Ultrasound with a USB Mobile

ultrasound with USB connection

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.

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.
