Among those 28 transducers, the Canon Xario Platinum series support about 5 different intra-operative and biopsy enhancement transducers that can improve clinical productivity in interventional Radiology, and also are available motor-driven volume transducers for in-depth 3/4D Obstetrics and Gynecology applications.

The Canon Nemio XG is an entry level General Imaging and OB/GYN ultrasound machine that replaces the ealier Nemio 30

The Canon Viamo is a high-end portable ultrasound machine for shared service application. It has the same imaging hardware and transducers as the high-end Aplio series. This gives the Viamo excellent image quality. Its fully programmable touch screen provides customizable access to imaging, quantification, and workflow functions.

The Supersonic Aixplorer is the premier Elastography system available in Ultrasound today. Though it was not the first brand to offer Elastography, the major brands are trying to catch up with it’s proprietary ShearWave technology. This technology delivers impeccable image quality and enables ultrafast imaging and Doppler. Though the Aixplorer is a very specialized machine, it can do other general imaging, but is not as flexible as a Philips iU22, or Logiq E9 which also try to compete in this segment.

The SonoScape E1 is categorized as an economy portable ultrasound system that is designed for abdominal, cardiac, gynecology, musculoskeletal, obstetrical, pediatric, small parts, cephalic, urology, veterinary, and vascular exams. More advanced hardware and software platforms has been developed from the older generation, SonoScape A6; the SonoScape E1 integrated a number of advanced imaging technologies such as the full digital broad band width beam former, wide band dynamic range, and multi-beam parallel processing. Although it is targeting a B/W low-cost market, it supports PW Doppler, Auto IMT, Spatial Compounding, Auto Image Optimization, Stand-by Mode, Enhanced Needle Visualization, Panoramic imaging with 2 standard probe ports and 15.6″ LED monitor. The SonoScape E1 and E2 share a similar system architecture, however, the SonoScape E2 incorporates more options enable to better cover clinical applications and workflow.

The Mindray DC-40 is also designed to cover a wide range of applications including abdominal, pediatric, small organs, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, MSK (conventional, superficial), urology, adult cardiac, and peripheral vessel.

The Mindray DC-40 integrates their latest 64-channel Imaging Engine, which provides support for high-performance hardware such as a 17″ LED monitor (Available up to 19″), an angle-adjustable 10.4″ LED touchscreen, 4 active probe ports, 1TB hard disk, a gel warmer, endocavity transducer holder, 5 cost-effective transducers (3C5A, 7L4A, L7-3, V11-3, P4-2), 1 high density and high frequency linear array transducer (L14-6NE), and 1 functional volume transducer. These transducers effectively cover a wide array of clinical requirements, thanks to their low-to-high bandwidth frequency coverage.

The Mindray DC-40 is an entry level ultrasound, so decreasing the ultrasound learning curve is key. iScanHelper is a tutorial software for a novice user to get used to ultrasound scanning. iScanHelper includes anatomical illustrations, standard ultrasound images, scanning reference pictures and tips on scanning skillfully. The Raw Data function, a physician can use the stored image and cine for re-preprocessing such as optimization, measurement, and adding comments.

The Mindray DC-40 has rich functionality at its price point and product positioning. As a fully- functional ultrasound solution, the Mindray DC-40 provides strong GI features: Natural Touch Elastography for stiffness evaluation, iScape for panoramic imaging with power mode, IMT for Auto IMT measurement, and Smart Bladder for auto liquid volume measurement. The Mindray DC-40 is more powerful in features for primary OBG care with conventional 4D, iLive function for an amazing, realistic view of the fetus, iPage for volume data with multiple parallel 2D images, Smart OB for auto measurement of the most frequently used items, dedicated IVF package and Smart NT for auto measure of NT. The Mindray DC-40 is also a practical adult cardiac solution with CW mode, complete TDI modes and TDI quantification.

For a competitive primary OBG care solution, following the OB/GYN options on the Mindray DC-40 are critical. iLive, the same as Samsung’s Realistic Vue and GE’s HDlive, is a virtualized rendering tool to obtain an amazingly realistic view of the fetus; and the angle of the light source can be adjusted freely. The iPage function provides multiple slices of 2D images from a 3D volume image, similar to CT or MR Imaging. The Smart OB is an auto measurement tool that provides the 5 most frequently used measurements of OB such as BPD/HC/FL/AC/OFD. Lastly, Smart NT is another automatic measurement function that measures and displays max NT result by the industry standard method of “in to in.”

The Alpinion E-cube 5 provides image quality comparable to the GE Logiq P5 premium and similar premium entry level ultrasound systems at a much lower price together with a longer extended warranty. The E-cube provides excellent 2D image quality for OB/GYN, abdominal and MSK applications. It is very light, compact, and easier to maintain than similar console ultrasound machines with an exceptionally low power draw that could save thousands of dollars in electricity over the life of the system.
