Overview
GE’s specification sheet describes a cart console with a 21.5-inch monitor that tilts, rotates and pans, and folds down for transportation. It takes up to three active probes, has 256 GB of internal storage and boots in under 25 seconds. An optional lithium-ion battery gives about 15 minutes of use when fully charged.
GE lists nine probes, among them the 4C-RS convex, the L6-12-RS and LK760-RS linear probes, the 3Sc-RS and 6S-RS phased array sector probes and the RAB2-6-RS volume probe, and notes that availability may differ by region. Whizz, CrossXBeam, SRI-HD and Scan Assistant are standard; Scan Coach, SonoBiometry, B-Flow, elastography and 4D imaging are options.

- Whizz
- Continuously optimises the brightness, contrast and uniformity of B-mode images across different tissues, and GE calls it a push-button automatic optimisation as you scan.
- Whizz CF mode
- Dynamically optimises colour flow parameters in real time, while in PW and CW Doppler Whizz optimises the spectral data.
- CrossXBeam
- Standard spatial compounding, with 3, 5, 7 or 9 as the compounding settings on GE’s sheet.

- Standard High Definition Speckle Reduction Imaging, with multiple levels of speckle reduction for linear, convex and sector transducers.
- Virtual Convex
- Provides a convex field of view on linear and sector transducers.

- Scan Coach
- An optional on-demand reference with scan-plane guidance and anatomy references for abdomen, obstetrics, gynaecology, cardiology and vascular exams.
- SonoBiometry
- An optional fetal biometry package covering BPD, HC, AC, HL and FL.
