We've been selling the Vivid systems since they were known as the System FiVe from Vingmed... Back then, if you could dig your way through the user interface and impossible stress echo system, the System FiVe provided you with image quality like you'd never seen.
GE purchased this company and soon thereafter the Vivid series was introduced.
When the Vivid 7 hit the market, the only time we've seen more "buzz" around a system was the release of GE's Voluson 730 4D ultrasound. (They didn't make that either, it was developed by another company that GE purchased, just like Vingmed).
The Vivid 7 cardiac/vascular ultrasound was so popular, you could hardly get into GE's booth at trade shows. Its image quality, color Doppler, penetration, stress package, image management, and frame rates were like nothing on the market.
Competition has caught up, but GE, to its credit, has stayed ahead of the game and provides great 3D, 4D, and advanced imaging packages to "keep up with the Jones'"
Regardless, it's such a popular system that you can get them cheap on the used equipment market. They're available, well-priced, and we're experts at installation, training, and service on these. There's one available in every budget.
Every time we install one of these systems, there is an overwhelming surprise from customers, who realize they received an incredible piece of equipment at a low price. It always helps to then remind them that reimbursements are the same no matter if the system cost $20,000 or $200,000 ;-)
