This follow-up chapter will examine the strengths and limitations of major diagnostic imaging techniques, including X-ray, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound scans. Discover how these technologies are improving athlete care and performance, especially the transformative effects of portable ultrasound scanners in sports medicine.
Explore further how portable ultrasound scanners are revolutionizing injury evaluation and management in sports medicine, particularly through their applications in musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS).
Common hidden heart diseases, often referred to as “silent” cardiac conditions, include Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW Syndrome), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, and so on. The former study has revealed that about 1 in every 6 healthcare dollars is spent on cardiovascular disease.
Being much less burdensome than CPAP, oral appliance (OA) is emerging as a significant advancement in OSA care thanks to its enhanced patient compliance and salient curative effect.
The emergence of the loT System has made remote connections and data sharing remotely between systems and devices a reality. Virtual data access and management have given rise to digital health, remote patient monitoring, online nursing, etc., which are changing primary care.
POCUS is now replacing stethoscopes in emergency departments, which provides a more intuitive description of the functions and status of key parts, effectively improving the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of emergency patients,
To effectively evaluate the ability of wearable devices to monitor hypoxemia, the Oxford University research team used a variety of devices, including Viatom oximeters, to conduct studies on diagnostic accuracy. Research results show that Viatom wrist oximeters are highly accurate and reliable, and can effectively capture and record patients’ blood oxygen data, such as the duration of falls, the number of falls, etc.
