Ultrasound machines

Ultrasound machines are functional computer systems for ultrasound diagnostics (USD), with the help of which it has become possible to obtain high-quality 2D or 3D images during the examination of almost any organ and system of the human body.

You can order any model of an ultrasound examination machine from us at a favorable price. Browse the catalog, choose equipment for your medical facility, see how much it costs, and find out the terms of payment and delivery. You can receive your order in Kyiv or any settlement in Ukraine.

Types and Kinds of Ultrasound Machines

Today, there are portable and stationary ultrasound machines.

Stationary Equipment

Used in medical institutions. These are multifunctional scanners that can have additional features, such as Doppler systems, ECG modules, 3D visualization, etc.

Portable Scanners

They have compact sizes and light weight, and are equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable battery, which allows using such devices in field conditions, in particular in ambulances for diagnosing patients during a call. Also, mobile equipment is often used by veterinary medicine facilities. You can buy a modern portable ultrasound device at an affordable cost to equip a paramedic team or your veterinary clinic from us.

In addition, ultrasound machines can have different functionality, being universal or specialized. Three types of universal ultrasound devices:

• Scanners that allow obtaining a 2-dimensional targeted image or echogram. Used for mammographic examination of the mammary glands and allow obtaining images in different planes.
• A medical device with a spectral Doppler system can analyze blood flow velocity.
• Machines with a color Doppler mapping system are multifunctional. They not only perform scanner functions but also transmit images of blood flow distribution in 2D.

Specialized ultrasound machines are used for diagnosing:

• Organs of vision. An ophthalmic scanner is capable of visualizing the structure of the eye in 1- or 2-dimensional mode.
• Nasal and frontal sinuses. Such a device has a built-in sinuscope.
• The brain. The equipment allows performing echoencephalographic examinations.

There is also a category of fetal scanners, which, using the Doppler method, help to determine and examine the fetal heartbeat during women’s pregnancy.

Also, ultrasound examination equipment can have different data acquisition quality, so it is customary to divide them into classes:

• basic — these are mostly mobile 16-channel machines;
• medium — 32-channel devices;
• advanced — 64-channel systems;
• premium-class devices feature additional digital processing of results, as well as Doppler mapping systems.

From us, you can order high-class medical diagnostic equipment at an acceptable price.

Application of Ultrasound Scanners in Various Fields of Medicine

Ultrasound machines are applied in various fields of medicine, where they can be used to study the condition of organs, systems, and fluids of the human body. With the help of ultrasound equipment, it is convenient not only to make a diagnosis but also to use it for monitoring during surgical interventions and therapeutic procedures.

Main Technical Characteristics of Ultrasound Machines

Ultrasound scanners have probes with different scanning frequencies. Ultrasound waves are capable of penetrating to

different depths, which depends on the frequency. For example, a frequency of 2.5 MHz is used to examine deep organs, 3.5 MHz in cardiological examinations, and up to 7.5 MHz when diagnosing superficial organs.

Probes can be:

• Universal for studying pelvic organs. Used in obstetrics and gynecology, urology, etc. Such probes are used to examine the abdominal area or to perform control after nephrostomy tube placement.
• In cardiology, special probes are used that can scan the heart through the gap between the ribs.
• For superficial organs, such as joints, the thyroid gland, etc.
• Pediatric probes have a higher frequency than similar equipment for adults.
• Intracavitary probes are used in various fields of medicine, including obstetrics and gynecology, proctology, and urology.

In addition, the medical arsenal includes pencil, needle, matrix, laparoscopic, and videoendoscopic scanners, as well as models that transmit images in 3D and 4D as an organ slice in a specific area.

Ultrasound machines can differ by the type of ultrasound transducer — linear, sector, phased array, and convex type. Also, they can have different monitor sizes, several different types of probes simultaneously, and in some models, there is the possibility of connecting additional probes.

How to Choose an Ultrasound Machine for a Medical Facility

If you plan to equip your medical facility with high-quality ultrasound equipment, it is important to take the following criteria into account:

1. For a polyclinic, it is better to purchase a stationary device on a special cart that can be transported inside the facility. For an ambulance crew or a veterinary clinic, a portable device will be more suitable.
2. If your facility is multidisciplinary, the best choice would be a multifunctional machine with the ability to connect various types of probes for examinations.
3. Ultrasound equipment can produce images of varying quality. Classic universal models usually output pictures in several modes (B, 2B, M, CWD, CDK), but there are machines that show images in 3D or 4D and also in color, thus offering better visualization of the organ. Of course, the cost of such devices is higher than classic models.
4. If you have a specialized clinic, you will need at least 5–6 different types of probes and ports for them.
5. Pay attention to the scanning frequency: the higher the figure, the less the penetration depth of ultrasound waves.
6. Also, choose a convenient screen size and its resolution, the number of data transmission/reception channels, an adaptive software interface, the availability of its regular updating, and the possibility of upgrading the equipment.
