Hepatology is the medical specialty devoted to liver function and the health of the gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas. The human body’s ability to process nutrients, metabolize medications, filter toxins, and regulate enzymes all rely on healthy hepatological function. Disease and abnormalities contribute to chronic, debilitating conditions that require regular monitoring. Ultrasound is increasingly useful … Continue reading
Wayne Moore 11/08/2022 In an earlier column I wrote about the reality of hospitals losing money by the bushel basketful. This is in spite of the fact that many US hospitals are armed to the teeth with internal IT systems producing an endless stream of operational data ranging from how much bread was used in … Continue reading
Tell us a little about yourself, and what is your role at Acertara? I work directly with our OEM customers to sell probe repair services as well as ultrasound systems, probes, and our test equipment. I am also responsible for overseeing the operations for accounting, acoustic power testing, engineering, human resources, manufacturing, marketing, quality, and … Continue reading
The digital age of ultrasound is changing the way physicians think about and apply sonography for critical diagnoses. Ultrasound hardware and software are evolving, and today’s technology incorporates cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) for easier, more accurate, and more powerful diagnostic imaging. Faster, clearer, more accessible ultrasound Ultrasound equipment is continuously evolving, but software innovations are … Continue reading
Point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) is among the most pivotal and universally appreciated technologies in emergency medical care. When precision matters, and every second counts, PoCUS provides the life-saving diagnostic data clinicians need. The utility of PoCUS continues to contribute to the technology’s rapid evolution. Today’s PoCUS devices are more affordable, integrated, and portable enough to go … Continue reading
In healthcare, an expedient diagnosis is fundamental to successful treatment. The faster the diagnosis, the quicker a patient’s clinical team can determine the right treatment approach. But a fast and accurate diagnosis requires tangible data, which explains why ultrasound imaging is the standard for in-depth diagnostics. Volumetric ultrasound contributes to rapid diagnoses across a wide … Continue reading
Wayne Moore 10/11/2022 Ultrasound phantoms have been around since commercially available ultrasound systems were introduced. Early phantoms were designed to verify accurate spatial geometry of embedded targets to ensure that the analog scan converters in the ultrasound system were calibrated correctly – e.g., a round target was indeed being display on the ultrasound system as … Continue reading
Tell us a little about yourself and what is your role at Acertara? My name is Aaron, and I was born and raised here in Colorado. I started interning at Acertara at the end of last school year: I evaluate ultrasound probes to determine potential issues and disposition repairs based on test results. What do … Continue reading
