  Detailed Features:

1. Imaging Technology:

• • S-Harmonic™: Improves image clarity by reducing noise and enhancing uniformity in both near and far fields. Ideal for clearer abdominal and pelvic imaging.
  • S-Vue Transducer Technology: These transducers offer higher bandwidth and sensitivity, providing better penetration in challenging patients, such as those with high BMI.
  • S-Flow™: High-sensitivity Doppler technology that detects peripheral blood vessels and microvascular flow with greater precision, useful in vascular studies.

  2. Specialized Imaging Functions:

  • ElastoScan™: Enables non-invasive assessment of tissue elasticity, beneficial for diagnosing liver fibrosis, breast lesions, and thyroid nodules.
  • Auto IMT™: Automatically measures intima-media thickness of the carotid artery, useful for assessing cardiovascular risk.
  • QuickScan™: Adjusts brightness, gain, and Doppler settings automatically to optimize image quality in real time.

  3. 3D/4D Imaging:

  • Offers high-quality 3D/4D imaging for obstetric applications. This is particularly useful for detailed fetal evaluations, improving diagnostic confidence during pregnancy scans.

  4. Workflow Optimization:

  • Quick Preset: Allows users to switch between presets for different probes and exam types quickly, saving time during busy clinical sessions.
  • DICOM Compatibility: Fully integrated with DICOM for easy image storage and transfer to PACS systems.
