Ultrasound Equipment

Ultrasound machines

We have two different kinds of machines

1. Sonosite machine
2. GE logic Q

GE Logic Q Ultrasound machine Sonosite Ultrasound Machine

Ultrasound Probes

The high frequency probes are used to scan superficial structures and low frequency probes are used to scan deeper structures. High frequency probe provides high resolution as it scans the superficial structures. The low frequency probe penetrates deeper but loses some resolution

Each machine ahs 2 probes

Sonosite: Both the probes for this machine are high frequency probes. One has a short footprint and the other has a long footprint. The one with the long footprint will be able to penetrate to a depth of 10cm

GE logic Q: It has two probes. The linear probe is a high frequency probe and the curved probe is a low frequency probe.
