Sonoscape S8

S8 is a high-end color Doppler HCU (Hand-Carried Ultrasound) from SonoScape.
This system clearly expresses the words of "an ever-higher standard of Echo HCU'.
Although S8 is a HCU system, its performance is equal
to high-end cart-based echo ultrasound systems.
This flagship HCU is incorporated with high configuration
to meet the strictest requirements from a cardiologist, such as adult TEE,
pediatric TEE, high frequency phased array, 15 MHz linear transducer,
512 super high-density transducers, 4D imaging function, and so on.

Features
HCU design with two transducer sockets; Convertible trolley design
15" LCD monitor with a super large imaging area
Full cardiovascular transducers: TEE, Pediatric TEE, Phased array,
High frequency phased array, High-frequency linear, etc.
High-density transducers with frequency ranges from 1.9 to 15MHz
Integrated with state-of-the-art technologies, like μ-scan technology, IMT,
multiple-beam processing, automatic flow volume analysis, 4D imaging technology, etc.
Comprehensive cardiovascular analysis kits: TDI, Steer M, Color M; CW, HPRF, Panoramic image, etc.
Full patient database solutions: DVD RW, DICOM3.0, AVI/JPG, USB2.0, HDD, PDF report, etc.
Built-in high capacity Li-ion battery

Application
Liver. The ultrasonic examination of the liver is a relatively
high informative method. The doctor evaluates the dimensions of the liver,
its structure, and homogeneity, local disturbances as well as the blood flow condition.
The ultrasonic examination allows detecting both diffusive changes
in the liver (liver steatosis, chronic active liver disease, cirrhosis)
and local (fluid formalities and tumor mass).

The gall bladder and bile passages. Besides the liver itself, the state
of the gall bladder and bile passages is also examined: their dimensions,
the thickness of the paries, patency, the presence of concrements,
the state of the connective tissue. In most cases,
the ultrasonic examination allows detecting the concrements in the gall.
Pancreatic gland. During the examination of the pancreatic gland,
the doctors can evaluate its dimensions, form, boundaries,
homogeneity of parenchyma, the presence of formalities.
Kidney and atrabiliary capsules, retroperitoneal space.
During the examination of the kidney, the doctors evaluate their number,
arrangement, dimensions, form, boundaries, structure of parenchyma
and pelvicalyceal system.
The ultrasonic examination allows detecting the anomalies of the kidney,
the presence of concrements, fluid formalities, and tumor mass
as well as changes resulting from inveterate and pathological lancinating processes in kidney.
The ultrasonic examination can be used for the detection
of the indication of intestinal obstruction and indirect indication
of the adhesive process. With the help of ultrasonic examination
the doctor can detect the presence of free liquid in the abdominal cavity
(if it is in a great number) that can play an important role in the treatment policy
of a number of therapeutic and surgical disorders and injuries.
Thyroid gland. The ultrasonic examination is the crucial in the examination
of the thyroid gland because it allows detecting the presence of ganglions,
hydatids, the changes in the dimensions and structure.
Cardiology, cardiosurgery. Echocardiography is the ultrasonic diagnostics
of the heart diseases. This examination evaluates the dimensions of the heart
and its particular structures (ventricle of the heart, auricle, ventricular septum,
thickness of ventricular myocardium, auricle, etc.) the presence
and the volume of fluid in the pericardial – “pericardial sac”, the state of the valves.
With the help of special calculations and sizing,
echocardiology allows detecting the heart mass, contractility of the heart
- ejection fraction, etc. There are special guides that help to observe during
the operation the state of the mitral valve situated between the ventricle
and auricle.
Tocology, gynecology, prenatal diagnostics. The ultrasonic examination
is used for examination of the internal female genital neoplasms,
the state of the gravid uterus, anatomy,
and monitoring of the Embryo-fetal development. This effect is widely
used in the tocology because the sound from the venter can be easily registered.
At the early stages of pregnancy, the sound gets through the bladder.
When the venter is filled with the fluid it starts to conduct the sound.
The position of the placenta is detected by the sounds of blood getting through it,
and within 9-10 weeks from the moment of the fetation the doctor can listen
to the beating of its heart. The number of foetuses and the death of the foetus
can be detected with the help of ultrasound examination.
Muscle and skeletal examinations. The ultrasonic examination is used
to detect traumatic injuries and inflammatory disease of joints (shoulder, knee, etc.),
muscles, bands, meniscus, chorda, arthrosis.
