Pocket-Sized scanner aims to speed up hospital diagnoses
NCT ID NCT07497490
Summary
This study tested whether using a portable, handheld ultrasound device at a patient's bedside could help doctors diagnose abdominal issues faster than waiting for standard scans. Researchers compared two groups of hospitalized adults who needed a stomach specialist: one group got the handheld scan during the consultation, while the other waited for scheduled tests like CT or MRI. The main goal was to see if the portable device shortened the time to get a diagnosis and if that led to shorter hospital stays.
