Sonography Tools: How to Choose the Right Ultrasound Paper

In sonography, image clarity plays a vital role in both diagnostics and patient communication. Printed ultrasound images are often used in clinical documentation, follow-up care, and patient take-home materials. The quality of these prints depends heavily on the ultrasound paper used, making it an important part of the imaging workflow.

What Is Ultrasound Paper?

Ultrasound paper is a thermal-sensitive film used to print grayscale images from ultrasound machines. It’s most often used in applications where printed records are needed for patient files, physician reviews, or patient communication. This type of film must deliver reliable contrast, detail, and durability in a fast-paced clinical setting.

How to Choose the Right Film for Sonography

When selecting a thermal film for sonography, image resolution, printer compatibility, and cost per print are key considerations. The right film should produce crisp detail, handle frequent use, and offer smooth operation across multiple imaging systems.

At Nissha Medical Technologies, we developed a solution that checks all those boxes.
