Catalyst Ultrasound Systems
High Resolution 2D/3D Pelvic Floor Imaging
Why Choose the Catalyst Ultrasound
Halo Medical’s Catalyst Ultrasound Systems offer 2D and 3D high-resolution multi-compartment (Endoanal, Transrectal, Endovaginal, and Transperineal) imaging for physicians treating pelvic floor disorders.
Halo’s innovative ultrasound software quickly guides clinicians through options at each stage, making comprehensive ultrasound exams simple. You can easily customize the system for your practice by choosing from probes in 2D/3D or 2D only. The unique software and intuitive interface were designed by pelvic floor specialists for pelvic floor specialists.
Halo’s ultrasound machines can record and replay videos while capturing high-quality still images allowing for the complete capture of a patient’s anatomy while providing flexibility in the exam sequence. Being able to capture, save, and replay 60-second video files transforms how ultrasound exams are performed and reviewed.
Ultrasound service providers benefit from being able to replay videos post-exam and complete interpretation at their convenience. The software also provides an excellent teaching tool for residency and fellowship programs.
EMR Ready Reports mean no thermal prints! All data, images, measurements, and interpretation are auto-populated onto an exportable, HIPPA-compliant, EMR ready. Export options include a file repository feature or a direct HL7 Interface.
