What diseases can color ultrasound check

What diseases can color ultrasound check?

Color ultrasound examination is a relatively routine examination in recent years. Many people are not unfamiliar with color ultrasound, but it is not understood enough, it is generally believed that color ultrasound can only check some small problems, for some major diseases of the body can not be completely checked out, but in fact, the current color ultrasound can help check the upper abdomen, prostate, thyroid, carotid artery, bladder, heart, pelvic cavity, etc. It can help judge vascular diseases, heart function, organ diseases, gynecological diseases and fetal diseases.

What is color Ultrasound?

Color Doppler ultrasound generally uses autocorrelation technology for Doppler signal processing, and the blood flow signal obtained by autocorrelation technology is encoded by color portable color ultrasound and then superimposed on the two-dimensional image in real time, that is, the color Doppler ultrasound blood flow image is formed. It can be seen that color Doppler ultrasound (color ultrasound) not only has the advantages of two-dimensional ultrasonic structure images, but also provides rich information of hemodynamics. Practical application has been widely valued and welcomed, and is known as "non-traumatic angiography" in clinical practice.

What can color ultrasound check? What results are provided?

1.       Carotid artery color ultrasound

Carotid color ultrasound can show the situation in the blood vessels, such as whether there is thickening, whether there is plaque formation, the size and location of plaque formation, etc. Besides, it can be correctly positioned through examination and analyze the results of arterial blood flow dynamics. Carotid color ultrasound can detect the existence of early vascular plaques and atherosclerotic lesions, so that patients can intervene in time when they find problems. Avoid causing more serious problems.

2.       thyroid color ultrasound

Thyroid is the largest endocrine gland in the body. The incidence of thyroid cancer has been increasing in our country in recent years. However, color Doppler ultrasound can know the distribution of thyroid blood flow and can judge tumor. In addition, thyroid nodules can be graded to provide an effective basis for clinical diagnosis through examination.

3.       Pelvic color ultrasound

Gynecological examination pelvic color ultrasound is an essential examination method, can check the female uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and judge the disease. At present, uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, ovarian cysts, etc. are relatively common gynecological diseases, and pelvic color ultrasound can be found, when there is a tumor in the uterine annex, the size and position of the tumor can be judged according to the blood flow situation of the tumor.

4.       Cardiac color ultrasound

For some people with cardiac discomfort or a family history of heart disease, heart color Doppler ultrasound can help them find out whether there is a heart problem, so that they can have a good grasp of their heart health, through the heart color Doppler ultrasound can show the blood flow of the heart and the structure of the heart, so as to help check a variety of heart diseases.

5.       Breast color ultrasound

There are not many women with breast disease and breast cancer in these years, so regular color ultrasound can help check the breast, can observe whether there are lesions in the breast, can observe the structure and blood vessels of the breast, and can also help observe the situation of the tissues around the breast.
