Abstract
An acoustic matching member that is applied to a body surface in a case where an ultrasound image is captured, wherein the acoustic matching member is a mixed solution containing: water; and a hydrophilic polymer having a hydrophilic functional group and having 8 or more carbon atoms, and wherein a viscosity of the acoustic matching member is 5 mPa·s or more and 20000 mPa·s or less.
Claims5
A method for capturing a medical image, comprising:
- in a state where a subject is in a state of being compressed by a compression member having a compression surface of which a region in contact with a body surface of the subject is subjected to hydrophilic processing, the subject being in a state where the body surface is coated with an acoustic matching member that is a mixed solution containing water and a hydrophilic polymer having a hydrophilic functional group and having 8 or more carbon atoms, and that has a viscosity of 5 mPa·s or more and 20000 mPa·s or less,
- performing ultrasound image capturing of acquiring an ultrasound image obtained by scanning a surface of the compression member opposite to the compression surface with a probe.
