About the Sonosite 180

PULSED WAVE DOPPLER

The SonoSite 180PLUS provides a sensitive and accurate quantitative assessment of blood flow, enabling the user to measure velocities and identify flow characteristics in arteries and veins. Doppler signals are exceptionally clean enhancing diagnostic confidence for vascular exams.

COLOR POWER DOPPLER

For quickly detecting blood flow in vessels, or for guiding the placement of a pulsed Doppler sample volume, color power Doppler is a very sensitive mode that is less angle-dependent than velocity-based color flow. Directional color power Doppler is also available on selected transducers

TISSUE HARMONIC IMAGING

THI is an advanced technology never before available in this price range. In THI mode, the system processes echoes at the higher harmonic frequencies, resulting in images with reduced noise and clutter artifacts. This enhances image quality with finer dot size and improved tissue differentiation.

PC DIRECT CONNECTIVITY

Offers a complete solution for digital documentation and image management on a standard PC. SiteLink image manager software downloads and automatically stores high-resolutions to an intuitive file system. Images can then be archived, reviewed and converted to other formats for use in QA programs and teaching, presentations, publications and for sharing with colleagues. DICOM and PACS interface solutions available.

TRANSDUCERS

SonoSite offers a selection of comfortable, lightweight, broadband transducers. Together with the 180PLUS these transducers allow you to perform a broad array of diagnostic studies and interventional procedures, including abdominal, vascular, breast, obstetrical, gynecological, pediatric/neonatal, cardiac, prostate, small parts, musculoskeletal and intraoperative.
