Portable, personal clinical ultrasound probes significantly improve patient care. They enable earlier, safer pre-diagnosis, and improve the relationship between professional and patient. On a hospital scale or, more generally, in terms of healthcare organization, they can also represent significant cost savings.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I learn about clinical ultrasound?
Initiation to the use of a clinical ultrasound probe is very straightforward. You will then need to take several sections of each organ to familiarize yourself with the gesture and probe positioning required to obtain quality images of the organ in question. You will also need to practice analyzing slices of both healthy and pathological organs.

echOpen offers resources to introduce you to the practice of clinical ultrasonography and the interpretation of your images.

For further training, several universities offer DU and DIU courses that train you in the practice of specialty ultrasonography.

However, no specific training or diploma is required to practice clinical ultrasound if you hold a medical doctor's diploma - including ultrasound procedures.
Which clinical ultrasound probe to choose?
We recommend that you choose an ultraportable clinical ultrasound probe to introduce you to the practice of clinical ultrasound.

Ultraportable, personal clinical ultrasound probes slip easily into your pocket and, just like your stethoscope, go everywhere with you - at the practice, during a home visit, in the ambulance...

Robust and with sufficient autonomy for a day's consultations, ultraportable clinical ultrasound probes such asechOpen O1 also have the advantage of being non-wireless, making them easier to place, hold and move. They connect to a simple smartphone, which can be used to record images, video loops and annotations.

echOpen also offers a range of digital services, including introductory modules, quizzes and a collaborative space where you can exchange with the medical community and seek advice on complex clinical cases.
What are the benefits of clinical ultrasound for doctors and patients?
Clinical ultrasound is a non-irradiating, non-invasive and painless examination, generally well tolerated by patients of all ages. This technique enables you to enhance your clinical examination, confirm or refute a diagnostic suspicion, and refer your patient more effectively to the right specialty.

The patient is reassured, and treatment is accelerated. Unnecessary, costly and even irradiating additional examinations are avoided. Numerous studies also suggest that clinical ultrasound helps to boost patient confidence in their doctor.
How much does a portable ultrasound scanner cost?
The price of portable ultrasound scanners varies widely according to brand, model and functionality, generally ranging from €3,000 to over €9,000. The echOpen ultrasound scanner sets itself apart by offering medical-grade imaging technology at a particularly affordable price. With a price tag of less than €1,000, echOpen makes portable ultrasound affordable and easily accessible to the greatest number of healthcare professionals, enabling the rapid and effective democratization of medical imaging within practices and hospital structures.
