Mindray M7 Portable Ultrasound Review and
Video
A look at the popular high-end portable ultrasound product from Mindray
This is a beautiful machine. I cover a lot of the features in the video, including its 4D imaging
ABOUT capabilities, but this portable ultrasound machine really hits the mark. On par with the SonoSite M-
Turbo/Edge products and some of the Vivid lines from GE, the price/performance of this system is
extremely hard to beat.

While this product has been very popular for use of orthopedics, MSK, needle guided injections,
anesthesiology, veins, vascular and other such emerging markets, this system really does a nice job
as a full shared-service system. It has very capable cardiac capabilities (unlike the M5), 4D obstetric
imaging and provides great imaging for abdominal, OB, GYN, endocrinology, etc. It is the first

not yet an option on this system. For that, you should still consider the GE Vivid i or GE Vivid e.
Ideally, this system is fantastic for those running a mobile ultrasound business. Because of its
strengths in so many areas, you can cover a wide range of clients with the same machine. Some
who don't need 4D or cardiac choose the M5, MicroMaxx, or Logiq e to meet a budget demand. But
established businesses that need the extra capabilities find it to meet all their needs (budget, image
quality, portability, durability).
Also popular is the vein and musculoskeletal market. I have some images of the tendons in my hand
on this video, and its
Very Important Note about the Video Review
All the images are done by me on my own body. My job is to recommend and sell ultrasound
equipment. My customer base is typically made up of small offices who are looking to introduce
ultrasound or upgrade their current system.
I am an expert on comparing these systems and I have a vast library of images from a great variety of
ultrasound machines. I can TRULY compare images side-by-side with the same "technician" and
"model", which allows me to make the best recommendation for their needs.
Additionally, in order to test and take images of these systems, I have to learn how to use them.
When people purchase the system, I also offer free phone support to get them through those first
scary months of using the ultrasound machine.
So when you view my videos, note that these images are done by the same person on the same
body or phantom (except the 4D images of a live baby, of course). They're done by me, who has
used the ultrasound and can actually tell you the benefits of each system and sell you the system
that best fits your budget and needs.
Things I Overlooked...
