ULTRASOUND: GE LOGIQ BOOK XP

GE LOGIQ BOOK XP

This is a popular portable ultrasound because of its aggressive price point, size, ease-of-use and surprisingly good image quality. In addition, we've been very pleased with the stability of this unit, particularly because of its small size and reliability on software rather than hardware. It has image quality of some mid-range units, but is 300lbs lighter and it's essentially hand-held. It packs a lot in a very small package: Tissue Harmonics Imaging, Automatic Tissue Optimization, wide range of transducers, fully digital, DICOM 3.0, Bluetooth Wireless Reporting, WiFi support, and 2 USB ports so images can be transferred easily to flash drive or other media. This is perfect for emergency medicine/ready-care, mobile applications, and small offices that need a good inexpensive ultrasound that won't take up much real-estate in their office. This unit is good for general vascular/small parts, musculoskeletal, OB/GYN, breast, and abdominal. It also has a basic cardiac function, but no CW Doppler. The Logiqbook XP is among our favorite machines because of its price-point, size, and versatility for multiple environments.
