 ACUSON X700 Ultrasound System

Sometimes, the most valuable ultrasound feature

is the one you can’t see. With the ACUSON X700™
ultrasound system, we’ve engineered a system
that offers one of the most critical innovations of
all: confidence, in both your diagnoses and your
investment. With the ACUSON X700 system, we
had the luxury of choosing features from some of
the most proven, sophisticated imaging systems on
the market, and packaging them in a purpose-built
platform. We’ve designed the ACUSON X700 system
with built-in features that permit upgrades on your
timetable. This means you have the flexible system
you need today, and the freedom to grow to meet
the demands of tomorrow.
