 ACUSON X150 Ultrasound System

GENERAL INFORMATION
The ultra-compact ACUSON X150™ ultrasound
system offers unparalleled diagnostic confidence
and clinical performance. Maximum upgrade
flexibility and exceptional system reliability
safeguard your investment for years to come and
allow you to grow as clinical applications evolve
or patient needs change over time. Intelligent
features improve workflow, while our ergonomic
system design makes ultrasound exams easier,
faster and more comfortable than ever before.
The ACUSON X150 system was designed to
meet the everyday clinical requirements of
private practices as well as dynamic hospital
environments. From OB/GYN, early pregnancy 3-Scape™ real-time 3D imaging, productivity
