Quick answer
A portable cardiac ultrasound machine is a phased-array imaging system that shows the heart through the rib spaces, so a clinician can assess pump function, pericardial fluid and volume status at the bedside. Handheld phased-array probes such as the Suresult CD2, PD2 and D3Ultra now cover the parasternal, apical and subcostal windows that once needed a cart echo system.
- Phased array through the ribs: a 2.2–3.6 MHz sector head with 19–30 cm of depth
- Color, PW and M-mode on every scanner; continuous-wave Doppler on the PD2 for high valve velocities
- Lung and IVC on the same probe: B-lines and caval collapse for volume status

Captured on five Suresult phased-array handhelds, seven of the eight by their owners: a D3Pro clip shared by its owner on YouTube, CD2 and PD1 clips from 2026 buyer submissions, and D3Ultra captures from a dialysis unit and a German practice. The color-flow frame is a Suresult reference-library scan. On-screen headers are demo entries, not patient data.
Parasternal2 windows
D3Pro의 흉골측 장축 단면
The reference view: left ventricle, mitral and aortic valves and the left atrium in one plane, captured on a D3Pro and shared by its owner on YouTube. Gain and depth are set here before any other window.
CD2에서 M-모드를 적용한 장축 단면
A parasternal long-axis sector with the M-mode trace running below it, recorded from the app on a CD2. M-mode times wall and valve motion against a scale.
Apical2 windows
PD1의 정단부 4실 구조
All four chambers from the apex on the dedicated phased-array PD1, 16 cm depth. The window for a visual ejection-fraction estimate and for comparing the two ventricles.
D3Ultra의 상단 창
An apical cine loop from a D3Ultra owner, saved as a 200-frame clip in the app. The same probe that covers abdomen and lines on other days.
Subcostal & IVC2 windows
D3Ultra에서 확인된 심낭 삼출액
A large effusion around the heart in a dialysis patient, captured live on a D3Ultra at 19 cm depth. The finding that most changes management at the bedside.
D3Ultra에서 보이는 하대정맥
The IVC entering the right atrium, labeled on screen by a German buyer on his D3Ultra. Caval size and collapse read volume status before fluids are given.
Doppler & lung2 windows
심장 프리셋의 컬러 도플러
Color flow inside the sector on a D3Ultra: 12 cm depth, PRF 5 kHz on the on-screen header. Direction and turbulence across a valve at a glance.
D3Ultra에서 관찰되는 폐 B-라인
Vertical B-lines in a patient with acute pulmonary edema, captured on the same D3Ultra. Lung water is part of the cardiac exam on a handheld.

Technique basics
How a bedside echo comes together on a handheld
- Start with a phased-array head.
Cardiac windows sit between the ribs; the small phased footprint gets through where a convex head cannot.
Phased array, 2.2–3.6 MHz - Cardiac preset, 16 cm to start.
Select the Cardiac preset and 16 cm of depth, then bring the depth up once the ventricle fills the sector.
D: 160 mm on the PD1 header - Parasternal first, then apical, then subcostal.
Long axis for gain and valves, short axis for wall motion, apical for four chambers, subcostal for effusion and the IVC.
Four windows, one probe - Add Doppler where the question needs it.
Color shows flow across a valve, pulsed-wave Doppler puts a velocity on it, M-mode times the motion; the PD2 adds continuous-wave Doppler for high-velocity jets.

What the research says
The evidence for handheld cardiac ultrasound
- Ejection fraction tracked the cart machine.
In 349 patients scanned both ways, ejection fraction from a hand-held scanner differed from high-end echocardiography by a mean of 1.8%, with limits of agreement of ±8.3%. No pericardial effusion and no valve stenosis was missed.
Prinz & Voigt, J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2011 - Ten minutes at the bedside changed diagnoses.
Among 196 patients admitted to a medical department, a pocket-sized cardiac and abdominal screen of under ten minutes changed the primary diagnosis in 18.4% and added an important second diagnosis in 9.2%. The cardiac half averaged 4.3 minutes.
Mjølstad et al., Eur J Intern Med 2012 - In a cardiologist’s hands it beat the physical exam.
Of 142 patients with an abnormality on standard echocardiography, handheld ultrasound read by cardiologists identified 117 of them (82%) against 67 (47%) for physical examination, and 71% versus 31% for substantial valve disease.

