BT10M5S8C (10 MHz)
* ABI studies
* PEAK & MEAN blood velocity determinations.
* Peripheral vascular procedures.
* Blood pressure segmental studies.
* Venous compressions.
* Penile & digit systolic pressures.
* Flow velocities in recovery room.
1-3. Probe selection
The frequency of diagnostic ultrasound is inversely proportional to depth of penetration.
The Smartdop has 5 interchangeable probes with different frequencies. Use those probes
depending on your applications.
Note: One of these probes comes with Smartdop 45 as a standard accessory. Other probes are
available as optional accessories.
BT2M20S8C (2 MHz): Fetal heart rate and sounds
BT4M05S8C (4 MHz): Deep peripheral blood velocity and flow
BT5M05S8C (5 MHz): Deep peripheral blood velocity and flow
BT8M05S8C (8 MHz): Superficial blood velocity and flow
BT10M5S8C (10 MHz): Superficial blood velocity and flow
