[[The Andrews Institute, Gulf Breeze, Florida]]
[[James R. Andrews, M.D. Medical Director Andrews Institute] When we first opened ]
[the Andrews Institute, one of the things we became extremely interested in]
[was ultrasound in sports medicine. ]
[We're always looking for a better way to diagnose]
[muscle tendon injuries, and ultrasound]
[seemed to be the next big step in diagnostics.]
[evaluate patients on their first visit]
[and really find an answer to their injury.]
[[Joshua Hackel, M.D. Andrews Institute] For example, if a patient came into our]
[office with an Achilles tendon injury]
[We don't even get an x-ray. ]
[So from that standpoint, we don't have to wait on an MRI,]
[we have our diagnosis, and the patient now has that answer. ]
[They leave here pleased that they're]
[on the road to recovery as quickly as possible. ]
[The quality of the picture of the Venue 40 is excellent. ]
[So, I was extremely impressed with the resolution.]
[As our healthcare dollars shrink, ]
[we have to come up with the answers utilizing]
[the Venue 40 and musculoskeletal ultrasound]
[can allow us to come to a diagnosis]
[and treat the patient efficiently.]
[An end result, you're saving healthcare dollars. ]
[Affordability is everything. ]
[If you can maneuver your ultrasound unit]
[easily from room to room, it makes your]
[So from an efficiency standpoint, I think ]
[that is a big factor that the Venue 40 provides.]
[The future of sports medicine]
[is going to be involved with musculoskeletal ]
[The Venue 40 is going to be critical]
[in saving healthcare dollars. ]
[No longer do we have to really rely on our clinical experience. ]
[We can have objective data to assist us in ]
