Damage to the ducts in the pancreas are the cause of the pseudocyst. Aggressive pancreatic enzymes can thus leak into the surrounding tissue and cause damage like that. This leads to the formation of a pseudocyst, which is filled with secretions, blood and tissue debris. Since they can reach a considerable size, this will often lead to pain, nausea, vomiting and weight loss. Many doctors can give patients a synthetic, a drainage relief.

So far, this was an open abdominal surgery is required. Today, the doctors may be created by the help of an endoscope, a connection between the pseudocyst and the stomach or small intestine and create a drain. Before that must be considered, however, whether this is a true cyst as a result of cancer, as this fact can not be drained, otherwise comes to the spread of tumor cells. Through the normal endoscope, the physician can not see the pseudocyst because it is hidden behind the stomach wall. Here, the ultrasound probe has great advantages. By ultrasound, the doctor the situation and the development of a pseudocyst can assess accurately and to detect cancers typical of a cyst walls. With a fine needle, the physician may be taken in case of doubt, a sample from the cyst and to examine the Flüsigkeit. Endoscopic ultrasound with the distinction between pseudocyst and cancer as possible in up to 95% of cases.

Is the doctor sure that there is no cancer, the pseudocyst is punctured. The liquid is allowed to drain into the stomach or intestine. The doctors can detect finer structures in the vicinity of the stomach and intestines to the high-resolution images of the Endoscopic ultrasound. The duct of the pancreas and bile ducts in the liver, for example, are also included. Here, too, can be punctured by Endoscopic ultrasound. Similar to the treatment of a pseudocyst an “artificial” flow in the stomach or intestine can be created in this way.

This device would still be in the process of creation, a project that not only has the support of the European Community but also with 7.1 million directly financed by the Community institution.

As anticipated, the basis of DIAdvisor be a small wireless sensors, chip surrounded by a low Sicily, to be pasted into the body of patients and allow more data record: in addition to blood glucose, may also determine the body temperature, blood pressure and oxygen levels.

The same system will then transmit the data to the portable mobile device, which looks like a PDA or PDA.

But also we obtained this information, the device also will allow the patient to go beyond your control and up, for example, information about food that is consumed each day.

According to their own architects have emphasized, the most innovative of this device is to let you know how much insulin is needed: Keith Errey, co-founder of the project and president of Toumaz (manufacturer), highlighted the new opportunities offered to patients who so far have no ways to predict the levels of glucose and insulin they need.

It is worth mentioning, finally, that for the go live DIAdvisor still have to wait. According to estimates, within two years could just start clinical trials in real time with volunteers.

70% of world population has no access to this diagnosis, I say Zar, since it is difficult to have an MRI or scanner in a rural community where there is no electricity. Through the cell, the images may be sent to a centralized unit where specialists can analyze and diagnose.

The technology used for Windows-compatible phones, the company that funded the research with a grant of 100 000 dollars. The probes are priced at about $ 2 000 and the goal is worth $ 500, while a typical portable ultrasound machine sells for up to 30 000 dollars.

With an optional trandsuctores different types. In the basic configuration comes with a single transducer.

However, these machines are usually quite large, and the most modern “portable” is the size of a printer.

For now the GE (General Electric) has demonstrated a truly portable ultrasound system the size of a cell phone, which he calls the vscan GE Ultrasound System.

In this first generation, the device can operate for up to 1 h duration with a battery (exchangeable) integrated, and microSD cards can store images and videos, which can later be downloaded to PCs and traditional computers can even burn notes voice separately.

The standard equipment is configured for HP, OBGYN, and Abd (terms such equipment operators understand) and color Doppler support across the screen, which step can be manipulated with your fingers to issue commands and make JOINING zoom like an iPhone.

The device will be available next year at U.S. $ 10,000, and it is currently being tested in some health centers.

It is important to note that these teams started costing millions of dollars and being the size of an entire room, after hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now cost $ 10,000 and fit in the palm of the hand. A great testament to the exponential growth of technology, which incidentally causes a reduction in costs exponentially.

In the future I imagine that these devices do not use screens, but images deployed directly onto the retina of the operator with technologies like this.

The local hospital Virgen del Carmen, this year will be equipped with a portable ultrasound and mammography, as assured sources of the Health Ministry in Buenos Aires DISCUSSION.

The provision of infrastructure, to conduct timely analysis to patients, is part of the recent opening of the tender envelopes by the Provincial Government with the aim of improving the technological equipment in the hospitals.

