The GE Voluson S10 is a high-end and full-featured ultrasound system designed for general radiography use and specialized for OB/GYN with particular features for realtime 3D/4D acquisition. The GE Voluson S10 is developed based on Voluson S series platform; however, it has migrated design and technologies from Voluson E series. Due to the new release, the GE Voluson S10 does not support various transducers like GE VOLUSON E10. In terms of features, the GE Voluson S10 has been integrated similar options, especially for 3D/4D applications and user inferface — 23″ LCD monitor, GE Voluson family looking control panel, and 10.1″ colorful touchscreen. The body design of Voluson S10 is similar to Voluson S series. Transducers are connected by a micro-connector like Voluson S series. The GE Voluson S10 is also designed to cover Fetal/OB, abdominal, pediatric, small organ, neonatal and adult cephalic, adult and pediatric cardiac, peripheral vascular, MSK, superficial, transrectral, and transvaginal.

GE Voluson S10 Review:

The GE Voluson S10 has been built based on the Voluson S series H/W architecture, but Voluson E series’ technologies have been integrated into Voluson S10. The color scheme, control panel design, 3D/4D features, and its automated functions are similar to GE’s OB/GYN flagship series, Voluson E10, Voluson E8, and Voluson E6.The price point and feature sets of GE Voluson S10 are similar to Voluson E6, especially the price point. Although it is the early version of Voluson S10, reliability of Voluson S10 should not be an issue because the platform, clinical application, technologies have been proven through Voluson E series and Voluson S series. Large 23″ LCD monitor and 10.1″ LCD touchscreen will improve a user’s comfort. Even a novice user can improve his or her scanning pattern through several automation tools such as SonRederlive, SonoVCAD heart, SonoBiometry, SonoNT, and SonoAVC. Once again, its price point is a matter.
