EP539100BB/EP539500DG-Board Repair Aloka Alpha 7 RX BF/DBF1/DBF2

P/N: EP539100BB/EP539500DG

The RX BF/DBF1/DBF2 board is the core front-end receiving and digital beam-forming board set for the Hitachi Aloka Prosound Alpha 7 ultrasound system. It is responsible for receiving, amplifying, and processing ultrasound echo signals, and plays a critical role in image quality and channel performance.

Basic Information

  • Part Numbers:
    • RX Board: EP539100BB
