SONIMAGE HS1 delivers superior image quality and needle visualization to support rapid, confident decisions at the point-of-care. A simplified eight button console and intuitive touch screen combine with focused MSK exam presets to minimize the learning curve. Enhanced signal penetration, increased color flow sensitivity and improved resolution deliver detailed tissue differentiation, enabling clinicians to detect structures as small as several hundred microns. In conjunction with beam-steering technology, the HS1 incorporates an advanced algorithm that utilizes both the in-plane and the out-of-plane methods to improve needle visibility, especially in steep angle approaches. The resulting clarity of the needle enables increased accuracy in needle placement, making the portable system an ideal solution for pain management guided injections.

The J5 Ultrasound System offers touchscreen simplicity and intuitive workflow with focused MSK exams in a compact, portable footprint. It is well suited for evaluations that require needle visualization for ultrasound-guided injections and biopsies, and is optimized for the office environment. A three-second start-up time from standby, touch-enabled MSK specific settings and precise fingertip measurement control help improve workflow.
