Butterfly Network<\/strong>, a company based in Connecticut, finally won the CE mark and is releasing in Europe its Butterfly iQ portable ultrasound system. The product consists of a transducer that plugs right into an iPhone or iPad via the Lightning port, and uses a matching app to display live images, change settings, and review previously obtained scans.<\/p>\n

The \u201cultrasound-on-chip\u201d\u00a0ultra wide band matrix array makes within the Butterfly iQ lets it work as though it has three different transducers built-in. A clinician can now perform a variety of scans using this one portable device, and since it can be taken just about anywhere, this may be one of the most versatile ultrasounds on the market.<\/p>\n

Within the transducer component, the matrix array of microelectromechanical (MEMS) sensors is a part of an integrated circuit that contains all the necessary electronics. This tight integration supposedly results in a fast, high-resolution device that can perform tasks that only full size ultrasound machines were capable just a few short years ago. The company compares its technology to how photo camera sensors have been integrated within smartphones, enabling anyone to have high quality photo imaging in their pocket.<\/p>\n

The device is already available in the United States, for an impressively cheap sub-$2,000 price, and the company is now taking pre-orders in the EU and some other qualifying countries.<\/p>\n
