VF13-5 Linear Transducer for Versatile Imaging
The VF13-5 is a linear transducer developed by Siemens as part of the ACUSON P500 ultrasound system. It is designed to provide reliable and effective medical imaging in many clinical specialties. With its extended frequency range of 4.1 to 12.1 MHz, it enables accurate visualisation of superficial anatomical structures.
This transducer covers a wide range of applications: cerebrovascular, peripheral arteries and veins (PV-Arterial, PV-Venous), thyroid, testicle, breast, musculoskeletal and emergency medicine. Its virtual format imaging technology improves the representation of the areas being explored, while the two-dimensional steerable beam allows for optimal adjustment of the examination angle.
The VF13-5 is designed with the healthcare professional in mind: its ergonomic format ensures a good grip, while its light weight and flexible cable make it easy to manoeuvre, even in emergency situations or during prolonged use.
The integrated MultiHertz™ feature allows the practitioner to select different frequencies, ensuring adaptability to clinical needs and patient profiles. This flexibility makes the transducer particularly effective in demanding medical environments with varied protocols.
The key features, applications and design advantages of the VF13-5 make this transducer the tool of choice for professionals seeking versatility and diagnostic accuracy.
