Newly launched, the Logiq E9’s platform – complemented by a new generation of matrix array high frequency linear probes – is said to deliver a new level of image quality using sophisticated tools for earlier diagnoses and opens the door for imaging innovations to come.

“A revolutionary new ‘intelligent’ beamformer is combined with enhanced computing power for reduced artefact with automatic correction for the changes in speed of ultrasound through different tissues,” states MDI.
