Objective To assess the local anatomy of the Jing Bi with high-frequency ultrasound, and to evaluate the clinical significance of high-frequency ultrasound in acupuncture. Methods A total of 206 healthy subjects were observed with the high-frequency ultrasound. Two common location points of Jing Bi were selected and acupunctured under guidance of high-frequency ultrasound. The sensation of subjects was observed. Brachial plexus diameter, distance between skin and membrana pleuralis, as well as the brachial plexus and the pleura were measured. Results The filiform needle tip to lung, lung tissue and the brachial plexus were all showed, and the brachial plexus diameter, distance between skin and membrana pleuralis, the distance between the brachial plexus and the pleura were obtained. The patients felt when the needle reached the membrane of brachial plexus. All subjects got feeling within 10 seconds after acupuncture, and no pneumothorax occurred. Conclusion The local anatomy of dangerous acupoints can be accurately observed with high-frequency ultrasound. High-frequency ultrasound has important value and significance for acupuncturing the dangerous acupoints.
