As we all know, there are facilities in hospitals that specifically use ultrasound to assist doctors in diagnosing patients. But do you have such a question? There are so many devices that can assist in medical diagnosis. Why is it that the ultrasound device is competent? And in which fields has it mainly made contributions?
The ultrasonic equipment can make such a contribution in medical diagnosis mainly because it can obtain the characteristic information of tissues by analyzing the distribution of echo amplitudes. The accuracy of diagnosing diseases is extremely high and painless.
In addition, ultrasonic equipment is mainly applied in the following fields: 1. Superficial tissue detection within organs: such as the exploration of internal structures like the eyes, thyroid gland, and breast, as well as the measurement of their alignment.
2. Detection in obstetrics and gynecology: It can display the fetal head, fetal body, fetal position, fetal heart rate, placenta, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, hydatidiform mole, anencephaly, pelvic mass, etc. It can also estimate the gestational age based on the size of the fetal head.
3. Detection of the Outlines and internal structures of internal organs in the human body: such as the shapes and internal structures of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, pancreas and bladder, etc. Distinguish the nature of the mass. For instance, invasive lesions often have no boundary echo or the edge is not airtight. If the mass has a membrane, its boundary has an echo and appears smooth. It can also display dynamic organs, such as the movement of heart valves, etc.
Ultrasonic equipment is truly a wonderful thing. Its invention and application have brought us a lot of convenience in life.
