Subcutaneous fat thickness measuring instrument based on ultrasound
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of instruments using ultrasonic measurement human body subcutaneous fat thickness, belong to fat thickness measurement instrument
Device field.
Background technique
With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, fat and its caused disease is increasingly by people's weight
It often occurs together a variety of chronic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver, blood fat disorder, hypertension, coronary heart disease depending on, obesity, is to seriously affect
One of health of people and the disease of quality of life, it has also become the serious public health problem that countries in the world face.At home, traditional
Dietary structure change, fat or Overweight people ratio constantly rises, and population problem of obesity is got worse.
Subcutaneous fat accounts for the 40-60% of the total fat of body, thus detects subcutaneous fat thickness and can reflect body parts
Fat Distribution.Human body measurement technology can be used for measuring weight, constitutional index (BMI), skinfold and girth.Skin wrinkle meter is
A method of cheap, noninvasively estimating subcutaneous fat thickness.But it is difficult to determine point of fat and muscle when being measured with Skin wrinkle meter
Interface, and have feeling of pain.Bio-electrical impedance measuring method is influenced more apparent by internal water content.Near infrared light mensuration letter
It is single, easy to operate, but since near infrared light penetration capacity is limited, for thicker subcutaneous fat, its accuracy of measurement needs to be mentioned
It is high.
Clinically, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), Dual energy X ray absorptiometry (DEXA),
Ultrasonic imaging technique can more accurately measure adipose tissue thickness, but equipment volume is larger, expensive.Operator needs
To pass through professional training.CT and DEXA method is also by the harm of ray.
CN104068896 patent proposes a kind of right triangle three and receives ultrasonic subcutaneous fat measuring device, belongs to multiple spot
Receive measurement of the ultrasonic device to human body subcutaneous fat.Based on an arc shell, by issuing one at right angled triangle mass center
The ultrasonic wave of a 9.3MHz, three vertex of right angled triangle receive transmitting echo-signal respectively, transfer signals to signal electricity
Differentiation processing is carried out on the plate of road, obtains the subcutaneous fat thickness at mass center.
Based on background above technology, the present invention devises the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring instrument based on A-mode ultrasonic wave, equipment body
Product is small, can be portable.Can be convenient, fast, the subcutaneous fat thickness of non-invasive measurement body any part.
Summary of the invention
For the deficiency of existing fats measurement technology, the present invention provides a kind of using ultrasonic measurement subcutaneous fat thickness
Instrument can measure the subcutaneous fat thickness of body any part, may further can describe or record body by designing program
Body subcutaneous fat distribution map and trend chart.
