• Storage: Incorporates a 1 TB hard disk for storing a large number of ultrasound images, patient information, and reports. It also supports data transfer through 4 USB type – A ports and Ethernet connectivity.
• Cine Loop: Supports a cine loop function with a capacity of up to 128 frames (in some versions), allowing for the observation of dynamic tissue movements. The playback speed can be adjusted for detailed analysis.
• Power: Powered by a rechargeable lithium – ion battery pack (14.4 V, 6600 mah), providing over 100 minutes (about 1.5 – 2 hours) of continuous scanning. The battery can be fully charged in less than 3 hours when the system is powered off and connected to an AC power supply (110 – 240V, 50 – 60Hz).
• Dimensions and Weight: Compact design with dimensions approximately 361 ± 5 mm in width, 147 ± 5 mm in depth, and 358 ± 5 mm. The weight without the battery is about 8.2 kg, making it portable and easy to move around in different veterinary settings.

3. Function Description

• Imaging Modes:
  • Offers multiple imaging modes such as B – mode (brightness mode) for clear visualization of anatomical structures. In B – mode, the system can display detailed images of organs, tissues, and lesions.
  • M – mode (motion mode) is available for observing the movement of tissues, especially useful for cardiac applications to measure the movement of heart valves and chambers.
  • Color Doppler modes including color flow Doppler, power Doppler, and directional power Doppler are provided to analyze blood flow. These modes can help in detecting blood flow abnormalities, such as in cases of vascular diseases or evaluating organ perfusion.
  • Tissue harmonic imaging (THI) and phase shift harmonic imaging (PSH) are used to enhance image quality. PSH, in particular, provides purified harmonic images with better contrast resolution, reducing noise and enhancing the clarity of the images, especially for difficult – to – image subjects.
  • Trapezoid imaging / exfov (extended field of view) allows for a wider view of the anatomical structure on convex and linear probes, providing more comprehensive diagnostic information.
• Advanced Imaging Technologies:
  • iClear™ (speckle suppression imaging) improves image quality by automatically detecting and reducing speckles. This results in sharper and more continuous edges, smoother and more uniform tissues, and cleaner “clutter – free” areas, enhancing the overall diagnostic accuracy.
  • iBeam™ permits the use of multiple scanned angles to form a single image. This spatial compounding imaging technique enhances contrast resolution and improves the visualization of structures, making it easier to identify subtle details.
  • is cape ™ provides panoramic imaging, giving the user a complete and expanded view of anatomical structures. Coupled with velocity indication and forward / backward scanning abilities, it makes the scanning process easier, smoother, and more controllable.
  • B – steer ™ is a useful tool for deeper biopsy procedures. It allows adjustments to the scan line, enabling better visibility of the needle, nerves, and small vessels during invasive procedures.
  • Free xros m™ enables precise anatomical observation by freely placing sample lines at any angle. It can display up to 3 sample lines simultaneously, providing a more detailed view of the tissue of interest.
  • Color M mode, including color flow M mode and color tissue M mode, offers more details for diagnosis, especially in cases where the movement of tissues or blood flow over time needs to be analyzed.
  • Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) allows veterinarians to quantitatively evaluate patient myocardial movement and function. It provides complete TDI modes, including TVI, TEI, TVD, and TVM, which are useful for a faster and more direct diagnosis of cardiac conditions.
• Workflow – enhancing Features:
  • iTouch ™ enables instant automatic image optimization in B – mode, color, and PW (pulse wave) Doppler with just one click. This saves time during examinations and ensures that the images are of the best possible quality for diagnosis.
  • iZoom provides an instant full – screen view of the image with the click of a single key, facilitating a more detailed examination of specific areas of interest.
  • iStation™ is Mindray’s unique patient information management system. It allows for the efficient integration, review, archiving, and retrieval of patient data. This streamlines the diagnostic process and helps in maintaining a comprehensive medical record for each animal patient.
  • iStorage ™ allows for the direct transfer of images and reports to a PC via a network cable, making it convenient for data sharing, further analysis, and long – term storage.
  • The system is also DICOM 3.0 compliant, which enables seamless integration with other medical imaging systems and software, facilitating functions such as image storage, printing, and data sharing within a hospital or veterinary clinic’s network.
• Ergonomic Design:
  • The 60 – degree tilting angle adjustable monitor can be easily positioned for optimal viewing, reducing operator fatigue during long – term use.
  • The integrated design with an internal AC power adapter makes the system more compact and easier to handle.
  • The 15 – inch high – definition monitor with a full – screen design provides a large and clear display area.
  • The waterproof keyboard cover is designed to withstand the often messy environment of a veterinary clinic, protecting the keyboard from spills and dirt.
  • The backlit control panel is designed for better visibility, especially in low – light conditions, ensuring easy operation.
  • The system can be packed in a convenient hand – carried bag, further enhancing its portability for on – site or mobile veterinary services.
