IMPROVING PERFORMANCE
Over a broad range of applications
A D V A N C E D T R A N S D U C E R T E C H N O L O G Y
Exquisite detail resolution from near to far field
With Active Matrix Array transducers, GE set new standards for uniform resolution
and image quality at all scanning depths. The M12L Active Matrix Array transducer
was the first to apply this technology to high-frequency applications, while the M7C
was the first to apply it to abdominal, pelvic and obstetric imaging.
Among the advantages:
N A uniformly thin beam from near to far field
N Deeper penetration at higher frequencies
N Outstanding resolution throughout the field of view
Uniform image quality means you dont have to choose
between near-field and far-field resolution.
M 7 C A N D M 1 2 L A C T I V E M A T R I X A R R A Y S
N Breast imaging
N Musculoskeletal imaging
Two new phased-array transducers expand the LOGIQ 700s
clinical capabilities to sector applications:
N The new 3Sr provides improved intercostal access, along with
transcranial Doppler capability.
N The new 8S transducer provides excellent image quality and a small footprint
for neonatal and pediatric imaging.
Combining coded technology with new ergonomic designs
The new i12L transducer provides high-frequency resolution,
advanced ergonomics, and superb anatomic access. Clinical
versatility is expanded with our exclusive Coded Harmonics and
B-Flow capabilities. This transducer excels in applications such as:
N Vascular surgery and
interventional procedures
N Small parts imaging
The result is unprecedented performance in clinical
ultrasounds most challenging applications.
Note the outstanding penetration and excellent
resolution obtained in this 8S-transducer image
of a cerebral hemorrhage.
The i12L transducer provides excellent utility in neonatal
scanning, as this spine image demonstrates.
Active Matrix Array technology provides excellent near-
field definition and far-field resolution, demonstrated in
this subtle renal mass.
Excellent anterior- and posterior-wall definition, as seen
in this femoral-artery image, is the result of combining
AMA technology with Coded Harmonics.
Combined with AMA technology, Auto Optimization
provides superb resolution made evident by the detail
seen in this fetal profile.
This image of a fetal head demonstrates the M7C Active
Matrix Array probes ability to deliver excellent color
sensitivity while maintaining high resolution.
Conventional transducers force
a compromise between resolution
and penetration.
Active Matrix Array transducers
provide uniform resolution throughout
the entire field of view.
