The past decennium has seen many technological advances but nobody had a clue that a portable ultrasound device would be their fate and inevitably the future. 
   With the beginning of the 21st century, where scientists were failing to reproduce results, only big ultrasound machines marked by a great labour to carry them into the ultrasound room, were seen. Until now in Hospital setups in private clinics or otherwise large-sized ultrasound machines are trying to spiff-up their image and are still a "yebo." These are only more expensive, complicated and confronted with a blizzard of questions. Therefore, being intentionally attentive to trivial details, substandard devices with a "price spike" and tough handling need a drastic step-down.
   The Chinese have the motherwit and gumption to be recognized as the future pioneers of technology. Consequently, delving into it has enhanced their reputation world-wide and enabled them to look into the "groupthink."
   With the invention of their brainchild, "wireless probe type B ultrasound series products," life has become easier not only for the doctors, paramedical staff but patients too. Referred to as a "game changing technology," it is doing wonders to expedite the process of scanning and simultaneously satiate many.
  The long-suffering, a life full of continuous troubles, wrongs, asperity, frustration and forbearance gave rise to the science of carrying it in a bag, purse or a pocket. 
   It might be an upstart but it could help attain greater fame through it's aggressive and prodigious use with no sitting idly without any concern whatsoever. 
   The product gives hope and triggers a frisson of discovery, as it can work anywhere, preventing individuals from making frequent visits to Radiology Departments, respectively. It's mobility is nonpareil and could provoke Radiology Centres into buying them too. Moreover, the radiologists could provide home services to the logy, valetudinarians who can't make hospital visits due to disease or disability. Their stick-to-itness and this probe could yet again be a hope for those living in remote areas where Radiology Centres are not available or feasible. It could be a good source of income for the silver-tongued who provide services, indisposing the idea of further use of the already-in-use ultrasound devices in different set-ups. 
   Change is the inexorable constant. The device is user-friendly, portable and handy. It skinkles more in the developed countries over the third world. This could be due to the ecstatic and exploring nature of the individuals from developed countries to the lack of awareness, peculiar nature and less-knowledge bearing individuals in the third world countries who should otherwise purchase the device in large numbers for their country to benefit from. This is a propitious time to use this small ultrasound device which can be attatched to both iPhone and iPad Apple devices by downloading an app by the name, "WirelessUSG," from the app store. It's over-the-top performance could further be seen through how it can also be downloaded on an Android Tablet or mobile phone and operated accordingly. The probe connected with intelligent terminal equipment operates on LAN Wifi. It also has a wireless charging function apart from connecting it to a USB charger to recharge from.
   This is not a skimble-scamble explanation. As by no surprise, the area to be probed by the ultrasound device, displays a good quality, optimized ultrasound image which can be seen on the mobile/attatched-device screen by playing with the options on screen and via buttons. This well-built probe is professional. One possibly can't flimflam with the brain behind this, as the product can be used during operations/surgeries and unlike other ultrasound devices it allows the image to be saved to one's device, emailed and scanned/printed too. It truly does not bumfuzzle and also differs in format and has a high resolution. Criticism might emanate regarding it's ability to perform, but again it's a specialized product which is multi-functional. It enables you to probe both superficially and deep with the same probe and not two separate ones, as commonly seen since the quatterocento.    
   It has opened ways and proposed a remedy for women, to efface the shame by carrying it in their bags to female patients and scan at their comfort level. Thereby, unpluggging means to be scanned by a male doctor. 
  The device is a headliner and documents it's ideas in alacrity, instructing to be saved from temperature extremes and be cleaned by paper, a soft cloth or water.
  One of the draw backs of carrying it in a pocket or a handbag is, it can be stolen from the mentioned places. And hence, could prove to be a cheery-bye in that case.
  It is however, facultative to use any usg device and consequently the mind behind the bigger ultrasound machines is not a dowfart either. But this probe is wireless and is less likely to give an inaccurate report unless used inappropriately, autoschediazed due to lack of adequate knowledge or showing laziness on part of the users, beneficiaries who footle around doing nothing and are soporific.
  For competing at a professional and amateur level, with no rhubarb, it's about time we sit with a rnold Palmer and give accolades to the inventors, manufacturers, sellers and users of the above-mentioned product world-wide.
