Our latest quick video of ultrasound equipment is here. We reviewed the Acuson X150 and the video will give you a good idea of how it functions, what it looks like and an idea of how easy it is to use. Correction: Apparently, there's not a bi-plane transducer at this time, for that you'd still need the G20. By the time you read this, however, it's possible the probe is available. Call me at 866-347-7633 if you have questions.

In a nutshell, it's no secret that ultrasound has come a long way and it's often hard to tell the difference between some of these. The Acuson X150 has a very easy user-interface and is rock-solid. It follows in Acuson's tradition with a commiment to the long-lasting platform that addresses techs and physicians needs. I spoke with the engineers and apps people at Siemens and they're relieved/excited to have a new, solid product line that can, once again, sell itself.

Acuson X150 Ultrasound Machine

We took a look at the Acuson X150 and the above video is a quick synopsis of its ease of use and outstanding quality. It's a mid-range system at a low-range price. With solid color Doppler, harmonic imaging, easy-to-use interface, and overall excellent image quality, this is EXCELLENT for small-mid size offices performing OB/GYN, Endocrinology, musculoskeletal, anesthesia, vascular, venous, abdominal, breast and many other applications. It's perfect for physician use and is easy to learn and use.

Sunday, GE announced that it's adding another system to its already-full line of Logiq series ultrasounds. It now has 19 different "Logiq" series ultrasounds listed on its website. It's like GE is trying to cannibalize itself by confusing the heck out of its reps and customers. Here's the story from DotMed:

Quoted from http://www.dotmed.com/news/story/8991:

DOTmed.com - GE Healthcare Launches New Voluson E6 and LOGIQ PS Ultrasound

CHICAGO, IL -- Today, GE Healthcare (NYSE: GE) launches two new ultrasound systems for the women's health market, the Voluson® E6 and LOGIQ® P3. Both systems are being showcased May 4-6, at the 57th Annual Clinical Meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), in Chicago at GE Healthcare's booth #1315.

The article goes on to quote Karl-Heinz Lumpi, GM of GE's women's health and specialty ultrasound. He says "The LOGIQ P3 is an economical, compact console ultrasound system offering surprising performance that can help clinicians deliver advanced imaging to OB/GYN practices." I thought that's what they said about the Loigq 3, P5, P6, Logiq 5 and Logiq 5 Pro. Sure, there will be differences, but what customer wants to hear about 19 different products available to them (not including the 6 different Voluson products that are sold to similar markets). I can't imagine this is a fun sales call.
