Medical ultrasound scanners are indispensable and important equipment in medical imaging, widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. However, during use, medical ultrasound scanners may encounter various problems. This article will explore common problems and solutions of medical ultrasound scanners.

1、 Poor image quality

Cause analysis:

Probe aging or damage

Too much or too little coupling agent between the probe and the skin

Improper instrument settings

Patient movement or irregular breathing

Solution:

Check if the probe is aging or damaged. If there are any problems, replace the probe in a timely manner

Adjust the coupling dose between the probe and the skin to an appropriate amount

Readjust instrument settings to optimize image quality

Instruct the patient to remain stationary and breathe regularly to obtain clearer images

2、 The instrument cannot start normally

Cause analysis:

Power failure

Internal hardware failure of the instrument

Software malfunction

Incorrect or damaged probe connection

Solution:

Check if the power plug is properly plugged in and if the power cord is damaged

Check if the internal hardware of the instrument is working properly. If there are any problems, contact professional maintenance personnel

Try restarting the instrument to see if it can solve the problem

Check if the probe connection is correct. If there are any issues, replace the probe

3、 Excessive noise

Cause analysis:

Probe malfunction

Internal hardware failure of the instrument

Environmental noise interference

Solution:

Check if the probe is working properly. If there are any issues, replace the probe

Check if the internal hardware of the instrument is working properly. If there are any problems, contact professional maintenance personnel

Adjust the instrument position to stay away from noise sources, such as closing doors and windows, turning off air conditioning, etc

4、 Unable to save image or data loss

Cause analysis:

Storage device failure or insufficient storage space

Data transmission line failure or loose interface

Software failure or system crash

Human error causing data loss or damage

Solution:

Check if the storage device is working properly. If there are any issues, replace the storage device or clean up the storage space

Check if the data transmission cable is working properly. If there are any issues, replace the data transmission cable or unplug the interface again

Try restarting the instrument or reinstalling the software to see if it can solve the problem

For data loss or damage caused by human operational errors, training and operational standards should be strengthened to avoid similar problems from happening again. At the same time, important data can be backed up regularly to prevent unexpected situations from occurring. When backing up, reliable storage devices such as cloud storage or mobile hard drives can be selected. When using, attention should be paid to following the prescribed operating procedures to avoid data damage or loss caused by improper operation. At the same time, attention should also be paid to protecting the privacy rights and information security of patients. When processing patient images and data, it is necessary to comply with relevant laws, regulations, and ethical norms.
