Ob/Gyn Ultrasound Tool Designed for Physician's Office

A new ultrasound tool provides an exponential increase in processing power and image clarity for obstetric and gynecologic imaging, with smooth connectivity for digital image export in a rugged, easy-to-use form factor.

SonoSite, Inc. (Bothel, WA, USA), a developer of point-of-care, hand-carried ultrasound systems, recently presented the new M-Ob/Gyn Office ultrasound tool specifically customized for the physician's office.

The M-Ob/Gyn Office system is based on SonoSite's fourth generation M-Turbo platform. "The M-Ob/Gyn Office product is customized for the clinical needs of Ob/Gyn specialists,” said Thomas J. Dugan, senior vice president, US Sales and Marketing. "It combines the high performance of cart-based systems with the small footprint, speed, flexibility, and durability that SonoSite's hand-carried ultrasound systems are known for.”

Each M-OB/GYN Office tool comes complete with two transducers--the C60x/5-2 MHz curved array transducer for abdominal scanning and the ICTx/8-5 MHz intracavitary curved array transducer for pelvic imaging. A specialized software package includes tissue harmonic imaging, color Doppler, and advanced obstetric calculations.

The M-Turbo system's advanced processing is 16-times more powerful than its industry leading MicroMaxx system and utilizes the new, advanced SonoADAPT, SonoHD, and SonoMB technologies for dramatic improvements in image quality. Clinicians can export images easily from the new products to a universal serial bus (USB) storage device in standard PC formats--MPEG4 (H.264), JPEG, HTML, and BMP for review or storage on personal computer (PC) or Mac computers.

Similar to SonoSite's earlier systems, the M-Turbo system and its transducers are designed to withstand a three-foot drop onto a hard surface, have sealed surfaces that can be wiped down with disinfectant and a system boot-up within seconds of a cold start.

The M-Turbo products and transducers carry the same five-year warranty that SonoSite introduced with the launch of the MicroMaxx system in 2005.
