Philips today announced the microTEE, the world’s smallest ultrasonic probe for the so-called draft transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), a special procedure for cardiac imaging in neonates.

From now on risky procedures can be performed on the heart of a baby having a better visual inspection, since an intervention can now be monitored throughout the whole course using ultrasound imaging. With their only 7.5 millimeters in diameter is microTEE only about one third as large as previous pediatric TEE probes. Especially the smallest and most vulnerable patients will benefit from this great technological progress.

The thin, flexible tube is inserted into the esophagus and positioned accurately by the examining physician. Its proximity to the heart of the upper digestive tract makes it the ideal starting point for the cardiac ultrasound. From there, the presentation of cardiac structures and the large proximal cardiac vessels is largely trouble free. Thus arise during a surgical high-resolution images of the heart, without affecting the air in the lungs or ribs imaging.

IMADES OF ULTRASONIC PROBES/

So far, the patients in whom it came after a severe inflammation of the pancreas to accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity – so-called pseudocysts – had to be frequently operated. However, it is now possible to drain the fluid from the pseudo-cysts in the stomach or small intestine. With the help of a gastroscope (stomach tube) is the puncture. As the Journal of Gastroenterology 2008, 46 reports the success rate is now even with newer devices that are equipped with an ultrasonic probe increased.

Researchers developed a system for performing ultrasound with cell attached to a small tube through a USB device. The system could become “essential computer in the developing world, where medical personnel prepared scarce, but most of the population, up to 90%, have access to mobile phone masts,” said one of its inventors , the American engineer William D. Richard.

GE Healthcare announced today the availability of vscan, a new visualization tool pocket developed to provide physicians a means of imaging at the point of care. From the approximate size of a smartphone vscan incorporates a powerful ultrasound technology which uses clever hands of doctors means immediate and non-invasive to obtain visual information about what happens to the inside the body. Vscan is portable and easily transported from room to room to be used in many clinical settings, hospitals or primary care.
