The Consona N9 is a versatile diagnostic system with a comprehensive built-in measurement package for vascular imaging.
Key Features
- Built-in ABI: Ankle-brachial index calculation. Valuable for screening PAD in vein patients before compression therapy.
- IMT: Automated intima-media thickness measurement.
- D Trace: Auto-traces spectral Doppler envelope for PSV, EDV, RI, PI.
- Elastography: Strain and shear wave for tissue characterization.
- Structured vascular reporting: Built-in templates for standard reporting formats.
Probes for Vein Work
- L13-3N: 3-13 MHz. Primary vein scanning probe.
- L9-3: 2.5-9 MHz. Deeper vascular and larger patients.
- SC5-1N: 1.2-6 MHz single-crystal convex. Deep vascular.
ABI: A Built-In Differentiator
The Consona N9 built-in ABI calculation is valuable for vein practices that also screen for PAD. ABI screening before compression therapy is a clinical best practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decide between the Consona N9 and the MX7?
Both are excellent systems. The N9 has a more comprehensive built-in measurement package including ABI and IMT. The MX7 shines in portability. We are happy to help you find the best fit.
Does the Consona N9 include V Flow imaging?
V Flow is exclusive to the Resona platform. The N9 uses conventional color and spectral Doppler, fully adequate for standard vein practice exams.
Can the Consona N9 be used for both arterial and venous exams?
Yes. The vascular measurement package includes tools for both.
