Hand Held Ultrasound Devices Becoming Highly Dependable Diagnostic Tools

The diagnostic ultrasound system consists of a transducer, transmitter pulse generator, compensating amplifiers, the control unit for focusing, digital processors and systems for display. Diagnostic ultrasound devices emit frequencies between 2 to 20 megahertz. Today ultrasound has medical applications on imaging multiple areas within the body and gives very accurate results regarding the overall structural composition based on the density and transmission of the sound waves through biological tissue. There are a variety of different components available in the market today. 2D is still considered as a gold standard for most applications; however obstetrics ultrasound in North America is fervently opting 3D & 4D imaging. Most private clinics and maternal diagnostic laboratories offer packages for ultrasound imaging.

The size of these devices reduced with the introduction of LCD and LED displays along with smaller integrated circuitry in the machines, thus growing in popularity. The global market is still led strongly by the large trolley based systems with a share of 64.4% in 2014. However, towards 2019, both portable and hand-held segments are expected to steal share from conventional systems market. The figure below illustrates current purchase pattern as per pricing of ultrasound systems across the world. The largest market observed is in the high-end systems, primarily in developed regions such as North America, Europe and parts of Asia-Pacific. The trolley or cart configuration is the most common type of configuration available in the market. The system comprises of large data storage capacity along with multiple attached transducers. These systems can be transported only over brief distances for e.g. within a single floor of a medical facility. These devices are heaviest due to additional batteries, storage and data transmission facilities provided. Compact and portable ultrasound systems can be carried around throughout the medical facility quickly and efficiently. Compact ultrasound devices provide a balance between imaging quality and portability, and are thus the option of choice for a large number of diagnosticians. They are easy to carry right to the bedside of the patient. Handheld ultrasound systems are the latest rage amongst diagnosticians and rightly so. The devices offer incomparable flexibility in primary care, quick decision making and empower medical professionals to make immediate informed decisions on patient?s health. Most devices fit in the coat pockets of doctors and physicians. Although they do not find much use in ultrasound clinics since they are best suited for primary care and point-of-care.

The global ultrasound market has been analyzed for six geographies of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East and Africa. The unstable European economy since the past few years has not affected the diagnostic imaging industry and least of all the ultrasound devices segment. Europe led the global market with a share of 33.8% followed closely by North America with 31.8%. North America?s diagnostic industry traditionally relies greatly on CT and MRI modalities and has greater instability in its reimbursement for ultrasound procedures. Musculoskeletal, sports medicine and point-of-care contribute significantly to the growth of the market in North America. Increasing research on technology and applications of ultrasound are pushing boundaries of the devices in the region.
