They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0026] The present embodiment provides an ultrasound device with a panoramic detection effect. The ultrasound device with a panoramic detection effect realizes panoramic detection of the target imaging area, can obtain image information in front of and to the sides of the catheter 10, and effectively eliminates the blind spot at the center of the imaging area, thereby providing effective and complete field of view information for therapeutic equipment (such as an arterial plaque grinding device), which is conducive to the therapeutic equipment to perform stable and precise treatment of the human body.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ultrasonic device with panoramic detection effect of this embodiment includes a catheter 10 and a transducer 20. The catheter 10 of this embodiment can rotate and feed in actual use, and the transducer 20 is located in the catheter 10. During the rotation and feeding of the catheter 10, the field of view information in front and on the side of the catheter 10 can be effectively collected, and the collected image information can be transmitted. A complete three-dimensional model image of the imaging area in front of the catheter 10 can be calculated and reconstructed through an external computer to meet the needs of intraluminal therapeutic devices.

[0028] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic device with panoramic detection effect also includes a sleeve 30 and a mounting tube 40. The sleeve 30 is located on the outer ring of the catheter 10 and is coaxially arranged with the catheter 10. The sleeve 30 and the catheter 10 are threadedly matched. When the motor directly or indirectly drives the catheter 10, the catheter 10 rotates and feeds at the same time. The mounting tube 40 is located in the sleeve 30, and the sleeve 30 and the mounting tube 40 are threadedly matched. The mounting tube 40 is connected to the catheter 10 (preferably fixedly connected), and moves synchronously with the catheter 10 to ensure the stability of the catheter 10.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a through hole 11 is provided at the center of the catheter 10 of this embodiment, and materials are introduced through the through hole 11. A mounting cone 12 is provided at the end of the catheter 10, and the mounting cone 12 is located at the exit position of the through hole 11. The presence of the through hole 11 on the catheter 10 is conducive to the installation of the transducer 20 and is conducive to the ultrasonic device to cooperate with the therapeutic equipment to introduce materials in actual use.

[0030] In this embodiment, the angle between the mounting cone 12 and the central axis of the catheter 10 is 30°-60°, so that the emitting surface of the transducer 20 is inclined toward the central axis of the catheter 10. When the catheter 10 rotates forward, the transducer 20 can simultaneously collect the visual field information of the front and side of the catheter 10, forming a Figure 4 The scanning area shown eliminates the blind spot in the central area in front of the catheter 10, and the imaging range can cover the entire lumen cross-section in front of the catheter 10, thereby improving the completeness of the field of view information collection.

[0031] The number of the transducer 20 of the present invention is at least one and is arranged on the mounting cone 12 to obtain information in front of and to the side of the catheter 10. Preferably, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of transducers 20 in this embodiment is one. When the catheter 10 moves forward during rotation, the transducer 20 can collect visual field information in front and on the sides of the catheter 10. In actual use, multiple transducers 20 can be installed to improve the efficiency of visual field information collection.

[0032] In this embodiment, a wire groove 13 is provided in the catheter 10 to guide the wiring harness of the transducer 20, and the mounting tube 40 connects the wiring harness of the transducer 20. The wire groove 13 is located at the edge of the through hole 11 and is connected to the through hole 11. With the cooperation of the wire groove 13 and the mounting tube 40, the transducer 20 and its wiring harness are stably installed, and the transducer 20 is facilitated to transmit data for information collection.

[0033] In actual use of the ultrasound device with panoramic detection effect of this embodiment, the transducer 20 is installed on the mounting cone 12 of the catheter 10. When the catheter 10 rotates and moves forward synchronously, the transducer 20 collects field of view information in front and on the sides of the catheter 10. The collection range is comprehensive and can effectively eliminate the blind spot at the center of the imaging area, thereby providing effective field of view information for the therapeutic device, which is conducive to the therapeutic device to perform stable and accurate treatment on the human body.
