depth is relatively shallow, which has certain limitations for detecting deep lesions.

b. Relying on patient cooperation: Ultrasound scanning requires patient cooperation, which may cause difficulties for young children, critically ill patients, or patients who cannot cooperate.

Medical ultrasound scanners have a wide range of applications and significant advantages in the diagnosis of cranial diseases. Through ultrasound technology, doctors can observe and evaluate cranial diseases in a non-invasive and real-time manner, providing important diagnostic basis and formulating accurate treatment plans for patients. With the continuous progress and innovation of ultrasound technology, the application prospects of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis of head diseases will be even broader.
