Visual carotid plaque ultrasonic self-inspection instrument

Abstract

The invention provides a visual carotid plaque ultrasonic self-inspection instrument and relates to the technical field of medical automation equipment. The instrument specifically comprises at leastone ultrasonic probe for transmitting an ultrasonic signal to the carotid artery of a user and receiving and transmitting a reflected signal; a signal processing module is connected with the ultrasonic probe and used for providing ultrasonic signals for the ultrasonic probe and receiving and processing the reflected signal; a central processing module is connected with the signal processing moduleand a display module, and is used for carrying out image post-processing on the reflected signal to obtain a carotid artery ultrasonic image, carrying out carotid artery plaque identification on thecarotid artery ultrasonic image and outputting an identification result to the display module for real-time display; and a power supply is connected with the signal processing module and the central processing module and used for supplying power. The invention has the beneficial effects that a patient can use the instrument to scan and image plaques on carotid arteries by himself / herself, site limitation is avoided, the instrument is more convenient, examination images are transmitted in a wireless transmission mode, limitation is smaller, and self-examination of the patient is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical automation equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic self-examination instrument for visualizing carotid plaque. Background technique [0002] Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are an important issue affecting human health in the 21st century. As the number one killer threatening human health, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become a global crisis, and now rank first in the cause of death in my country. Preventive monitoring and follow-up work for high-risk groups is an important measure to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But now most patients and the society have insufficient understanding of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially the grassroots patients lack of knowledge about their own health, the harm to the disease and the importance of long-term treatment. Therefore, self-examination of cardiovascular and cereb...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, most of the existing carotid artery ultrasound examination equipment is bulky, so conventional ultrasound scans are performed in hospitals, and patients cannot perform self-examination anytime and anywhere, which is inconvenient
