OB/GYN
Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) ultrasound has been widely adopted to provide confident evaluation in female reproductive system assessments, identifying potential complications and monitoring pregnancy progress.
Sports Medicine
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) is a vital tool for assessing muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and cartilage. For injuries in sports settings, promptness for diagnosis is most needed.
Cardiology
Given the rising prevalence of heart diseases including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, heart rhythm disorders, etc., CUS serves as an indispensable tool to ensure early condition detection and prompt management.
Primary Care
The handheld ultrasound devices with intuitive operation require minimal training, which speeds up referrals and streamlines communication with specialist physicians.
Internal Medicine
Portable ultrasound devices greatly downsize the need for punctures and surgeries by visualizing anatomical structure conditions. These devices act as a valuable aid in procedures such as central venous catheter placement, thoracentesis, and paracentesis.
Emergency Medicine
The real-time, wireless transmission of high-resolution images from probes to mobile phones and tablets allows emergency physicians to make more accurate assessments.
Plastic-surgery
he use of high-frequency ultrasound reduces the subjectivity of skin diagnoses, allowing for rapid and intuitive assessments of complex, multi-layered superficial nerves during injection procedures.
Demand for Point-of-care Ultrasound in Clinical Departments
In traditional hospital practice, ultrasound services are centralized in ultrasound departments. However, many specialties—including anesthesiology, pain management, general surgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, respiratory medicine, hematology, oncology, and emergency medicine—require ultrasound support for emergency check and routine diagnostic.
Increased demand burdens ultrasound specialists and often leads to extended wait times due to insufficient equipment. Additionally, the high cost of large-scale ultrasound machines can cause budget overruns if equip each department adequately. These unmet needs highlight the opportunity for handheld ultrasound devices, offering cost-effective, portable imaging solutions that enhance accessibility and improve patient care across various clinical settings.
