Voluson 730 Expert

Product Description
The Voluson® 730 Expert is our leadership imaging system designed for obstetrics, gynecology,
neonatal, abdominal, vascular, urology, trans-cranial, cardiology and small parts applications
combining premium image quality with the unique volume ultrasound technology.

GE’s Voluson 730 is among the most trusted women’s healthcare systems in the world. Today
more than 7,000 systems are in use, imaging more than 15 million women each year.
Thousands of articles and studies attest to the clinical efficacy of Voluson’s industry-leading
volume imaging technologies.

Here are just a few examples of how GE is bringing you more:

• Speckle Reduction Imaging (SRI) heightens the

visibility of organs and lesions through improved
contrast resolution and border detection while
reducing artifact characteristics of ultrasound.

• CrossXBeamCRI™ (CRI) enhances tissue and

border differentiation with an exclusive spatial
compounding acquisition and processing technique.

• HD-Flow™ is a bi-directional power Doppler feature

that enables a more sensitive vascular study and
reduces the overwriting associated with standard color
Doppler.

• Volume Contrast Imaging (VCI) allows for better

assessment of size, margins and internal structures of
lesions through maximized image quality in all three
planes.

• Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging (TUI) makes

analysis and documentation of dynamic studies easier
by providing a simultaneous view of multiple slices of
a volume data set.

• Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation (STIC) is an innovative technique that allows clinicians

to quickly capture a full fetal heart cycle beating in real-time and save the volume for later
analysis.
