About portable ultrasound
Portable ultrasound devices are medical imaging devices that utilize echo-enhanced ultrasound waves for diagnostic purposes. Portable ultrasound devices can be used at POC and can be operated on battery power. They are lighter and smaller than conventional ultrasound machines.
Conventional ultrasound machines have certain limitations such as low diagnostic accuracy and difficulty in imaging patients who are overweight as sound waves in these machines did not pass deeper into the body. However, portable ultrasound devices are highly sensitive and can even detect pancreatic tumors. These devices are affordable and hence widely used by gynecologists and obstetricians. These devices are also useful for on-field scanning and used for vascular, pediatric, cardiac, endocrinology, and radiology applications.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global portable ultrasound market to grow at a CAGR of 8.74% during 2014-2019.
