I used a Sonoscape V6 for many years and was ultimately frustrated at the frame rate for doppler in cardiac scanning. Also the manual had been directly (mis) translated from chinese and the support was rubbish.[/quote] <p>It depends what model you have as well, I find our old version of S9 to be very good for heart scans, manuals are in perfect english and very detailed.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for the reviews Camilla, maybe if you have time you can do a comparison/recommendation for specific needs. I remember when I was looking for one a years back, most of their specs were beyond my understading and I wished I could find a straight forward recommendation.&nbsp;</p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/225667?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 Sep 2020 20:11:34 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ecf6092d-5eb3-43d2-9c3b-832882b43fffEmily Rainbow<p>Love these reviews - thank you for the honesty and genuine application to first opinion practice. I am praying and dreaming for a new machine next year and this will be my first port of call if my CD will ask for one!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/225662?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 29 Sep 2020 18:02:29 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3ac94df3-a312-45ff-ab57-c8efbdcd29f2Sarah Keir<p>I&#39;m glad to see that Sonoscope have improved their offerings.
