Pocket-Sized scanner aims to cut hospital wait times for diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07497490
Summary
This study tested whether using a portable, handheld ultrasound device at a patient's bedside could help doctors diagnose abdominal problems faster than waiting for scheduled scans like CT or MRI. Researchers compared two groups of hospitalized adults who needed a stomach or liver specialist. One group got the handheld scan during the consultation, while the other followed the standard process. The main goal was to see if the portable device reduced the time to get a diagnostic image and if that led to a shorter hospital stay.
