10L4: High-resolution imaging for demanding clinical applications
The Siemens Healthineers 10L4 transducer is an essential component of the ACUSON Sequoia ultrasound system, renowned for its superior image quality and clinical versatility. This linear transducer features a piezoceramic Multi-D architecture, optimised to provide detailed imaging of superficial structures. Its extended bandwidth of 2.9 to 9.9 MHz allows for precise adaptation to diagnostic needs, providing sharp, high-contrast images even in complex anatomical areas.
With an axial resolution of 0.3 mm and a lateral resolution of 0.52 mm, the 10L4 ensures fine tissue visualisation, essential for vascular, musculoskeletal, dermatological and paediatric examinations. Its 38 mm field of view and 49.3 x 18.9 mm physical footprint ensure optimal coverage while facilitating handling in a variety of clinical environments.
Technology and extended compatibility
The 10L4 is equipped with gesture detection, an innovative feature that improves user interaction and exam flow. It is compatible with several imaging modes, including:
- Strain elastography
- 2D shear wave elastography
- Punctual shear wave elastography
- Contrast imaging
- Fused imaging
These capabilities enable functional tissue assessment, improved lesion characterisation and increased precision in interventional procedures. The transducer also supports colour Doppler, pulsed Doppler and tissue harmonic modes, offering maximum flexibility in haemodynamic analysis.
Ergonomics, connectivity and dedicated accessories
Weighing 723 g, the 10L4 is designed for extended use without compromising operator comfort. Its 2.1-metre cable and compact pinless connector ensure a reliable and fast connection to the ACUSON Sequoia system. It is compatible with the Verza™ needle guidance system, which offers five selectable depths (from 2.2 cm to 13 cm), facilitating interventional procedures such as biopsies or infiltrations.
The 10L4 transducer embodies the technological excellence of Siemens Healthineers, combining imaging performance, functionality and ergonomics to meet the needs of healthcare professionals in a variety of clinical settings.
