Full Catalog and Price List for Ultrasound Machines

Have you been browsing around online, looking at all the different brands and models of portable ultrasound machines for your practice, and still don’t know which one to purchase? We get it. It can be a little overwhelming trying to select the best portable ultrasound machine for your specialty, practice, and workflow. That’s why we’ve gathered up all the important details about portable ultrasound machines—to help you find the one that best fits your needs and preferences at your practice.

What is an ultrasound machine?

An ultrasound machine uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of organs and structures inside the human body.¹ These machines are also referred to as portable ultrasounds, ultrasound systems, and sonography machines.

What are the components of an ultrasound machine system?

An ultrasound machine is made up of many components including a transducer probe, a central processing unit (CPU), a monitor, a keyboard with control knobs, disk storage devices, and a printer.²

The transducer probe is the most crucial component. Using the scientific phenomenon known as the piezoelectric effect (or pressure electricity effect) the transducer probe generates the sound waves used in ultrasound and receives their echoes.² Before a patient has an ultrasound, the ultrasound technician applies a mineral-oil-based gel to the patient’s skin.² Sound waves can travel from the probe through the gel and into the patient’s skin.² Probes attach to the CPU, which transmits electrical currents that cause the probe to put out sound waves.² The CPU evaluates electrical pulses from the probe and converts the data into images that can be viewed on a monitor, stored on a disk, or printed.² An ultrasound’s control knobs and other features enable the ultrasound technician to make adjustments, save images, and perform other tasks.²

What types of ultrasound machines are there?

There are several different types of ultrasound machines available on the market today: 2D ultrasound machines, 3D ultrasound machines, 4D ultrasound machines, and 5D ultrasound machines^3,4:

• 2D ultrasounds produce flat, two-dimensional black and white cross-section images of the scanned organ or structure. These types of ultrasound images are the most common.
• In contrast to 2D ultrasounds, 3D ultrasounds scan organ or structure cross-sections at different angles to create a three-dimensional, realistic image. Parents love to do 3D ultrasounds so they can see their unborn baby’s face.
• 4D ultrasounds generate 3-dimensional images, but they use the time to add movement -much like a live video - to create the most realistic image of all.
• 5D ultrasounds, or HD and HD Live ultrasounds, are the latest advancement in ultrasound technology. These ultrasounds produce even clearer, sharper images with more definition and better resolution.

What are the uses and applications of ultrasound machines?

Ultrasound machines are used to produce images of inside the body via sound waves.⁵ Ultrasounds help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling, and infection and to view an unborn fetus in pregnant women.⁵ They are also used to help guide biopsies, diagnose heart conditions, and evaluate damage after a heart attack.⁵

What should you look for when buying an ultrasound machine?

Before purchasing an ultrasound machine, there are several factors you should consider as you’re comparing the different options available on the market.

First of all, you should ask yourself if you will be transporting the ultrasound machine around your hospital or clinic. If you’re looking for a mobile machine, portable ultrasound machines may be the way to go. On the other hand, static ultrasound machines may produce higher-quality images, but they cannot be moved from room to room.⁶

Portable ultrasound machines⁷:

Portable ultrasound machines are becoming more popular as they are smaller in size, provide greater flexibility, and are easy to transport throughout hospitals and clinics, whereas older ultrasound machines are bigger and bulkier. Portable ultrasound machines come as cart-based, laptop-based, and tablet-based.

Cart-based ultrasound machines provide high-quality images and consist of advanced features and a small footprint. These machines are used in a variety of settings, including emergency, critical care, vascular, and interventional radiology departments.

Laptop-based ultrasound machines are great to use in fast-paced settings when advanced applications are needed in a portable fashion. These types of machines are used in a wide variety of settings including anesthesia, emergency, critical care, and vascular departments. Many laptop-based ultrasound machines come with advanced imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) components that generate diagnostic visualizations. These machines operate on battery power and are ideal for mobile emergency units.

Tablet-based ultrasound machines are excellent options for confined spaces. These machines are easy to move around and disinfect. These machines are generally used in anesthesia, critical care, and emergency departments. Tablet-based ultrasound machines can feature advanced applications; however, because they are touchscreen-only, they do not provide robust imaging. These machines are excellent for targeted uses, including needle images, biopsies, and bedside examinations.

Portable ultrasound machines offer convenience. They offer high-quality images and easy access and mobility. Because of their portable, compact features, they help reduce wait times for patients that can help improve the overall patient experience.

Next, you should consider the right features for your specialty and how it will support your practice’s workflow by identifying the software and equipment you will need in your practice. Ask yourself where you will be using the ultrasound machine, who will be using the ultrasound machine, and what kind of examinations or procedures will require the use of the ultrasound machine. Do you need higher-quality images or other advanced features?

For instance, if you’re going to be doing more specialized examinations, you’ll need licenses to add software for extra features.⁸ You should also consider which probes (or transducers) to get⁸:

• A linear probe has a large footprint, a rectangular beam shape, and a high frequency of 7 to 18Mhz. Linear probes provide good near-field resolution, making them excellent for superficial views of vascular, nerve, musculoskeletal, and breast tissue.
• Convex probes are curved. They have a large footprint, a convex beam shape, and a low frequency of 2.5 to 5Mhz, making them ideal for abdominal, nerve, OB/GYN, musculoskeletal, and vascular visualizations.
• Phased array probes, also known as sector probes, have a small footprint and are a low frequency of 2-8Mhz. Although the resolution is lower, they offer deeper penetration for viewing the skull or intercostal spaces.
• Specialized probes include internal probes that are designed for specific bodily orifices and transesophageal probes for viewing the heart through the esophagus. In addition, there are pencil probes, or CW Doppler probes, that measure the movement and sound of blood and laparoscopic probes for surgical use.

You should also consider how easy ultrasound machines are to use. Many ultrasound machines come with presets for common procedures and to make the ultrasound machines easier for beginners to operate.⁹

Cost and size are always factors when considering which ultrasound machine to purchase. Depending on your needs and preferences for your specialty and practice, ultrasound machines can cost you anywhere from $5,000 to $75,000 or more.⁹ Whether the machine is portable, cart-based, or hand-held, it’s important to consider machine size as well as screen size.¹⁰

What about warranty? Warranty is important with these expensive ultrasound machines. Ultrasound machines usually last 5 to 7 years.¹¹ During that time, equipment such as transducer probes may need to be replaced or repaired, so be sure you review your warranty for your ultrasound machine.
