Chison Soundbook 8

The SonoBook 8 is a high-performance portable ultrasound system weighing less than 12 pounds (including battery). It combines exceptional mobility with a robust alloy housing and offers advanced diagnostic functionality across a wide range of clinical applications – from cardiology to emergency care.


Advanced Imaging – For Precise Diagnostics On the Go
The system uses modern technologies to optimize image quality:

  • Q-beam, Q-flow, Q-image – Enhanced signal processing, flow visualization, and image sharpness.
  • FHI (Frequency Harmonic Imaging) – Greater resolution with deep penetration capabilities.
  • X-contrast – Improves contrast for better tissue differentiation.
  • Real-time curved panoramic imaging – Ideal for large anatomical structures.

Supported Doppler Modes:

  • Pulsed Wave (PW)
  • Continuous Wave (CW)
  • Color Doppler
  • Power Doppler
  • Directional Power Doppler Imaging (DPDI)

Automated Workflow Features

  • AIO (Automatic Image Optimization) – One-touch image enhancement for B-mode and Doppler.
  • Auto Measurement: Auto IMT, Auto NT, Auto-trace for PW, follicle detection, and breast lesions.
  • User-defined workflow – Customizable exam presets and processes.
  • Button-probe control – Control key functions directly from the probe (freeze, zoom, measurement).

Portable Design & System Performance

  • Weight: under 12 lbs (approx. 5.5 kg)
  • Battery life: up to 2 hours active, up to 1 week standby
  • Fast boot: startup in ~1 minute, shutdown in under 12 seconds
  • Auto ambient adjustment for indoor and outdoor use
  • Durable housing for demanding clinical environments

Connectivity & Storage

  • 3 active probe ports
  • USB 3.0, DVI-I, S-Video, Video-Out, footswitch interface
