Respuesta rápida
A liver ultrasound machine is a convex-array scanner that shows the liver, gallbladder and upper abdomen at the bedside.
- A convex head at 3.2/5.0 MHz reaches 300 mm, which covers a deep liver in a large adult.
- Color Doppler, power Doppler, pulsed-wave Doppler and M-mode run on the C5SH, C5SH-Pro, D3Ultra and D3Pro.
- Ultrasound identified moderate-severe fatty liver with 84.8% sensitivity and 93.6% specificity against histology.
- The D3Ultra carries convex, linear and phased formats in one 192-element probe, so abdominal and superficial work share a device.

Longitudinal liver on the D3Ultra
The reference hepatic view, labeled on screen in German as a longitudinal liver section. Gain and depth are set on this window before anything else in the exam.

Subcostal liver window on the D3Ultra
The same buyer took the liver from below the costal margin at 3.2 MHz, where portal branches and the hepatic surface come into the sector. A lower transmit frequency buys penetration.

Splenic vein with the depth scale at 300 mm
The same session pushed the convex head to its full depth, with the screen label reading splenic vein. Depth is the specification that decides whether a large abdomen is scannable at all.

Technique basics
How the exam comes together, probe to report
- Start with the convex head.
The liver, gallbladder and upper abdomen all sit deep, so a 3.2/5.0 MHz convex probe is the first choice rather than a linear one.
Convex 3.2/5.0 MHz - Set 160 mm, then go deeper when the liver runs off screen.
Most hepatic views sit inside 160 mm. The C5SH, C5SH-Pro and D3Ultra convex heads are specified to 300 mm, which is what a large abdomen needs.
D: 160 mm, then D: 300 mm on the header - Sweep the liver in two planes, then find the gallbladder.
A longitudinal sweep followed by a subcostal fan covers the parenchyma. The gallbladder is then taken in long axis against the liver.
Two planes, then the gallbladder - Add Doppler where the question needs it.
Color shows whether a hepatic vessel is patent, pulsed-wave Doppler puts a velocity on it, and power Doppler raises sensitivity to slow flow.

What the research says
The evidence, three studies checked
- Ultrasound detects moderate-severe fatty liver against histology.
Across 49 studies and 4,720 participants, ultrasound identified moderate-severe fatty liver with 84.8% sensitivity and 93.6% specificity, compared with histology. The area under the summary ROC curve was 0.93.
Hernaez et al., Hepatology 2011 - Bedside scanning for gallstones held up outside radiology.
In a review of eight studies covering 710 patients, bedside ultrasound performed by emergency physicians detected cholelithiasis with 89.8% sensitivity and 88.0% specificity.
Ross et al., Acad Emerg Med 2011 - A hand-held device changed treatment in one patient in five.
In 86 acute geriatric patients screened with a hand-held device alongside a high-end system, findings with therapeutic consequences appeared in 20 patients, or 23.2%. Gallstones were the most common finding at 32.6% and fatty liver followed at 26.7%.

Before you buy
Qué comprobar antes de comprar
What is the best handheld ultrasound machine for liver imaging?
For daily liver and gallbladder work the Suresult C5SH is the strongest fit: a 192-element convex head specified to 300 mm with color Doppler. The C5SH-Pro carries the same format on 256 elements. For a clinic that also scans lungs and vessels, the D3Ultra adds linear and phased formats.
Which ultrasound probe is used for the liver?
The liver is scanned with a convex probe at 3.2/5.0 MHz, which trades resolution for penetration. A linear probe at 7.5/10 MHz is used for the abdominal wall and superficial structures, not for hepatic parenchyma.
Can a handheld ultrasound show fatty liver?
Yes. Hernaez and colleagues reported in Hepatology in 2011 that ultrasound identified moderate-severe fatty liver with 84.8% sensitivity and 93.6% specificity against histology.
Can a handheld ultrasound find gallstones?
Yes. In eight studies covering 710 emergency patients, bedside ultrasound detected cholelithiasis with 89.8% sensitivity and 88.0% specificity. The gallbladder is imaged in long axis against the liver.
How deep does a handheld convex probe reach?
The Suresult C5SH, C5SH-Pro and D3Ultra convex heads are specified to 300 mm. A buyer capture taken on a Suresult D3Ultra carries a 300 mm depth scale on its header.
How much does a liver ultrasound machine cost?
A Suresult abdominal handheld costs between $1,581 and $4,185, with software included. Clarius publishes the C3 HD3 at $3,795, Butterfly publishes the iQ3 at $3,899, and GE lists the Vscan Air CL starting at $4,999.
Does a handheld scanner do color Doppler on hepatic vessels?
Yes. Color Doppler, power Doppler and pulsed-wave Doppler run on the C5SH, C5SH-Pro, D3Ultra, D3Pro, D3L and D3. A Suresult D3Ultra hepatic color-Doppler capture was recorded at a color PRF of 0.8 kHz.
Can a handheld scanner guide a paracentesis?
The Doppler models carry in-plane and out-of-plane puncture guides on screen, and the C5SH, C5SH-Pro and D3Ultra add needle enhancement. A reusable convex needle guide is listed as a separate accessory. Procedure practice stays the clinician's decision.
What is the real five-year cost of a liver scanner?
Add the device price to five years of any membership fee. The Clarius Essentials membership at $695 a year reaches $3,475 by year five, and Butterfly's Core plan adds $1,495. Suresult abdominal models carry no subscription.
Is a handheld device accurate enough for an abdominal screen?
In 86 acute geriatric patients screened with a hand-held device alongside a high-end system, findings with therapeutic consequences appeared in 23.2% of patients. Gallstones were the most common finding at 32.6%.
Should a gastroenterologist replace the cart machine with a handheld?
A handheld answers focused questions: liver texture, gallbladder appearance, free fluid and vessel patency. Elastography, contrast-enhanced studies and endoscopic ultrasound stay on other equipment.
What is the difference between the C5SH and the C5SH-Pro?
The C5SH carries 192 elements and the C5SH-Pro carries 256, both across 64 channels. Frequency, the 90-300 mm depth range, imaging modes and export formats are identical.
Can a handheld ultrasound image the bowel?
The convex head shows bowel gas, distended loops and free fluid between loops at 3.2/5.0 MHz. The Suresult media library holds no bowel capture, so no bowel image accompanies this answer.
Which platforms run the software?
iOS, Android and Windows all run Suresult software over a dual-band 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi link. An existing phone or tablet works as the display.
Does a Suresult abdominal scanner export into the record?
Yes. Every abdominal model exports JPEG, PNG, MP4 and DICOM, and stores cine loops of 100 to 1,000 frames on the connected device.
