    Superb OB/GYN imaging detail to assist in confident diagnoses

    The eL18-4 transducer is an ultra high-frequency linear transducer that incorporates PureWave crystal technology with fine-elevation focusing capability, generating ultra-broadband frequencies from 2 to 22 MHz.
    Performance you can see with Microflow Imaging HD
    MicroFlow Imaging (MFI HD/MFI) is designed to detect low-volume, low-velocity blood flow found in fetal, placental, uterine and ovarian vasculature. MFI overcomes many of the technical barriers associated with conventional methods to detect small vessel blood flow with high resolution and minimal artifacts.
    MFI also maintains high frame rate and 2D image quality while applying artifact reduction techniques. 2D image subtraction, 2D blending and side-by-side display options offer excellent visualization versatility.

    Remarkable dimensionality in color modes with Flow Viewer
    Flow Viewer provides a “3D-like” rendering on every color mode used for flow imaging data (Color, CPA/CPAd, MFI, and MFI HD) to help better visualize fetal vessels and fetal heart structures.
    The 3D appearance has its advantages in clarity and boundary definition over traditional color flow for vessel and fetal cardiac identification.

    Enhance workflow with real-time image adjustments with AutoSCAN
    AutoSCAN enhances workflow by automatically and continuously making real-time adjustments to achieve balanced brightness of tissues. By dynamically adjusting every pixel on every scan line, each image frame has individually adjusted image brightness on 2D, 3D and M-mode.

    Discover added diagnostic confidence with eL18-4 PureWave transducer
    The eL18-4 utilizes elevation focusing capabilities that provides detailed spatial and contrast resolution for near-field imaging and also depth of penetration and contrast resolution.
    With a wide field-of-view and superb 2D detail resolution and penetration, it is ideal for OB/GYN exams.
    New color technology brings enhanced flow sensitivity, improved signal to noise ratio, reduction in artifacts and color flash, and improved color smoothing -- beneficial for fetal heart and vascular exams.
