Visualsonics Vevo F2 ultra-high to low frequency ultrasound imaging system

Description du marché

This direct purchase is justified under Norwegian regulation Forskrift om offentlige anskaffelser (FOA) § 13-4 (1) c, as the Vevo F2’s patented technologies and exclusive capabilities are unparalleled, making it the only system meeting our research needs. Our established reliance on VisualSonics systems further supports this decision, ensuring continuity and leveraging existing expertise. The Vevo F2’s unique combination of ultra-high to low-frequency imaging (71-1 MHz), patented UHFx transducer technology, and integrated 3D motor for volumetric imaging is indispensable for UiT’s research. Its ability to achieve 30 μm resolution, high frame rates up to 10,000 frames/second in EKV mode, and advanced 3D/4D cardiac analysis with speckle tracking is unmatched, ensuring precise study of small animal models. These exclusive features, protected by multiple U.S. patents (e.g., U.S. 7,230,368; U.S. 9,907,538), and its seamless compatibility with our prior VisualSonics systems make it the only viable option, justifying a direct purchase to maintain research continuity and avoid delays.
