Our last blog entry began to discuss and expand on three extremely popular Sonosite portable ultrasound systems: The Titan, the MicroMaxx and the M-Turbo. This entry will serve as a follow-up to that post, and discuss the Sonosite Edge, Edge II and Nanomaxx portable systems.
Sonosite has produced some of the most popular portable ultrasound systems available on the market today. Three specific products have enjoyed timeless appreciation and favorability, and this blog post will be elaborating on these systems.
There are certain ultrasound applications that Compounding Imaging is best employed for. Generally, Breast, Peripheral Vessel and Musculoskeletal ultrasound images are most profoundly impacted by Compounding Imaging applications.
Tissue Harmonic Imaging, essentially, functions the same way as a regular ultrasound image except the sound waves travel through and echo tissues instead of organs or other internal structures.
In an average ultrasound test, there are speckles, or disturbances that result from the echo that is projected from the ultrasound probe. These speckles negatively impact the ultrasound image quality, and can damage or impair a diagnostician’s ability to decipher an ultrasound image. Enter Speckle Reduction Imaging.
Nearly every Ultrasound system has a freeze screen button. Due to the intricate detail in Ultrasound images and the constant movement, it is crucial to be able to freeze the screen and be able to take a prolonged look at the picture being projected.
In order to utilize an ultrasound system to maximum capacity, there are several features diagnosticians and doctors must become familiar with. Ultrasound modes, or options when it comes to ultrasound imaging, once elaborated upon and clarified, can open a new world of efficiency and productivity.
Ultrasound machines have come a long way. The first ultrasound machine was a 2D scanner debuted in 1958 by Ian Donald and Tom brown. They called it the Diasonograph, but it was known in more informal and unkind circles as the Dinosaurograph.
