Summary of Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

Excellent image quality (2D, color, Doppler, elastography) with strong penetration and sensitivity to slow / small vessel flow.

Strong quantitative tools for liver disease, stiffness, lesion assessment.

Good interventional support (fusion with CT/MRI, guidance tools).

Efficient workflow, reduced manual adjustments thanks to “Advanced Intelligence” features.

Good for multi-specialty imaging (radiology, vascular, breast, MSK, cardiac) in one machine.

Considerations / Depending on Local Configuration:

Many advanced / optional features (e.g. S-Fusion, S-Detect, MV-Flow, shear-wave etc.) may incur extra cost or require specific licenses / probes. Always confirm what’s included.

Large machine; needs space and appropriate infrastructure. The 27-inch monitor etc. may demand larger footprint.

For very high volume cardiac echo labs, check if specific high frame-rate cardiac-dedicated probes or modules are supported.
