Problems solved by technology

However, the movement of the scanning mirror still needs to be operated by the doctor and is time-consuming
In addition, since there is no structure to support and hold the auxiliary device to prevent it from moving as the scanning mirror slides on the semi-rigid scanning surface, the auxiliary device and the scanning surface on it may be lost during the scanning process. Movement occurs in the center, such movement will affect the image quality and should be avoided as much as possible

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to avoid too many unnecessary details, existing structures or functions will not be described in detail in the following content.

[0012] Approximate language used herein may be used in quantitative terms, indicating that certain variations in quantities are permissible without changing essential function. Accordingly, values ​​modified by language such as "about", "approximately" and the like are not limited to the exact value itself. In some embodiments, "about" means that the corrected value is allowed to vary within the range of plus or minus ten percent (10%), for example, "about 100" means any value between 90 and 110. Furthermore, in the expression "about the first value to the second value", both values ​​of the first value and the second value are corrected approximately at the same time. In some cases, the language of approximation may relate to the precision of the me...

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for ultrasonically scanning the breasts of patients. The device for ultrasonically scanning the breasts of the patients comprises an ultrasonic sensor, a coupling assembly and a support frame. The coupling assembly comprises a rigid frame and a flexible bag, the flexible bag comprises a first portion, a second portion and an inlet, the first portion is opened by the rigid frame to provide a scanning plane, the sensor can rotate on the scanning plane, the second portion is used for accommodating sonic transparent liquid, and can deform so as to cling to the to-be-scanned breasts and press the to-be-scanned breasts, and the inlet is used for leading the sonic transparent liquid into the second portion. The support frame comprises fixing portions and a rotary portion, the fixing portions are connected onto the rigid frame of the coupling assembly, and the rotary portion is rotatably assembled on the fixing portions and is used for supporting the sensor and driving the sensor to rotate on the scanning plane.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an ultrasound scanning device and a method of scanning a breast with the ultrasound scanning device. Background technique [0002] Breast ultrasound scans use the echo signals of high-frequency sound waves from a detector to create images of the breast. During the scan, a transducer sends sound waves through the breast tissue. These sound waves respond differently to different types of breast tissue and send signals back to the transducer. These signals are sent to a computer to create an image of the breast tissue. Ultrasound is generally used as an adjunct to mammograms and physical exams during breast exams to evaluate certain types of abnormalities, such as lumps found on physical exams or on x-rays. It can help determine whether a mass is a benign fluid cyst or a solid lesion that requires further diagnosis. In addition, it can show the entire area of ​​the breast, including the part near the ribcage, w...
