When having high blood pressure, abdominal bruit or previous kidney problems, it is a must to have a renal arteries and veins visualization.

Phlebotomy can also be used in the treatment of different medical conditions such as: Hemochromatosis, olycythemia vera, porphyria cutanea tarda, sickle cell disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, etc.
Airway Assessment is a procedure done to manage patient airway problems (Failure to oxygenate, Failure to ventilate, failure to maintain a patent airway…). The prediction of difficult mask ventilation (DMV) is a challenging procedure, this is why the Ultrasound Scanner is a helpful tool in the prediction of these difficulties.

IV access consists of the insertion of a needle into the vein in order to extract blood for sampling or to inject medical fluids or infusions
Using the Doppler ultrasound, it is possible to measure motions within the body. Imaging of blood vessels using the Doppler mode, is a test that uses standard ultrasound methods to make a picture of a blood vessel and the organs around it. The portable ultrasound scanner App turns the Doppler sounds
Arthrocentesis Ultrasound is a useful adjunct in the evaluation of the patient with a swollen, painful knee. Ultrasound can identify a suspected knee effusion as well as assist with Closed joint aspiration . Ultrasound-guided arthrocentesis and injection of the knee are superior to arthrocentesis and injection guided by anatomic landmarks
