Anatomical Structures Corresponding to Each Echocardiographic View (III)
Anatomical Structures Corresponding to Each Echocardiographic View (III) Preface At the request of a friend, I am writing this piece on the relevant anatomy for echocardiography. The examination has been completed and the report is quite detailed, yet they still wish to see what the actual images look like. So, let’s simply present the images […]

How to Choose Ultrasound Equipment: A Complete Buying Guide
How to Choose Ultrasound Equipment: A Complete Buying Guide When selecting a suitable ultrasound device, priority should be given to image quality, portability, and intended clinical use. For most general practices, a mid-range portable ultrasound device equipped with Doppler imaging and a high-frequency probe offers the best balance of performance and cost-effectiveness¹. Key considerations include […]
Practical Step 9: Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Intervention
Practical Step 9: Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access Intervention With the increase in the number of hemodialysis patients, vascular access dysfunction (such as stenosis, thrombosis, and poor maturation) has become a common clinical challenge. In the past, such problems were often managed through empirical judgment or reliance on angiography. Nowadays, ultrasound-guided hemodialysis vascular access intervention is gradually […]
Practical Step 8: Identification and Management of Hemodialysis Complications
Practical Step 8: Identification and Management of Hemodialysis Complications Hemodialysis is a crucial treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease to sustain life. However, various complications often arise during the dialysis process. Timely identification and proper management are key to ensuring dialysis safety and improving quality of life. Ultrasound technology plays an irreplaceable role in […]
Practical Step 7: From Imaging to Action – Sustaining Long-Term Patency of AVG
Practical Step 7: From Imaging to Action – Sustaining Long-Term Patency of AVG In the care of hemodialysis access, artificial blood vessels serve as a vital alternative. Compared with autologous arteriovenous fistulas (AVF), arteriovenous grafts (AVG) involve more complex puncture procedures with higher requirements. Additionally, due to their shorter service life and greater susceptibility to […]
Practical Step 6: Is Your Arteriovenous Fistula “Mature”?
Practical Step 6: Is Your Arteriovenous Fistula “Mature”? Successful surgery, but unable to puncture? Blood flow fails to meet dialysis requirements? Complications caused by premature use? Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) is the “lifeline” for dialysis patients, but surgical success does not equal clinical usability. Whether an AVF is mature directly determines whether it can be punctured […]
Practical Step 5: Preoperative Ultrasound Assessment for Arteriovenous Fistula
Practical Step 5: Preoperative Ultrasound Assessment for Arteriovenous Fistula The “lifeline” of dialysis patients is the key to long-term hemodialysis treatment. A mature, unobstructed, and durable fistula means stability and safety for patients in their dialysis life. However, the success of a fistula depends not only on the surgical skills of the operator, but more […]
Practical Step 4: How to Choose the Optimal “Lifeline”?
Practical Step 4: How to Choose the Optimal “Lifeline”? There is no perfect access, only the most suitable choice. In the world of dialysis patients, “Unobstructed access ensures smooth dialysis” is not just a slogan, but a guarantee of life. A safe, unobstructed and durable vascular access is the “lifeline” for maintaining dialysis treatment. Today, […]
