Designed to support investigations of lung hepatization or lung consolidation. With a max depth of 15cm and application of low harmonic frequencies in a curvilinear format, this setting has been optimized for enhanced visualization in the far field.
MSK-Soft Tissue is our highest-frequency preset. It has been developed with high dynamic range for optimized detail resolution of soft tissue structures, such as intramuscular assessment. It is commonly used by advanced users of MSK point-of-care ultrasound looking for detailed anatomical assessment. The preset penetrates from a minimum depth of 1cm to a maximum of 12cm. The user will notice the preset automatically translates from linear to trapezoidal format (4cm), and then to curvilinear (8cm) to support superficial trigger finger assessments through to deep inguinal hernia and hip-joint interrogation and needle guidance. It is also a popular preset applied by board-certified plastic surgeons in the investigation of symptomatic breast implant studies.
Musculoskeletal is a partner preset for MSK-Soft Tissue. It has been developed with a focus on contrast resolution to highlight crisp borders between structures, and needles with “pop”. It tends to be preferred by those users performing interventions, as well as for diagnostic procedures requiring crisp border detection such as in DDH, as well as rheumatology. The preset penetrates from a minimum depth of 1cm to a maximum of 12cm, and automatically translates from linear to trapezoidal format (4cm), and then to curvilinear (8cm). As a result, the Musculoskeletal preset can support inspection/injection of the peripheral joints as well as support the depth of penetration necessary for hip joint, and even epidurals.
The Nerve preset has been developed in collaboration with regional and peri-operative anesthesiologists. It is a high-frequency linear imaging format optimized for interrogation of the peripheral nerves, to a depth of 5cm. It has been developed to show contrast between the nerve bundle, distinct from surrounding structures and yet maintain the detail resolution required to demonstrate the typical “honeycomb” appearance of individual nerve fascicles.
The OB 1/GYN preset is a dedicated curvilinear obstetric preset for in-utero assessment of pregnancy and gynecological patients to a depth of 25cm. The preset has been optimized for first trimester pregnancy studies and is particularly popular in Labor & Delivery, obstetric, and resource-limited settings.
The OB 2/3 preset is a dedicated curvilinear obstetric preset for in-utero assessment of pregnancy and gynecological patients to a depth of 25cm. The preset has been optimized for second and third trimester pregnancy studies and is particularly popular in Labor & Delivery, obstetric, and resource-limited settings.
The Ophthalmic preset has been carefully developed with the appropriate MI operating scope for point-of-care ultrasound examinations of the eye. This typically involves looking at structural integrity of the orbit, foreign bodies as well as optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). It is a linear preset, depth range to 5cm.
The Pediatric Abdomen preset uses harmonic frequencies in a curvilinear format to support the clinical assessment of the size and morphology of abdominal organs, such as the liver and kidney. This preset uses a higher frequency and can penetrate as deep as 15cm, optimized for pediatric assessment.
