The Portascan Ultrasound

The portascan ultra sound machine is a battery operated, portable B-mode ultrasound scanner, for non-invasive measurement of the kidney dimensions and urinary bladder volume. the scanner includes and 8.4" color LCD screen to display cross sectional images of the kidney, prostate and bladder. A mechanical sector scanning transducer with around crystal provides a symmetrical ultrasound beam and gives high lateral and transverse resolution with high sensitivity and a low signal to noise ratio.


The kidney dimensions are measured using a calliper to place crosses on either side of the image of the organ. the bladder volume is calculated by placing two or more points on the periphery of the bladder. The volume is then calculated and displayed on the screen. An in built thermal printer can be used to print results.
