What challenge does the LOGIQ C5 address and what solution does it create?
Clinicians want to provide the highest quality of healthcare to their patients. In
many countries, clinicians need low-cost medical devices that help provide simple
solutions for diagnoses and procedures. The LOGIQ C5 is an ultrasound system
designed to help provide advanced capabilities at a lower cost. One feature, color
Doppler, indicates the presence or absence of blood flow, as well as its direction
and estimated velocity. In rural China, for example, many physicians find it difficult
to detect abdominal disease with a lower-cost black-and-white ultrasound
scanner. Now, with the affordable LOGIQ C5 with color Doppler, physicians may
be able to detect blood flow and diagnose disease earlier. Similarly, in rural parts
of India, many OB/GYN specialists could use color Doppler in their preliminary
assessment of high-risk pregnancies. Color Doppler can help them image the
umbilical cord and placenta, to help assess the health of mother and fetus.
The LOGIQ C5 is tailored for physicians who need advanced features for specific
exams, instead of the complete set of features a specialist would need. The system
also is designed to be affordable and user friendly. Having this technology helps
give physicians increased diagnostic confidence and improve patient care.
