The use of a pocked-sized, wireless-Bluetooth ultrasound portable system with display images presented on a tablet facilitated the work of our radiologists during the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to perform diagnostic and interventional procedures in bedridden patients. The device is equipped with a battery-powered probe without cables that transmits images to a tablet (or a cell phone) through a dedicated App. We hypothesise in future to extend diagnostic and low-complexity interventional procedures from hospitalised patients to at-home patients who are not able to mobilise out of bed or are difficult to transport. This domiciliary service might also reduce the overhead of hospital accesses.
使用口袋大小、无线蓝牙超声便携系统，将显示图像呈现在平板电脑上，方便我们的放射科医生在 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）第一波疫情期间，为卧床患者进行诊断和介入操作。该设备配备了一个带电池的探头，没有电缆，通过专用的应用程序将图像传输到平板电脑（或手机）。我们推测，未来将把诊断和低复杂性的介入操作从住院患者扩展到不能下床或难以转运的在家患者。这种居家服务也可能减少医院就诊的开销。
