- Lateral: 120 µm
Real time acquisition of the images
The acquisition frequency of the high resolution ultrasound scanner is 10 images per second.Ergonomic probe
The probe of the high resolution ultrasound scanner can be easily moved during the examination.Confortable handling of the probe.
Two probe types are available
