Ethiroli Tiny 16a

 

Ethiroli is a breakthorugh concept in ultrasound technology.
It is a versatile, colour Doppler ultrasound scanner that can be convertibly used both as a trolley as well as a hand held scanner.
The corner stone to eralisation of this invention is the integration of the entire
electronics of a doppler scanner in a compact notebook sized box - the scanner pack - just 30mm thick.

 

Indegenous Innovation

Ethiroli was designed and developed indigenously at
our development center at Coimbatore using state of
the art tools and design techniques. It was designed
ground up keeping product reliability in mind.

Probes

2-5 MHz 64 element 60degree FOV convex array for abdomen and general scanning

5-10 MHz High frequency linear transducer for vascular

5-9 MHz TV transducer

Report Page

Report pages are instrument generated and include measurements and images.

This increases throughput and reduces clerical errors associated with manual reporting methods.

A machine generated report in PDF format can be found here.

Screen Shots

Ethiroli sports multi document interface. Thus each organ can be scanned in a seperate window and reviewed together. The user interface is very intutive and helps to boots productivity.
