1. Advanced Imaging Technology – The foundation of Voluson S18 quality
Voluson S18 is equipped with many of GE's modern imaging technologies:
1.1 Sharp and stable 2D imaging
-
High resolution
-
Clear boundaries
-
Excellent tissue differentiation
Assisting clinicians in pregnancy, uterine, ovarian, and soft tissue surveys.
1.2 HDlive™ – Realistic 4D image reconstruction
Voluson's signature technology helps reproduce natural light and shadows, delivering vivid images of the fetus and anatomical structures.
1.3 Speckle Reduction Imaging (SRI)
Reduces speckle noise while preserving tissue detail, resulting in clean and easy-to-observe images.
1.4 CrossXBeam™
Enhances contrast and sharpness by synthesizing multiple scan angles.
1.5 Powerful Doppler
Includes Color Doppler, Power Doppler, and Spectral Doppler — supporting the evaluation of fetal heart, placental flow, and gynecological perfusion.
Thanks to these technologies, Voluson S18 provides stable, clear imaging suitable for a wide range of clinical cases.
2. Clinical Applications – Optimized for OB/GYN, Fetal Heart, and IVF
2.1 Early Pregnancy & Routine Fetal Ultrasound
Voluson S18 effectively supports:
-
Observing the embryo from week 6
-
NT measurement – serving first-trimester screening
-
Fetal morphology assessment
-
4D observation of the face, limbs, and organs
-
Monitoring pregnancy development
With smooth 4D imaging, clinicians can easily identify abnormal signs at a very early stage.
2.2 Fetal Heart – A reliable assessment tool
Although not as specialized as the E-Series, Voluson S18 remains a powerful choice for fetal heart surveys thanks to:
-
Sensitive Doppler displaying clear blood flow
-
Standard 4-chamber and 3-vessel views
-
Assessment of heart chambers, valves, and perfusion
-
Real-time observation of fetal heart activity
This helps clinics diagnose common congenital heart defects early.
2.3 Gynecology – Sharp visualization of the uterus & ovaries
Voluson S18 provides detailed observation capabilities for:
-
Endometrium
-
Ovaries & follicles
-
Fibroids, polyps, and ovarian tumors
-
Uterine malformations (septum, bicornuate...)
-
Intra-tumor flow using Doppler
VCI and HDlive technologies ensure clear, deep 3D/4D gynecological images, supporting accurate diagnosis.
2.4 IVF Treatment Support – An effective solution for infertility clinics
Voluson S18 supports:
-
Antral Follicle Count (AFC) measurement
-
Monitoring follicles during stimulation cycles
-
Endometrial assessment
-
Assisting in interventional procedures
With high sensitivity and clear soft tissue visualization, the S18 is perfectly suited for IVF survey requirements.
