Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultrasonic device technology, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic device with panoramic detection effect. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound devices are commonly used for human body detection and processing. Currently, ultrasound devices typically use mechanical rotating or phased array working units within the human body's cavities to meet detection requirements. However, both mechanical rotating and phased array working units can only acquire lateral information about the catheter. Furthermore, due to their structural characteristics, there is a large blind zone in the center of the imaging area, which means that the corresponding image information cannot directly guide the use of treatment instruments that require a forward panoramic view.

[0026] This embodiment provides an ultrasound device with panoramic detection capabilities. This ultrasound device enables panoramic detection of the target imaging area, and can acquire image information in front of and to the side of the catheter 10, effectively eliminating blind spots at the center of the imaging area. This provides effective and complete visual field information for therapeutic devices (such as arterial plaque rotational atherectomy devices), which is beneficial for the therapeutic devices to perform stable and precise treatment on the human body.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ultrasound device with panoramic detection effect in this embodiment includes a catheter 10 and a transducer 20. The catheter 10 in this embodiment can rotate and feed during actual use, while the transducer 20 is located inside the catheter 10. During the rotation and feeding of the catheter 10, the device can effectively collect visual field information in front of and to the side of the catheter 10 and transmit the collected image information. An external computer can calculate and reconstruct a complete three-dimensional model of the imaging area in front of the catheter 10 to meet the needs of intraluminal treatment devices.

[0028] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic device with panoramic detection capability further includes a sleeve 30 and a mounting tube 40. The sleeve 30 is located on the outer ring of the conduit 10 and is coaxially arranged with the conduit 10. The sleeve 30 and the conduit 10 are threaded together. Under the direct or indirect drive of the motor, the conduit 10 rotates and simultaneously feeds. The mounting tube 40 is located inside the sleeve 30, and the sleeve 30 and the mounting tube 40 are threaded together. The mounting tube 40 is connected to the conduit 10 (preferably fixedly connected) and moves synchronously with the conduit 10 to ensure the stability of the conduit 10.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the catheter 10 in this embodiment has a through hole 11 at its center, through which materials are introduced. The end of the catheter 10 has a mounting cone 12, which is located at the outlet of the through hole 11. The presence of the through hole 11 on the catheter 10 is beneficial for the installation of the transducer 20 and for the ultrasound device to cooperate with the treatment device in introducing materials during actual use.

[0030] In this embodiment, the angle between the mounting cone 12 and the central axis of the conduit 10 is 30°-60°, so that the emitting surface of the transducer 20 is tilted towards the central axis of the conduit 10. When the conduit 10 rotates and advances, the transducer 20 can simultaneously acquire visual information from the front and sides of the conduit 10, forming a... Figure 4 The scanning area shown eliminates the blind zone in the central region in front of the catheter 10, and the imaging range can cover the entire cross-section of the lumen in front of the catheter 10, improving the completeness of the field of view information acquisition.

[0031] The present invention comprises at least one transducer 20 disposed on the mounting conical surface 12 to obtain information about the front and sides of the duct 10. Preferably, it is combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there is one transducer 20. When the conduit 10 moves forward while rotating, the transducer 20 can collect visual field information in front of and to the side of the conduit 10. In actual use, multiple transducers 20 can be installed to improve the efficiency of visual field information collection.

[0032] In this embodiment, the conduit 10 is provided with a wire groove 13 to guide the wire harness of the transducer 20, and the mounting tube 40 connects the wire harness of the transducer 20. The wire groove 13 is located at the edge of the through hole 11 and is in communication with the through hole 11. With the cooperation of the wire groove 13 and the mounting tube 40, the transducer 20 and its wire harness are stably installed, which is conducive to the transducer 20 transmitting data for information acquisition.

[0033] In this embodiment, the ultrasound device with panoramic detection effect is used in practice by mounting the transducer 20 on the mounting cone surface 12 of the catheter 10. When the catheter 10 rotates and moves forward synchronously, the transducer 20 collects visual field information in front of and to the side of the catheter 10. Its collection range is comprehensive and can effectively eliminate blind spots at the center of the imaging area, thereby providing effective visual field information for the treatment device, which is conducive to the stable and precise treatment of the human body by the treatment device.
