[0002] Medical imaging refers to the technology and process of obtaining images of internal tissues of the human body or a part of the human body in a non-invasive manner for medical treatment or medical research. It includes the following two relatively independent research directions: medical imaging systems and medical image processing. The former refers to the process of image formation, including the study of imaging mechanisms, imaging equipment, imaging system analysis and other issues. The latter refers to further processing of the acquired images, the purpose of which is either to restore the original unclear image, or to highlight certain feature information in the image, or to classify the image into patterns, etc. Existing medical image acquisition equipment includes the following four categories: X-ray machines, CT equipment, magnetic resonance imaging systems and ultrasonic imaging equipment;

[0003] Existing ultrasonic imaging detection equipment requires a coupling agent to be applied to the ultrasonic probe or the patient's skin when in use. After the coupling agent is used, a certain amount of gel will remain on the probe. The coupling agent can only be simply wiped off with paper. The residual bacteria on the probe may cause cross-infection between patients.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure and defects are studied and improved, and a cleaning and disinfecting device for an ultrasonic probe is provided, in order to achieve a purpose with greater practical value. Utility Model Content
