2. Portable ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_ultrasound

   Portable ultrasound is a modality of medical ultrasonography that utilizes small and light devices, compared to the console-style ultrasound machines that preceded them. In most cases these mobile ultrasound systems could be carried by hand and in some cases even operated for a time on battery power alone.

3. Doppler fetal monitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_fetal_monitor

   A Doppler fetal monitor, informally known as sonicaid (generic trademark), is a hand-held ultrasound transducer used to detect the fetal heartbeat for prenatal care. It uses the Doppler effect to provide an audible simulation of the heart beat.

4. Doppler ultrasonography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_ultrasonography

   These are hand-held, and some models also display the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Use of this monitor is sometimes known as Doppler auscultation. The Doppler fetal monitor is commonly referred to simply as a Doppler or fetal Doppler. Doppler fetal monitors provide information about the fetus similar to that provided by a fetal ...

5. Pre-hospital ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-hospital_ultrasound

   In most cases, prehospital providers will employ the use of a portable ultrasound unit. In every instance, an attempt is made to find the area best suited to an ultrasound and utilize bare skin if possible. Resolution is vastly decreased if soundings must be made through any form of clothing. [9] There are two main areas of emergency ultrasound.

6. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

   Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques (mainly imaging techniques) using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics (e.g., distances and velocities) or to generate an informative audible sound.

7. Emergency ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_ultrasound

   A portable ultrasound machine used in the prehospital setting. Emergency ultrasound is used to quickly diagnose a limited set of injuries or pathologic conditions, [4] specifically those where conventional diagnostic methods would either take too long or would introduce greater risk to a person (either by transporting the person away from the most closely monitored setting, or exposing them to ...

8. Home ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_ultrasound

   Typical diagnostic ultrasound machines operate in the frequency range of 2-18 megahertz, whereas home ultrasound machines and therapeutic ultrasound machines operate in the frequency range of .7-3.3 megahertz. Diagnostic sonography is typically used to create an audio "image", such as during pregnancy to visualize the developing baby.

9. 3D ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_ultrasound

   A 3D ultrasound of a human fetus aged 20 weeks. 3D ultrasound is a medical ultrasound technique, often used in fetal, cardiac, trans-rectal and intra-vascular applications. 3D ultrasound refers specifically to the volume rendering of ultrasound data.
