The Good
Ultrasound imaging platform that can provide high quality data
The Bad
Training and practice will be needed to become proficient, user interface is a bit complicated
The Bottom Line
this is a high quality ultrasound imaging system. it is highly regarded for pre-clinical cardiovascular imaging studies. Several software modules and expansions allow streamlined workflows for analyzing cardiac, vascular, etc. datasets.The caveat is you will need a skilled operator to acquire the images (or need training and practice). most people can get adequate images with about 1-2 weeks of practice. The system has a lot of settings that can be adjusted and the button layout is a bit complicated which will take some familiarization time to get comfortable with.The new version of the system is the Vevo 3100, I intend to upgrade once I can secure the budget - I have been generally happy with the quality of the instrument and the service/support from fujifilm/visualsonics.
