The Vevo® 2100 system expands the functionality, flexibility and image quality of the Vevo 770 system, operating at frequencies never before achieved with solid-state array transducers. The new MicroScan™ transducers provide increased frame rates, superb contrast, unrivaled resolution and a wider field of view. The system is easy to use, non-invasive and fast, providing extremely high throughput when needed.

  • Color and Power Doppler Modes for blood flow quantification and anatomical identification

  • M-Mode single line acquisition allowing high-temporal resolution for LV functional analysis

  • Anatomical M-Mode for adjustable anatomical orientation in reconstructed M-Mode imaging

  • 3D-Mode imaging and volume analysis

  • Nonlinear contrast imaging

  • VevoStrain™ Analysis software for cardiac research
