This ultrasound machine packs a whole lot of technology into a small, portable container. Don't be fooled by the small size of the Sonoscape SSI-1000--it has all of the latest, up-to-date imaging techniques and diagnostic requirements that all of the larger, more expensive ultrasound models do. The Sonoscape SSI-1000 starts with an amazing monitor screen--it is 15", and it is a high-resolution LCD screen. Also, it is not a monochrome display.
