Ultrasonic scanner

An ultrasound scanner is a medical device that provides images of most soft tissue without subjecting patients to ionizing radiation. In other words, it provides diagnostic images from echoes obtained by emitting ultrasound waves (the most common). A small instrument called a transducer, very similar to a microphone, emits ultrasound waves. These high frequency sound waves are transmitted to the area of the body being studied and their echo is received. The transducer picks up the echo of the sound waves and a computer converts it into an image that appears on a screen.

Ultrasound is a high frequency sound wave (over 20,000 cycles per second or 20 kHz) that is inaudible to humans. Different tissues modify the waves in different ways, some reflecting them directly and others scattering them as echoes before they reach the transducer. Echoes that are reflected deep are more attenuated than surface echoes. When the echoes return to the transducer, a two-dimensional tissue map can be reconstructed.

A high resolution color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic device with a sophisticated computer processing platform. This technique is mainly used to diagnose abdominal, cardiac, peripheral vessel, breast, obstetric and gynecological, small organ, urological, muscle, augmentation, pediatric and other conditions. It uses Doppler ultrasound imaging technology, advanced image processing technology (such as digital beamforming technology, tissue harmonic imaging (THI), image speckle suppression, etc.) and an integrated digital graphic management system, as well as an in-house professional measurement software package to meet the diagnostic needs of the clinic.
