U64. Ultrasound Engine Built For Your Vision
FDA-cleared ultrasound engine with stackable architecture (64 to 256+ channels). Native raw data output and deep API customization seamlessly power your hardware, AI algorithms, and clinical workflows.
Open Ultrasound Engine designed for custom integration.
Integrating clinical ultrasound into energy-based or procedural hardware traditionally meant accepting closed, rigid architectures or forcing clinicians through steep learning curves.
Engineered as an open, modifiable platform, U64 delivers high-fidelity ultrasound imaging and uncompressed
raw data directly into your device's software and machine learning pipelines.
By combining smart procedural presets with deep API control, U64 enables technicians and operators to execute precise imaging protocols.
Built for Your Existing Workflow
Unrestricted Open Architecture & Deep API
Built from the ground up as an open platform. Modify scanning depth, operational parameters, and custom scanning geometries (including circular computational tomography) through full API access.
Direct Raw Data Access for AI
Extract uncompressed, raw acoustic channel data alongside high-resolution clinical images. Feed high-fidelity signals directly into your proprietary AI models and algorithmic workflows.
Stackable Channel Scalability
Scale performance effortlessly. Deploy U64 across 64, 128, or 256 standard channels—or stack multiple U64 modules together to power multi-hundred channel custom transducers for research and specialized surgical guidance at a fraction of traditional costs.
Simplified, Programmable Operation
Automate target depths, focal zones, and tissue presets within your software. Minimize training investment and enable clinicians to run repeatable, multi-stage imaging protocols without interrupting their workflow.
OEM-Ready Compact Form Factor
Ultra-compact, standard hardware footprint designed for seamless embedding within aesthetic, surgical, burn care, and procedural devices.
End-to-End Engineering Support
Leverage the Ursus engineering team for custom hardware modification, API extension, and regulatory guidance to accelerate your product's time-to-market.

Deeper Procedural Precision, Zero New Training: A Case Study on U64 Embedded Ultrasound
Aesthetics Biomedical integrated the U64 module into their Vivace Ultra RF microneedling platform to enable real-time tissue imaging and depth measurement—the first of its kind.
-
The linear array ultrasound technology enables real-time visualization of skin layers across the treatment area, allowing practitioners to map each patient's anatomy and determine optimal needle depth for personalized treatment plans—delivering precision without requiring specialized ultrasound expertise.
With over 200 systems deployed in dermatology and aesthetic practices, UltraVision™ demonstrates that U64's autonomous imaging capability eliminates training barriers for clinic staff while enabling consistent, superior clinical outcomes across full-body treatment areas.
This deployment validates that embedding ultrasound into procedural devices creates genuine competitive differentiation: practitioners gain diagnostic insight and safety, patients receive personalized, precision results, and clinic operations maintain efficiency—all without adding specialist infrastructure.
U64 on Polaris Dawn: Research Case Study
During the September 2024 Polaris Dawn mission, Ursus deployed the U64 ultrasound system to measure optic nerve sheath dynamics in astronauts at an altitude of 1,408 km—the highest human spaceflight in over 50 years.
-
The research advanced understanding of Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS), a vision-related condition linked to fluid shifts in microgravity that poses significant risk on long-duration missions. By demonstrating reliable imaging in the extreme constraints of spaceflight, U64 validated the feasibility of autonomous ultrasound monitoring for deep space exploration.
