China Becomes the Second Largest Market for Medical Devices Worldwide
China has emerged as a global leader in the healthcare industry in recent years, with a huge demand for medical devices and equipment. According to a recent report, China has become the second largest market for medical devices in the world after the United States, with a market size of over $61 billion in 2020. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including an aging population, improved healthcare infrastructure, rising income levels, and increased awareness about healthcare. With a population of over 1.4 billion, China has a vast patient pool, making it an attractive market for global medical device manufacturers. In addition, the Chinese government has been making significant investments in healthcare reforms and modernizing its healthcare systems. For instance, in 2018, it introduced a new regulatory framework for medical devices, which improved access to medical devices and quality and safety standards. Furthermore, China’s Belt and Road Initiative has opened up new opportunities for medical device companies to expand their reach beyond domestic borders. The project aims to enhance connectivity and cooperation between China and other countries, providing a platform for medical device companies to reach out to new markets. As the demand for better healthcare continues to grow...

Why do you need to hold your urine during a gynecologic ultrasound?
Gynecologic ultrasound is a routine diagnostic examination used for the evaluation of a woman’s reproductive health. The procedure typically involves the use of a transvaginal probe, which is inserted into the vagina to obtain high-quality images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding structures. One of the most important things that a woman should do before a gynecologic ultrasound is to hold her urine. This may seem like an inconvenience, but there is a valid reason behind it.A full bladder is necessary for certain types of abdominal ultrasounds, but a bladder that is too full can actually interfere with the accuracy of a transvaginal ultrasound. A full bladder can push the uterus upward and backwards, making it more difficult for the sonographer to obtain clear images. When a woman holds her urine before a transvaginal ultrasound, the bladder is empty, which allows the uterus to be positioned in a more optimal location for imaging. This makes it easier for the sonographer to obtain clear images and identify any potential abnormalities. In addition to improving the accuracy of the ultrasound, holding one’s urine can also help to reduce discomfort during the procedure. A full bladder can cause pressure in the pelvis, which...

Veterinary B-ultrasound transmitting and receiving circuit
The transmitting and receiving circuit of veterinary B-ultrasound is the key part of the pulse-echo ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, which has a great influence on the quality of the instrument. The emission of ultrasonic pulse is completed by the piezoelectric transducer, and its excitation energy is obtained from the high-voltage electric pulse provided by the high-voltage pulse generator. In the veterinary B-ultrasound diagnostic equipment, except for some Doppler blood flow detection equipment, most of them use the same transducer for sending and receiving. The shared use of transceivers for veterinary B-ultrasound transducers reduces the cost of the transducer and simplifies the manufacturing process of the transducer; however, since the high-sensitivity receiving circuit must be connected with the high-power ultrasonic transmitting circuit, in order to avoid the receiving circuit being overvoltage In order to destroy the transmitting pulse, an isolation level must be added in the veterinary B-ultrasound receiving circuit. After the signal passes through the isolation stage, it is processed by pre-amplification. The pre-amplifier circuit mainly completes the impedance transformation and makes the signal gain a certain dB, and the specific gain will be determined by the sensitivity and gain distribution of the whole machine. The basic requirements for the isolation...

Detection method of sheep liver with B-ultrasound
Firstly, the sheep are held in a standing or supine position, and shearing is performed on the right side of the sheep at the level of the liver area 8-10 intercostal shoulder joints detected by B-ultrasound, so that the skin of the sheep’s liver body surface is detected by B-ultrasound revealed. First use the rechargeable electric shears to push away the thick and long hairs, then reduce the spacing density of the combs to cut off the remaining stubble. If necessary, apply an appropriate amount of coupling agent, then shave the hairs with a scalpel, and finally wipe the hair after applying the mixture. check. The B-ultrasound probe for sheep is kept in full and close contact with the skin. Care should be taken to avoid human-induced activities of the B-ultrasound probe for sheep and harassment of sheep. After scanning typical B-ultrasound images for sheep, freeze and save them, and record the scanning and storage time of the tomographic images. . After the B-ultrasound image of the sheep is frozen in time, the relevant indexes are measured. The audiogram stored in the B-ultrasound mainframe for sheep can be transmitted to the computer via infrared ray for storage by software. Calcified...

Using B-ultrasound to detect the influence of outdoor feeding on sows
In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to the welfare of pigs and the quality of pork, and the production scale of organic pork has been expanding year by year. Improving the level of animal welfare is a prerequisite for the development of organic pork. In the European organic pork production system, pigs generally have the opportunity to go outdoors. Although there are no specific welfare standards in the outdoor production system, it is believed that the outdoor breeding mode is more in line with the biological characteristics of pigs, and it is not harmful to the environment and can be Sustainable development also has certain benefits in terms of animal welfare and hygiene. Although outdoor production has the welfare advantages of increasing biodiversity and freedom of behavior, when the B-ultrasound backfat thickness and intermuscular fat of pigs are measured for pigs raised outdoors, it will also be found that the intermuscular fat of pigs raised outdoors The data on the B-ultrasound is relatively high. There are also many problems in outdoor feeding of sows, such as: frequently changing postures of sows, and reducing the frequency of breastfeeding, which can easily cause piglets to be crushed, injured...

The maintenance of veterinary B-ultrasound system and the design of image acquisition module
The management and maintenance module of the veterinary B-ultrasound system is designed to record some parameters of the veterinary B-ultrasound image acquisition card. In addition, because the adjustment of the probe focal length of the veterinary B-ultrasound equipment will change the benchmark of the measurement data, the calibration value of each benchmark is the same. Save the collected parameters together; complete tasks such as login according to authority, user increase and decrease, and user password setting. System users are divided into three types of authority: animal doctor, system administrator, and clinical animal doctor expert; physical examination subjects, physical examination object contact address dictionary, medical object occupation dictionary, measurement site dictionary, ultrasonic prompt information, and diagnostic opinion information. Add, delete, and modify Functions: According to the needs of the animal hospital, it can flexibly fill in the report title, script and other text content and font settings; realize regular backup of the system database, clear outdated data, increase system operation efficiency, and restore when necessary. The veterinary B-ultrasound image acquisition module realizes the processing function of the acquisition card, that is, the video signal of the veterinary B-ultrasound equipment image is digitally quantized by the acquisition card and stored in the...
