These images are used for assessing the structure and function of organs, for investigating gynecologic abnormalities, and for fetal profiling. Ultrasound scanners transmit short bursts of sound into a patient's body and analyze the returning echoes to determine their amplitude, the depth of the reflecting structures, and the direction from which the echoes are returning. This information is processed and then used to generate video images that can be viewed live or recorded and played back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoint-of-Care (POC) ultrasound machines can be cart-based, laptop-based, or handheld. Therefore, they all have a small footprint and can be easily moved around a healthcare facility. POC ultrasound is often used by a treating physician at an office or the patient’s bedside, as opposed to the patient being referred to an imaging specialist. They also offer a variety of optional application-specific transducers: curved linear-array transducers, primarily used for abdominal and obstetric applications; flat linear-array transducers, primarily used for superficial and vascular applications; sector—also referred to as phased—transducers, primarily used for cardiac applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","published_at":"2020-06-29T23:25:18-04:00","created_at":"2020-06-29T23:25:19-04:00","vendor":"GE Healthcare","type":"Ultrasound Scanners","tags":["Antigua \u0026 Barbuda","Argentina","Barbados","Belize","Bolivia","Brand_GEHealthcare","Chile","Colombia","Costa Rica","Dominica","Dominican Republic","Ecuador","El Salvador","Grenada","Guatemala","Guyana","Haiti","Honduras","Jamaica","Mexico","Nicaragua","North Macedonia","Order_Zambia","Panama","Paraguay","Peru","Product_Ultrasound Scanners","Serbia","St. Kitts \u0026 Nevis","St. Lucia","St. Vincent \u0026 the Grenadines","Suriname","The Bahamas","Trinidad \u0026 Tobago","Turkey","Uruguay","Venezuela"],"price":2300000,"price_min":2300000,"price_max":2300000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":38090143432856,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"GE - Ultrasound Scanner - Logiq E R7","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":2300000,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/1600\/2712\/products\/GE-Ultrasound-LogiqER7.png?v=1593487619"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/1600\/2712\/products\/GE-Ultrasound-LogiqER7.png?v=1593487619","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":9874855395480,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.639,"height":779,"width":498,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/1600\/2712\/products\/GE-Ultrasound-LogiqER7.png?v=1593487619"},"aspect_ratio":0.639,"height":779,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0402\/1600\/2712\/products\/GE-Ultrasound-LogiqER7.png?v=1593487619","width":498}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch4\u003eTechnical\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePortable\/Tablet\/Cart-based\u003c\/strong\u003e - Portable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExams supported\u003c\/strong\u003e - Abdominal, cardiac, MSK, OB\/GYN, pediatric, urology, small parts, vascular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProbes\u003c\/strong\u003e - Linear array, convex array, phased array\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories (included)\u003c\/strong\u003e - CW doppler kit, ECG module, LOGIQview software option, DICOM, isolation cart\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory Approval\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- US FDA and CE Mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFind out more about this product \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gehealthcare.com\/products\/ultrasound\/point-of-care-ultrasound\/nextgen-logiq-e-ultrasound\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct may not be available in all countries and regions.

These images are used for assessing the structure and function of organs, for investigating gynecologic abnormalities, and for fetal profiling. Ultrasound scanners transmit short bursts of sound into a patient's body and analyze the returning echoes to determine their amplitude, the depth of the reflecting structures, and the direction from which the echoes are returning. This information is processed and then used to generate video images that can be viewed live or recorded and played back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoint-of-Care (POC) ultrasound machines can be cart-based, laptop-based, or handheld. Therefore, they all have a small footprint and can be easily moved around a healthcare facility. POC ultrasound is often used by a treating physician at an office or the patient’s bedside, as opposed to the patient being referred to an imaging specialist. They also offer a variety of optional application-specific transducers: curved linear-array transducers, primarily used for abdominal and obstetric applications; flat linear-array transducers, primarily used for superficial and vascular applications; sector—also referred to as phased—transducers, primarily used for cardiac applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e"}
