Superficial Imaging Applications You can assess
the breast, thyroid, testicle, lymph nodes, hernias,
musculoskeletal structures, soft tissue structures,
ophthalmic structures, and surrounding anatomical
structures for the presence or absence of
pathology. You can use the system for ultrasound
guidance in biopsy and drainage procedures,
vascular line placement, peripheral nerve blocks,
and spinal nerve blocks and taps.
Transcranial Imaging Applications You can
assess the anatomical structures and vascular
anatomy of the brain for presence or absence of
pathology. You can use imaging temporally,
trans-occipitally, or trans-orbitally.
Vascular Imaging Applications You can assess
the carotid arteries, deep veins, and arteries in the
arms and legs, superficial veins in the arms and legs,
great vessels in the abdomen, and various small
vessels feeding organs for the presence or absence
of pathology.
WARNING:
To avoid injury to the patient, use
only an Orbital (Orb) or
Ophthalmic (Oph) exam type
when performing imaging through
the eye. The FDA has established
lower acoustic energy limits for
ophthalmic use. The system will
not exceed these limits only if the
Orb or Oph exam type is selected.
