Vascular ultrasound

A universal platform for vascular ultrasound

Ultrasound has significant strengths in vascular imaging. Widely available, easy to use and without ionizing radiation, it helps clinicians efficiently assess and monitor vascular disease, enabling delivery of exceptional patient care even for patients who are difficult to scan effectively, such as those with high BMIs.
