Building on their existing partnership to promote safer ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc. and Medovate, will showcase their combined solution and sponsor educational and training sessions at the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA) 46th Annual Meeting. Mercury Medical, the primary US distributor of Medovate’s SAFIRA™ (SAFer Injection for Regional Anesthesia) will join the two companies in highlighting the importance of using ultrasound-guidance with SAFIRA to improve patient safety and clinical efficiency during regional anesthesia procedures.
Discover the new SONIMAGE HS2, complete with superior image quality that enhances signal penetration, improves resolution and increases color flow sensitivity allowing for detailed musculoskeletal tissue differentiation and detection of small structures.
Ultrasound imaging shows promise as a painless way to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, according to the findings of a small study published on September 11 in Academic Radiology. A combination of ultrasound features produced high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the study.
Free Webinar. Improve Patient Care and Increase Revenue with Ultrasound and Orthobiologics.
Speaker: Jason Rand, PA – Jason is an Orthopedic PA from Boston Spine & Shoulder Center
A discussion on how ultrasound and orthobiologics add value to patient care and to an orthopedic practice. Learn how ultrasound can diagnosis MSK abnormalities, provide needle guidance, be a ‘first choice’ imaging modality over MRI and fluoroscopy, aid in patient retention, and help manage chronic pain during a time when some elective surgeries are postponed.
As the Covid-19 pandemic reshapes how medicine is practiced in the U.S., one iconic tool could be relegated to the dustbin of medical history: the stethoscope. For generations, there has been no better physician archetype than the quintessential black rubber stethoscope donned confidently over a crisp white coat.
Lung ultrasound gained a leading position in the last year as an imaging technique for the assessment and management of patients with acute respiratory failure. In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), its role may be of further importance because it is performed bedside and may limit chest X-ray and the need for transport to radiology for computed tomography (CT) scan.
The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to 185 countries with over 2.1 million confirmed cases and 145,000 deaths, as per the Johns Hopkins University COVID-19 dashboard provided at https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html. Imaging modalities such as chest radiography, thoracic and cardiovascular ultrasound, and computed tomography have roles in the diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and therapy of COVID-19. However, the potential benefits of imaging need to be balanced against resource utilization and infectious risk.

I work at one of Philadelphia’s biggest hospitals, where we’re starting to see a surge in COVID-19 cases, and we’ve been able to adapt this common technology to more quickly diagnose coronavirus than using other techniques.
