Continuous improvements in technology are leading to higher resolution images and thus to new applications, which is also an important contribution to cost reduction by replacing more expensive and harmful diagnostics.

Diagnostic ultrasound is the most innovative sector of the diagnostic imaging market today and constitutes the largest imaging modality worldwide.
 

sonoTECH´s technical expertise covers every item throughout ultrasound imaging and Doppler technology from low noise front ends, high performance analog or digital beam formers, spectral and color Doppler processing modules to digital scan converters and cine loop subsystems.

Ultrasound Know-how

sonoTECH's engineering department has developed a number of successful technologies including:

Analogue Beam Forming for linear and curved array transducers in the frequency range from 1.0 MHz to 10.0 MHz. Our sophisticated analogue beam forming technology with 32 or more channels achieves an outstanding image quality at a very competitive cost level. The high dynamic range in combination with the low noise levels results in sharp, clear and crisp 2D, Spectral Doppler and Color Flow images.

The Imaging System for Mechanical Probes (2 MHz to 15 MHz), including digitally controlled servo module for mechanical probes, which supports transducer geometries up to 360 degrees.

Digital Beam Forming allows finer delay quantization, higher phase accuracy and more versatility for linear-curved and phased array high end ultrasound systems.

The Digital Scan Converter performs continuous zooming of living and even frozen images, with cine loop capabilities of up to 256 images for linear and sector geometries with scan angles up to 360 degrees.

The Physiological Channels Module including ECG.

All Color Doppler modes like velocity mode, velocity-variance mode, intensity mode, directional intensity mode, tissue doppler mode and B-Flow are supported at fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
