Mindray's Specialized Ultrasound Applications for Clinical Diagnoses during the Beijing Winter Olympics

“Ultrasound allows for a better real-time examination of the dynamic structures of the joint, and is highly valuable in the diagnosis of rotator cuff injuries. In addition, ultrasound is very advantageous when checking fluids. Physicians will have more confidence when puncturing a fluid site under ultrasound guidance. Therefore, ultrasound should be applied more in the sports medicine field.”

Sports injuries such as muscle strains, joint dislocations, and fractures are extremely common in ice and snow sports due to the high risks involved. Advanced medical equipment can help doctors perform professional analysis and diagnosis, and then deliver effective treatment plans for patients.

So, how does ultrasound work in treating sports injuries? Due to competitive edges such as security, convenience, minimal invasion, and lack of radiation, ultrasound is widely used to systematically and thoroughly check patients over. It has better resolution than CT and MRI for the fine structures of soft tissues, and can be performed in a short period of time and used for long-term follow-up, contributing to the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries in athletes and the general public. In the Peking University Third Hospital, a designated hospital for the Winter Olympics, Mindray's high-end portable ultrasound M9 and M7 help doctors diagnose patients after sports traumas.

For frequent sports injuries such as organ bleeding, muscle and joint injuries, Mindray portable ultrasound has a specially developed emergency trauma mode that can be used for rapid on-site trauma assessment and the assessment of muscle and joint recovery.
