Dynamic Assessment of the Musculo-Skeletal Systems

ShearWave™ PLUS Elastography 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 PLUS imaging and Needle PLUS imaging, ultrasound exams benefit from complementary diagnostic information.

The utility of ShearWave™ Elastography imaging for Musculo-Skeletal systems has been demonstrated in more than 200 publications¹ to:

• Explore both inflammatory and mechanical disorders, such as tendinopathies
• Screen and assess musculoskeletal injuries
• Turn subjective muscular examination into quantifiable objective assessment
• Obtain precise characterization of the musculoskeletal unit for a more confident diagnosis.
• Monitor Treatment

• Conduct ultrasensitive blood flow analysis without compromise with Angio PLUS imaging
• Improve patient management and monitoring with advanced vascular analysis.

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 ShearWave™ Elastography imaging can cover all of the prostate gland allowing for global assessment¹ of the prostate stiffness and inhomogeneities and quick localization of suspicious areas.

• Screen for prostate cancer and characterize lesions.
• Conduct multiparametric prostate assessments¹ and therapy monitoring.
• Perform targeted prostate biopsies.

Dedicated optimized presets to meet all imaging needs

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 is designed to 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.^1,2

• Gain key information (morphology, stiff ness and microvascularization) with real-time multiparametric assessments to enhance diagnostic efficiency and patient monitoring
• Leverage new ultrasound biomarkers to optimize and guide patient management at an early stage
• Tailor it to your requirements; a family of pediatric transducers and application-specific presets.
