Description

The GE Voluson i was the first, and remains the best portable 4D ultrasound machine on the market today. It has excellent frame rates, surprisingly good image quality and great penetration. It’s currently the most popular 4D portable ultrasound machine on the market, which is due to its reliability and great image quality. The newer versions have better image quality than the first Voluson 730 console machines.

With CrossXBeam, Speckle Reduction Imaging, Tissue Harmonics, and high frame rates, this is the idea portable ultrasound machine for practices looking for a 4D ultrasound machine.

Although it’s primarily for those looking to add 4D to their practice, the Voluson i is a very capable machine for OB/GYN, Vascular, Ortho, MSK, venous, and other applications. It has excellent image quality for all applications, however, there is no CW Doppler and performing a full cardiology study is not an option.
