Description
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and a method of controlling an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus using the ultrasonic probe, which comprises an ultrasonic probe, The present invention relates to an ultrasonic wave-containing ultrasound probe capable of using a probe and an ultrasound-mediating substance in an ultrasonic treatment without changing the tool with one hand, thereby improving the therapeutic effect and stability of the ultrasound- .
Ultrasound is one of the physical therapies frequently used in physical therapy rooms, but it is also widely used in dermatology, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology.
In particular, ultrasound therapy during physical therapy is used to treat pain such as muscle aches, sprains, poor circulation, and muscle damage. This ultrasound therapy is a principle that stimulates the large sensory nerve fibers so that the pain transmitted to the small sensory nerve fibers can no longer be detected. In this case, ultrasound removes deep scar tissues and stimulates new connective tissue cells. By doing this, the cells are created in a balanced way, resilient and make the new tissue even more flexible. Ultrasound also chemically changes the permeability of the vascular membrane. Increased permeability promotes absorption and excretion, cell waste is eliminated, and cell nutrients are more efficiently absorbed.
Ultrasound is a type of sound wave that has the form of a longitudinal wave and must be used to transfer energy. Sound waves exhibit the characteristics of compression and rarefaction through a vibrating medium. Electromagnetic waves can be transmitted even under vacuum conditions such as space, but sound waves require mediators for transmission. In the case of ultrasonic waves, if there is air between the ultrasonic head and the contact surface of the skin, attenuation occurs and the sound waves are not transmitted to the human body. At the interface between the air and the skin, ultrasound almost always reflects at the interface between the skin and the energy transmission is not easy. Therefore, an ultrasound transmission medium such as a gel is required between the ultrasonic probe (head) and the body contact surface.
Ultrasonic transmission gels, mineral oils, and ultrasonic lotions are used as ultrasound transmission mediators. Ultrasonic gels are widely used mediators.
Since most of the components of the ultrasound gel are made of water, the gel is applied to the skin, and after the treatment is started, the ultrasound gel (Head) or a treatment site frequently. If the gel is not applied frequently, the skin contact surface of the ultrasonic probe may become hot, causing a burn to the skin of the patient, and the crystal used as the oscillator in the ultrasonic probe may be damaged. In addition, a commercially available ultrasound gel is mainly contained in a 250 ml container. The therapist has the trouble of shaking and squeezing the container every time the gel is lacking on the contact surface of the patient's treatment area.
Therefore, an ultrasonic probe in which an ultrasonic probe and an ultrasonic wave mediator are integrated is desired.
As a prior art, there is a case-type gel pad of an ultrasonic probe of Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0118864. The case-type gel pad of the present invention is a case-shaped case which is open at one end to be inserted into an ultrasonic probe.
However, in the case of using various patients, it is expensive to disposable according to each patient in use, and ultrasound-specific gel is used for ultrasound-transmitting gel itself according to the curing agent used for curing the ultrasound- May be different.
Therefore, the present invention provides an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising an ultrasonic probe having a mediating substance accommodating portion inside thereof, an ultrasonic transmission medium in the mediating substance accommodating portion, a discharge hole at one side of the skin contact surface of the ultrasonic probe, And the ultrasonic wave transmission medium is discharged by the ultrasonic wave transmission medium.
