GE Ultrasound: Probes and Accessories

National Ultrasound offers top of the line new and used ultrasound equipment from the best-rated brands. They offer stationary units, portable units, probes and transducers, and other options. They also offer a selection of warranties for both the units and their accessories.

Name brand models are often purchased with at least one attachment or accessory to meet the specific needs of the physician, veterinarian, scientist, or educator who will be using the unit. For example, an obstetrician may choose the GE Logiq e system with one of accompanying GE ultrasound probes, which will allow him the flexibility of providing the standard fetal ultrasound or a transvaginal ultrasound, as the situation warrants. A GI specialist may make different choices, perhaps using smaller probes or a transrectal attachment.

In addition to the GE ultrasound probes, other accessories that can be purchased with the Logiq systems include Doppler, 3D imaging, DVD recorder, foot pedals, VHS recorder, printer, and printer accessories. The probes, however, further expand the usage of the unit and the available probe choices include convex, convex abdominal, smaller convex, transvaginal, transrectal, combination probes, and others. These choices, as stated, are largely dictated by the primary use that the ultrasound system will be used for. The GE Logiq can be used for abdominal, breast, and small parts scans, primarily in the fields of cardiology, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, and vascular medicine.

Because of its capabilities for real time imaging and its benign nature, ultrasound is the technology of choice for finding abnormal areas of tissue to guide biopsy procedures, known simply as ultrasound-guided biopsy.

Common uses for the ultrasound guided biopsy is for the detection of breast cancer, prostate cancer, liver diseases, situations in the gastrointestinal tract, lymph node cancers, and more. The use of ultrasound helps doctors to be as minimally invasive to their patients as necessary.
