Ultrasound-enhanced systemic thrombolysis
Ultrasound-enhanced systemic thrombolysis is like using a magic wand to break up a blood clot in your body.
Our blood flows in tubes called veins and arteries. Sometimes, things don't go as planned and a blood clot forms, which can block the tube and stop the blood from getting where it needs to go.
Doctors can use medicine to break up the blood clot, but sometimes the medicine doesn't work well enough. That's where ultrasound comes in.
Ultrasound is like a superpower that lets doctors see inside your body without even cutting you open. They use a special machine that sends sound waves through your skin and uses the echoes that bounce back to create a picture of what's going on inside.
With ultrasound-enhanced systemic thrombolysis, doctors use the ultrasound machine to target the blood clot with sound waves. The sound waves create vibrations that can help break up the clot, making it easier for the medicine to do its job.
It's kind of like using a jackhammer to break up a big rock before you try to move it. With the rock broken into smaller pieces, it's easier to pick up and move.
By using ultrasound to enhance the medicine's ability to break up the blood clot, doctors can help restore blood flow to where it needs to go and prevent more serious health problems.
