ACUSON X600 is a mobile diagnostic ultrasound system for imaging anatomical structures and fluid flow. It transmits ultrasound into the body and processes returning echoes for display on a flat-panel screen. Measurement tools and analysis packages provide information used in clinical diagnosis.
Imaging modes include B-mode, M-mode, pulsed-wave and continuous-wave Doppler, colour and amplitude Doppler, and tissue Doppler. The system also provides tissue-harmonic imaging, combined modes, and 3D and 4D imaging. Displayed thermal and mechanical indices relate to potential ultrasound bioeffects.
Clinical Applications
The X600 supports abdominal, renal, fetal, small-organ, cardiac, cerebrovascular and peripheral-vessel imaging. Other applications include pediatric, cephalic, transrectal, transvaginal, urological, orthopedic and musculoskeletal examinations, along with transesophageal and intracardiac imaging.
