Toshiba Aplio 300 Platinum Ultrasound Machine – Refurbished

Review

Toshiba Aplio 300 Platinum Review:

The Toshiba Aplio Platinum series share the system architecture; therefore, functions in a manner similar to and are intended for the same use. The systems are overall heavier and larger than newer GE and Philips products; however, the Toshiba Aplio Platinum series became stable and reliable due to the last 4 to 5 consecutive upgrades since its initial launch in 2012.

The Toshiba Aplio 300 Platinum lowers the price by removing its standard option, but still uses the same system architecture like the Aplio 500 Platinum and the Aplio 400 Platinum, which a user can enjoy a great fundamental image quality of those two higher grade systems. The Toshiba Aplio 300 is positioned as a high-end grade system, and holds a very good reputation in Radiology with a wide selection of intraoperative transducers, superb fundamental image quality, and outstanding and dedicated premium radiology options such as Smart Fusion, Shear Wave, and Contrast Harmonic Imaging (CHI).

The Toshiba Aplio Platinum series provide a number of clinical tools that provide wider clinical utilities and save scanning time by providing better visualization in a short time. The Superb Micro Vascular Imaging (SMI) is one that increases physician’s clinical productivity and diagnostic efficiency with better visualization of low-velocity blood flow. The MicroPure function is the function that increases comfort and confidence of diagnosis by better visualizing small structures such as a small calcification in breast. The Toshiba Aplio Platinum series support unique linear (PLT-308P) and convex (PVT-350BTP) transducers that much improve the needle biopsy procedure by offering the method that a needle can be inserted and visualized in the middle of transducer, not from the edge of a transducer.

The Toshiba products in general look like a technology oriented product, rather than a clinical oriented product. With this series, Toshiba has achieved fully digital beamforming technology, which is fully integrated into the Aplio Platinum series. The weight of each Platinum series is still high, above 320 lbs. The monitor size is 17-inches, but upgradable to 19-inches. Although the Toshiba Aplio Platinum holds good quality and reputation in Radiology, they still need to be improved in cardiology and OB/GYN’s workflow, automation, and 4D quality, comparing GE or Samsung products to satisfy customers.
