Yes, I have worked with the TERASON. it is a serious machine with special
software on the PC.
This new one does not seem to be a professional machine, but then I have not
really seen any more than what is below.

Yikes! I read one of the comments in the discussion at the bottom of the
article.
"I've thought they needed a personal ultrasound/echo type device for while
now and this is perfect. How long until it is marketed towards women so they
can do an ultrasound of their breast to check for lumps and then email the
file to their doc/radiologist for interpretation? "
Once again, these folks believe sonography is simple. The ability to
recognize a breast lesion in order to take make an image to send to anyone
is not simple and requires a lot of skill and knowledge.

<http://www.medgadget.com/archives/2005/11/the_ubiquitous.html> The
Ubiquitous Echo
Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
(AIST) is reporting that a novel portable echo machine, dubbed Ubiquitous
Echo, was developed through joint research between AIST and the Hiroshima
Institute of Technology. The device is essentially an echo probe that
connects to a laptop, so there is no echo machine per se:
The unit can be used in health care or beauty facilities, or even in the
home, to visualize the key components of the body (muscles, bones,
subcutaneous fat) and give fat and muscle measurements. It is hoped that
this technology will help to prevent elderly people from being confined to
their beds.
Users connect Ubiquitous Echo to their personal computers and use the
included software to collect detailed information about specific parts of
the body. The ultrasonic echography equipment traditionally used in medical
examinations is prohibitively expensive and too large to be used by health
care and beauty facilities or in the home. This new machine is small,
lightweight, and inexpensive and can even be put into a bag along with a
laptop computer and carried around.
Watch out, echo manufacturers! The time is running short before we have
fully functional miniaturized echo probes (with color Doppler, CW/PW,
M-mode, etc, etc)--no machine is required, thank you very much. Great news,
indeed.
