Dynamic Assessment of the Musculo-Skeletal Systems

SWE™ PL.U.S imaging with its unique and even higher ability to analyze tissue stiffness (up to 1,200 kPa or 20 m/s), and in real time, is an asset for tendinopathy assessment and muscle disorders quantification. By adding innovative imaging modes, such as Angio PL.U.S™ imaging and Needle PL.U.S™ imaging, ultrasound exams benefit from complementary diagnostic information.

The utility of SWE™ imaging for Musculo-Skeletal systems has been demonstrated in more than 200 publications to:

• Screen and assess both inflammatory and mechanical Tendinopathies
• Turn subjective muscular examination into quantifiable objective assessment
• Monitor Treatment

UltraFast™ imaging architecture offers unique performance in vascular imaging. Detection of transient hemodynamic flows by UltraFast™ Doppler imaging and displaying of microvasculature with Angio PL.U.S™ imaging contribute to the evaluation of global cardiovascular risk.

The multiple imaging modalities are a significant advancement in diagnostic tools for prostate cancer assessment, and a first step towards multiparametric ultrasound examination of prostate tissue.

Real-time ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™ imaging), delivers a quantitative color-coded map of prostate stiffness at the touch of a button. The very large ROI of SWE™ imaging can cover all of the prostate gland allowing for global assessment of the prostate stiffness and inhomogeneities and quick localization of suspicious areas.

Ultrasound is an imaging tool that is particularly well adapted to children because their organs are not very deep. However, conventional pediatric ultrasound exams are sometimes challenging to perform due to small structures that are hard to image, patient movement and/or the inability for young children to perform apnea.

Our ultrasound systems produce clinically detailed images with excellent spatial resolution for small structures. For children in constant movement, UltraFast™ Doppler imaging makes vascular exams easier.

UltraFast™ Doppler imaging combines both Color Doppler and Pulsed Wave Doppler.

In addition, real-time ShearWave™ Elastography can also be used with children to image tissue elasticity in kilopascals. ShearWave™ Elastography can image liver stiffness even without apnea required and through very small intercostal spaces, or epigastrically, making the pediatric diagnostic.
