GE Healthcare is unveiling a new budget conscious ultrasound system, the Versana Essential. GE touts it as having excellent image quality for the price and sees it being used by OB-GYNs, family and general practice physicians, and by clinicians in a number of other specialties. Using it you can view the thyroid vasculature, kidney vessels, and assess blood flow through the aorta, carotid, and other vessels.
The Versana Essential has a number of semi-automated features that help to produce high resolution images and move scans forward, such as Whizz one-touch dynamic image optimization, Auto IMT measurement, and SonoBiometry for fetal measurements. It does include Doppler capabilities.
For those getting acquainted with the device, GE Healthcare offers online tools called Scan Coach and My Trainer that help to learn how to use it properly.
