Built on a reliable Linux PC platform, the SONOACE PICO boasts all- digital beamforming and signal processing for best-in-class image resolution enhanced by a long list of advanced diagnostic tools such as harmonic imaging, color and power Doppler, and freehand 3D imaging.'

SonoGen (QW7437) is an anionically charged 2% perfluorocarbon emulsion under development as a transpulmonary myocardial ultrasound contrast agent (UCA). The SonoGen microbubbles have a reduced adherence to the negatively charged vascular endothelium and reduced coalescence. SonoGen, a second generation USCA has the theoretical potential to provide high safety and efficacy and improved tissue grayscale persistence compared to first generation fluorocarbon contrast agents.

The term 'sonogram' is often used interchangeably with 'ultrasound,' but it specifically refers to the resulting image or picture produced during a diagnostic ultrasound examination, also known as ultrasonography or sonography. It serves as a visual representation of the echoes detected by the transducer and provides detailed anatomical information about the area being examined. Sonograms are typically displayed on a monitor, printed on film, or stored digitally for further analysis and documentation by medical professionals such as sonographers and radiologists. They serve as invaluable diagnostic tools, aiding in the detection and evaluation of various medical conditions, as well as guiding interventions, ultrasound therapy, and treatment planning.
The term 'ultrasound' itself refers to the technology used during a sonogram, but it also finds several other applications beyond medical imaging. These include echolocation, crack detection, and cleaning, among others.

Anatomic structures respond with characteristic features on ultrasound scanning.
There are some ultrasound terms, referring to the echo appearance, that describes tissue appearance in a uniform manner:

Tendons characteristically are hyperechoic on ultrasound because of the fibrillar pattern. Ligaments appear hyperechoic when the beam is perpendicular to the tissue. Peripheral nerves are hyperechoic relative to muscle.
Muscle appears relatively hypoechoic to tendon fibers. Close observation reveals hypoechoic muscle fibers separated by hyperechoic septae that converge on a hyperechoic aponeurosis. Articular hyaline cartilage appears hypoechoic. The presence of fluid within the joint outlining the cartilage produces a thin bright echo at this interface.
Sound beams do not penetrate the bone cortex. The very bright echo produced at the interface allows both recognition of the bone cortex but also can demonstrate fracture, spurring and bone callus bridging. Abnormal soft tissue calcification and ossification also produces bright reflective echoes.
Cysts or fluid filled areas are without internal echoes and are called echo free or anechoic and may demonstrate enhanced soft tissue echoes posterior to the fluid collection. Inflamed metatarsal bursae and calcaneal bursae clearly depict fluid swelling.
