Review
The GE Voluson P8 is an entry-point to the Voluson ultrasound family, allowing physicians to enjoy all the technological benefits of GE’s innovations over the decades at an affordable price point of around $16,000 to $26,000. The Voluson P8 was introduced in 2012 and developed based on the Voluson S6, Voluson S8, and the Voluson E-Series, which includes the highly popular Voluson E8 and Voluson E10. The imaging concept and design of the GE Voluson P8 are primarily focused and optimized for OB/GYN applications. They are delivered through GE’s advanced imaging technologies, including Coded Harmonic Imaging with Pulse Inversion technology, Speckle Reduction Imaging, and CrossXBeam (Compound Resolution Imaging). The GE Voluson P8 also provides an intuitive and easy-to-use keyboard from the Voluson family that allows for the immediate performance of routine clinical scanning.

One of the major strengths of the GE Voluson P8 from an efficiency perspective is that it features the integration of several of GE’s unique automation technologies. Auto Optimization for 2D and Doppler helps enhance contrast resolutions at the touch of a button. Additionally, SonoBiometry, SonoNT/IT, SonoAVCfollicle, SonoL&D, and SonoRenderStart all improve the scanning and diagnosis efficiency of key exam operations by reducing the number of keystrokes needed as well as enhancing the reproducibility of measurements.

3D HDlive is one of the primary features that set the GE Voluson P8 apart from many of its competitors, such as the Samsung UGEO H60 and SonoAce R7 and the Philips ClearVue 650. Hospital administrators and specialized clinics will also find this high-resolution 3D imaging technology cost-efficient, with added value for physicians and patients.
