What do I think?
The Esaote MyLab Omega is a step up from the Sigma model. It is a portable version of the cart based machine X7. I was blown away by this machine. The Omega has immense image quality.
It has really nice settings, and I feel that Esaote has worked hard to iron out some of the more annoying aspects of the older MyLab machines, such as changing probe and present within a patient profile.
They have also introduced a preset that highlights gastrointestinal tract walls brilliantly and in great detail. The image quality is just outstanding, and it certainly is a step up from the Sigma and X5 models in image quality.
But it is therefore also a step up in price! The value is evident with this machine, however. If you can afford this machine, this is definitely a machine to aspire to.
Summary
In summary,
Pros: Incredible image quality
Cons: Price, but it's still great value

When people talk to me about ultrasound machines, they are often overwhelmed by the choice and unsure about what machine is best for their practice.
In my experience, the most important factor that everyone is looking for is the best image quality for their budget.
To ease the overwhelm, I've designed a quiz that explores your needs and budget. By answering key questions, you'll streamline your search and receive a tailored recommendation for the perfect machine that suits your practice.
