https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/18741/ultrasound-machine-purchase I have been at BSAVA Congress and looked at lots of new ultrasound machines in the commercial exhibition. I would be keen to hear the experiences of any vets that have purchased a new machine in the last 12 months. I was particularly impressed with theen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/113005?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 19 Apr 2014 16:30:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:a6bc9418-dc0f-4333-8729-10e311e020e4David Mills<p>I&#39;ve used a fair few different ultrasound machines.</p> <p>The MyLabs are very good, are backed up by clinical experience, very good technical support and are the favoured machine of several of my teachers during my cert. However, the Doppler on them subjectively is not as good as on others. Having said that, if I was going to buy a machine I&#39;d go for a MyLab. No experience with the other one you mention.</p> <p>This may be a little grandmother and eggs situation, but In terms of image quality, by far the most important determinant is the operator, then the settings, then lastly the machine (above a certain level of quality of machine). I have worked at clinics where they have a brand spanking new &pound;20k machine which they hate due to perceived poor images, which simply requires the settings changing, and the operators to have some more training. I think that most erroneous diagnoses or non-diagnoses from machines (certainly personally) is the &#39;point and shoot&#39; expectation.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/112987?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 19 Apr 2014 10:37:53 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:63079810-1a8c-429e-b4be-b74f2a61396dMike Martin<p>The MyLab machines are good, and Imotec provide a good after sales service and support.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
