Carry-on Portable ultrasound machines

Telemedicine has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years. Portable handheld ultrasound machines now make it easy for doctors to provide a high level of care and complete consultations in the patient's home, where previously they would have needed to travel to a hospital or medical facility.

Is a portable ultrasound machine a good investment for your doctor's office? In most cases, a handheld ultrasound machine is a valuable asset to any practice.

Ultrasound has quickly become the first choice for diagnostic imaging and triage. Moving your ultrasound machine quickly to the patient's bedside or taking it to the field can increase the efficiency of medical care and improve the experience for both physicians and patients.

What is an ultrasound machine?

Ultrasound machines use sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. Ultrasound machines are used to diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in internal organs of the body, as well as to examine the child of a pregnant woman, the brain of a baby and the buttocks. It is also used for biopsy management, diagnosing heart problems and assessing damage caused by heart attacks. Ultrasound is safe, non-invasive and does not involve the use of ionising radiation.

How ultrasound machines work

Ultrasound machines produce images so that organs in the body can be examined. The device emits high-frequency sound waves that reflect the structure of the body. A computer receives the sound waves and uses them to create images. Unlike X-rays or computed tomography scans, this type of examination does not use ionising radiation.
