Background and aims: The introduction of a new type of small handheld ultrasound device brings greater portability and affordability in a different setting. The basic ultrasound approach with these handheld devices has been defined by European Federation of Societies of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) as “EchoScopy”. The current study aimed to assess the image quality, indications and limitations of a portable pocket “EchoScopy” performed first compared with a high-end ultrasound system (second) in abdominal diseases.Material and methods: Three hundred consecutive patients (158 males and 142 females, age 55±19 [18-96]) years) were included. The ultrasound examinations were performed firstly by an EchoScope (Vscan™ Dual Probe) and secondly with a high-end ultrasound system (HEUS, GE Logiq E9). Compared with the always excellent image quality using HEUS, the image quality of the EchoScope was graded as good, sufficient or non-sufficient.Results: Out of all 300 patients, 221 had focal lesions, 31 patients were found with diffuse pathological findings, 20 with ascites, 25 after liver puncture and 45 without any pathological findings. The image quality of the pocket device was considered as being good or sufficient to delineate the pathology in 265/300 (88%). The detection rate of the EchoScope for abdominal focal lesion was 172/221 (78%). The higher frequency of the Dual Probe was helpful in 35/300 (12%).Conclusions: EchoScopy has proven to display sufficient image quality to answer specific questions, e.g., detection of ascites, splenomegaly, bile duct enlargement, hydronephrosis and other pathological findings which can be judged by “yes/no”.

Abstract Background Mammography is the most accepted, accurate, and effective modality in screening of breast cancer, yet its sensitivity is affected by the density of the breast tissue. Alternative methods for screening are the sonography and MRI but both had their limitations. A new option named ABUS (automated breast ultrasound system) is now proposed to overcome the breast US limitation as it is time-consuming and operator-dependent and to overcome the costly time-consuming MRI. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the accuracy of ABUS in the detection of different breast lesions as a substitution for mammography. This prospective study included 25 women outreached for digital mammography or handheld ultrasound examination at the period between January 2017 and February 2018. Women have no specific age group. Results Significant improvement in the detection of breast lesions by ABUS use with mammogram especially in dense breasts (ACR class C and D) Conclusion ABUS is a promising competitor to mammogram in screening of breast lesions

Handheld Ultrasound

Acute thoracic aortic dissection is an uncommon, although not rare, life-threatening condition. With protean signs and symptoms that often suggest more common cardiac or pulmonary conditions, it can be difficult to diagnose. Ultrasound has proven useful in making the correct diagnosis. This case demonstrates that training gained using standard ultrasound machines can be easily and successfully adapted to newer handheld ultrasound devices. The examination technique using the handheld device is illustrated with photos and a video.
