What are the Limitations of Portable Ultrasound Devices?
While portable ultrasound devices offer numerous benefits, they also have some limitations:
1. Operator Dependency: The quality of the imaging and accuracy of the diagnosis largely depend on the skill and experience of the operator. 2. Limited Field of View: Portable devices may have a smaller field of view compared to larger, stationary units. 3. Battery Life: The battery life of portable devices can be a limiting factor, particularly in remote or high-volume settings. 4. Resolution: While improving, the resolution of portable devices may not match that of full-sized ultrasound machines.
