Ultrasound machines are a significant investment. How do you choose the best ultrasound machine to suit your needs?
Some common questions we ask customers are what features are you looking for in a handheld ultrasound? What type of application will the ultrasound unit be used for? For instance, will it be used for cardiac, urology, OB/GYN, Veterinary, etc.? Do you need a basic handheld Doppler ultrasound or 2D capabilities? What scan depth do you require? Do you require a handheld ultrasound scanner to assist in guidance procedures? Identifying the answers to these types of questions will help guide you to a unit that suits your needs.

National Ultrasound’s team of experts, made up of experienced sonographers has put together recommendations for handheld portable ultrasound equipment.
