Types of GE Ultrasound Machines

In addition to matching various systems with your clinical needs and budget, it can help to look at the various types of GE ultrasound machines.

First, it can help to determine whether you want a smaller, portable or a larger, and possibly more advanced console ultrasound. Secondly, you can narrow down your search by looking for your ultrasound based on the model line. And lastly, you can make the search easier by understanding the different GE ultrasound model names and their meaning.

Portable or Console?

Within each of the various GE ultrasound lines, you can easily distinguish between portable and console machines. This difference is indicated by a letter.

With the console machines, you have:

If you have a console ultrasound (P, S, or E), these systems are then followed by a number. Lower numbers indicate a lower-end machine, so if you have a P5 or P6, for example, the P6 ultrasound will have a couple more features than the P5.

The portable ultrasound machines are also categorized by a letter. The portable systems have:

Breakdown of GE Ultrasound Lines

Including both portable and console machines, GE ultrasounds can be broken down into three main product lines, including the Vivid Line, the Voluson line, and the Logiq line.

The Vivid Line

If your primary use is cardiovascular, Vivid ultrasounds are likely the systems for you. Most Vivid ultrasounds also provide numerous benefits for OB/GYN and general radiology for shared-service imaging.

The Vivid line of ultrasounds includes low-end to the most premium cardiovascular and shared services ultrasound machines. The Vivid line also has more portable options as well. A few of the GE Vivid ultrasounds include:

The Voluson Line

Voluson ultrasounds are designed for OB/GYN and women’s health, and these machines are the premium 4D ultrasounds available on the market today.

As such, if you want to conduct 4D OB/GYN imaging, and 4D is important to your practice, then you’re going to want to start with the portable and console Voluson ultrasounds.

Voluson ultrasounds are also ideal for neonatal, pediatric cardiology, vascular, and general imaging. Some models in the Voluson line include:

The Logiq line

GE Logiq ultrasounds are best for radiology needs in which cardiac and/or 4D imaging are not the primary clinical needs. In fact, Logiq shared-service ultrasounds fit between the Voluson’s 4D technology and the Vivid cardiovascular line.

Many users consider the Logiq line to be the oldest and safest bet when purchasing a new or refurbished ultrasound, as these systems are designed to meet the widest range of clinical applications.

Although you can achieve good cardiac and 4D imaging, Logiq ultrasounds are optimal for OB/GYN, vascular, venus, breast, radiology, MSK, urology, small parts, and more. If you’re imaging patients for these reasons, you’ll likely start with the Logiq line of machines.

Some options in the Logiq line include:

GE Ultrasound Transducers

In addition to finding the right system, it’s essential to get the most benefit from your machine by using the best ultrasound transducers. By imaging with high-end transducers, you can maximize penetration without sacrificing image quality.

While system compatibility and intended primary usage are fundamental factors when buying a GE transducer, it’s also important to consider how you want to visualize anatomical information.

Generally, you can pair your ultrasound with the right transducer by looking at compatible models for the specific ultrasound lines.

The types of transducers available for each product line include:
