Hitachi HI VISION 5500 Ultrasound System

The HI VISION™ 5500 Fully Digital Ultrasound system delivers the latest generation of signal processing technology, sophisticated transducer design, and a host of features and options for advanced imaging capabilities across a wide range of clinical situations.

The 5500's electronic architecture incorporates advanced circuit designs optimized for efficiency and function. We call it HI VUE – an engineering philosophy that directs the development of each subsystem to individual specifications while, at the same time, providing seamless integration within the entire system. The end result is extraordinary performance in image quality and system operation.

Every aspect of the 5500's operation was engineered to make it a better clinical partner in real-life, real work situations. Hitachi's dynamically backlit control panel uses three-stage illumination to give visual feedback on system operation. Keyboard lighting shows each function as available, unavailable, or in use. In addition, programmable one-touch keys increase system efficiency by providing individual controls for frequently used image acquisition, processing, storage, and retrieval functions.
