Vascular disease is a common disease, including atherosclerosis, aneurysm, varicose veins and so on. These diseases seriously affect people's quality of life and health status. In the past few decades, significant progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases in the medical field. As a non-invasive and radiation free diagnostic tool, medical ultrasound scanners have played an important role in the research and treatment of vascular diseases. This article will introduce the research progress of medical ultrasound scanners in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases.

1、 The application of ultrasound scanner in the diagnosis of vascular diseases

Ultrasonic scanner is a device that uses ultrasound technology to image human blood vessels, and it has important applications in the diagnosis of vascular diseases.

Firstly, ultrasound scanners can diagnose vascular diseases by detecting blood flow in blood vessels. Through the echo signal of ultrasound, the velocity and direction of blood flow inside the blood vessels can be observed in real-time, thereby determining whether there is stenosis, blockage, or other abnormal conditions in the blood vessels. This non-invasive detection method is very safe for patients and can provide accurate diagnostic results.

Secondly, ultrasound scanners can be used to evaluate the structure and function of blood vessel walls. Through ultrasound imaging, doctors can clearly observe information such as the inner diameter, thickness, and lumen shape of blood vessels, thereby determining their health status. In addition, ultrasound can also be used to detect functional parameters such as elasticity and hardness of blood vessel walls, helping doctors evaluate the functional status of blood vessels.

Finally, ultrasound scanners can help doctors locate the location and extent of vascular lesions. With the guidance of ultrasound, doctors can accurately determine the location and extent of vascular lesions, thus providing targeted treatment. This high-precision positioning capability significantly improves the treatment effect while reducing the risk of surgery.

2、 Application of ultrasound scanner in the treatment of vascular diseases

In addition to being widely used in the diagnosis of vascular diseases, ultrasound scanners also play an important role in the treatment of vascular diseases.

Firstly, ultrasound scanners can be used to guide the interventional treatment of vascular diseases. Interventional therapy is a method of treating vascular lesions through intravascular catheterization. During this process, doctors need to accurately locate the lesion site and perform the procedure. Ultrasound scanners can provide high-resolution images, ensuring that doctors can perform operations accurately and avoid damaging other normal blood vessels.

Secondly, ultrasound scanners can be used to monitor the therapeutic effectiveness of vascular diseases. During the treatment process, doctors can observe the changes inside the blood vessels in real-time through ultrasound scanners to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. This real-time monitoring function can help doctors adjust treatment plans and ensure maximum treatment effectiveness.

Finally, ultrasound scanners can also be used for drug release in vascular diseases. Some vascular diseases require medication for treatment, and ultrasound scanners can serve as a drug delivery system to introduce drugs into the blood vessels and monitor drug release in real-time. This approach can improve the effectiveness of drugs and reduce their side effects.

Conclusion:

As a non-invasive and accurate medical device, medical ultrasound scanners are of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. It can help doctors accurately determine the location and extent of vascular lesions, evaluate the structure and function of blood vessels, guide interventional treatment, and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. In the future, with the further development and innovation of ultrasound technology, it is believed that medical ultrasound scanners will play a more important role in the research and treatment of vascular diseases.
