The operation standardization

quantitative standard and safety of acupuncture treatment are important links in the development of acupuncture modernization. In recent years

with the continuous development of ultrasonic imaging technology

ultrasonic medicine has the characteristics of visualization

quantitative analysis and real-time dynamics

which could play a unique role in acupuncture treatment. In this paper

the research progress of the combined application of ultrasonic medicine and acupuncture treatment is described from three aspects: ultrasound guidance helping to standardize acupuncture operation

ultrasound guidance helping to improve and evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture

and ultrasound guidance helping to improve the safety of acupuncture

aiming to providing new ideas for the application of modern medicine in traditional medicine.
