GE Vivid iq veterinary ultrasound scanner

The Vivid iq is a first with it's touch screen interface and intituive design, combined with the portability of a laptop and the power of a cart based system this allows vets to give first class animal care with no limitations.

The Vivid iq is a completely portable, laptop sized scanner. It has virtually all the features of the full size GE Vivid cart based large scanners.

The Doppler quality and workflow are the key aspects of the Vivid iq. It has unrivaled Colour Doppler as well as advanced Doppler technologies such as Tissue Velocity Imaging (TVI), Speckle Tracking and Tissue Synchronistaion Imaging.

One of the great advantages is the ability to carry out full offline analysis and produce a pdf report including images and measurements. Time spent with the animal is reduced as measurements can be taken off stored images and clips later. It also allows for repeat studies to be done on animals. You can go back a year later and measure something else. For example ventricular diameter or intra-venticular septum.

With optimum probe selection, this system will achieve excellent imaging at depths of 30cm providing excellent equine cardiology capabilities. The Virtual Apex with phased array probes provides a 120° sector for a wide field of view for enhanced visualization of structures at the sides of the sector. For linear probes Virtual Convex can be used to extend the field of view which can be useful for other applications.

Extremely high frame rates, enhanced colour flow and colour angio assist in acquiring extremely low velocity flows.

Live Anatomical M-Mode corrects for off axis orientation in situations where the heart is not positioned or shaped normally can be carried out on live or stored B-Mode images.

Confocal imaging allows multiple focal zones and sector tilting capability. Multiple focal zones help to optimise image quality.

Instant review screen displays twelve simultaneous loops/ images for quick study review. The Vivid iq has full built-in patient archive with post-processing capabilities. It has the capability to store still images and cine-loops to the memory with the potential to play back different cine-loops at the same time.

There is an extensive and customisable cardiac calculation and general measurement package available with automatic worksheet and report format.

Patients and exams can be tagged for existing or diagnosed conditions. For example, you could recall all of your cat HCM exams for research projects. Clips are easy to export in a Windows friendly format for use in PowerPoint presentations.

The Vivid iq is easy to work with day to day. It has a 100GB internal memory to store patient images, clips and measurement reports. You can export jpeg, avi, bit, raw DICOM to USB. Option for full DICOM network integration capabilities

The rechargable battery provides up to one hour of full scan operation. The 15” screen makes it easy to view images. Includes carry bag and 3 lead  ECG set.
