Choose the One from All: An Objective Review of EagleView Ultrasound (POCUS)

Written by Dr. Wiley (Pulmonology & Critical Care Physician) - Published on Dec 28, 2025

EagleView ultrasound vs. Butterfly ultrasound

EagleView is a compact, smartphone-sized, dual-head wireless handheld ultrasound built for daily POCUS and ultrasound-guided procedures in critical care.

What I like: strong linear-probe performance for vascular access, practical image examples, quick start when you power on first then open the app.

What to note: image quality is not sufficient for cardiac evaluation in my experience, and the device becomes warm after ~10 minutes of use.

Why POCUS Matters

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a game-changer in emergency and critical care settings. Traditional cart-based ultrasound systems can deliver strong image quality, but they are often heavy and expensive.

Choose the One from All Portable Ultrasound Machines

To choose a suitable device for POCUS, I created a comparison chart of leading handheld ultrasound brands on the market. As a physician, I consider both a convex probe (for abdominal surveys) and a linear probe (for vascular assessment and procedures) essential. A sector/phased probe is less critical for my routine critical care workflow, since many core applications can be covered with a convex probe. Wireless connectivity is also important for flexible bedside use and streamlined cleaning workflows. Finally, price matters—especially if your hospital isn’t able to purchase a system for you.

Eagleview Ultrasound Scanner Review

Smartphone sized EagleView is compact and wireless. It is a suitable device for physicians doing POCUS every day and help doctors do sono-guided interventions, such as central venous catheter insertion, pigtail insertion or sono-guided biopsies, in the critical care unit.

The device I received was in a compact box, including a charger pad, a brief user manual and the EagleView portable ultrasound itself. Then I did some scans on the patients and myself immediately.

Caso 1: Demostración de embarcaciones

Demonstration of the left common carotid artery and the internal jugular vein in B mode(left) and with color doppler(right). This picture is suitable for sono-guided needle placement.

Estas fueron las imágenes obtenidas de un hombre de 95 años que ingresó en UCI por shock séptico y necesitamos colocarle un catéter venoso central.

Caso 2: Derrame pleural

Demonstration of bilateral pleural effusion. The left picture shows a small amount of pleural effusion with collapsed lung, diaphragm and spleen. The right picture shows a large amount of pleural effusion, diaphragm and liver.

These images were obtained from an 80-year-old man with heart failure and general edema. Chest film showed bilateral blunt costophrenic angles. We planned to place a pigtail to drain his pleural effusion out.

Caso 3: Control de calidad de imagen en temas de salud

To check the image quality of EagleView, we do some scans on healthy subjects.

Conclusión

It’s a compact, lightweight, wireless portable ultrasound scanner with good quality of linear probe and fair quality of convex probe. The boot-up is quick within 30 seconds if you boot the device first and then open the smartphone app. 

En general, es una máquina que vale su precio y podría ayudar a los médicos sin una máquina de ultrasonido o con máquinas de ultrasonido muy antiguas.
