Verasonics’ Vantage System is a revolutionary ultrasound system designed for ultrasound researchers and developers. Our focus is to provide researchers with the most advanced and flexible tools to create new algorithms and products used in diagnostic, interventional, and therapeutic medical ultrasound. The real-time, software-based, programmable ultrasound systems speed up research by providing unparalleled speed and control to simplify data collection and analysis. This architecture also allows for the simple implementation of newly developed imaging approaches that are not possible on current commercial systems. Non-medical applications of our plans include biometrics, non-destructive testing, and earth sciences.
