Experts recommend a dedicated ultrasound for detection especially handheld devices to speed up the diagnosis of COVID-19. There are also several new studies are now recommending the use of ultrasound for diagnosing and screening COVID-19 patients. While a CT scan may provide better detail, portable ultrasound machines are currently more portable, affordable, and easier to keep disinfected while examining large numbers of patients. For these reasons, some doctors are now recommending ultrasound be utilized for patient testing of the COVID-19 virus.

Dedicated machines are in high demand to quickly diagnose lung involvement and assist in triage for suspected Covid-19 patients.

There are two key items that are most recommended for using ultrasound to detect the Coronavirus.
1. A touchscreen interface that can be easily disinfected
2. A sector (phased array) transducer
