- the treatment is performed on the living body while visually confirming the place where the transmission / reception unit 2a is brought into contact, it is possible to identify a place with less bleeding without using an ultrasonic observation apparatus.
- the blood-flow detection apparatus of this embodiment may be further equipped with the structure which notifies a user of the change of blood-flow information by the change of auditory information and tactile information.
- the probe unit 2 is described as a configuration in which only the probe unit 2 is configured to be able to project and retract into the living body via the duct 51 of the endoscope 50. 2 may be configured as a part of a treatment tool for performing treatment on a living body.
- the tenth embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment only in the configuration of the probe unit. Therefore, only this difference will be described below, and the same components as those in the eighth embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
- the probe unit 2 of the present embodiment is provided at the distal end portion of a treatment instrument 70 that can be inserted into the duct 51 of the endoscope 50 and can be projected and retracted into the living body.
- a treatment instrument 70 that can be inserted into the duct 51 of the endoscope 50 and can be projected and retracted into the living body.
- the form of the treatment tool 70 of this embodiment is not specifically limited, Forceps, a puncture needle, a scalpel, a suture tool, etc. can be applied.
- the treatment instrument 70 is a forceps having a single-opening tip 71 as shown in FIG.
- the treatment instrument 70 shown in FIG. 13 at least a part of the distal end portion 71 of the forceps is configured as the probe portion 2.
- the probe unit 2 is disposed at a portion of the treatment instrument 70 that can be inserted into the duct 51 of the endoscope 50 so as to be in contact with the living body. Since the treatment tool 70 can be used to identify a portion of the living body where there is little bleeding, the treatment can be performed more quickly.
- the ultrasonic transducer 3 is disposed facing the axial direction at the distal end portion 71 of the treatment instrument 70, but the ultrasonic transducer 3 of the treatment instrument 70 is arranged as shown in FIG. 14.
- tip part 71 may be sufficient.
- the probe unit 2 may be inserted into the duct 51 of the endoscope 50 and may be provided at the distal end of a cylindrical sheath that houses the treatment instrument 70.
- the form of the sheath is not particularly limited, but a form for accommodating a puncture needle, a suture tool, a guide wire, or the like is conceivable.
- the eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
- the eleventh embodiment shows another form of the probe unit 2 in which the ultrasonic transducer 3 is disposed.
- the eleventh embodiment differs from the tenth embodiment described above only in the configuration of the probe portion. Therefore, only this difference will be described below, and the same components as those in the tenth embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
- the probe unit 2 is disposed at the distal end portion 71 a of the treatment instrument 70 a that is a guide wire that can be inserted into the duct 51 of the endoscope 50.
- an electrode 72 electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer 3 via a conductive wire inserted inside is disposed on the proximal end side of the treatment instrument 70 so as to be exposed on the side surface. ing.
- the electrode 72 exposed on the side surface of the treatment instrument 70 is electrically connected to the control unit 10 by coming into contact with an electrode 73 disposed inside a clip 74 that removably holds the periphery of the electrode 72. .
- the clip 74 is attached to the guide wire 70a, and the ultrasonic transmission / reception unit 2a of the probe unit 2 is brought into contact with the living body.
- the clip 74 is removed from the guide wire 70a.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist or concept of the invention that can be read from the claims and the entire specification.
- the detection device is also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de détection de flux sanguin équipé d’une sonde échographique ; une unité de sonde configurée de sorte que des ondes ultrasonores puissent être émises vers et reçues depuis un organisme vivant ; une unité arithmétique d’informations de flux sanguin qui calcule des informations de flux sanguin constituées d’au moins l’un parmi la vitesse d’un flux sanguin, la valeur de puissance du flux sanguin, le volume du flux sanguin, ou la profondeur d’une zone dans laquelle le flux sanguin existe, en émettant les ondes ultrasonores vers et en les recevant depuis l’organisme vivant en utilisant la sonde ultrasonore ; et une unité de présentation d’informations qui transmet la variation des informations de flux sanguin sous la forme d’au moins l’une parmi des informations audio, des informations visuelles, ou des informations tactiles, et transmet celles-ci à un utilisateur.
