Portable Ultrasound Bladder Scanner  Portable ultrasound bladder scanners have emerged as an effective diagnostic tool that can be used at the bedside. These battery-powered, hand-held devices allow clinicians to non-invasively measure bladder volume in real-time. With advances in ultrasound technology, modern portable bladder scanners are smaller, more affordable and easier to use than traditional cart-based units. What is an Ultrasound Bladder Scanner? An ultrasound bladder scanner uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the bladder and measure its volume. It consists of a transducer probe that transmits and receives ultrasound pulses. When the probe is placed over the lower abdomen, the pulses pass through the body tissues and bounce off the bladder. The reflected pulses are detected by the probe and processed by the machine's computer to develop a real-time image of the bladder on its display screen. By tracing the bladder outline, the scanner instantly calculate...
