What our customers say
Fetal Cardiology : e-Flow
I normally use the Alpha 10 which gives me a clear picture of the fetal heart and the opportunity to enhance the quality of information with good color flow Doppler. It also offers alternative forms of Doppler, such as Power Doppler imaging and eFlow technology - the latter is particularly helpful in early scans. The image quality is very high, with clear definition of anatomy and physiology and provides me with the information that I need.
