Siemens Introduces Acuson Sequoia 12.0 High Performance Imaging Release               

Siemens Medical Solutions’ Ultrasound Division introduced the High Performance Imaging release for their ACUSON Sequoia™ echocardiography

The release adds two new transducers to the system: the 9L4 Multi-D and the 17L5 HD. Multi-D™ array transducer technology provides uniform elevation focusing for improved contrast and spatial resolution. The 17L5 HD transducer dramatically improves the vascular image detail, as well as overall resolution in imaging of the breast, small parts and complex masses. Its patent-pending ergonomic design allows users to easily grip the transducer in their palm, reducing hand strain while scanning.  Read more
 

 

Siemens Demonstrates New Methods of Cardiovascular Risk Assessment at the American Society of Echocardiography               

                                                       

The company’s syngo® Arterial Health Package (AHP) for cardiovascular risk assessment provides semi-automated quantification tools for users that help to assess and visually demonstrate the cardiovascular risk potential of patients using the concept of “Vascular Age.” According to the American Heart Association, one in three adults has some form of cardiovascular disease. Despite increased awareness of standard risk factors (eg, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking), lifestyle changes induced by knowing “Vascular Age” could further prevent a significant number of heart attacks and strokes. Prediction and prevention help people to minimize their cardiovascular risk rather than waiting for symptoms to develop. Read more.
 

 

TruScan leads GE's revolutionary imaging platform.
