VMODE ultrasound is easy to use and comfortable for the patient. When you press the scan button, within seconds, the VMODE technology measures ultrasonic reflections on multiple planes inside the body and produces a 3-dimensional image. Based on this image, the AortaScan device calculates and displays the abdominal aortic diameter. Four quick measurements comprise the exam.
