Ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus for a urinary bladder and the method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus and method for the urinary bladder. The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus has a preliminary scan mode and a scan mode. The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus first operates in the preliminary scan mode and operates in the scan mode after accurately detecting the location of the urinary bladder, thus measuring the amount of urine in the urinary bladder. When operating in the preliminary scan mode, the ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus receives pieces of ultrasonic information of n scan lines for a single plane, and acquires and displays an image for a corresponding plane using the pieces of received ultrasonic information. When operating in the scan mode, the ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus sequentially receives pieces of ultrasonic information of n scan lines for each of m planes from a transducer, and calculates the amount of urine in the urinary bladder using the pieces of received ultrasonic information. The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus according to the present invention operates in the preliminary scan mode, so that the location of the urinary bladder can be quickly and accurately detected, therefore the amount of urine in the urinary bladder also can be quickly and accurately detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention mainly relates to a portable bladder ultrasonic diagnostic instrument and the ultrasonic diagnostic method using the instrument, in particular to a portable and small ultrasonic diagnostic instrument with a pre-scanning mode and a scanning mode, so it can not only quickly and accurately detect the position of the bladder , can also automatically measure the amount of urine in the bladder, and an ultrasonic diagnostic method using the instrument to measure the amount of urine in the bladder. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, the ultrasonic system is a method that uses the piezoelectric effect of the transducer to transmit ultrasonic signals to the object to be detected, receives the ultrasonic signals reflected from the discontinuous plane of the object, and converts the received ultrasonic signals into electrical signals. , and output the electrical signal to a predetermined display device, so as to be able to dete...

Problems solved by technology

However, the dedicated ultrasound device based on the second method also has drawbacks in that the urine volume is mainly calculated using two kinds of ultrasound images respectively about the vertical plane and the horizontal plane of the bladder, and the user has to find and select the area marked with the optimal size to calculate the urine volume.
