Abstract:
Objective To review the application status and prospect the medical ultrasound technology applied in space medicine based on literature analysis.Literature resource and selection Research papers and reports in space medicine and relative fields published at home and abroad were retrieved.Literature quotation Forty-eight published papers and reports were cited.Literature synthesis Medical ultrasonography,as a traditional medical imaging technology,has been widely used to diagnose and monitor many different diseases in clinical setting for several decades.It is also widely used to investigate the human physiology in spaceflight or simulated-weightlessness environment,especially on diagnosing cardiovascular functions.The effects of countermeasures against weightlessness could be expediently assessed via medical ultrasonography.During spaceflight,when astronaut has diseases or accident injuries,medical ultrasonography is the only choice of medical imaging diagnose.Conclusions Medical ultrasound has shown its advantages in space medicine.It will become more worthy as Chinese astronauts execute long-term spaceflight missions in future,
