Vascular Ultrasound

A universal platform for vascular ultrasound

Ultrasound has significant strengths in vascular imaging. Widely available, easy to use and without ionizing radiation, it helps clinicians efficiently assess and monitor vascular disease, enabling delivery of exceptional patient care even for patients who are difficult to scan effectively, such as those with high BMIs.

Overview

Overview

Our vascular ultrasound machines provide you and your clinical teams with the information and insights you need. Our solutions pave the way for you to easily perform exams quickly and consistently. Our EPIQ, Affiniti and Compact systems share the same workflow, interface and transducers. And thanks to our advances in transducer ergonomics, you can reliably and comfortably assess vasculature in real time.
