Painless gastroscopy is an instrument and method that uses ultrasound principles to diagnose and detect digestive system diseases. In particular, the use of fast-dissolving gastrointestinal ultrasound contrast aids, which does not require intubation, is damage-free and painless, can clearly examine various acute and chronic, superficial, atrophic gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer, gastroptosis, acute and chronic colitis, various tumors, inflammations, polyps and other lesions in a short time, providing a scientific diagnostic basis for clinical treatment. Since there is no intubation and no contact with the patient's body, cross-infection of infectious diseases is reduced, the scope of examination is expanded, and it is more suitable for examination and diagnosis of the gastrointestinal system of patients with hypertension, heart disease, coronary heart disease, severe asthma, and infectious patients such as hepatitis B.
