This bed offers a combined imaging drop section with a patented Original Wedge Section, enabling the sonographer to easily place patients on their side for the left lateral decubitus position. Putting the patient into the optimal position allows the sonographer to easily obtain the apical view. The SonoBed Atlas is manufactured by SonoBed, a premier manufacturer of ergonomic exam beds for all modes of ultrasound. Below is a comparison of similar tables or beds showing the SonoBed-Atlas is the best option to meet the requirements.
