Software + documentationWorkflow proof
What does each Primary Care workflow show visually?
Use the image cards to connect lung, abdomen, cardiac and superficial primary care workflows before comparing device specs.
Abdomen and bladder checksUse C5SH when the daily workflow is focused on convex abdominal, renal, gallbladder or bladder-depth scanning.
Lung and cardiac supportUse D3Ultra when primary care shares the scanner with bedside lung, cardiac, vascular or broader POCUS screening.
Superficial linear workflowUse L20 when primary care also needs 16/20 MHz superficial imaging for vessels, soft tissue and MSK-style targets.

FAQ
Can I use Suresult ultrasounds with minimal training?
Yes! Most primary care providers already familiar with ultrasound will find the Suresult interface intuitive and can begin scanning right away.
For new users, a basic POCUS course is usually enough to start performing primary exams. You can then gradually build skills through radiology guidelines and case-based learning.
Are the images good enough to rely on for clinical decisions?
Absolutely. Suresult delivers hospital-grade clarity, with each model equipped with 128/192 elements and over 32 channels. Multi-frequency probes and versatile arrays ensure excellent detail at both superficial and deeper levels. B-mode, Doppler, and tissue harmonic imaging combine to offer dependable results for confident decision-making.
Can I bill for ultrasound in primary care?
It depends on your region. In many countries and U.S. states, limited diagnostic ultrasound exams, such as soft tissue, abdominal, or vascular assessments, are reimbursable under specific CPT codes. We recommend checking with local billing authorities or your insurance provider to understand coverage options and proper documentation requirements for reimbursement.
What is the battery life of Suresult portable devices?
Depending on the model, expect 1.5 to 3 hours of continuous scanning per full charge. This is typically sufficient for a full clinic session or multiple patient encounters. The devices also support fast charging, allowing you to recharge during breaks and extend usage throughout longer or busier workdays.
Can I integrate images into my EMR?
Yes, Suresult devices store all images and video clips locally on your connected mobile device in DICOM format, with annotations. You can easily transfer these scans to PACS systems, or sync with EMRs via email or automatic exports through your clinic's internal software for seamless documentation.
