GE Vivid i ultrasound machine
Incredible progress has been made with portable ultrasound machines over the last two decades and now these compact machines are often as powerful as full size console systems, plus they have come down tremendously in price to the point where there’s a model for just about any budget. Just as GE Healthcare is a worldwide leader in full size console ultrasound machines, the company is acclaimed for their line of portable ultrasound machines. So when it comes to comparing which refurbished portable ultrasound to buy, you will have no problem finding a GE model to meet your needs. Let’s do an ultrasound machine comparison between the GE Vivid i and GE LOGIQ e.
The first thing you will notice when comparing these GE ultrasound machines is that both are incredibly small. The Vivid i model weighs just 11 pounds with dimensions of 12” x 15” x 3”, making is about the size of a laptop computer. But its small package is loaded with powerful performance, including 2D, color and Doppler imaging, plus the ability to hold a huge amount of data on its 40GB hard drive. It’s hard to beat this machine for portability because it can scan for up to a full hour on a single battery charge. It also features a variety of wireless communication options so it can be used just about anywhere, and it’s versatile enough for almost any application.
By comparison, the GE LOGIQ ultrasound machine is also incredibly small at about 10 pounds and with the ability to boot up in less than 20 seconds it is also lightning fast. The GE LOGIQ e model features a 15” monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution and automatic image optimization at the push of the button. Because these two GE models are fairly similar, the tiebreaker in your ultrasound machine comparison might just come down to finding the best price and best deal on either model.
