Illuminate the Chambers of the Heart – See EChO in a Whole New Light.

Guardsman Scientific pairs Canon’s i900 and one-button EChO imaging, so your lab reads with efficiency and confidence.

One-button Chamber Opacification

Ultra-premium cardiac imaging

Exclusive U.S. Canon partnership

Cardiac Ultrasound Is Getting Harder

Harder patients, stretched staff, and cheaper point-of-care devices are quietly eroding the value of the premium echo lab. Three pressures are compounding at once:

Patient Complexity

Larger, older, and technically difficult patients mean more non-diagnostic and repeat exams.

Sonographer Strain

Long protocols and fatigue drive variability, burnout, and costly staff turnover.

Devalued Imaging

Point-of-care devices dilute premium echo’s role — and its reimbursement.

Featured Technology

EChO: Easy Chamber Opacification

One button illuminates the endocardial borders — early in the exam, on your hardest patients — using Canon’s advanced SMI Doppler. No contrast. No new protocols. Clinicians keep asking the same question:

“Is this digital contrast?”

✓ One-button activation, built into the Canon i900
✓ Applied early — no change to how you scan
✓ Powered by Canon’s Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI)
✓ Clearer borders on technically difficult patients
