ProSound Alpha 5

Aloka Ultrasound Alpha 5SX - Premium Performance System

The ProSound Alpha 5 is Aloka's workhorse digital diagnostic ultrasound system for the operating room. Aloka's ProSound technology transmits and receives noise-free signals providing diagnostic information in a pure sound field.
Aloka's advanced microcircuit technology provides for large-scale integration of the electronic circuit allowing for the creation of a high-density digital front-end. The resulting crisp and clear image contributes to more efficient and accurate examinations.
The system also features state or the art functions which include:
Microspatial Compounding (for a more densely rich image)
Pixel-Focus (for sharp detail in both near and far fields)
iDMS (for hassle free image storage and retrieval).
Alpha 5 is also designed to work with Aloka's wide variety of surgical specialty transducers.

Features

• Hemispheric Sound Technology Transducers
  Aloka’s surgical HST transducers suppress side lobe artifacts three-dimensionally due to high-density transducer element fabrication and beam management in the elevation direction. This allows the fundamental ultrasound beam to be sharper and closer to the ideal beam shape than with conventional transducers. The result is higher resolution images with substantially less artifact
• 12 Bit Digital Beamformer
  Aloka’s high density digital front end allows a wider dynamic range for superior contrast resolution. With a 12 bit digital beamformer ultrasound images are inherently sharper and more detailed.
• Microspatial Compounding
  Five ultrasound transmission beams per piezoelectric crystal combine to display truer, less interpolated, more complete image of the desired anatomical structure. The individual views are automatically combined, then artifact is automatically subtracted and real structures enhanced.
• Unparalleled Image Quality
  Pure Sound Transmission – superior penetration and exceptional resolution
  Pixel Focus – Enables uniform beam characteristics from near to far fields
  Quint Frequency Imaging – All probes can be adjusted up to five different frequencies
  Dual Dynamic Display – Simultaneous real-time display of B and B/Flow Mode images
• Exceptional Reliability
  With over 50 years of experience in diagnostic ultrasound imaging, ALOKA is a recognized leader in system reliability
• Outstanding Data Management and Networking Solutions
  • Application Specific Reporting Packages
  • iDMS (Integrated Data Management System) to manage patient images and demographic information
  • DICOM
