From SIUI Inc.;
'The Apogee 800Plus ultrasound system offers a new level of high quality in image. With broad clinical application, the system delivers ease of use for cardiac and vascular exams.'
'Due to the exceptional image quality, the sensitivity of color Doppler and many other advanced features, the Apogee 800Plus offers complete diagnosis capability for your entire patient population, including abdominal, obstetrics, gynecology, adult cardiology, pediatric cardiology, peripheral vascular, small parts, breast, prostate, transcranial, etc.'

(TCD) Transcranial color Doppler sonography allows to evaluate the presence and flow direction of vessels as well as their relationships to surrounding structures.
A disadvantage of cerebrovascular ultrasonography is the attenuation of the ultrasound signal by the skull. The loss of power through the skull is considerable, the signal to noise ratio is poor and so contrast enhanced Doppler imaging is advantageous. The use of ultrasound contrast agents provides a diagnostic window of sufficient duration and imaging quality to improve an evaluation of the cerebral vessels. Contrast TCD also results in visualization of small arteries and veins and greater length of these vessels.
