ENT Ultrasound
Keep it Simple
But don't do it blind

Todd Thompson_Hand_0327.png

For the ENT, in-office ultrasound increases your patient's compliance, confidence and convenience, enhancing your patient's over all practice experience.
Carry your visualization diagnostic system with you on any and every patient encounter.

 

A heart condition is not diagnosed with only a stethoscope.
For the provider, ultrasound improves diagnostic decision making, timeliness, outcomes and enhances your practice's operating budget.
 

The EDGE 3 in 1 ENT ultrasound system is the 'Can't miss' system.
There is no reason to do your thyroid exams and FNA's simply by feel any more. 
And no reason to send them out of your office.
Even without scanning experience, your can clearly and easily visualize tissue and assure your needle reaches the tissue you want to aspirate.
Not only will you assure accuracy with visualization, the images are acquired digitally
to document the study.

Historically, in office ultrasound for the ENT has been 
complicate, cumbersome and costly.
Not any more.

Accuracy

Prior to ultrasound, free hand aspirations was the only way to aspirate tissue.  
Now that ultrasound has been simplified and is affordable, doing a free hand aspiration is the equivalent of diagnosing a heart condition with only a stethoscope.
With the simplicity of placing an ultrasound transducer on your patients neck, you can clearly visualize the full thyroid tissue.
The integrated biopsy guide line and biopsy guide insure that you accurately aspirate the specific tissue.
