eHD Technology: A New Era In Ultrasound

  • – Enhanced Diagnostic Value
  • – Maximizing Signal Information
  • – Low Power Consumption
  • – More Efficient Healthcare

eHD is Esaote’s technology to innovateultrasound imaging and improve systems’ use. It represents our attention to diagnostic value by optimizing all aspects of the chain a signal has to travel through, starting from the echo generated by the patient’s body up to the arrival on the system’s monitor. It maximizes the efficiency of ultrasound scanning, leaving the sonographer free to concentrate on the patient. eHD: the quality that improves your diagnostic confidence.

iQProbes: appleprobe, An Innovative Approach In Ergonomics

The appleprobe keeps the hand and wrist in their natural alignment by distributing the grip throughout the whole hand just as you grip an apple. When not scanning you can relieve tension on the fingers and wrist, simply by keeping the probe between the fingers. The appleprobe has been designed for both innovative and traditional grips thanks to its innovative palm hold and conventional pincer hold.
