Adjustable conformal device for varicocele ultrasonic examination

Abstract

The invention discloses an adjustable conformal device for varicocele ultrasonic examination. The adjustable conformal device comprises a hard fixed shell and a soft sound transmission lining; the hard fixed shell comprises a fixing seat, a first horizontal sliding mechanism, a second horizontal sliding mechanism, an L-shaped supporting plate and an adjustable penis fixing device, and the left side plate, the right side plate and the L-shaped supporting plate define a front-open testis fixing groove; the soft sound transmission lining is of a box structure with the top open and is arranged in the front open type testis fixing groove, the side, facing the front face of the front open type testis fixing groove, of the soft sound transmission lining is made of solid ultrasonic gel sheets, the other side faces and the bottom face of the soft sound transmission lining are made of soft silica gel, and a soft testis containing groove is formed in the center of the bottom face of the soft sound transmission lining. The invention can assist standing-position spermatocord vein ultrasound contrast examination, eliminates free movement of testis due to gravitational attraction caused by body position change at a standing position, passive displacement of the testis due to the fact that a patient needs to hold the penis with hands and make contact with a probe and the like, and improves fixity of an interested area in a contrast image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of imaging examination of varicocele, in particular to an adjustable conformal device for ultrasonic examination of varicocele. Background technique [0002] Varicocele (VC) refers to the obstructed venous return of the spermatic cord, valve failure, blood reflux and blood stasis, resulting in expansion, elongation and bending of the varicocele plexus. Varicocele can affect the production of sperm and the quality of semen and cause infertility. After surgical treatment, some people can restore their fertility. [0003] Ultrasound is the preferred imaging examination for VC. Some studies have shown that the standing position is the best position for ultrasound diagnosis of VC, and it is believed that measuring the inner diameter of the spermatic vein at the level of the head of the epididymis is more accurate than measuring the diameter of the inguinal canal and the tail of the body of the epididymis. Contrast-enhance...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the present invention is that, for the inspection of varicocele, when the linear array probe is used for direct inspection in the standing position, the position of the examinee’s scrotum is easily disturbed by external factors such as probe contact and involuntary activities, which will affect the image. Quality, which causes difficulties in subsequent data analysis and acquisition, proposes an adjustable conformal device for ultrasound examination of varicocele
