IMV imaging have been at the forefront of ultrasound technology development for farm animals since the very beginning. Additionally, we have developed a whole host of resources to help you achieve your scanning goals.

Which scanner is best for my needs?  

Whether you’re a farm vet or paraprofessional, IMV imaging are here to help you choose your equipment, make the best use of it, and maintain it.  

With such a wide range of species, users and uses in the production animal world, it can be difficult to know where to begin.  

Pregnancy diagnosis (PDs) and herd health  

Reproductive scanning is the main use for our scanners; and we have tailor-made kit for pregnancy diagnosis in cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.  

For cattle, the Easiscan range allows for accurate pregnancy diagnosis, ageing of the foetus, diagnosis of reproductive pathologies and reproductive management of the whole herd.  

We also have Easiscan and Duoscan options perfect for later PDs, and these scanners are very popular with our paraprofessional customers.  

For reproductive scanning in sheep and pigs, the Oviscan and Duo-scan:Go ranges provide excellent durability, image quality and performance, with the same excellent choice of viewing devices and app capabilities.  

What else can I use my scanner for on farm?

The Easiscan also has uses far beyond the reproductive tract. The Easiscan’s linear probe can be used to scan both the udder and thorax. This makes it great for the diagnosis and monitoring of mastitis, and pneumonia in calves.  

How can I view the scanner images on farm?

IMV imaging manufacture all manner of durable, wireless viewing devices to help you, and the farmer, see what you’re scanning. Viewing screens, wrist mounts, monocles and wireless goggles are all tailormade to work seamlessly with your scanner. The IMV Go:scan app allows you to use your own device to view the image, alter the machine settings, calculate foetal age, measure back fat and upload animal data.  

Having Trouble? 

Even though our kit is designed with the farm environment in mind, we still recommend maintaining your kit with a service contract. If your machine needs some TLC; our service department are here to help you. The Clinical team can support you with use of your machine in practice, and the Account management team are here for any questions you might have about purchasing equipment.
