Storage for Transport of ultrasonic transducer

• Make sure that the transducer is clean and disinfected before placing it in the case to avoid contaminating the foam that lines the carrying case.
• Place the transducer in the case carefully to prevent kinking of the cable.
• Before closing the lid, make sure no part of the transducer is protruding from the case.
• Wrap the case in plastic material containing sealed-air pockets (such as Bubble Wrap material), and pack the wrapped case in a cardboard carton.

Why do some ultrasound examinations require holding back urine? How much is appropriate to hold in?​

Before conducting urinary system examinations such as bladder, ureter, and prostate, as well as gynecological ultrasound examinations in unmarried women, patients with heavy vaginal bleeding, and patients in the first three months of pregnancy, it is necessary to hold back urine and fill the bladder appropriately to reduce intestinal gas interference and provide good Acoustic window. For gynecological ultrasound, the bladder urine volume is required to be 300-400ml. As far as experience is concerned, drinking 500-800ml of water before the examination generally requires holding in urine for 2 hours, and drinking 800-1000ml of water requires holding in urine for about 1 hour. A good sign of a full bladder is that the lower abdomen bulges in a shallow arc when lying down, and can be pressed down and held back when pressure is applied.

What are the advantages of transvaginal examination over abdominal examination?

There is no need to hold in urine, which reduces the pain of holding in urine. Obese patients do not need to go through multiple layers of abdominal tissue and thick fat, and the image is clearer than abdominal ultrasound. The display of subtle lesions in the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity is significantly better than transabdominal ultrasound, and can be used for good differential diagnosis. Especially for those who plan to become pregnant, vaginal ultrasound can more accurately observe the growth of follicles and endometrium. At the same time, transvaginal ultrasound-guided puncture can be used to retrieve eggs and treat ovarian cysts and pelvic abscesses.
