Abstract

Improved systems and methods for diagnosing an injury of a patient. The system and methods provide for more accurate scans of the injury thereby enabling a combat medic, a medical technician, or even untrained individuals to quickly diagnose the injury. By providing more accurate information, the systems and methods provide the technician with additional information regarding treatment options, such as whether to transport the patient or treat the patient in place, potential for aspiration, and other information about dangerous fluid build-up such as size, depth, and types of surrounding tissues, thereby increasing survivability of the patient. The systems and methods can also provide a diagnosis of the injury as well as suggestions on actions to take to treat the patient.
