治疗超声在中医学中的应用

Application of therapeutic ultrasound in Chinese medicine

治疗超声是近10余年来发展并逐步成熟的一种无创治疗新技术,是物理科学应用于医学治疗领域的成功典范。因超声波具有方向性、穿透性和可聚焦性,可通过以下两方面的用途来达到治疗疾病的效果:一是产生非损伤性的热量或其他机械效应以刺激或加速身体对损伤的正常反映;二是对组织产生可控制的选择性杀灭。中医是指我国的传统医学,是研究人体生理、病理以及疾病的诊断和防治等的一门学科,它承载着中国古代人民同疾病作斗争的经验和理论知识。随着社会历史的发展和科学技术的进步,高新技术不断渗透到医学领域,本文主要介绍治疗超声这一无创治疗新技术在中医领域中的应用,借此表明中医的发展同样需要与时俱进,需要高新技术的推波助澜。

Therapeutic ultrasound is gradually developed and matured as a non-invasive new treatment technology in recent 10 years, which is the physical science applied to the medical field successfully. Ultrasound has the natures of direction, penetration and focus, which can achieve the therapeutic effects by the following two mechanisms： firstly, producing non-injury heat or other mechanical effects to stimulate or accelerate the body＇s normal reaction against injury; secondly, the tissue can be killed selectively. Chinese medicine refers to traditional medicine of China, which is used to study the human physiology, pathology, and the diagnosis and prevention of disease. With the development of society and advance of technology, high-tech permeates into the medical field gradually. This paper mainly introduces the applications of therapeutic ultrasound in the field of Chinese medicine, and to show that the development of Chinese medicine also needs to advance with the times and be fueled by high-tech.
