vascular Imaging (SMI) expands the range of visible
blood flow to a level of detail never before seen with
diagnostic ultrasound. Exclusive iSMI now also allows
you to image larger regions of interest without a
reduction in frame rate.

Conventional SMI

Traditional color Doppler imaging (left) removes clutter from the images by suppressing low-
velocity components, resulting in a loss of flow visualization in tiny vessels. SMI (right) separates
flow from overlaying tissue motion effectively, while preserving low-flow components with superb
detail and definition.
