How does Point-of-Care Ultrasound Benefit Women’s Health?
The use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) technology in Women’s Health can increase diagnostic confidence for providers, improve efficiency, and decrease complications, therefore reducing costs overall.
Sonosite’s ultrasound systems can make common diagnostic and interventional procedures more efficient and accurate; streamlining treatment plans and reducing patient anxiety.
Increased Efficiency
For breast biopsy, use of point-of-care ultrasound guidance provided a 37% decrease in room time, and a 31% decrease in physician time, compared to stereotactic technique.1
Higher Patient Satisfaction
93% of patients were satisfied with the ultrasound-guided breast procedure.2
How is POCUS used in Women’s Health?
Sonosite works closely with endocrinologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and breast surgeons to develop customized ultrasound solutions that meet clinical requirements. Sonosite systems allow providers to confidently perform diagnostic exams, locate masses, target lesions, guide biopsies, and initiate a proper course of treatment for each patient.
Some of the ways point-of-care ultrasound is used for Women’s Health include:
- Identify thyroid nodules to determine vascularity of lesions
- Guide percutaneous needle core biopsies, ensuring more accurate sampling
- Guide fine needle aspiration of cysts, and procedural guidance so you hit your target the first time
- Perform ovarian and uterine exams, endometrium measurements
