Shortlist a portable ultrasound scanner by the probe type you need, the imaging modes required in your workflow and the depth of examination. Use the comparisons below to review model-specific differences, then open each product page for complete specifications.
Probe selection usually begins with the anatomy and scan depth. These examples explain the main differences before you compare individual models.
Convex probes are commonly compared for abdominal and obstetric examinations, where a curved field of view and deeper scanning are useful.
Linear probes suit relatively shallow structures such as vessels, tendons, nerves, the thyroid and other small parts.
Compare combined configurations when one scanner needs to cover several examination types. Check for phased-array support when cardiac imaging is required.
These models combine more than one probe in a single portable scanner. The main difference is whether you need a cardiac phased-array probe as well as convex and linear imaging.
3 probe types: linear, convex and phased array
3 probe types: linear, convex and phased array
2 probe types: convex and linear
| Model | Probe configuration | Imaging modes | Key specifications | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vsono-CL4 | Linear + convex + phased array | B, BM, Color Doppler, PW, PDI | 192 elements; 220 g; up to 3 hours; iOS, Android, Windows | Broad multi-specialty use when cardiac imaging is also required |
| Vsono-CL1 | Linear + convex + phased array | B-mode, Color Doppler, PW, PDI | 128-element model; 220 g; 18 fps; up to 3 hours; iOS, Android, Windows | Three-probe versatility across abdominal, superficial and cardiac applications |
| Vsono-CL3 | Convex + linear | B, B/M, Color Doppler, PW, PDI | 128 elements; 270 g; 18 fps; up to 3 hours; iOS, Android, Windows | Abdominal and superficial imaging without a phased-array cardiac probe |
How to choose: Start with the CL4 if you need all three probe types and its 192-element configuration. Consider the CL1 for a three-probe configuration with 128 elements. Choose the CL3 if convex and linear imaging cover your work and you do not need a phased-array probe. Check each product page for the complete frequency, depth and measurement specifications.
Convex probes are commonly selected for abdominal and obstetric examinations because their lower-frequency design and curved field of view support deeper scanning. These three models are not identical: the C1 and C2 are B-mode options, while the C5 adds Doppler imaging.
| Model | Probe / elements | Modes | Published depth | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vsono-C1 | Convex, 128 elements | B, B/M | 90–280 mm in product specifications | General abdominal and obstetric B-mode scanning |
| Vsono-C2 | Convex, 80 elements | B-mode imaging | 100–200 mm in product listing | Basic convex imaging where a simpler configuration is sufficient |
| Vsono-C5 | Convex, 128 elements | B, B/M, Color Doppler, PW and Power Doppler | 100–200 mm in product listing | Convex scanning when blood-flow Doppler modes are required |
How to choose: Compare the C1 and C2 for B-mode work, paying attention to the published element count and depth range. Choose the C5 when Color Doppler and PW/Power Doppler are important. Confirm the depth required for your examinations against the detailed product specifications.
Linear probes are designed for relatively shallow structures such as vessels, tendons, nerves, thyroid and other small parts. The key difference between these two models is Doppler capability.
| Model | Frequency / elements | Modes | Depth / weight | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vsono-L1 | 7.5/10 MHz; 128 elements | B, B/M, Color, PDI, PW | 20–55 mm; 250 g | Linear imaging when Doppler and broader imaging modes are needed |
| Vsono-L2 | 7.5–10 MHz; 128 elements | B-mode | 20–55 mm; 200 g | Portable superficial imaging where B-mode is sufficient |
How to choose: Select the L1 if Color Doppler, PDI or PW are part of your workflow. The L2 is a lighter B-mode option for superficial examinations. If you need a dedicated aesthetic-frequency scanner, compare the models below instead.
C10MB PRO handheld facial ultrasound scanner
C10MR PRO compact facial ultrasound scannerThese models target superficial facial and skin structures. Higher frequency supports finer near-field detail but is intended for shallower imaging than general abdominal probes.
| Model | Frequency | Depth | Weight | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VSONO-ML3 | 18/22 MHz | 10–25 mm | 180 g | Superficial facial anatomy, skin layers and vascular mapping |
| C10MB PRO | 16/20 MHz | 10–40 mm | 223 g | Facial mapping with a somewhat deeper published range |
| C10MR PRO | 18/24 MHz | 10–25 mm | 160 g | Very superficial facial imaging with an especially lightweight design |
All three product descriptions list B-mode and Doppler capabilities. Compare the precise probe footprint, imaging modes, connection options and intended procedure depth on each product page before choosing.
| Model | Purpose | Measurement / battery | Compatibility | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vsono-BL1 | Dedicated 4D bladder scanning | 10–2,000 ml; published error rate under 5%; up to 4 hours | Apple iOS / iPad only | Clinical bladder-volume and post-void residual assessment |
| VSONO-B1 | Wearable continuous bladder monitoring and alerts | 10–2,000 ml monitoring capacity; up to 26 hours; 45 g | Bluetooth-connected phone/workstation workflow | Ongoing monitoring and threshold alerts rather than a conventional handheld 4D scan |
