The Advantages of having a Vantage System in Your Research Lab

The Vantage platform from Verasonics is the only commercially available system with the flexibility to enable all types of ultrasound research.  This is increasingly important as research funding is declining in countries around the globe. There is great need for a superior tool that has the adaptability to support both current and future research of all types.  Verasonics products are preferred for their flexibility, ease of use, upgradability and the support that the company provides.

Vantage systems provide unparalleled performance

  • Provide complete control over all transmit parameters
  • Enable real-time RF acquisition for all channels while imaging
  • Provide the ability to modify the receive signal processing and image processing parameters
  • Present the RF data immediately available in computer memory
  • Make it easy to incorporate custom algorithms
  • Have optional per-channel arbitrary waveform transmit generation capability
  • Allow processing functions that execute on the Graphic Processing Unit (GPU)
  • Are fast enough to perform functional brain imaging and other high frame rate applications
    • Fastest data acquisition – up to 100,000 fps
    • Fastest data transfer – sustained 6.6 GB/sec
  • Use 14-Bit ADCs – the largest ADC dynamic range on research systems today
  • Are available with trigger inputs and output for synchronizing with other devices
  • Can acquire and process plane wave images
  • Are highly configurable – from 64 to 2048 channels (multiple system configuration)

Vantage systems enable expanding applications
