Robust Features Deliver Valuable Versatility A highly intuitive user interface provides easy access to a full set of standard ImagePoint Hx features. Presets instantly and accurately configure the system, reduce exam time, and promote consistency. One-step automatic Doppler trace function calculates measurements from the frozen spectrum. Designed by clinicians for clinicians, the control panel is configurable to meet the needs and expectations of users who specialize in general imaging or cardiology studies. Superior 2-D imaging helps you locate and evaluate abnormalities quickly and confidently. High-sensitivity color flow instantly provides reliable flow information, even in small vessels. One-touch ultrasound angio helps you detect low-velocity flows. Superior Doppler sensitivity helps you accurately identify flow velocities. 2-D and color windows are independently steerable for optimal image and angle to flow. Dual imaging is available with all imaging transducers curved, sector, and linear. Calculation utility provides quick and reliable quantitative information when you need it as you perform the exam. Optional Study Manager enables storage of images and loops for later online pageby-page review. 2-D home key instantly returns you to your 2-D starting point from any level or imaging mode. Body markers help you document transducer placement during an exam.
Agilent Transducers Open a Window Into the Body The transducer options available for the ImagePoint Hx system ensure you have the probe you need for a variety of patients and studies. Harmonic imaging with or without the optional contrast package is available in 2-D mode. Harmonic imaging is delivered through two transducers now available on the ImagePoint Hx system. These are the Ultraband S4 sector and Ultraband c3540 curved linear transducers. For additional flexibility the c3540 transducer offers your choice of two frequency pairs for harmonic exams. Now available on the ImagePoint Hx system, Agilent s high-resolution intraoperative transducer is ideal for surgical imaging in all modes. The small footprint and ergonomic handle provide easy access through minimal incisions. Also ideal for non-surgical applications such as superficial scanning, the transducer is optimized for imaging at 0 3 cm. All Agilent imaging transducers offer multifrequency imaging, enabling you to optimize penetration and resolution without changing transducers. Furthermore, frequency agility lets you image at higher frequencies for best image while simultaneously performing Doppler at lower frequencies for optimal color, saving you time and effort.
