High diagnostic confidence. Superb applications flexibility. Advanced yet affordable technology. Peace of mind that comes from making Voluson ultrasound part of your practice. The Voluson S8 delivers what you’ve been looking for in an ultrasound system. 

Automation tools at your fingertips 

• SonoVCAD™heart (Sonography-based Volume Computer Aided Display heart) helps streamline the acquisition of volumetric images of the fetal heart, displaying all six recommended views with the push of one button
• SonoAVC™follicle (Sonography-based Automated Volume Count follicle) automatically calculates the number and volume of hypoechoic structures to speed follicular assessments 

• SonoVCADlabor (Sonography-based Volume Computer Aided Display labor) SonoVCADlabor automatically documents the labor procedure to help users evaluate
  second-stage labor progression.
• STIC (Spatio-Temporal Imaging Correlation) captures a full fetal heart cycle
  beating in real time, and the volume can be
  saved for offline analysis 

Monitor 

• 19-inch, flat-screen, adjustable LCD monitor. The large, high-resolution monitor helps to increase visibility and reduce eye fatigue.

Intuitive user interface 

• Console adjusts independently from the monitor, creating a flexible work center customizable for each user. Ergonomic and intuitive design provides fast access to frequently used functions. 

Convenient probe holders and touch-and-go probes 

• Accommodates up to 4 lightweight, efficient probes—for easy reach during exams and protection during transport

Sleek, lightweight console 

• Slides easily into small spaces and moves with ease.

Fewer keystrokes for faster exams 

• Intuitive design provides fast access to frequently used functions to help reduce exam times and eases learning curve. Automation tools help streamline exams and improve quality.  

Volume (3D/4D) Imaging—made easy 

• Multiple display options provide flexibility with a volume. Take advanced measurements with computational tools such as VOCAL and SonoAVC™follicle. Raw Data enables a virtual rescan
  of the patient after the exam from the console or workstation.

Easy Communication and Storage

• DICOM™ compliant and compatible with many EMR systems. USB ports make it easy to share data via memory sticks. The DVD drive doubles as a DVD recorder for streamlined workflow, and WLAN network connection provides wireless connectivity.

Advanced OB/GYN 

• With the addition of advanced probe and image enhancement tools, you can achieve greater visualization to support your decision-making.
• C1-5 abdominal probe for clear imaging of even your largest patients

• Wide bandwidth, high-frequency 3D convex probe (RAB4-8) for consistent image quality from first to third trimester scanning
• 3D wide field-of-view transvaginal probe (RIC5-9W) enabling you to see more anatomical information displayed in a single image Download the probe brochure

Early first and second-trimester evaluations 

• Voluson’s capabilities allow you to visualize anatomical information with clarity
• VCI (Volume Contrast Imaging) helps deliver higher contrast resolution in the acquisition plane, or all three planes of a volume, enabling higher-quality anatomical assessment.

• HD-Zoom capabilities help users localize regions of interest for closer study.
• TUI (Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging) helps simplify analysis and documentation of dynamic studies with a simultaneous view of multiple parallel slices of a volume data set.

Performing complex procedures

• Coded Contrast Imaging, which allows the detection of a contrast agent inside tissue to help enhance visualization and increase diagnostic confidence.

• Ultrasound elastography, a non-invasive, diagnostic technique performed in correlation with conventional B-mode ultrasound. Elastography provides highly-detailed information about internal tissue structures during breast and gynecologic evaluations.

Fetal cardiac assessment

The Voluson S8 system helps facilitate more detailed fetal cardiac assessments with a suite of advanced fetal echo imaging technologies:

• STIC (Spatio Temporal Image Correlation) enables detailed three-dimensional images of the heart that can be viewed in motion. Clinicians can visualize an entire fetal heart cycle – information that can help improve detection of fetal heart defects.

• Anatomical M-mode helps improve accuracy of arrhythmia assessments and cardiac measurements.
• SonoVCADheart (Sonography-based Volume Computer Aided Display) helps streamline the acquisition of volumetric images of the fetal heart, displaying all six recommended views with the push of one button, helping clinicians conduct comprehensive exams.
