Description

A Remote Ultrasonic Diagnosis System

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a remote ultrasonic diagnosis system, which can be used for remote ultrasonic consultation and teaching guidance.

Background technique

In recent years, the government's investment in ultrasonic diagnostic equipment in grassroots health institutions has increased significantly. In contrast, the training of ultrasonic diagnostic professionals is relatively lagging behind. The current situation is that there is a serious shortage of ultrasound diagnosis professionals in grassroots health institutions, especially the lack of experienced ultrasound diagnosis physicians. At the same time, the ultrasound examination items are limited, and medical disputes related to ultrasound diagnosis occur from time to time. There are many patients whose problems can be completely solved only by examinations in primary health institutions. Instead, they go to "large hospitals" to queue up for ultrasound examinations. The workload of ultrasound examinations in primary medical institutions is insufficient, resulting in a waste of medical resources.

In view of the above situation, the solution of primary health institutions is mainly by hiring ultrasound experts from "large hospitals" as consultants or setting up expert consultation days. Some "large hospitals" with better conditions have established ultrasound consultation centers through the Internet. However, the current ultrasound expert consultation method and remote consultation center have the following deficiencies and shortcomings:

1. The workload of the ultrasonic diagnostic department of "large hospitals" is seriously overloaded, and the work of ultrasonic experts is often overwhelmed. Going out for consultation will inevitably affect their own work; even if they can spare time, they can only use limited time to take care of a few grassroots health institutions;

2. The existing ultrasound consultation centers established through the Internet are not suitable for grassroots health institutions, because most grassroots health institutions do not have the conditions to upload ultrasound images through the Internet.

3. Because ultrasound images have the characteristics of real-time imaging; and only show a partial section of the human body, and the surrounding structures lack a good overall reference, static ultrasound images transmitted through the Internet often cannot meet the diagnostic requirements, such as the display of the heart, only through real-time Dynamic images can clearly observe the closing and opening of biological valves such as mitral valve and tricuspid valve. Even if the ultrasound images transmitted through the Internet are real-time dynamic images, if the position and direction of the probe during the ultrasound scan are not marked simultaneously, it is still difficult to determine what organ and section the image represents; even when the ultrasound scan is marked synchronously Depending on the position and direction of the probe, but due to changes in the scanning angle, different images may also be displayed, resulting in misinterpretation of diagnostic information.
