Imaging
In diagnostic imaging, the right equipment is key to getting the data and patient comfort. Sonography and Imaging collection of examination tables are designed to enhance patient positioning and facilitate quicker exam times. An imaging table designed for this purpose is critical to positioning patients. This way you can get the best angles for great images. Whether you’re using an advanced sonography table for ultrasound or a standard imaging table for various exams. Each is designed for your needs.
By combining versatility and patient safety, these tables allow you to get the details and make better patient outcomes and more informed decisions. Investing in a good sonography table is a key step to upping your diagnostic capabilities and delivering the best care.

Frequently asked questions
A: Imaging tables include specialised sections — drop-down cardiac panels, vascular tilt mechanisms, and probe access slots — that standard treatment tables lack. The Echo MB1's hinged cardiac section and the Tanzanite's 60-degree tilt are purpose-built for ultrasound workflows. Standard tables like the Treatment 680 use fixed sections designed for manual therapy, not the angular patient positioning and transducer access that imaging requires.
A: Motor noise during ultrasound scanning can interfere with Doppler audio signals and the concentration required for real-time image interpretation. Alevo's Pro-Lift German actuators operate at low decibel levels, and most height adjustment is completed before imaging begins. The 37mm/sec travel speed means repositioning takes only a few seconds, minimising any noise exposure during the diagnostic portion of the examination.
A: Yes, all PVC-coated fabric (vinyl) meets AS 1530.3 for flame resistance, which is a standard requirement in clinical and hospital imaging suites. The PVC-coated fabric is also UV resistant and non-porous, supporting the infection control protocols required in shared imaging facilities where multiple patients are scanned daily. Sealed seams prevent ultrasound gel — the primary contaminant in imaging — from penetrating the cushion foam.
A: Cardiac ultrasound requires a left lateral decubitus position with probe access to the apical window, which is difficult to achieve on a flat table. The Echo MB1 ($5,151.30) includes a hinged cardiac section that drops away to create a probe access slot. The entry-level Echo SB at $4,261.95 offers similar functionality at a lower price point for practices beginning their echocardiography service.
A: The Tanzanite provides up to 60 degrees of vascular tilt, positioning the patient for venous duplex ultrasound and arterial assessments that require gravity-assisted blood pooling in the lower extremities. This steep angle is essential for accurately measuring venous reflux times and valve competency. The Tanzanite is part of the Forme Medical range with a 10-year frame warranty and Australian manufacture.
A: An echo-drop section is a hinged panel that folds downward to create an opening in the table surface, allowing an ultrasound transducer to access the patient's left chest wall from below at an angle not achievable with the patient simply lying flat. The Echo MB1 at $5,151.30 features this hinged cardiac section specifically designed for echocardiography probe positioning.
