Ecógrafo portátil para el sistema musculoesquelético, de eficacia demostrada en exploraciones reales de tendones y articulaciones
Achilles to carpal tunnel: nine musculoskeletal windows captured on Suresult handhelds, with the MSK preset and the puncture guide visible on screen. Entry into high-frequency linear imaging with color and pulsed-wave Doppler starts at $2,139, software included, no subscription.
Respuesta rápida
A portable MSK ultrasound machine is a high-frequency linear scanner that shows tendons, ligaments, nerves and joint surfaces at the bedside. The diagnosis and the guided injection then happen in one visit — no second appointment.
- Two frequency families cover musculoskeletal work: the L14Pro runs 10/14 MHz to 80 mm, the L20Pro runs 16/20 MHz to 40 mm.
- Puncture guides ship on every Suresult linear model, and needle enhancement ships on the L14Pro, L20Pro, L10SH, L10H, L20 and D3Ultra.
- The app holds a live image beside a frozen one, so the painful side is read against the healthy side.
- Color Doppler and pulsed-wave Doppler ship on the L14, L14Pro, L20, L20Pro, L10H, L10SH and D3Ultra, so the vessel beside the target is found first.

Technique basics
How the exam comes together, probe to report
- Start with a high-frequency linear head.
Most MSK targets sit within 40 mm of the skin. A linear array at 10 MHz or higher resolves tendon fibers and nerve fascicles that a convex head blurs.
Linear, 10/14 MHz or 16/20 MHz - Select the MSK preset and 40 mm of depth.
The MSK preset opens with compound imaging on. Bring depth down toward 20 mm once the tendon or nerve fills the near field, and raise gain for a deep hip target.
D: 40 mm, F: H10.0 MHz on the app header - Scan the healthy side and freeze the comparison.
The app holds one image live beside a frozen frame. Asymmetry is what separates a thickened tendon from a thick tendon, and the comparison stays on screen while scanning.
LIVE and FREEZE side by side - Plan the needle before it moves.
The puncture guide draws the trajectory with a position and an angle on screen. Color Doppler marks the vessel to avoid, and needle enhancement brightens the shaft in plane.

What the research says
The evidence, three studies checked
- Ultrasound was accurate for full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
A 2015 meta-analysis reported sensitivity and specificity above 0.90 for ultrasound, MRI and MR arthrography in full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
Roy et al., Br J Sports Med 2015 - Ultrasound guidance placed more joint injections accurately.
In 184 patients with inflammatory arthritis, a trainee using ultrasound guidance placed 83% of joint injections accurately, against 66% for senior rheumatologists guided by clinical examination.
Cunnington et al., Arthritis Rheum 2010 - A pocket-sized handheld identified shoulder pathology.
In 10 patients referred for shoulder ultrasound, two independent reviewers reading pocket-sized handheld images matched the standard ultrasound diagnosis in 7 and 8 cases.

