Fully automatic ultrasonic scanner and scan detection method

An ultrasonic scanner for scanning on a skin surface that is over any one of a plurality of to-be-detected organs, each of the plurality of to-be-detected organs coming from a different person, the ultrasonic scanner capable of being used by placement directly on the skin surface or with a coupling liquid that is flowable and disposed on the skin surface to provide a medium for the transmission of acoustic signals to the skin surface and collected image signals from the skin surface, the ultrasonic scanner comprising:

• an ultrasonic probe that scans along a curve of the skin surface above the one of the plurality of to-be-detected organs, the ultrasonic probe generating and transmitting the acoustic signals and receiving the collected image signals;
• a flexible and movable belt on which the ultrasonic probe is mounted;
• a driving system for driving the flexible and moveable belt with the ultrasonic probe mounted thereon, the driving system including a belt pulley and a tension pulley that assist, along with the coupling liquid disposed between the flexible and moveable belt and the skin surface, in maintaining the ultrasonic probe moving along and in close contact with the skin surface, as well as perpendicular to the skin surface during scanning of the to-be-detected organ of the plurality of to-be-detected organs, thereby maintaining a consistent reflection angle for the received collected image signals and reducing interference images;
• and
• wherein the flexible and moveable belt winds around the belt pulley and the tension pulley, and
• wherein the belt pulley is connected to the driving system to move the flexible and moveable belt and the ultrasonic probe disposed thereon and which further contains two belt pulley wheels between which is disposed a portion of the flexible and moveable belt to which the ultrasonic probe is mounted and which moves along in close contact with the skin surface.
