Portable ultrasounds

Does anyone have experience using these for joint injections? Pros, cons?

I’ve heard of people using them but I don’t know anyone personally that does. It seems Clarius is popular. I’ve used a butterfly but only for superficial scanning, not for joints.

Worked with a doc that does. I would say better used for intervention for something like joints rather than diagnostic because the clarity/resolution is worse. Don't need incredible clarity to inject a GH joint or hip for example. Might not be awesome for nerve hydrodissection or injecting around finer structures.

I like the VScan, which isn't too pricey and is ~$5,000. I wouldn't do perineural stuff with it either, but can do a lot of the basics with it.
