Choose your platform
Three platforms for RF-based research, plus portable systems for synchronised imaging studies.
Beamformed RF dataArtUs EXT-1H / EXT-2H
A complete color Doppler system that also streams real-time beamformed RF data to your software.
- Real-time RF data with the RF module
- New: RF data in color flow and PW Doppler modes
- Parallel beamforming, one or two transducer ports
- Strain elastography and I/O synchronisation as options
- Free tools for C++, MATLAB, Python and LabVIEW
Channel RF dataArtUs USS-2H
The research system for the deepest level of access — from individual receive channels to fully programmable transmission — at a fraction of the cost of large research platforms.
- Raw RF data from up to 64 receive channels
- Five data access points along the processing chain
- Programmable delays, apertures and 3-level pulses with PWM
- I/O synchronisation as standard
Coming soon · CE/FDA pendingCompact researchArtUs Compact
The ArtUs imaging engine in a fanless, USB-C enclosure — for research outside the lab.
- Color Doppler on a single USB-C cable
- RF data access and strain elastography as options
- I/O synchronisation as an option

Options and tools for research
Beamformed RF data
Real-time RF lines from ArtUs, recorded to disk or processed live — the basis for tissue characterisation and new biomarkers. Now also for color flow and spectral Doppler.
