Portable ultrasound systems are battery-operated diagnostic imaging devices configured as handheld (probe + smartphone/tablet), tablet-style, or laptop-style units used for bedside point-of-care imaging. A wide range of ultrasound scanners designed for POCUS applications are highly portable, comparatively inexpensive, battery-operated, and easy to use, with adoption expanding into emergency departments, ambulances, helicopters, disaster sites, and major sporting events. Typical buyers include emergency departments, ICUs, anesthesia, OB/GYN, MSK and primary care clinics, ASCs, EMS fleets, and rural/global-health programs deploying scanners per-clinician rather than per-department.
