Glove-type ultrasonic probe

Abstract

The invention discloses a glove-type ultrasonic probe. The glove-type ultrasonic probe consists of a glove body, ultrasonic transducer assemblies and data transmission lines; the glove body comprises fingers, a palm and a wrist; the fingers comprise a thumb, an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger and a little finger; an ultrasonic transducer assembly is arranged at the fingertip position of each of the thumb and the index finger; the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger are all half-fingers. According to the glove-type ultrasonic probe, the ultrasonic transducer assemblies have the advantages of flexibility, lightness and thinness; good coupling between the probe and an examined part can be realized by only relying on slight fingertip force; the glove-type ultrasonic probe can be used for ultrasonic examination of any complex curve surface and space limited part; the application range of the ultrasonic probe is greatly widened. The glove-type ultrasonic probe is convenient to wear and easy to operate; clinical palpation and ultrasonic detection can be performed simultaneously by a doctor; operating steps are simplified, and meanwhile, the misdiagnosis rate and the missed diagnosis rate are greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a glove type ultrasonic probe, in particular to a medical ultrasonic probe suitable for clinical palpation. Background technique [0002] Palpation, also known as press examination, is one of the most commonly used non-invasive physical examination methods in hospitals. It is the physical characteristics of the body surface (skin and subcutaneous tissue, etc.) and organs (heart, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, uterus, etc.) obtained and understood by doctors by touching, touching, pressing, and pressing the body surface with fingers. It is a diagnostic method to distinguish the temperature, coolness, softness, hardness, moistness, dryness, swelling, mass and the patient's response to pressing, such as pain, fondness for pressing, refusal to press, etc., and then infer the location and nature of the disease. Palpation is an easy-to-operate inspection method, but it can sometimes achieve inspection results that are difficult to ach...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, due to the limitation of the appearance of the ultrasound probe (still limited to hand-held), doctors cannot complete the ultrasound examination at the same time when performing palpation, especially when two hands are required to operate at the same time

And because in most hospitals, palpation and ultrasonography belong to different departments, the whole examination process is not only cumbersome, but also does not fully reflect the advantages of combining the two examinations
