What is an ultrasound machine?
Ultrasound machines are devices that use ultrasound technology to generate images of internal tissues and organs of the human body, helping doctors observe and evaluate the patient's internal anatomy, organ functions, and hemodynamics, thereby enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.It is a non-invasive diagnostic tool widely used in medicine to evaluate and monitor various conditions in real-time.

Summary of recommendations
High functionality needs and budget
Desktop ultrasound or laptop ultrasound is recommended for complex exams and high-quality imaging needs.
Focus on portability and flexibility
For emergency and charity scenarios, portable ultrasound is the best choice.
Prioritize lightweight
For home monitoring or initial screening, handheld ultrasound and wireless ultrasound offer the ultimate in portability for mobile clinics.
Comprehensive functionality and flexibility
Laptop ultrasound is suitable for application scenarios that require high performance but seek portability, especially for consultation or military medical teams.
How to choose an ultrasound probe?
Three factors are considered when selecting the appropriate probe: the depth of the target site, the accuracy required for the examination, and the size of the patient.
Probe main parameters:
- Number of Elements : the more the number of elements of the array, the image level is also richer, commonly 80,128,192 elements of the array.
- Center Frequency : The center frequency determines the probe’s resolution and penetration. The higher the frequency, the better the image resolution.
- Frequency Range: The frequency range in which the image can be diagnosed.
- Maximum Scanning Depth (Max. Scanning Depth): Depth represents how far the body can be imaged.
Superficial tissue and vascular imaging for small organs (thyroid, mammary, testes, neonatal, peripheral vascular thyroid, breast and prostate) and other parts of the body, to aid in surgical and radiological diagnosis.
Good at deep tissue and large organ imaging, mainly used for abdominal and pelvic organs sweep, FAST sweep, pleural fluid sweep and lung ultrasound sweep, etc., serving the needs of internal medicine and obstetrics and gynecology.
Close to the organ imaging, suitable for female reproductive system and prostate examination, widely used in obstetrics and gynecology and urology.
small surface area, high frame rate dynamic imaging, easy to scan the entire heart through the intercostal space, mainly used for cardiac scanning, intracranial vascular scanning and lung ultrasound scanning, etc., often used by cardiologists and fetal medicine specialists.
Examination of the heart (including adult and children's heart) and other parts of the heart; chest section (adult and pediatric heart) analysis of M-mode images, detection of abnormalities in the structure and function of the heart; widely used in pediatrics and urology diagnosis.
Provides real-time three-dimensional imaging for fetal malformation screening and organ observation, and is commonly used in obstetrics and gynecology.

Summary of recommendations
Non-invasive
Ultrasound is a completely non-invasive examination method. Unlike imaging techniques such as X-rays or CT, it utilizes ultrasound for imaging, which is essentially a mechanical wave that does not produce ionizing radiation, and therefore does not cause radioactive damage to the human body, making it particularly suitable for pregnant women, children, and patients who need multiple examinations.
Real-time imaging
Real-time imaging not only captures the dynamic changes of the organs, but also shows the perfusion of the diseased area. For example, in diagnosing heart valve stenosis or atrial septal defect, color ultrasound is able to clearly show the phenomenon of blood flow shunt at the stenosis or defect area through color Doppler technology, and quantitatively measure the blood flow pressure using spectral Doppler, so as to accurately assess the condition. This real-time dynamic monitoring capability is a significant advantage of color ultrasound, making it an important diagnostic tool for cardiovascular, oncological and other diseases.
Versatility
The resolution and functionality of color ultrasound is constantly improving, and its scope of examination has been expanded from the traditional abdomen and heart to include a wide range of areas, such as blood vessels, thyroid gland, urinary system and musculoskeletal system.It is capable of analyzing in depth the difference between vascular and non-vascular lesions, assessing the nature and direction of blood flow, and even determining the blood supply to a lesion. In addition, color ultrasound also plays an important role in surgical navigation, ensuring the accuracy of medical interventions by guiding doctors in real time.
Cost-effective
Ultrasound equipment is not only less expensive to purchase, but also costs far less to operate and maintain than CT or MRI equipment. It does not require radiological protection measures, nor does it require the use of consumables such as developers, making it much easier to operate. Compared with expensive CT or MRI, color ultrasound is extremely cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for primary hospitals, clinics and even mobile medical scenarios.
Portability development
Portability is a major highlight of modern color ultrasound. As technology advances, the use of palmtop and wireless ultrasound has significantly increased the flexibility of the devices. They are small and lightweight, can be quickly deployed in emergency scenes, remote areas and post-disaster relief, and realize data sharing and remote consultation through wireless connection. This not only expands their application scenarios, but also further lowers the threshold of use, bringing more possibilities for medical services.
