KX5600v Equine Scanner

Adjustable depth:

• Up to 236 mm (dependent on transducer choice).
• Important for scanning structures at varying depths, from surface to deeper tissues.

Gain: 0-127 dB.

Contrast: 27-90 dB.

Grey Scale: 256.

• Allows high contrast or a wide range of greys.
• Useful for abdominal scans (wide greys for texture differences) and echocardiography (higher contrast for clarity).
• Ideal for pregnancy detection in animals: high contrast for early stages, wide greys for detailed images in later stages.

8 TGC levels:

• Fine-tunes gain settings for perfect optimization.
• Helps cancel out acoustic enhancement below fluid-filled structures like bladders or cysts.

Frame rate: 30 fps.

• Ensures smooth imaging without lag, especially important for fast-moving subjects like the heart or foetuses.

Imaging modes: B, 2B, 4B, B/M, M-mode.

• M-mode is popular for echocardiography in veterinary medicine and foetal heart assessment in human medicine.

8 pseudo colour options:

• Enhances detail visibility, useful in early pregnancy detection and basic heart scanning.

256 frame Cine loop:

• Roller ball allows scrolling through frozen image clips.

Image storage:

• 4GB hard disk (stores approximately 5,000 images).

Needle guide function:

• Adjustable on-screen guide lines, ideal for biopsies.

Measurement package:

• Includes distance, area, volume, and perimeter.

Calculation packages:

• Basic cardiac (for screening only), gynaecology, obstetrics (gestational age, amniotic fluid, crown-rump length), urology (residual urine volume, prostate volume).

Standard configuration:

• KX5600 Ultrasound Unit.
• 7.5 MHz Linear Transducer.
• Two probe sockets.
• Power adaptor.

Optional extras:

• Li battery (note: not included as standard).
• Footswitch.

Language options:

• English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Russian.

Note: A battery is generally not necessary, as most premises have a power supply.
