The quality of the images is quite outstanding, both in grayscale and colour.

The system is very easy to use with everything where you want it to be." Christine concluded: "The application specialists and engineers are also very good.
They are pleasant and friendly and there has been lots of follow up from them to check everything is okay.
I've attended a few Philips Ultrasound courses as well and have always found the staff to be extremely helpful.".
