- unsrsly 7y agoFrom firsthand experience, I can tell you the handheld versions make it more challenging to obtain a diagnostic quality image. Also, many of them are intended to be plugged into a personal device (like an iPhone) which I would not want to bring into a Covid patient's room. But in the right hands, they are a decent alternative to a more sophisticated ultrasound machine. They are not a "potent weapon" compared with other more expensive tech that already exists. They are just a cheaper substitute, which is a great but incremental innovation.
