Find the most suitable General Imaging Ultrasound!

General ultrasound is a basic procedure for routine examinations for the purpose of periodic health checks of all organs in the body or evaluation of known diseases. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging method and is often indicated in the examination and diagnosis of many different diseases.

A general imaging ultrasound machine can provide good images for abdominal, vascular, musculoskeletal, small parts and urology applications.

With years of experience in ultrasound, Rongxi Medical are very confident to recommend ultrasound machines based upon their features, image quality, options and price.

The best economy general imaging ultrasound machines:

Recommended systems:

GE Logiq P5 premium, Philips ClearVue 550, Siemens X150

General imaging ultrasound machines do not require as many high-end features as ultrasound machines optimized to other applications. Because of this the economy general imaging ultrasound category does a good job of providing everything that is necessary and not loosing too much in image quality to bring the price down to economy levels. If you are a radiologist, general practitioner, or physician specialized in MSK (musculoskeletal) in a private practice or with a low budget then the economy general imaging ultrasound segment will be perfect for your needs. All brands have good GI products and no one brand stands out from the other in this category.

The Philips ClearVue 550 offers the best image quality in the economy general imaging segment, however the ClearVue 550 has only 4 probe options. The ClearVue 550 offers the biggest monitor in this segment and has the newest, fastest hardware. The GE Logiq-P5 premium is much the opposite. It is an older design using more dated hardware and probes, but it has the largest selection of probes among the economy general imaging ultrasounds. The Siemens X150 sits somewhere in-between these two opposites in terms of probe options. The X150 does not have the 4D expandability of the Logiq P5. The articulating monitor arm and wireless image transfer are unusual features at this price point. For those who like the Siemens workflow, the X150 offers an inexpensive alternative.
