SmartUs EXT-1M/3M

High Performance Echo Color Doppler

SmartUs EXT is an advanced PC-based, open-architecture, Echo Color Doppler system.It is the result of years of research and development by TELEMED Ultrasound Beamforming Technology and redefines the experience of ultrasound diagnostics.

  • Clinical images
  • Transducers
  • Documentation
  • Software
  • An excellent choice for clinical ultrasound.

    SmartUs incorporates the latest technological solutions developed by TELEMED: Full digital beamformer, Spatial Compound, Tissue Harmonics with Pulse Inversion technology (iTHI), WideView imaging, Advanced Speckle Reduction Imaging, Digital Doppler Multi-Beam Processing, Raw Data. Available with one or three probe connectors, the system supports a wide range of high crystal density, multi-frequency wideband transducers from 1.0 to 18.0 MHz. Uncompromising image quality in general, abdominal, obstetrician-gynaecological, vascular, small parts, musculoskeletal, urological, cardiac, eco-guided procedures. Telemedicine applications allow remote control of the system for consultation, application training and technical support, including free software updates. In its research version, it can be configured with I/O synchronization options.
