4. Answer the questions according to the text:
1) Where and when was the system, named proSound alpha 5, exhibited? 2) What is the essential factor for diagnostic ultrasound system? 3) What are the main features of Aloka's proSound technology? What can this technology provide? 4) What does Aloka's advanced microcircuit technology provide? 5) What is the opinion of the first users about the proSound alpha 5 technology? 6) What up-to-date functions is the system also featuring?
5. Translate into Russian: 1) It was impressive to see such an excellent 2D resolution on different wall layers. Even in very small vessels, fantastic Doppler sensitivity allowed us to have precise values. 2) Excellent for daily use in the radiology department. 3) The preeminent image quality is necessary for ultrasound diagnosis. 4) Aloka's advanced microcircuit technology provides the large-scale integration of the electronic circuit allowing creation of the high-density digital front-end

ProSound Alpha 7
Powerful, Friendly, Compact
The sleek ProSound Alpha 7 brings ergonomics, portability and premium performance to a new level. The most compact system in its class, the ProSound Alpha 7 inherits its high performance and digital front end technologies from Hitachi Aloka’s flagship Alpha 10. What’s more, this environmentally friendly “green machine” consumes 40% less electricity than previous models.
Broadband Harmonics™ Harmonic imaging by Broadband Harmonics™ technology delivers sensitivity and resolution comparable to those of fundamental imaging. In addition to reducing side lobes and multiple echoes, more detailed image information and much higher penetration in deeper areas are achieved.
Directional eFLOW™ (D-eFLOW) Compared with conventional blood flow display methods, D-eFLOW™ features enhanced spatial and time resolutions for greater detail. It is possible to display even narrow and slow flows in fingers and also fast flows in thick vessels like arteries without overlapping tissue images in high sensitivity. By assigning separate colors to flows moving toward and away from the transducer, it is possible to separately display narrow flows traveling in parallel.
User-friendly Universal Design The control panel swivels and is height adjustable. High-resolution flat panel LCD monitor with vertical adjustments on flexible arm User-customizable panel switches Multi-function controls
Environmentally friendly About 40% less power consumption than a conventional model.
Compact The lightest and most compact in its class allowing for excellent portability.
