Abstract
Disclosed are a convex-linear bi-plane probe and its application method in prostate volume calculation. The present invention adopts the following technical solution: comprising a probe housing and a probe assembly contained in the probe housing, the probe assembly comprising a linear probe and a convex probe contained at the end of the linear probe, with the linear element inside the linear probe and the convex element inside the convex probe connected as one piece. The benefits of the present invention are that: by setting a convex probe at the end of the linear probe, and by connecting the linear element and the convex element as one, the volume of the probe can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the use of convex-linear biplane probe and its integrated design collect two orthogonal ultrasound images of the prostate, which improves the accuracy of prostate volume calculation.
