POCUS, Point Of Care Ultrasound, is a portable handheld ultrasound device which has
changed the way we practice medicine and treat patients. The POCUS exam is performed in the consultation room by a treating healthcare professional who interprets the ultrasound images immediately.

 

POCUS can be attached to an iPAD screen and used to diagnose a wide variety of conditions including gallstones, fractures, and aortic aneurysms. It can also be used to measure heart function in conditions such as chronic heart failure.

​

Dr Joe Curran has recently completed POCUS training in the use of our newly purchased
Butterfly iQ+ Portable Ultrasound device and hopes to offer this very valuable service to
patients in the near future.
