Ultrasonic urine volume measuring instrument, and urine volume management data generating and displaying method using ultrasonic urine volume measuring instrument

Abstract

To provide an ultrasonic urine volume measuring instrument that can highly accurately measure urine volume of a measurement subject and that is convenient for the measurement subject. There are provided a mode selector 22a capable of selecting one of a measurement mode of measuring urine volume while an ultrasound probe 10 is placed at a certain measurement position on the stomach of a measurement subject, and a positioning mode of measuring urine volume while moving the ultrasound probe 10 to a plurality of tentative measurement positions on the stomach in order to determine the measurement position suitable for placing the ultrasound probe 10 in the measurement mode; and an index value memory 23a that stores a maximum value among urine volumes at the plurality of tentative measurement positions, calculated by the arithmetic unit 24, while the positioning mode is being selected, and / or an allowance value determined on the basis of the maximum value. The maximum value and / or the allowance value is displayed, on a graph on a display unit 27, as a positioning index value for positioning the ultrasound probe 10.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic urine volume measuring device in which ultrasonic waves are used to measure urine volume in a bladder, and a urine volume management data generation and display method using the ultrasonic urine volume measuring device. Background technique [0002] Hitherto, as a measuring device that uses ultrasonic waves to measure the amount of urine in the bladder, for example, as described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent No. 4677615), there is known a measuring device that uses ultrasonic A mode based on The amplitude and timing of the waves reflected by the front and back walls of the bladder allow time-series determination of the volume of urine in the bladder. [0003] In the measuring device for measuring the amount of urine in the bladder using ultrasonic waves, as a method of arranging the measuring device on the abdomen of the measurement subject, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese ...
