Description

Ultrasound intelligent scanning device and ultrasonic wearable device having the same

technical field

The invention belongs to the field of medical ultrasonic diagnostic imaging, in particular to an ultrasonic intelligent scanning device.

Background technique

Ultrasound scanning equipment is a medical device manufactured based on the principle of ultrasound. It is used in conjunction with an ultrasound machine to transmit and receive ultrasound during the ultrasonic inspection process.

Ultrasound scanning equipment scans human tissue through an ultrasound probe to form an ultrasound image for medical staff to identify, and then use the image to make pathological diagnosis for doctors and patients; the head and carotid arteries of human tissue are the most difficult parts of human tissue to scan. part, in the prior art, the scanning of the tissue at this place is controlled by the doctor with the ultrasonic scanning equipment, that is, the doctor holds the scanning equipment to scan the human tissue. The image information obtained from each scan of the same human tissue is different, and the scan image is not stable, which is difficult to combine with artificial intelligence; in addition, the scan speed of the doctor's hand-held scanning equipment is very slow, and it is difficult for each patient.
