The ultrasound beam must not be directed to the eyes.
Abdominal and Related Applications
The probe applies ultrasound energy through the patient abdomen to obtain an
image of the abdominal organs to detect abnormalities (Imaging) and assess blood
velocity, flow and patency of abdominal vessels through the Doppler modalities.
Cardiac Applications
The probe applies ultrasound energy through the thoracic cavity to obtain an image
of the heart sufficient for evaluating any cardiac abnormalities. In Doppler modes,
the probe applies energy through the thoracic cavity to determine the velocity and
direction of blood in the heart and vessels.
The heart can also be studied through the esophagus and/or transgastrically with
a transesophageal probe.
Musculo-Skeletal
The probe applies ultrasound energy through the skin to obtain an image of
tendons, ligaments and muscles and to determine blood flow patterns and
velocities.
Obstetrical Application (for Reproductive studies)
The probe applies ultrasound energy through a pregnant woman’s abdomen
to obtain an image of the fetus(es) to detect structural abnormalities or to
visualize and measure anatomic and physiologic parameters of the fetus(es)
for the purpose of assessing fetal growth. In Doppler modes, the probe
applies energy through the patient abdomen to detect placental or fetal flow
abnormalities. An endocavity probe can also be used for the same purposes
(
endorectal
studies in large animals).
Note
Probe availability is dependent on your system configuration and
application. Not all probes and application are approved in all
Countries, please refer to your Esaote local representative for
further information.