Lo que hay que tener en cuenta antes de comprar un ecógrafo portátil para la obtención de imágenes MSK
Before you buy
Qué comprobar antes de comprar
¿Cuál es el mejor ecógrafo portátil para el sistema musculoesquelético?
En medicina deportiva y ortopedia, el Suresult L14Pro es la opción más adecuada. Su cabezal de 10/14 MHz alcanza los 80 mm, lo que permite cubrir el tendón de Aquiles y el manguito rotador. Para obtener detalles de los tendones superficiales y las articulaciones pequeñas, el L20Pro funciona a 16/20 MHz. En los casos en que la ecografía musculoesquelética (MSK) comparta la sonda con exploraciones abdominales o pulmonares, el D3Ultra cuenta con un transductor lineal y otro convexo.
¿Se necesitan 14 MHz o 20 MHz para la ecografía musculoesquelética?
La frecuencia aporta resolución, pero resta profundidad. Una sonda de 16/20 MHz, como la L20Pro, permite obtener imágenes desde los 10 mm hasta los 40 mm, lo que resulta adecuado para los tendones de los dedos, las cápsulas de las articulaciones pequeñas y los nervios superficiales. Una sonda de 10/14 MHz, como la L14Pro, alcanza los 80 mm, lo que resulta adecuado para un hombro o una bursa profunda. La mayoría de las consultas generales de medicina musculoesquelética comienzan con una frecuencia de 10/14 MHz.
¿Cuánto cuesta un ecógrafo para el sistema musculoesquelético?
Un escáner lineal Suresult con Doppler en color y Doppler de onda pulsada cuesta entre $2.139 y $3.720, con el software incluido y los aranceles aduaneros ya incorporados en el precio final. Cifras publicadas de la competencia, sin incluir ninguna suscripción: $3.795 para el Clarius L15 HD3 y $5.395 para el Clarius L20 HD3. El Butterfly iQ3 tiene un precio de catálogo de $3.899 y el GE Vscan Air CL, a partir de $4.999.
¿Puede una ecografía portátil sustituir a una resonancia magnética para evaluar un problema del manguito rotador?
En el caso de una rotura de todo el grosor del manguito rotador, la ecografía resulta precisa. Un metaanálisis de 2015 publicado en *Br J Sports Med* reveló una sensibilidad y una especificidad superiores a 0,90 para la ecografía, la resonancia magnética y la artrografía por resonancia magnética en las roturas de todo el grosor. Las roturas parciales y la tendinopatía mostraron una sensibilidad menor, entre 0,67 y 0,83, en las tres modalidades. Los autores concluyeron que, teniendo en cuenta la precisión, el coste y la seguridad, la ecografía es la mejor opción.
¿Muestra el dispositivo portátil la aguja durante una inyección guiada?
Sí. Un dispositivo portátil Suresult muestra en pantalla la posición y el ángulo de la guía de punción, de modo que la trayectoria queda definida antes de que la aguja se mueva. Todos los modelos lineales de Suresult incluyen guías en el plano y fuera del plano, así como una cuadrícula superpuesta. La función de realce de la aguja, que ilumina el vástago a lo largo del haz, viene incluida en los modelos L14Pro, L20Pro, L10SH, L10H, L20 y D3Ultra.
¿Mejora realmente la precisión de la inyección la guía ecográfica?
Mejoró la precisión en un ensayo aleatorizado en el que participaron 184 pacientes con artritis inflamatoria. Un reumatólogo en formación, con guía ecográfica, realizó 83% inyecciones con precisión, frente a las 66% de los reumatólogos con más experiencia que se guiaban por el examen clínico. En el mismo ensayo no se observaron diferencias en la evolución de los síntomas a corto plazo entre ambos grupos.
Which model reaches the shoulder and the hip?
The L14Pro reaches 80 mm at 10/14 MHz, which covers the supraspinatus and the subacromial space in most adults. For a deeper hip the L10SH and the L10H both step to 100 mm on a 40 mm linear footprint. The D3Ultra adds a convex head that reaches 300 mm for a pericapsular hip view.
Is the image good enough for the Achilles tendon?
The Achilles sits 5 mm to 20 mm below the skin, which a 10 MHz linear array resolves at 20 mm depth. A Suresult handheld records the tendon in long axis with the fibrillar pattern running the length of the screen. Calipers in the app put a thickness number on it.
Can I compare the injured side with the healthy side?
Yes. The Suresult app holds a live image beside a frozen frame, so the contralateral side stays on screen while scanning continues. Asymmetry is what separates a pathologically thickened tendon from a naturally thick one, and the comparison is saved as one frame.
What is the real five-year cost of an MSK handheld?
Add the device price to five years of any membership fee, then add import duties where the list price is US-only. The Clarius Essentials membership at $695 per year reaches $3,475 by year five. Butterfly's Advanced plan at $420 per year reaches $2,100. Suresult scanners carry no subscription.
Can a handheld see a joint effusion or a popliteal cyst?
Yes. A popliteal cystic structure measuring 29.8 mm by 15.9 mm was recorded on a Suresult D3Ultra at 10 MHz. Anechoic fluid inside a joint recess or a bursa is one of the clearest findings on a high-frequency linear probe.
Does it export images and cine loops for the patient record?
Yes. Every Suresult scanner on this page saves stills and cine loops of 100 to 1,000 frames, and exports as DICOM, JPEG, PNG or MP4. Export is part of the included software, so no plan upgrade is needed to put a scan into the record.
Which Suresult model suits a physiotherapy or sports clinic?
A physiotherapy or sports clinic scanning tendons and ligaments daily is served by the L14Pro, which pairs 10/14 MHz with a 4-hour scanning battery. A clinic that does not need 256 elements can start with the L14 at 192 elements, and add the L20Pro later when superficial detail becomes the limit.
What frequency, depth and element count does the L14Pro give?
The Suresult L14Pro is a linear probe at 10/14 MHz with depth steps of 20, 40, 60 and 80 mm across a 25 mm footprint. It holds 256 elements on 64 channels, with B-mode, color Doppler, power Doppler, pulsed-wave Doppler and M-mode, and weighs 145 g.

PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES
Sí. Los modelos con sondas lineales de alta frecuencia proporcionan imágenes detalladas de estructuras superficiales, ideales para evaluar el manguito de los rotadores, el tendón de Aquiles, el ligamento rotuliano y zonas similares.
Absolutely. All models include an in-plane & out-of-plane puncture assistance function to improve injection accuracy and safety. MSK-focused versions like the Guía L10H también ofrecen un seguimiento visualizado de la aguja, lo que resulta especialmente útil en casos anatómicamente difíciles.
No del todo. Suresult es excelente para la evaluación en tiempo real de lesiones tendinosas, bursitis y derrames a pie de cama, lo que a menudo reduce la necesidad de recurrir a la RM. Pero la RM sigue siendo el patrón oro, y es posible que siga necesitándola para un diagnóstico avanzado.
Muy. Los dispositivos Suresult están fabricados con materiales de alta calidad, se han sometido a pruebas de caídas y tienen una clasificación de resistencia al agua y al polvo. Están diseñados para soportar el uso diario en rondas, líneas de banda o en entornos de atención móvil.
