            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.

 

Array Scanners

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.

 

Linear 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 Scanner

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.

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/4D Ultrasound Systems

3D ultrasound & 4D ultrasound allow us to view unborn babies as never before.

 

Palmtop Ultrasound Scanner

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 it’s targeted at the market of ambulance, for hand carrying use

within a hospital of course. It is also ideal for veterinarians, farmers and breeders.
