Product Overview

The SonoBook 6 VET by CHISON Medical Technologies is a compact, laptop-based veterinary ultrasound system designed for both small and large animal applications. It features a robust design weighing 5.5 kg, a 15-inch HD LED monitor with 120° rotation, and a 2-hour battery life for active outdoor scanning. The system is optimized for mobility and challenging veterinary environments.

Hardware and Accessories

• Dedicated Trolley: Small footprint with anti-theft lock, accessory basket, printer socket, pneumatic height adjustment, sonotriple connector, and ergonomic hand rest.
• Accessories: Includes PC and video printers, dedicated carrying case, and waterproof keyboard cover.

Transducers and Frequency Ranges

The system supports a variety of dedicated veterinary transducers tailored for different diagnostic needs:

• TM Micro-Convex: 2.0MHz - 6.8MHz (MC3-V)
• Micro-Convex: 4.0MHz - 12.0MHz (MC6-V)
• Trans-Rectal: 4.0MHz - 15.0MHz (R7-V)
• Linear with FHI: 7.0MHz - 18.0MHz (L12-V)
• Convex: 2.0MHz - 6.8MHz (C3-V)
• Linear: 4.0MHz - 15.0MHz (L7-V)
• Linear: 5.0MHz - 14.0MHz (L8M5-V)
• Phased Array: 1.5MHz - 5.3MHz (P2-V)

Advanced Imaging Technologies

• Quad-Beam Technology: Unlike traditional dual-beam systems, the SonoBook 6 VET uses quad-beam reception to double the signal volume and frame rate, enhancing diagnostic confidence and efficiency, especially for rapid movements in small animals.
• FHI (Frequency Harmonic Imaging): An innovative harmonic imaging technology that adapts transmission and reception based on patient size and weight, enabling deep penetration and maintaining image resolution in large animals. This technology outperforms traditional tissue and phased harmonics by preserving image quality at greater depths.

Software Features

• Dedicated veterinary calculation packages.
• Body marking and annotation tools.
• Specialized veterinary presets for various animal types and diagnostic needs.

Ergonomics and Usability

• Compact and lightweight design facilitates easy transport and scanning.
• Ergonomic design reduces scanning fatigue.
• High-frequency linear probes provide excellent resolution and penetration for superficial structures such as tendons, testicles, and intestines.
• Dedicated linear-rectal probe designed for large animal reproduction with durable black casing and ultra-long cable for safe operation distance.

Clinical Applications

The system supports multiple veterinary imaging modes including B-mode, PW (Pulsed Wave) Doppler, and BC (Brightness and Color) modes. Typical applications include canine cardiac, kidney, abdomen vessel imaging, and equine tendon evaluation.
