Technology is continuing to move forward. A quick bedside diagnosis can now be performed using the Titan ultrasound system from SonoSite.
Some features of the Titan, as listed on the manufacturer's website:
- Full diagnostic capability. High quality imaging; color power Doppler (CPD); pulsed wave (PW) Doppler; Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI); M-mode; SiteLink DICOM; on-board DICOM .
- Versatility of two systems in one. The TITAN system can be used in its Mobile Docking System (MDS) or as a mobile point-of-care solution using the mini-Dock.
- Rugged design. Durability that meets the demands of mobile applications including potential droppage and substantial wear and tear.
- Flexibility. Upgrade path for new capabilities, including Triple Transducer Connect (TTC) that allows for rapid application changes.
- Reliable, fast technology. State-of-the-art ASIC based system cold boots in seconds and offers highly consistent performance.
- Convenient industry standard flashcard storage. High capacity for on-board information storage.
Combine this with a 21.3-centimeter LCD screen, 3.5 kilograms of weight, 2 to 3 hours on a single battery run and 12 seconds "boot time", and you have a very powerful echo system. Also check out their clinical images page. Price tag? Just $40,000. Delivery date? June 2004.
