Ultrasonic scanner is a non-invasive detection device widely used in the medical field, which obtains structural information inside the human body through the reflection and propagation of high-frequency sound waves. With the continuous development of medical technology, ultrasound scanners have been widely used in multiple departments such as internal medicine, surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology, providing doctors with more accurate and intuitive diagnostic basis. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the application of ultrasound scanners in various medical fields.

2、 Internal Medicine Applications

In the field of internal medicine, ultrasound scanners are mainly used for diagnosis of various aspects such as the cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system, etc.

Cardiovascular system: Ultrasound scanners can be used to evaluate the structure and function of the heart, detect diseases such as heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart disease. Among them, electrocardiographic echocardiography (Echo) is a commonly used examination method that can provide detailed information on cardiac systolic and diastolic function, as well as cardiac chamber size.

Digestive system: Ultrasound scanners can be used to diagnose diseases of organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, etc., such as fatty liver, gallbladder stones, pancreatitis, etc. By evaluating the morphology, echo intensity, and blood flow status of these organs, doctors can accurately diagnose the condition.

Respiratory system: Ultrasound scanners can be used to evaluate lung and thoracic lesions, such as pneumonia, lung cancer, pleural effusion, etc. By observing the location and volume of pleural effusion, as well as the thickness and echo intensity of the lungs, doctors can diagnose these diseases.

3、 Surgical applications

In the field of surgery, ultrasound scanners are mainly used for preoperative evaluation and postoperative monitoring.

Preoperative evaluation: Ultrasound scanners can be used to evaluate the location, size, and adjacent relationship with surrounding tissues of lesions, providing important basis for the formulation of surgical plans. For example, before liver surgery, doctors can use ultrasound scanners to understand the size, shape, location, quantity, and other information of the liver.

Postoperative monitoring: Ultrasound scanners can be used to monitor the recovery of patients after surgery, detect complications or abnormalities in a timely manner, and take corresponding treatment measures. For example, after cholecystectomy, doctors can monitor the healing of the gallbladder bed and whether there are complications such as bile leakage using an ultrasound scanner.

4、 Obstetrics and Gynecology Applications

In the field of obstetrics and gynecology, ultrasound scanners are mainly used for gynecological diseases and prenatal examinations.

Gynecological diseases: Ultrasound scanners can be used to diagnose gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and pelvic inflammatory disease. By observing the shape, size, and echogenicity of the uterus and ovaries, doctors can diagnose and treat these diseases.

Pregnancy examination: Ultrasound scanner is an important tool for prenatal examination, which can observe the growth and development of the fetus, evaluate indicators such as fetal position, placental position, and amniotic fluid volume. By conducting regular prenatal ultrasound examinations, doctors can promptly identify fetal developmental abnormalities or potential risk factors, and take corresponding treatment measures.

5、 Summary

The application of ultrasound scanners in multiple departments such as internal medicine, surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology has demonstrated their important clinical value. Through continuous development and innovation, ultrasound technology will continue to bring more convenience and breakthroughs to the medical field. However, it should be noted that although ultrasound scanners have advantages such as non-invasive, painless, and real-time, they still need to be comprehensively analyzed based on the patient's clinical manifestations and other examination results to ensure the accuracy of diagnosis. At the same time, doctors also need to constantly learn and master new ultrasound techniques to better serve patients.
