What can B-ultrasound check?

1. Cardiac color Doppler ultrasound examination: This examination can help doctors detect your heart problems in time. By dynamically displaying the structure within the heart cavity, heart beats and blood flow, various heart diseases and cardiomyopathies can be discovered. This is especially important for middle-aged people with heart problems and family histories.

Middle-aged people are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as chronic myocardial hypoxia, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, sudden death, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral softening. These diseases pose the greatest threat to the health and life of middle-aged people. Therefore, pay attention to check the relevant items.

2. Pelvic B-ultrasound: Check for uterine tumors, endometriosis, uterine malformations, ovarian tumors, pelvic inflammatory masses or abscesses, etc.

3. Breast color ultrasound examination: Breast color ultrasound examination can show the internal structure of breast tumors more clearly than infrared breast ultrasound, observe the relationship between the tumor and surrounding tissues, and can observe the size, shape and edge of the lesion. At the same time, it can better observe the number and distribution of blood vessels inside and outside the tumor. It is an important and convenient means of early diagnosis of breast cancer.

4. Thyroid ultrasound examination: This examination can measure the size and volume of the thyroid gland, and help differentiate between simple, nodular, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, thyroid tumors (adenomas, cysts, thyroid cancer), parathyroid hyperplasia, cysts, adenomas, and parathyroid cancer.

5. Carotid artery ultrasound: This examination is one of the effective means to diagnose and evaluate carotid artery wall lesions. It plays a key role in the epidemiological survey of atherosclerosis and the effectiveness evaluation of atherosclerosis prevention and treatment trials. It is a non-invasive, simple and reproducible method.

6. Ultrasonic bone density testing: Advanced ultrasonic bone densitometers make it possible for children and pregnant women to safely undergo bone density testing. The bone densitometers used previously utilized the principle of X-ray transmission, which posed a certain risk to people's health, especially to children and pregnant women, who were not suitable for examination. Pregnant women and children are in great need of calcium supplementation based on the results of bone density measurement. Now they can use ultrasound bone densitometer to check bone density.
