Handheld Ultrasound Devices

Handheld ultrasound devices can be used in many clinical, hospital or practice settings and can easily be taken from room to room. This may prove invaluable for physicians in today's busy practice environment including not only primary care physicians but also those specializing in critical care and women's health, as well as hospitalists. They permit early diagnostic assessment in the emergent situation and demonstrates significant potential in the pre­hospital environment.
