Commitment to Early Health

We aim to help you improve patient care with technology that allows you to focus on early prevention rather than late diagnosis. Our goal is to help clinicians detect disease earlier, access additional information and intervene sooner. We call this model of care Early Health.

  • RIC6-12-D probe — high resolution volume endovaginal probe helps you detect fine details early in the first trimester and in gynaecological exams.
  • SonoNT* (Sonography-based Nuchal Translucency) and SonoIT* (Sonography-based Intracranial Translucency) – Voluson technologies that help provide semi-automatic, standardized measurements of the nuchal and intracranial translucency as early as 11 weeks. Both tools can integrate easily into your workflow. SonoNT helps reduce the inter-and-intra-observer variability that comes with manual measurements, and helps provide you with the reproducibility you demand.

Continuing to be a leader in fetal cardiac assessment technology
