If you are having a problem meeting the diagnostic needs of your obstetric practice, both clinically and logistically, you should strongly consider the Voluson i from GE, the world’s first volume ultrasound system available in compact size. The clinical tools that come with the Voluson i portable ultrasound machine continue the long tradition of excellence for which the clinical arm of GE is known. The portability of this unit will help reduce your patient turnaround time, which means increasing your volume, and increasing your billable time—all with an improvement in quality at the same time.

This compact system comes pre-loaded with volume ultrasound which works hand in hand with 3D and 4D ultrasound technology to produce sophisticated images for the obstetric practice. The level of detail available with a Voluson i ultrasound is comparable to that achieved when using a CT or an MRI. This new equipment represents a significant advance in diagnostic clarity in a portable machine.

In addition to picture clarity, the Voluson i has extensive software packages designed for user convenience when performing obstetric calculations and screens.

These include:

• SonoVCADlabor - an automated proprietary 3D tool that will allow you to measure the descent and rotation of the fetal head during labor. Automatically documents labor using ultrasound and manually generated data in one report.


• SonoAVCfollicle – a proprietary software program designed to automatically calculate the follicles from a 3D representation of the ovary, a key facet in diagnosing follicular involvement in several different syndromes * VOCAL, or Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis – a semi-automated measurement tool that uses computer technology to make accurate volume calculations.


• SonoVCADheart – a proprietary tool that helps generate four-chambered views of the heart of a fetus.


• STIC, or Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation – for capturing a full virtual cycle of the fetal heart in full time.


• TUI, or Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging – for documenting simultaneous pictures of multiple parallel slices of in a volume data set. All in all, this portable ultrasound machine is a wonderful addition to the diagnostic array of any obstetric practice and should be given serious consideration when expansion and purchase of clinical tools is a consideration.
