Imaging Features & Modes

The HM70 EVO supports a broad set of imaging and Doppler modes, plus advanced / optional features. Below are the key ones and how they help in practice.

Feature / Mode Description / How It Works Benefit / Use Case
2D imaging with ClearVision™, HQ-Vision™, S-Harmonic™ Enhanced grayscale imaging: ClearVision optimizes for different applications; HQ-Vision reduces blur; S-Harmonic enhances uniformity and reduces noise, improving image quality from near field to far field.

These tools help reduce operator dependence, reduce scan time, increase consistency and reproducibility across operators / exams.

Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

Combines high image quality (with advanced imaging modes) with portability. Good compromise for settings where both mobility and diagnostic performance are needed.

Broad specialty usefulness: supports OB/GYN, cardiac, MSK, vascular, etc.

Strong workflow tools and intuitive interface – very helpful in emergencies or heavy throughput.

Durable design and respectable battery life make it suitable for mobile or point-of-care use.

Robust security / data protection built into OS and connectivity (important in many settings).

Considerations / Limitations:

Though battery life is good (~75 min), for very extended mobile scanning sessions or long field work, access to power may still be needed or upgraded power packs.

Some advanced features (e.g. 3D/4D, RealisticVue, extended Doppler options, strain imaging etc.) may be optional extras in certain regions or configurations—so what comes standard vs optional should be clearly verified prior to purchase.

Depth range maximum (~38 cm) may limit very deep imaging, depending on probe and patient habitus.