A mammography unit is a rectangular box containing the tube that generates X-rays. The unit is used exclusively for X-ray examinations in the breast with special accessories that allow only the ma-ma will be exposed to X-rays Connected to the unit super-carriers of a device he argues and compresses the breast and positions in order to obtain images from different perspectives.

Since the ultrasound carrier arrived tiles ultrasound market, the chances of obtaining medical diagnoses were expanded its horizons in all specialties.
These devices have all the benefits of conventional ultrasound machines have, in some cases, more than 100 pounds.

The latest models feature high resolution screens of images, which makes them a more than attractive tool for work and development of diagnostic imaging.
For its malleability, the portable Delphi ecogra won, in principle, much ground in the area of medical emergencies, since they allow a diagnosis in situ without the removal or excessive patient movement.

In the scientific journal Optics Express, Optical Society’s (OSA) Open-Access stated that laser ultrasound is a device that serves to check and analyze tooth decay.

Enamel role in the reduction and replacement cycle of mineral teeth for life. That is, to know that a healthy person’s teeth can be ascertained from the high mineral content in the teeth.

If the balance disturbed the balance of the mineral content, the area will soften tooth enamel and cause tooth decay or porous.

“With a laser ultrasound, dental become faster, cheaper, and effective. This method was safe and not damage the teeth,” said one of the researchers, Hsiao-Chuan Wang from the University of Sydney, was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

Tooth enamel is the hardest part and many have the mineral content. Dental health experts say that even stronger tooth enamel compared with the bone.

The imaging device vscan, which received 510 (k) of the U.S. Agency for Medicines (Food and Drug Administration, FDA), the CE of the European Union and the licensing of medical device Health Canada, is now marketed in the United States, Europe, India and inCanada.

“To have at my disposal the vscan always allowed me to use ultrasound in a variety of settings and with patients in ways I never imagined before? The intensive care unit at the outpatient and ambulatory patients, “said Dr. Anthony N. DeMaria, Professor of Medicine, Chair Judith and Jack White in cardiology and director of the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center at the San Diego School of Medicine at the University of California. “Vscan is more than just a diagnostic tool. This portable device would help physicians make quicker treatment decisions. I think technology vscan play an important role in physical examinations. ”

It quickly inside the body using the vscan may allow doctors to detect diseases earlier. What may be most valuable in practice overloaded today, especially for primary care physicians, specialists in cardiology, intensive care and emergency and gynecology, as well as hospital doctors.

“During our initial evaluation of 100 patients about using the vscan, we were impressed by its image quality and ease of use,” said Dr. Jose L. Zamorano, a member of the European Society of Cardiology, Director of the Institute of Cardiovascular Medicine San Carlos de Madrid (Spain). “But more importantly, we have experienced in our own interest as a tool for our clinical and physical examination, which adds information relevant clinically for approximately one in four patients. ”

Vscan provides image quality that was only recently that the scope of an ultrasound console. Vscan based on graphics technology black and white high quality GE and imaging blood flow in color code embedded into a device that fits into your pocket, weighs less than 500 grams of 76 mm wide and 135 mm in length.

The vscan is an imaging device, measurement and analysis of ultrasound under control, designed for clinical applications of flow and detection of abdominal fluid, cardiology (adult and pediatrics), urology, medicine prenatal / obstetrics, pediatrics and chest / pleura and to examine patient care units front line and care.

Ultra-small sensors already exist for some time. The problem: The probes are either sent through the blood vessels or gastrointestinal investigations through the esophagus into the body and has had only one viewing direction. So there was always a rather large blind spot that could not be illuminated in major investigations.

Conventional ultrasound examinations from the outside, which will penetrate deep into the interior of the body to provide physicians with an overview on the state to procure organs, are virtually impossible because the required higher sound track to the detriment of image resolution. Therefore, ultrasound is now used primarily for pregnancy diagnosis. For deeper investigation, however, people take up much more expensive tomography.

With the new probe was developed by researchers at the University of Albuquerque in the U.S. state of New Mexico, are the “tunnel vision problems” of the past. Within a short time, the probe may, if it is swallowed as a pill, for example, more accurately provide a picture of the stomach or digestive tract. In the future, the researchers will see, however, the probe deep in the brain, to explore where the bloodstream and thereby prevent strokes or aneurysms.
