At Newcastle, Dr Simon Elliott uses a SonoSite M-Turbo system

 

An ever-increasing number of radiologists are looking closely at point-of-care ultrasound for the advantages it offers to compliment traditional radiology services.

“We have been using portable ultrasound since we evaluated the UK’s first SonoSite 180PLUS® point-of-care system in 1999. We were very happy with the versatility and image quality of that system for the vast majority of our portable workload and, since then, use of point-of-care ultrasound has expanded.”
