Ultrasound Scanner Types & Variations
Different ultrasound scanners like array scanner, linear scanner, and sector scanner are described in this section. Information on latest innovations like pulse echo ultrasound scanner, palmtop ultrasound scanner are also provided in this section.
Various types of scanners described here include: 1) High Precision Near Field Scanner (Type 8805) 2) Micromachine Intracardiac Ultrasound Scanner 3) Portable Ultrasound Scanners 4) 3D/4D Ultrasound Systems 5) Palmtop Ultrasound Scanner
High Precision Near Field Scanner (Type 8805) Special features of the above scanner include: Large frequency range for excellent image quality Fine pitch gives sharp contrast resolution
Ultrasound Scanner Types 8545-S and 8645 They provide first class screen images with minimal invasion. They offer high resolution for intraoperative screening.
For abdominal ultrasound, array scanners of the curved type are used as the best compromise of two other standard-type probes: the linear and the sector scanner.
The linear scanners have some disadvantages when applied to regions of interest covered by non-flat regions of the body surface (e.g., the spleen behind the left costal margin).
Sector scanners have a minimal contact surface and result in limited information for the near field only. Both the scanning plane and the received ultrasound-signals are modified and improved with increasingly sophisticated software backup.
Micromachine Intracardiac Ultrasound Scanner This site describes a handcrafted model of intracardiac scanner. This scanner consists of a single high frequency PZT piston transducer that is operated by a micromachine actuator to produce a sector scan. Mechanical sector scanner design is improved using finite element analysis and integrated circuit fabrication.
VIKING 2400-Ultrasound Scanner This scanner combines premium class image quality with expertise in specialized ultrasound. The Viking 2400 is versatile and adaptable to accommodate the many variations in patient types.
Different types of ultrasound scanners and examples of sonograms are grouped efficiently in this website.
Ultrasound scanners from Ecoson Ecoson offers different types of scanners like Ecoson 600 ultrasound scanner, Ecoson 800 portable ultrasound Scanner, and Ecoson 700V ultrasound scanner for veterinary applications.
Pulse-Echo Ultrasound Scanners Pulse-echo ultrasound scanners provide high quality images of internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, prostate and breast. They operate by transmitting pulses of sound into the tissue.
Portable Ultrasound Scanners from DRAMINSKI DRAMINSKI Animal Profi is a portable ultrasound scanner for detecting pregnancy in small and large animals. The scanner was designed not only for veterinarians but also for breeders. Complete comfort of use, even in the most demanding conditions, is provided by small size and lightweight.
3D ultrasound & 4D ultrasound allow us to view unborn babies as never before.
PalmTop WED-2000, a giant in miniature, is the smallest and lightest ultrasound scanner in the world, weighting only 600 grams with the probe and internal rechargeable battery together. Its sharp image, battery operation, unique size and weight makes its targeted at the market of ambulance, for hand carrying use within a hospital of course. It is also ideal for veterinarians, farmers and breeders.