Before you buy
What to check before buying a portable cardiac ultrasound machine
가장 좋은 휴대용 심장 초음파 기기는 무엇인가요?
심장학 및 중환자 치료 분야에서는 Suresult CD2가 가장 적합합니다. 이 제품은 심초음파 검사용 위상 배열 프로브와 중심정맥관 검사용 192소자 선형 프로브를 갖추고 있습니다. 판막 속도가 중요한 경우, PD2는 연속파 도플러 기능을 제공합니다. 초음파 검사가 여러 검사 중 하나에 불과한 진료 환경에서는 D3Ultra가 위상형, 볼록형, 선형 헤드를 하나의 프로브에 모두 갖추고 있습니다.
심장 초음파 검사를 하려면 위상 배열 프로브가 필요한가요?
예, 늑골 사이에서 영상을 촬영하는 흉골측 및 심첨부 창에 해당합니다. 위상 배열(phased array)은 설치 면적이 작고 촬영 각도가 넓어, 이러한 창에 적합합니다. 볼록형 프로브는 늑하 창과 하대정맥(IVC)까지 촬영할 수 있으므로, D3 제품군에는 두 가지 유형이 모두 포함되어 있습니다.
Can a handheld ultrasound estimate ejection fraction?
A handheld gives a visual ejection-fraction estimate from the parasternal and apical windows, with M-mode and calipers on screen. A 2011 study of 349 patients found hand-held EF estimates within 2% of high-end echocardiography on average. It is a focused assessment, not a full quantitative echo.
How much does a portable cardiac ultrasound machine cost?
A Suresult phased-array handheld costs between $2,139 and $2,976, with software included and duties in the checkout price. Competing handhelds list at $3,795–$4,999 before subscription fees.
What is the real five-year cost?
Add the device price to five years of any membership fee, then add import duties if the list price is US-only. Clarius’s $695/year membership is $3,475 by year five; Butterfly’s required plan adds $1,495–$2,100. Suresult scanners carry no subscription.
Can a handheld see a pericardial effusion?
Yes. The atlas on this page includes a large effusion captured live on a D3Ultra, and in the 2011 comparison study no effusion was missed by the hand-held scanner. Effusion and tamponade physiology are core cardiac point-of-care questions.
Does the same probe do lung and IVC?
Yes. The phased head images lung B-lines and the IVC as well as the heart, and the atlas shows both on a D3Ultra. Volume status, lung water and pump function can be read in one bedside pass.
Is a handheld good enough for cardiac POCUS, or do I need a cart echo?
A handheld covers focused cardiac ultrasound: pump function, effusion, volume status and gross valve disease. A comprehensive echocardiogram with strain, full Doppler quantification or transesophageal imaging stays on a cart system.
Which handheld has continuous-wave Doppler?
The Suresult PD2. Pulsed-wave Doppler on the other models measures normal flow velocities; continuous-wave Doppler is needed for the high-velocity jets of aortic stenosis or significant regurgitation, and the PD2 carries it in real time.
Does it export cine loops and DICOM?
Yes. Every Suresult scanner saves cine loops and still frames in the app and exports as DICOM or MP4, so a bedside echo can go into the record or a teaching file without a cart.
Which Suresult model suits cardiology, intensive care or primary care?
Cardiology and intensive care with line placement: the CD2. Valve assessment with high-velocity jets: the PD2, the handheld here with continuous-wave Doppler. Mixed practice with abdomen and lung: the D3Ultra or D3Pro. Echo only on a tight budget: the PD1.

자주 묻는 질문
Does Suresult handheld ultrasound support real-time measurements like ejection fraction or IVC collapsibility?
Absolutely. Suresult models carry on-screen calipers and M-mode, so EF, IVC collapsibility and fractional shortening are measured at the bedside.
Is Color Doppler available in handheld cardiac ultrasound devices?
Yes. Suresult includes Color and PW Doppler modes for evaluating valvular regurgitation, stenosis, and flow patterns across chambers and vessels.
Can I use a Suresult handheld device in code blue or cardiac arrest situations?
Definitely. Its rapid boot-up time and portability make it ideal for code blue scenarios, allowing quick assessment of PEA, tamponade, or RV strain.
How accurate is a handheld echo compared to a full TTE machine?
While it will not replace a full echocardiography system for advanced quantification, a 2011 study of 349 patients found handheld ejection-fraction estimates within a mean 1.8% of high-end echocardiography, with no pericardial effusion missed.
Does the device integrate with cardiology reporting software or EMRs?
Yes. You can securely transfer scans to PACS or EMR systems through Wi-Fi or a wired connection with annotations.
Is it suitable for cardiac imaging in rural or emergency settings?
Absolutely. Compact, battery-powered, and wireless, Suresult is ideal for EMS teams, rural clinics, or humanitarian missions, where rapid, reliable cardiac imaging is critical.
