摘要

超声成像是医疗保健中不可或缺的诊断和筛查工具,以其非侵入性、实时可视化和使用非电离辐射而闻名。它通过显著降低产妇死亡率和加强患者护理,在妇产科发挥着至关重要的作用。除了用于产科,超声波还用于指导活组织检查,并广泛用于评估各种疾病,如肝硬化、甲状腺疾病和肾结石。事实证明,即时超声检查在资源匮乏的环境中越来越有用。然而,商用超声凝胶的可用性和成本带来了重大挑战。因此,由当地原料制成的天然凝胶已经成为可行的替代品。这篇综述严格审查了替代的天然超声凝胶,重点是它们的物理化学性质,配方程序,以及它们在诊断成像中使用的局限性。此外,它提出了一个合理的设计方法,包括系统地选择基于他们的个人性质和相互作用的成分,以制定这些凝胶。这种方法的重点是选择合适的成分来优化凝胶的物理化学性质,用于成像应用。这为本土制造商开发符合理想性能标准的凝胶提供了一条有希望的途径,确保更好的成像结果和临床实践中更广泛的可接受性。在临床实践中。

Rational design of alternative natural-based coupling media for diagnostic ultrasound imaging: a review.

Ultrasound imaging is an indispensable diagnostic and screening tool in healthcare, renowned for its non-invasive nature, real-time visualization, and use of non-ionizing radiation. It plays a vital role in obstetrics and gynaecology by significantly reducing maternal mortality and enhancing patient care. In addition to its use in obstetrics, ultrasound is used to guide biopsies and to evaluate various diseases such as liver cirrhosis, thyroid disorders, and kidney stones. Point-of-care ultrasonography has proven to be increasingly beneficial in low-resource settings. However, the availability and cost of commercial ultrasound gels pose significant challenges. Alternative natural-based gels formulated from locally sourced materials have emerged as viable substitutes. This review critically examines alternative natural-based ultrasound gels, focusing on their physicochemical properties, formulation procedures, and the limitations associated with their use in diagnostic imaging. Furthermore, it presents a rational design approach that methodically selects the ingredients based on their properties and interactions to formulate these gels for imaging applications. This offers a promising pathway for indigenous manufacturers to develop gels that meet ideal performance criteria, ensuring better imaging outcomes and wider acceptability in clinical practice.

期刊介绍: BPEX is an inclusive, international, multidisciplinary journal devoted to publishing new research on any application of physics and/or engineering in medicine and/or biology. Characterized by a broad geographical coverage and a fast-track peer-review process, relevant topics include all aspects of biophysics, medical physics and biomedical engineering. Papers that are almost entirely clinical or biological in their focus are not suitable. The journal has an emphasis on publishing interdisciplinary work and bringing research fields together, encompassing experimental, theoretical and computational work.
