M12L-H Wide-Band Linear 1.25D Matrix Array Transducer by GE HealthCare
The M12L-H from GE HealthCare is a high-performance imaging solution, specifically designed for small parts imaging, pediatric applications, peripheral vascular evaluations, and orthopedic examinations. Equipped with a wide-band linear 1.25D matrix array transducer, this device leverages ultrasound technology to offer clinicians exceptional image quality and diagnostic confidence in the most complex clinical scenarios.
The M12L-H's compact footprint, measuring 38 x 6 mm, allows for precise imaging in small and hard-to-reach areas of the body. This is particularly beneficial in breast imaging, where detailed visualization of tissue structures is essential for accurate diagnostics. The small footprint is also advantageous for pediatric and orthopedic applications, where smaller anatomies and joints require highly focused and precise images.
Equipped with a wide frequency range of 5 to 13 MHz, the M12L-H supports high-frequency imaging that offers exceptional resolution for various clinical uses. This broad frequency range ensures the transducer is versatile enough to handle both superficial imaging tasks and deeper tissue visualization, catering to a wide array of clinical needs. The M12L-H provides the clarity needed to detect subtle tissue changes, ensuring early diagnosis and treatment.
One of the key features of the M12L-H is its 1.25D matrix technology. This configuration enhances focus and image quality by using multiple rows of elements, providing better control over focus in both the lateral and elevational planes. This design reduces artifacts and improves contrast resolution, producing sharper images and better tissue differentiation. Clinicians can thus rely on the M12L-H for more accurate diagnostics, improving patient outcomes and streamlining the diagnostic process.
The 37.4 mm field of view (FOV) of the M12L-H further enhances its imaging capabilities. With a wide FOV in a compact device, clinicians can visualize larger areas without compromising detail or clarity. This is particularly important in vascular imaging, where precise visualization of small blood vessels can make a significant difference in diagnosing conditions such as peripheral arterial disease or venous insufficiency.
In addition to its powerful imaging capabilities, the M12L-H is designed for ease of use. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort during prolonged scanning sessions, reducing operator fatigue. Furthermore, its lightweight construction makes it easy to maneuver, allowing clinicians to capture high-quality images quickly and efficiently.
The M12L-H transducer is part of GE HealthCare's Expert range, which emphasizes precision, innovation, and reliability. The combination of wide-band technology, high resolution, and a compact footprint ensures that the M12L-H can deliver exceptional performance in the most demanding medical environments.
