I got to look at the Cypress and was pretty impressed.  In fact I am trying to get my hospital to purchase one.  I thought the image resolution was pretty good for a small system.  The Doppler was very good, which is was impressed me the most.  I only used it for one day but we had several difficult patients.  The system did well.  I have done carotids and veins with it.  We also played around a bit with some peripheral arterial imaging.  Our echo people like it very much for their portable echos.

Our cardiology group currently uses the Cypress for cardiac studies in a
satellite office.  The doctors would like to offer carotid duplex services
to those patients. Siemens recently demonstrated the vascular package for
the Cypress; it seemed okay for the few patients we scanned.  Is anyone out
there using the Cypress for carotids?  Feedback please, one way or the
other, regarding vascular application (carotids only) on the Cypress.  Do
you know if an abdominal package for the Cypress is on it's way or not;
I've heard conflicting reports.
Thanks,
Elaine
