Providian Medical’s Expert Comment
If you’re looking for a 4D portable ultrasound, the Voluson i is the best place to start. There’s a good reason for that: It’s the best portable 4D ultrasound machine on the market. Even with the new competition on the market, the GE Voluson i continues to have the best frame rates and image quality… even the early versions of the Voluson i are still excellent 4D imaging machines. That being said, there are some up-and-coming 4D portable ultrasound machines that won’t break your pocketbook like the Voluson i. The Voluson i has held its value very well over the years due to its demand and known quality. If this doesn’t make your budget, our sales staff can give you recommendations that will fit your budget.
The Voluson i also can connect an external DVD writer and has VGA video output for an external monitor or connecting to a DVD-Recorder.

Step 1: Getting Started
In this complete GE Voluson i training series, you’ll learn all you need to know about using the GE Voluson i, 4D ultrasound basics, and more advanced 4D ultrasound technique training.
This training also translates to the GE Voluson e, and the 4D training can also translate to using the GE Voluson 730 Pro, Voluson 730 Expert and GE Voluson e8, Voluson e10, Voluson e6, Voluson P8, Voluson S6, and Voluson S8 4D ultrasound machines.
You’ll need to be familiar with those machines first, but the Voluson 4D ultrasound training basics and Voluson 4D training translates to similar features on those machines.
This is one among many of our videos in our free Ultrasound Machine Hands-On Training Library. Looking to buy a GE Ultrasound Machine? Call one of our sales experts today at (877) 661-8224.
Step 2: 2D Imaging/Optimization
Part 2 of our free training series covers the basics of 2D imaging and how to use its imaging parameters to optimize your 2D images.
This is an important part of the series even if you’re only looking to do 4D ultrasound training. The training here provides a good understanding of 2D imaging and how the machine works to achieve better image quality.
Step 3: Doppler/M-Mode
Using Doppler and M-Modes with the is relatively straightforward to those who are familiar with GE ultrasound machines.
For those looking to perform 4D imaging, both PW Doppler and M-Mode allow you to acquire a fetal heartrate. PW Doppler allows you to listen to the fetal heart as well. This chapter in our training discusses how to use these modes as well as color Doppler.
Step 4: Measurements/Reports
The GE Voluson i contains a complete measurement package for OB/GYN, Vascular and a number of other applications. This chapter of the free Voluson i ultrasound training will teach you how to take measurements, create, edit, and view reports.
The reports on the Voluson i can be quite extensive, as it has pre-programmed biometry and fetal information to include on your reports.
Step 5: Exporting/SonoView
Reviewing and Exporting images from isn’t the most straightforward process. Using the SonoView II software interface on the GE Voluson portable or console machines, you’ll learn how to review images and export them to various devices, including USB Flash Drive.
Step 6: System Setup/DICOM
Customizing is one of the more common procedures for all Voluson users. Saving presets, creating custom annotations, and general system customization are important time-savers for many users of the GE Voluson.
Step 7: 4D Basics
Although this is part of the GE Voluson i training series, the concepts here apply to all 4D ultrasound machines. This free training video discusses the differences between 2D and 4D imaging.
These concepts are difficult for new and old ultrasound technicians alike. In fact, in many training situations, I’ve found experienced sonographers often have more difficulty understanding 4D. This requires them to think of how an ultrasound “sees” differently. Hopefully the concepts here can help you get started in 4D baby imaging.
Step 8: 4D with Voluson Ultrasounds
This final installment of our training introduces basic and advanced 4D imaging on the Voluson. Be sure to view Part 7 of this series if you are not familiar or need help understanding 4D ultrasound imaging.
This 4D training can also translate to using the GE Voluson 730 Pro, Voluson 730 Expert and GE Voluson e8, Voluson e10, Voluson e6, Voluson P8, Voluson S6, and Voluson S8 4D ultrasound machines. You’ll need to be familiar with those machines first, but the Voluson 4D ultrasound training basics and Voluson 4D training translates to similar features on those machines.
