Vscan Extend Portable Ultrasound

Handheld ultrasound is always with you at the point of care. It fits in your pocket so you have it readily available for a variety of exams, including abdominal, cardiology, lung, obstetric, urinary/ bladder, liver, kidney and vascular scanning. You don’t have to find an available ultrasound system or wait for radiology to provide results of an exam. Many healthcare obstetricians – cardiologists, general practitioners, obstetrician, primary care, emergency physicians, and intensivists – are using portable ultrasound to guide their diagnoses, optimize the course of treatment and save time.

Vscan Extend Bladder App is a protocol enabled measurement tool for calculating urinary bladder volumes. The protocol includes an edge-detection algorithm that suggests and automatically places the measure calipers for transverse and sagittal view. You can accept or manually adjust these measurements to get the bladder volume.

• Use anytime during the scan
• Suggests caliper placement based on the real-time image
• Switch the standard views at any time
• Produces a urinary bladder volume measurement, activated in the same way as traditional workflow
• Accept or manually adjust measurements

The Lung M-mode app provides the M-mode capability specifically to support the assessment of lung and documentation of signs like seashore.

• After entering the lung M-mode tool, a centered vertical M-mode cursor line is applied to generate the M-mode display
• This tool is enabled for linear transducer with lung preset and sector transducer with cardiac preset (the recommended preset for lung assessment with the sector transducer)
• Once the M-Mode image is optimized, the image can be stored, or a distance measurement can be made and stored
