penetration performance. It is a general purpose, mobile, software controlled diagnostic ultrasound
scanner. Its function is to acquire ultrasound data and to display the data of different modes.
Voluson® 730 gives the operator the ability to measure anatomical structures and offers analysis
packages that provide information that is used to make a diagnosis by competent health care
professionals.
The Calculation and Report function supports 4 application packages:

• Vascular Calculations
•
The Voluson® 730 supports a variety of linear-, curved-, phased array and pencil probes for various
clinical applications. Any three probes may be connected at the same time (+ one pencil CW-probe).

In addition to the initial operational settings for each transducer pre-programmed in the system, user-
customized parameter settings for each transducer may be inserted by the operator and stored for recall
as needed via the system control panel. System configuration is stored on the hard drive and all
necessary software is loaded from the hard drive on power up.
Biopsy guidelines are provided on screen to assist in the collection of tissue samples, using biopsy
guide adapters offered as an optional accessory.
The system provides the ability to perform remote viewing of images without compression, via DICOM
3.0 compatible output. Management of patient history is possible by "Sonoview" image-filing function.
High-resolution images are provided by utilizing a technology called digital dynamic receive focusing.
Signal flow travels from the Probe Connector Panel to the Front End Electronics, to the Back-End
Processor, and finally displayed on the monitor and peripherals.
