Ultrasound is one of the most readily available versatile medical technologies. And being close to the patient and able to dynamically examine the body is one of its prime features. This allows for important qualitative information, but when it comes to quantification, to comparing the disease or lesion state to the first meeting with the patient, ultrasound fails miserably. Ultrasound measurements and their interpretation also require a much longer training.
A standardized x-ray, CT or MRI image has the advantage that you know that the 10th patient has a problem if you see something in that picture that you’ve not seen in the 9 previous ones. With ultrasound, you don’t have this kind of endorphine release.
It is because of this that we are developing the Aison Pro.
