Philips, the Dutch technology company headquartered in Amsterdam, has decided to launch its new Lumify ultraportable smartphone or tablet powered ultrasound system in the U.S.
Ultrasound is a type of imaging that is very popular for diagnosis of many conditions. It uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs inside the body and create images for diagnosis. Clinicians use it to view the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Doctors also use ultrasound to view the fetus during pregnancy.
