The Vantage™ NXT is the successor to Verasonics’ pioneering and industry-leading Vantage Research Ultrasound System. Continuing Verasonics’ mission to provide state-of-the-art research platforms, the Vantage NXT builds upon the versatility of Vantage with enhanced performance and additional features.

The transceiver is the heart of an ultrasound acquisition device, but not all transceivers are created equal. Verasonics’ proprietary NXT transceiver was specifically engineered to provide the next level of transmit and receive fidelity required for cutting-edge ultrasound research.

Vantage NXT offers:

  • Leading-edge transmit and receive fidelity
  • Improved high frequency performance and imaging
  • Enhanced arbitrary waveform generation
  • Expanded frequency bandwidth
  • Interactive help system
  • Additional I/O capabilities

Vantage NXT Research Ultrasound Systems are available in the same configurations as Vantage systems and maintain upgradability across channel counts. Vantage NXT preserves the Vantage programming model and is compatible with Vantage scripts, UTA adapters, and transducers.

Verasonics, Inc. is dedicated to assisting scientific investigators and innovators advance research and development in all applications of ultrasound. With unparalleled quality, versatility and efficiency, the Verasonics’ Vantage™ system is the leading enabler of research ultrasound. Vantage systems utilize state-of-the-art hardware and software technologies giving researchers access to raw ultrasound data from each channel in real time, while preserving the ability to perform high quality real-time imaging at clinically useful frame rates. Whether it is integration of a custom transducer array, development of novel beamforming techniques, or creation of new image processing algorithms, Vantage is the ideal solution to meet and exceed research and development requirements.

Founded in 2001, Verasonics is comprised of a team of scientists, engineers and technical staff who are ultrasonic experts. Verasonics strives to deliver the most advanced and flexible tools, enabling customers to raise the bar on ultrasonic techniques in biomedical ultrasound, materials science, earth sciences, physics of acoustics , and more.

How Would You Use Vantage?

Verasonics’ Vantage ultrasound systems are used today at numerous institutions and companies worldwide for FUS research and product development.  The Vantage HIFU technology enables both energy delivery and imag­ing using the same transmitters, for flexible and comprehensive exploration in ultrasound-guided HIFU.  The new HIFUPlex Portfolio provides premium quality focused ultrasound research solutions across a wide range of applications and budgets.

With the Vantage system, materials science researchers have a programmable platform with phased array technology to enabling ultrasonic innovation across many applications. The ability to program each channel independently over a wide frequency range, and access the raw acoustic data, enables advanced NDE algorithm development.
The wide range of Verasonics products facilitates new ultrasound product development in many applications, from proof of concept through clinical trials and final optimization. Vantage system are also used for development and quality control testing of novel transducer designs. Verasonics offers technology licenses to companies that enable design and manufacture of new products based on our industry-leading technology. By working with the Verasonics team, commercial licensees can achieve substantial savings in development costs, and significantly improve time to market.
The flexibility and high-performance imaging capabilities of Vantage high frequency ultrasound systems and transducers provide an ideal platform for scientists conducting pre-clinical research for new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and products.
Vantage systems can be programmed to generate ARFI pulses for research in elastography, as well as for research in therapeutic techniques that require moderate energy delivery. The system’s capability of extremely high frame rate enables detection of shear waves, and the innovative Pixel-Oriented Processing technology provides reconstruction of shear wave information over a large field of view.
For research that requires interrogation of a volume of tissue, Vantage systems can operate matrix array transducers to provide a highly programmable and flexible solution, employing from 256 up to 2048 independently-controlled channels, and providing access to the RF data from each channel.
