Ultrasonix Sonixtouch Q+ with GPS
The Ultrasonix Sonixtouch Q+ with GPS is designed as a user friendly, lightweight and mobile ultrasound machine that incorporates Quantum Plus Technology for excellent near field resolution and image quality. The Sonix GPS is a needle guidance positioning system that uses an external electromagnetic-emitting device and sensors in the transducer and needle. When used in conjunction with the C5-2/60 GPS or the L14-5/38 GPS transducers the current and projected needle path is displayed on the ultrasound monitor in real time.
Ultrasonix SonixDAQ
The SonixDAQ is a receive module that is used alongside the Ultrasonix Sonixtouch Q+ ultrasound machine. It allows the researcher to collect raw pre-beamformed channel data in parallel.*
SonixTouch Q+ transducers:
– C7-3/50 (2D transabdominal convex)
– C5-2/60 GPS (2D transabdominal GPS convex)
– L14-5/38 GPS (2D transabdominal GPS linear)
– 4DC7-3/40 (4D transabdominal motor-driven electronic convex)
– 4DL14-5/38 (4D transabdominal linear)
– EC9-5/10 (2D Endovaginal microconvex)
Research Applications:
– Obstetrics
– Fetal Echo
– Gynecology (General and Fertility)
– Abdomen
– Trauma (FAST)
– Musculoskeletal (MSK)
– Research mode (access to 500 different custom parameters)
