GE HealthCare SONDE CONVEXE GE C358

GE C358 Convex Probe

The GE C358 is a convex ultrasound probe designed for general-purpose imaging. It is intended to provide good penetration and reliable visualization of anatomical structures, particularly for abdominal, obstetric, gynecological, and urological examinations. GE documentation for the Vivid 3 and Vivid 4 systems indicates a frequency range of 2.0 to 5.7 MHz and identifies the C358 as a probe particularly suited to abdominal imaging.

Main Features

• Manufacturer: GE Healthcare
• Model: C358
• Type: Convex Array probe
• Documented frequency range: 2.0 to 5.7 MHz
• Probe aperture: approximately 58 mm according to available references
• Main applications: abdominal, obstetric, gynecological, and urological imaging
• Color Doppler: useful for evaluating vascular structures such as the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries

Clinical Applications

The C358 is primarily designed for examinations requiring good imaging penetration. It is particularly suitable for abdominal examinations, allowing visualization of organs and structures such as the liver, kidneys, and major blood vessels. GE documentation also indicates its usefulness for visualization of fetal anatomy.

• Abdominal imaging: examination of the liver, kidneys, and other abdominal structures.
• Obstetrics: visualization of fetal anatomy and ultrasound follow-up.
• Gynecology: pelvic ultrasound examinations within compatible applications.
• Urology: examination of the urinary and renal structures.
• Abdominal vascular imaging: Color Doppler can be used to evaluate the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries.

Design and Performance

Thanks to its convex array technology and relatively low frequency range, the C358 is suitable for examinations requiring deeper penetration. Its design makes it particularly appropriate for abdominal imaging and for patients where greater penetration is required.

GE documentation also identifies the C358 as a multifrequency probe intended for general imaging, with a design aimed at maintaining signal integrity and supporting image quality.
