£40,000 for a high-quality tendon scanner? Not any more
High resolution imaging is essential for the effective scanning of equine tendons and ligaments, but veterinarians now have options beyond the traditional names of GE or Sonosite. In the ultrasound world, trends can change quickly. As one manufacturer turns their attentions and resources towards another area, so another company will step up to invest and become the new leader in the gap left behind. In human echocardiography, for example, Siemens used to be market leaders; after successive years of underinvestment, they now play third fiddle to GE and Philips.
And this is precisely the type of trend we are seeing with Siui in the equine world; a manufacturer who in recent years have invested heavily in their linear imaging, at a time when many others have been reallocating resources to other areas.
Siui’s team is made up of engineers from big companies like Siemens, cardiologists, and experienced sonographers from around the globe. The Siui ultrasound range delivers stunning image quality, powerful software and expert support that rivals any of the big names in ultrasound. The Apogee 2300 is Siui’s flagship portable ultrasound machine, and their number one offering for equine veterinarians.
Ideal for equine
Musculoskeletal imaging is an area in which the Apogee 2300 really excels. One of the greatest strengths of this series is its stunning B-mode image quality, and its high resolution linear probe really shows this at its best. Such clarity ensures that every diagnosis is fast and simple.
This system can also be equipped with a large convex probe for abdominal scanning, or linear rectal for pregnancy diagnosis and fertility work.
