Objective: This study aimed to evaluate a new W-Lan-supported ultrasound mobile technology for the diagnosis of vascular peripheral thrombosis.
Material And Methods: Fifty patients were examined by an experienced reference sonographer using high-end technology and a W-Lan supported device (VScan Air) to evaluate its diagnostic capabilities for peripheral thrombosis.
Results: Fifty patients were examined (age, 25-88 years; male, n = 27, female n = 23). Thromboses were diagnosed in the neck (n = 1), upper leg (n = 7), lower leg (n = 49), and muscle veins (n = 25). VScan Air technique also allows the diagnosis of circumscribed deep vein thrombosis with a sufficient diagnostic certainty. Moreover, for superficial thrombi that can be well-delineated, a maximum image quality is possible compared to high-end technology.
Conclusion: The mobile VScan technology opens up new possibilities for near-patient and location-independent imaging in cases of deep vein thrombosis.

Background And Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a pocket-sized ultrasound device in preoperative planning for lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) to enhance lymphedema treatment outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 24 patients who underwent LVA for secondary upper extremity lymphedema between June 2020 and August 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups: the ultrasound group, which used a pocket-sized device (Vscan Air), for preoperative vein identification, and a control group that did not.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as an essential bedside tool for clinicians, but lack of access to ultrasound equipment has been a top barrier to POCUS use. Recently, several handheld ultrasound devices ("handhelds") have become available, and clinicians are seeking data to guide purchasing decisions. Few comparative studies of different handhelds have been done.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed nine different handheld ultrasound (HHUS) devices to compare their performance in terms of B-scan quality, handling, and software features during abdominal imaging.
- Vscan Air and SonoEye Chison received the highest ratings, with significant differences from the other devices, particularly in B-scan quality and software usability.
- The findings highlight the varying performance among HHUS devices, providing insights to help clinicians choose the right device based on specific clinical needs.

Objectives: Use of handheld portable ultrasound is increasing and would improve access for people with rheumatic disease when conventional, cart-based ultrasound is unavailable. This study compared handheld and cart-based ultrasound for the assessment of gout lesions in people with gout.
Methods: The lower limbs of 21 participants with gout were independently scanned at six sites (1st and 2nd metatarsophalangeal joints, knee, patellar ligament, Achilles tendon, and peroneal tendons) using cart-based (LOGIQ P9) and handheld (Vscan Air™) ultrasound by two rheumatologists.
