Dear Robert G Schwartz

I am practicing MSK since 1996 and have tried many machines, all hitech machines with 6-14 M.Hz can be ideal for the job.

The machines I found good were GE-LOGIC9 AND LOGIC 7

TOSHIBA XERIO (USING NOW A DAYS AT MY MORNING CLINIC) MYLAB50 (USING AT MORNING CLINIC AT MY INSTITUTE).

i HEARD PHILIPS IS ALSO GOOD--- MEDISONE I DIDNT FIND very attractive for MSK whereas portable machine by MINDRAY CHINA NAMED M-11 is excellent and the price is also less.

most of my MSK images are from toshiba xerio.

Transducers and softwares like THI and panoramic view are very helpfull in MSK.

I recommend looking at the Mindray MSK M7. It can be configured for vascular studies as well as MSK US. There is a standard vascular measurement package included and you can add a IMT measurement package as an option.

If you have  a good machine..you will have good results in both MSK and Vascular studies.  The main factor is the experience of the person holding the probe.  I see so many MD's not utilizing all the equipment has to offer.  It is like riding a bike with 21 gears and only using 2 gears.
