AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional ultrasonic fracture treatment devices face challenges in determining the optimal irradiation position for ultrasonic waves due to the need for X-ray irradiation devices, which require additional preparations, are larger, and expose patients to radiation.

Method used

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that includes an ultrasonic probe, an ultrasonic image generation unit, a simulated ultrasonic image generation unit, an image synthesis unit, and an output unit, which generates and synthesizes ultrasonic images with simulated images to visualize the optimal irradiation position of ultrasonic waves without the need for X-ray devices.

Benefits of technology

The apparatus allows for efficient specification of the optimal irradiation position for ultrasonic waves, improving treatment efficacy while avoiding the drawbacks of X-ray irradiation, such as device size and radiation exposure.
