Ultrasonic probe, living body information measuring device, and living body information measuring method

Abstract

In the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, the apex of the heart cannot be clearly imaged, and health information on the heart cannot be accurately obtained. Problems were solved by creating a biometric information measuring device that uses linear detectors to measure apical cardiac images in M-mode, improves data processing devices, establishes algorithms useful for accurate evaluation, and obtains accurate health information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a probe capable of grasping the activity of the heart of a living body, a living body information measuring device and a living body information measuring method capable of grasping the health information of a living body by grasping the movement of the heart of a living body, and particularly relates to a method capable of using ultrasonic diagnosis. A biometric information measurement device, a biometric information measurement system, and a biometric information measurement method used in them to measure an apex beat map by using an ultrasonic probe of the device, and to accurately display the health information of a living body. Background technique [0002] Currently, diseases of the circulatory system are increasing, and the whole world is required to overcome them. Examples of diseases of the circulatory system include congenital heart disease, hypertension, hypertensive heart disease, acute myocardial infarction...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Figure 16 In the case of the measurement of the apex of the device, the measured organism must enter a soundproof room or a measurement room with less noise according to this, and the measurement is performed in a restricted room such as a soundproof and secret room, so there is a There are problems such as the following problems: the measurement of the organism to be measured is in a state different from the usual state, which is unnecessarily stressful, and the organism to be measured is limited to people who can withstand the measurement of entering such an environment, and it cannot be used for real needs. Determination of patients with diagnosis of apical cardiogram

[0009] However, ultrasonic diagnostic equipment is not made from the viewpoint of measuring apical cardiograms. It captures heart activity, valve activity, blood flow, etc. as moving images, and specialists observe them to diagnose whether they are normal or diseased.

According to this measurement, it is possible to judge the activity of the ventricle, the normality / abnormality of the aortic valve and the mitral valve, the degree of stenosis, the valve area, the presence or absence of bacterial warts attached to the valve, the presence or absence of pericardial fluid accumulation, and the presence or absence of blood. Information on reflux, its degree, and the presence or absence of congenital abnormalities, but the activity of the left ventricular apex was not evaluated through the chest wall, and such information obtained by palpation could not be objectively obtained

That is, there has been no measuring device of practical grade so far, so the measurement data of the apexcardiogram useful for diagnosis is insufficient, and the technique of diagnosing circulatory system diseases based on the measurement data of the apexcardiogram has not been established, and it has become impossible in the medical field. Condition of use

In addition, as for measuring instruments that can objectively display the activity of the left ventricle (hereinafter also referred to as the left ventricle) obtained by palpation, other than the devices described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 based on the proposal of the present inventors, the The use of the practice has not yet been established
