The Philips L12-3 ultrasound probe is a versatile tool suitable for a range of imaging applications including musculoskeletal, superficial vascular, breast, and small parts examinations. Equipped with various modes, it offers comprehensive imaging capabilities tailored to different diagnostic needs. These modes include:
2D imaging: Provides detailed two-dimensional images of the target area.
Steerable pulsed wave and color Doppler: Enables clinicians to assess blood flow dynamics and directionality using Doppler ultrasound techniques.
Color power angio (CPA): Enhances visualization of blood flow by highlighting areas of vascularization.
SonoCT: Offers real-time compound imaging for improved tissue delineation and contrast resolution.
Variable XRES: Allows for adjustable spatial compounding to further enhance image quality and reduce artifacts.
Multivariate harmonic imaging: Utilizes multiple harmonic frequencies to improve penetration and resolution, particularly in difficult-to-image patients or structures.
