The Use of a Ultra-sound of the Lung to Diagnose Lung Diseases

August 12, 2015 updated by: Echosense Ltd.

Detection and Characterization of Cardio-pulmonary Patho-physiological States and Diseases by Ultrasound Transthoracic Doppler

The study is a prospective open evaluating study of Ultrasound/Doppler application to the chest cavity intended to detect and characterize pathologies of the pulmonary and cardio-vascular system.

The system is a noninvasive non-imaging device designated to monitor flow and movement velocity and display the data continuously.
