Ultrasound represents an ideal diagnostic adjunct for medical personnel operating in austere environments, because of its increasing portability and expanding number of point-of-care applications. However, these machines cannot be used without a transmission medium that allows for propagation of ultrasound waves from transducer to patient. This article describes a novel ultrasound gel alternative that may be better suited for resource-constrained environments than standard ultrasound gel, without compromising image quality.
由于超声设备的便携性不断提高，且床旁护理应用的数量不断增加，它对于在艰苦环境中工作的医务人员而言是一种理想的诊断辅助工具。然而，如果没有一种能让超声波从换能器传播到患者身上的传输介质，这些设备就无法使用。本文介绍了一种新型超声凝胶替代品，与标准超声凝胶相比，它可能更适合资源有限的环境，同时又不影响图像质量。
