Experience the future.
ArtUs represents the synthesis of Telemed’s commitment to the pursuit of excellence, with the adoption of the latest technological solutions:
Full digital beamformer, Parallel Beamforming, Advanced Spatial Compound (linear and convex), Tissue Harmonics with Pulse Inversion technology (iTHI), WideView imaging (linear and convex), Advanced Speckle Reduction Imaging, Digital Doppler Multi-Beam Processing, Raw Data. The system supports a wide range of high crystal density, multi-frequency wideband transducers from 1.0 to 18.0 MHz.
In Parallel Beamforming mode, the system allows a very high frame rate. Telemedicine applications allow remote control of the system for remote consultation, application training and technical support, including free software updates. In its research version, it can be configured with I/O synchronization options, RF Data Access.
