1. OUTLINE

(1) This next-generation full-digital diagnostic ultrasound system has a user-friendly interface and
provides high-sensitivity and high-performance, enabling the acquisition of high-quality images.

(2) A wide range of system configurations, including whole-body systems supporting

cardiovascular examinations (mid-range systems), are available. The functions of each
system can easily be upgraded by adding optional kits.

(3) The dedicated data management board makes it possible to easily add advanced application
software packages, DICOM software, and many other functions.

2. FEATURES

(1) Full-digital ultrasound beam

This system employs full-digital transmission and reception circuits, which were previously
available only in top-of-the-line systems. Higher definition ultrasound beams can thus be
generated, leading to higher image quality.

(2) Multifrequency transducers

Multiple frequencies can be selected using a single transducer . The optimal frequency can be
selected according to the region to be examined, the purpose of examination, and the physical
size of the patient, enabling higher throughput.

(3) Ergonomic panel layout

The switches are arranged in a circular arc around the trackball (which is the home position) so
that they can be operated easily with one hand. The use of sensitive hard keys allows easy
operation even during examinations.

(4) Large-screen observation LCD monitor

A 15-inch LCD monitor is employed. The color monitor is provided with a mechanism
permitting tilting according to the operator's eye level, reducing operator fatigue.

(5) All-in-one design

Peripheral devices such as the filing unit and video printer can be mounted within the compact
body of the system, permitting the system to be moved swiftly within the hospital.

(6) Full-scale support of cardiovascular examinations

In systems configured for cardiovascular examinations, functions such as multiplane TEE,

which are required for full-scale cardiovascular examinations, are available in addition to
steering CW.

(7) Wide range of system configurations

A wide range of system configurations, including systems mainly intended for abdominal and
obstetrical/gynecological examinations or systems supporting cardiovascular examinations,
are available. The systems can easily be upgraded using optional kits.
