What does each Neurology workflow show visually?
Use the image path to match bedside POCUS, vascular overlap, procedure support and documentation needs before RFQ.
Vascular overlapUse the linear path when the workflow includes superficial vessel checks, access overlap or nerve-adjacent procedure support.
Procedure supportUse D3Ultra or D3Pro when the buyer wants phased, convex and linear coverage instead of a single-probe route.
DocumentationUse Suresult Software to save images, cine and DICOM across iOS, Android and Windows without a required subscription.

FAQ
Can I use Suresult portable ultrasounds for transcranial Doppler (TCD)?
Yes. With the low-frequency phased array probe (like Suresult CD2) and Doppler modes, you can perform TCD assessments to monitor cerebral blood flow, especially in stroke, vasospasm, or trauma cases.
Is it possible to guide nerve blocks using handheld ultrasounds?
Absolutely. Suresult devices feature real-time needle tracking, making them perfect for ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in pain management, regional anesthesia, or botulinum injections.
Is the image quality adequate for diagnosing neuromuscular disorders?
Yes. With 128+ to 192+ element probes and over 60 imaging channels, Suresult ultrasound devices can assess muscle thickness, detect fasciculations, and identify changes in conditions like ALS, myopathies, or dystrophies.
Can Suresult POCUS machines help with spinal procedures too?
Yes. Models with high-frequency linear probes are excellent for identifying superficial spinal landmarks and guiding minimally invasive or percutaneous spine procedures.
How long does it take to learn to use Suresult portable ultrasounds?
Most neurosurgeons find it intuitive. If you have basic POCUS training, you can begin scanning within hours. Built-in protocols and presets help you get comfortable quickly.
What is the process of cleaning and disinfecting the ultrasound devices for a neurosurgery setting?
All Suresult devices have sealed surfaces, are compact, and are made with medical-grade materials. You can easily use probe covers or disinfect the device itself between patients. Please visit our Quick User Guide, then click on "STEP 5: MAINTENANCE AND CARE." There, you can find our recommendations for cleaning and disinfection.
