Quick answer
A handheld ultrasound for pediatrics is a wireless probe that pairs with a phone or tablet and images a child without radiation. The probe format decides the exam, and pediatric work usually starts with a linear head like the Suresult L14, at 10/14 MHz across a 25 mm footprint.
- A 10/14 MHz linear head over a 25 mm footprint covers an infant hip, a forearm bone and a lung field.
- The E11 weighs 103 g and images from 30 to 80 mm, the depth a newborn abdomen actually needs.
- Color Doppler, power Doppler, pulsed-wave Doppler, M-mode and DICOM export ship on every model on this page.
- The D3Ultra carries convex, linear and phased heads in one 263 g probe.

Technique basics
How the exam comes together, probe to report
- Pick the head by the depth the child needs
A hip, a lung field and most soft tissue in a child sit inside 80 mm, which is linear territory at 10 to 14 MHz. A school-age abdomen needs a micro-convex or convex head to reach 160 mm and beyond.
Linear 20 to 80 mm · micro-convex 60 to 160 mm - Set depth first, gain second
Start near 40 mm and let the structure fill the top half of the screen before touching gain. A shallow field needs less gain, and over-gaining an infant hip buries the cartilage.
D: 40 mm on the header 
Hold the hip in a true coronal planeAn infant hip screen is read in the coronal plane with the iliac wing straight along the top of the image. A tilted plane changes what the angle measures, so the plane is checked before any caliper is placed.
Graf method, coronal plane- Record a loop, then export it
Every model on this page stores cine loops of 100 to 1,000 frames and exports JPEG, PNG, MP4 or DICOM. A child rarely holds still, so a loop scrubbed afterwards beats a single frozen frame.

What the research says
The evidence, three studies checked
- Lung ultrasound was more sensitive than chest radiography in children.
Across 30 studies and 4,546 children, lung ultrasound reached 0.940 sensitivity and 0.855 specificity for childhood community-acquired pneumonia.
Shi et al., Pediatr Pulmonol 2024 - Bedside ultrasound was the strongest test for intussusception.
A systematic review of 13 studies in children under 18 reported that point-of-care ultrasound had a positive likelihood ratio of 19.7 and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.10 for intussusception.
Hom et al., Pediatr Emerg Care 2022 - Bedside ultrasound found skull fractures after blunt head injury.
Pooled data from seven studies and 925 children gave 91% sensitivity and 96% specificity for skull fracture on point-of-care ultrasound, with a negative predictive value of 97%.

자주 묻는 질문
Can I use Suresult handheld ultrasounds to diagnose appendicitis or pneumonia in children?
Yes. Suresult devices are equipped with high-resolution abdominal and lung presets, helping you visualize fluid buildup, inflamed organs, or bowel wall thickening—all essential for bedside diagnosis of pneumonia or appendicitis in children.
Do Suresult ultrasound devices support line placements in infants?
Absolutely. Every model offers puncture assist modes (in-plane and out-of-plane), ensuring precise guidance during line placement. The L10-Guide model even includes magnetic needle enhancement for added accuracy and safety in delicate procedures.
Are there different probes for different age groups?
Yes. Suresult systems include linear, curved, micro-curved, and phased array probes to accommodate everyone from neonates to teens. In particular, the micro-curved probe excels at deep imaging in the small bodies of children.
Do Suresult devices support Doppler imaging for pediatric cardiac cases?
Yes. All devices come with PW, CW, and spectral Doppler modes that allow accurate real-time evaluation of blood flow and structural heart anomalies, critical for congenital heart disease assessments in pediatrics.
How long does a full charge last on a Suresult ultrasound?
Most Suresult handhelds deliver 1.5 to 3 hours of continuous use on a full charge. This is typically enough to get through a busy clinic session, including mobile or school visits.
How quickly can I learn to use handheld ultrasound?
If you already have basic POCUS experience or have used traditional ultrasound, you’ll adapt quickly. For beginners, a brief introductory course or our included tutorials will get you scanning with confidence.
