The NXT level in Research Ultrasound
Vantage NXT offers a complete next-generation technology update, including an advanced, proprietary transceiver designed to meet and surpass the needs of current and future cutting-edge ultrasound research applications.
The NXT Level in Research Ultrasound Technology Offers:
- Proprietary NXT transceiver design – Engineered to provide the next level of transmit and receive fidelity required for advanced ultrasound research.
- Expanded high-frequency imaging – With an operating bandwidth up to 60 MHz, high dynamic range, and superior resolution, it provides improved performance in applications such as pre-clinical imaging, ultrasound localization microscopy, photoacoustics, and more.
- Arbitrary waveform generation – Outstanding transmit fidelity and encoding algorithms provide more accurate analog acoustic waveform design, defined by a user-friendly graphical interface and command line functions.
- Ultra-high frame rate imaging – Enabled through data acquisition into local memory limited only by acoustic travel times, 4x increased channel memory, and fast data transfer, ideal for advanced applications from Shear Wave elastography to super-resolution imaging.
- High power transmit – For a variety of focused ultrasound applications over a bandwidth from 250kHz to 8MHz.
- Volumetric and tomographic imaging – Phase-accurate synchronization of up to 8 Vantage NXT systems for 2048-channel data acquisition. Software support for single or multi-system configurations to acquire volumetric data at high frame rates.
- Expansive I/O capabilities – With independently programmable triggers, quadrature encoder inputs, and low-frequency analog inputs enabling co-registration of ultrasound and position or physiological data.
- FastSave: High-Speed RF Data Streaming to SSD Storage – Ideal for high-throughput experiments. It is a powerful tool enabling continuous RF data streaming directly to SSD storage at speeds up to 6.6 GB/s. To learn more visit Verasonics Community Portal
- Interactive help system – Provides quick reference to over 400 structure names, attributes, and keywords to facilitate script development and reduce runtime errors. Integrated into MATLAB® Document Editor, it also provides easy access to Structure Visualization and Utility Tools.
- Built-in simulation software – Enables simulation of experiments without connection to acquisition hardware and facilitates testing and debugging of scripts. Five simulator licenses are included with each system purchase.
- In addition, Vantage NXT maintains the transducer flexibility pioneered by Vantage through the use of Universal Transducer Adapters (UTAs). Most Vantage UTAs are compatible with Vantage NXT.
Vantage NXT builds upon the versatility and flexibility sought after by Vantage users, while introducing leading-edge performance and features, making Vantage NXT the most advanced and capable research system on the market.
At the core of our ground-breaking technology is a patented transceiver, delivering enhancements to transmit and receive signal fidelity. This technology enables the NXT platform to deliver optimal performance over a diverse range of applications, from high-power transmit for ablative HIFU to the highly precise and linear transmit required for arbitrary waveform generation and signal coding.
