Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

Very advanced imaging engine and rendering (Crystal Architecture, high-quality transducers) → excellent image clarity even in challenging patients.

Rich AI / assist-tools span multiple specialties (OB/GYN, radiology, MSK, cardiology).

Good workflow enhancements: quicker scans, automation, ergonomic design.

Strong connectivity, data handling, and safety / cybersecurity features.

Considerations:

Some features are optional or depend on selected probe/licensing. Always verify region-specific configurations.

Battery scan time while decent (~40 min) may not be long enough for extended mobile use without AC power.

For heavy adult cardiology with advanced strain imaging, check whether all desired tools are fully supported in your configuration.
