A portable ultrasound machine is used for diagnostic medical imaging to visualize many internal organs, tendons and muscles. It captures their size and structure, as well as pathological lesions with real-time images.

Ultrasound had become widely used since 1980s, and since that time its bulk and cost were greatly limited to be used in hospitals. In ten years (1990s) there was offered a portable machine that weighed less than 6 pounds. As for today, the units are very lightweight, can withstand various abusive environmental conditions, and provide images of the highest quality.

Portable units become more and more popular. They get smaller, more adaptable and much better. So, the ultrasound market offers a huge variety of portable devices of different types, options, additional features, as well as from different manufacturers.
