AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing ultrasound examinations of breast tissue, rigid plastic plates and mesh can easily damage the skin, while hydrogel coupling pads are difficult to preserve, prone to water loss, have poor strength, and cannot be reused, resulting in high examination costs, unclear images, and difficulties in fixation.

Method used

Ultrasonic coupling pads made of mineral oil-filled rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, or soft plastic materials, combined with a support layer, possess excellent acoustic performance and strength, are highly adaptable, and can be stored and reused in low-temperature environments.

Benefits of technology

It achieves stability during storage and transportation in low-temperature environments, reduces storage and transportation costs, improves the applicability and reusability of the test, has good acoustic performance and strength, and reduces usage costs.

Abstract

Provided is an ultrasonic coupling pad of a mammary gland probe, which comprises a coupling pad body capable of covering the mammary gland of a human body, wherein the coupling pad body is made of a rubber or thermoplastic elastomer or soft plastic material filled with mineral oil. The present invention has the following beneficial effects: since a manner of the rubber or thermoplastic elastomer or soft plastic combined with the mineral oil is used, the made coupling pad not only has good acoustic performance, but also has wider application scenarios, with the use costs reduced.
