Top 3 GE Ultrasound Machines for Veterinary

GE has been a global ultrasound manufacturer for nearly 30 years, producing some of the market’s most advanced veterinary ultrasound technologies.

While every machine in GE’s collection is worth mentioning, this guide highlights three of their best veterinary models – the Logiq e Vet, the Logiq e Vet Bovine Equine, and the Logiq V2.

GE Logiq e Vet

Key Features:

• TruScan
• Power Doppler Imaging (PDI)
• Split Screen
• Automatic Image Optimization (AIO)
• Cost range: $8,500-$12,750

The GE Logiq e Vet is a mid-range portable ultrasound machine. It is tailored to image both small and large animals and supports veterinary applications for:

• Cardiac
• Abdominal
• Vascular
• General Veterinary

The Logiq e Vet delivers premium image quality using GE’s unique TruScan technology. TruScan allows veterinarians to store raw image data and manipulate images for improved post-scan analysis and greater diagnostic confidence. Users can also improve image quality at the touch of a button using the Logiq e Vet’s Automatic Image Optimization (AIO) tool.

Additional advanced features in the Logiq e Vet include Power Doppler Imaging (PDI), allowing veterinarians to evaluate the vascular systems of their animal patients with greater precision. The device’s split-screen display feature further enhances diagnostic power by allowing clinicians to compare real-time scans to images captured during previous visits.

Overall, the Logiq e Vet is an affordable option for veterinary practices requiring an ultrasound machine with excellent portability and a solid set of advanced imaging features.

Logiq e Vet Bovine Equine

Key Features:

• 30 cm scan depth
• Equine, swine, and bovine-specific software
• HD zoom
• CrossXBeam Technology
• Cost range: $14,500-$21,750

The Logiq e Vet Bovine Equine is a mid-range portable ultrasound machine designed for imaging large animals, especially swine, cattle, and horses. It shares many similarities to the Logiq e Vet while providing greater scanning depth (up to 30 cm) ideal for cardiac and reproductive exams on large animals.

Similar to the Logiq e Vet, the Logiq e Vet Bovine Equine has shared service functionality and supports veterinary applications for:

• Cardiac
• Abdominal
• Vascular
• General Veterinary

A key feature of the Logiq e Vet is GE’s proprietary CrossXBeam software. This advanced technology is also known as spatial compound imaging and allows clinicians to capture images from multiple lines of sight at different angles for improved border detection. The resulting contrast resolution of the CrossXBeam image can enhance the visualization of cystic boundaries, calcifications, biopsy needles, and the conspicuity of low contrast lesions.

The Logiq e Vet Bovine Equine is also capable of High-Definition Zoom, allowing veterinarians to zoom in on specific areas of interest while maintaining image resolution and clarity.

GE Logiq V2

Key Features:

• Auto Image Optimization (AIO)
• Compound Imaging
• Tissue Harmonic Imaging
• Two probe ports
• 30 cm scan depth
• Cost range: $16,000-$24,000

The Logiq V2 is a high-end portable ultrasound machine with shared service capabilities. It supports veterinary applications for:

• Cardiac
• OB/GYN
• Vascular
• Urology
• General Veterinary

As a high-end veterinary ultrasound, the Logiq V2 is fully loaded with advanced imaging features, including multiple Doppler imaging modes. Its set of advanced Doppler modes includes:

• Color Doppler
• Directional Color Power Doppler
• Continuous-Wave (CW) Doppler
• Pulsed-Wave (PW) Doppler
• Power Doppler

The Logiq V2 shares many of the same features as the Logiq e Vet machines highlighted above, including Automatic Image Optimization, CrossXBeam compound imaging, and a 30 cm scan depth. However, the Logiq V2 ups the ante by providing two probe ports, allowing clinicians to switch between transducers during exams seamlessly.

Additional advanced features in the Logiq V2 include Tissue Harmonic Imaging – a technique that improves image clarity by enhancing edge detection, so patient anatomy is clearly defined.
