1...Obtain the best image possible. 
Take the time to completely evacuate the rectum, and use plenty of lube for contact. If your ultrasound system provides variable frequency transducers, remember to operate at the highest frequency that still allows you enough depth to visualize all the pertinent structures; this will optimize the resolution of your image! You’ll acquire a higher quality (and larger!) ovary image scanning at 6cm than you will at 12cm. In addition, become familiar with your equipment; experiment with gain, contrast, and persistence in order to achieve the image that you desire.

Saving video clips on your EVO is super simple! And did you know that from your stored loops you can freeze, measure, annotate, and store still frames? This means if you’re in a rush or have an uncooperative patient, you can easily do your analysis at a later time. Be sure to check out all the EVO Shorts videos on our YouTube channels - E.I. Medical Imaging and E.I. Medical Imaging University!

The first in our series on storing images on the EVO...a quick tip on saving a still frame image to your EVO ultrasound. Stored images can later be recalled, renamed, measured, annotated, and exported. They can be stored and exported as either standard JPEGs or DICOM files.

First of all, thanks for a great 2020! In spite of everything, we've had a great year.

I’ve been thinking a bit lately about a conversation I have frequently with my colleagues. It’s one that questions the need for and the appropriateness of ultrasound use in a general companion animal practice. I repeatedly hear veterinarians bemoaning the time required to learn to perform ultrasound, the expense of implementing it, and the potential liability in interpreting it. They often tell me that they have a “wonderful traveling radiologist/internist” who comes in at a regular interval to conduct ultrasound exams on their accumulated cases.

Shoot a video testimonial on your phone, GoPro or whatever, telling us how you use your IBEX equipment! Upload it here [up to 100MB]—we'll send a hat and t-shirt to the first 20.

E.I. Medical Imaging's C9OPU-HD transducer is not your average TVA setup—we were the first to introduce a one-piece probe that’s lighter, slimmer, and easier to clean than the old screw-on clamshell handles.

Are you still sitting on the fence, trying to decide whether to invest in an IBEX^® portable ultrasound? Fertility Management is about timing and decision making. Proper management techniques can ultimately save a farm or dairy operation money. Can you make decisions with inaccurate information or untimely information?

Many fertility managers use blood testing for for their management of their herd. We can provide a better alternative to blood testing your animals. If you do any fertility management work on farms, you should think about the following three reasons ultrasounds are superior to blood tests.
