What is ACCUVIX V10?

The ACCUVIX V10 is a high-resolution color ultrasound scanner with high penetration and a
variety of measurement functions.

Features and Advantages of ACCUVIX V10

High-end Digital Beam Forming The ACCUVIX V10 utilizes the newly developed
Digital Beam forming technology.

A variety of applications The ACCUVIX V10 is optimized for use in a variety of

ultrasound departments, including general, abdomen, obstetrics, gynecology, vascular,
extremity, pediatric, cardiac, breast, urology, and etc.

Various diagnostic Modes - 2D Mode, M Mode, Color Doppler Mode, Power Doppler
Mode, PW Spectral Doppler Mode, CW Spectral Doppler Mode, ElastoScanTM
Mode(Except USA, CANADA, and JAPAN), etc.

3D / 4D images can be obtained.

Measurement and Report Functions Besides the basic distance, area, circumference
and volume measurement functions, the ACCUVIX V10 also provides applicationspecific measurement functions. The report function collates measurement data.

Review of Scanned Images The ACCUVIX V10 displays the maximum Cine images
of 5242 frames and the maximum loop images of 8192 lines.

SONOVIEWTM - This is a total ultrasound image management system, which allows a

user to archive, view and exchange documents.

Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) Function - This is used to

archive, transmit and print DICOM images through a network.

Peripheral/Accessory Connection A variety of peripheral devices including VCRs

and printers can be easily connected to the ACCUVIX V10.
