Vascular ultrasound machines use sound waves to evaluate blood flow through vessels to the body’s tissues and organs and  identify blockages or clots in arteries and veins. Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging solution free from ionizing radiation that supplies important soft tissue imaging.

Diagnostic imaging at the point of care means a clinician is no longer required to move a patient from room to room or send a patient to another location for an ultrasound scan. Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) not only makes a patient more comfortable during an examination but is an extremely powerful diagnostic tool that speeds up the process of diagnosing medical issues.

National Ultrasound’s expert team, made up of experienced sonographers, has highlighted four units from entry, mid, high and flagship levels.
