Innovative Imaging Modes
For Increased Accuracy and a Larger Variety of Clinical Applications

The SuperSonic® MACH™ 20 ultrasound system features several innovative imaging modes, thanks to its UltraFast™ leading edge technology. These innovations integrate perfectly with routine workflow and are designed to deliver meaningful added value into general imaging:
- ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™ imaging)
- Angio PL.U.S™ – PLanewave UltraSensitive™ imaging
- Needle PL.U.S™ Imaging
- Suite of Liver Tools
ShearWave™ PL.U.S Elastography
Take Advantage of Outstanding Image Quality and Access to ShearWave™ PL.U.S Elastography
It is a quick, non-invasive, reproducible exam that provides quantitative measurement and color-coded maps of the tissue stiffness on an anatomic B-Mode image. The added value of our real-time ShearWave™ PL.U.S Elastography to the medical imaging landscape is recognized by major scientific societies1 in ultrasound. It is also backed by a long track record of scientific research with nearly 900 clinical publications demonstrating the value of SWE™ imaging for the clinical management of patients in a wide range of clinical applications.
With ShearWave™ PL.U.S Elastography, you will benefit from a new kind of elastography experience:
- High Framerate real-time imaging2
- Enhanced spatial resolution3
- Increased penetration4
- Dynamic tissue stiffness evaluation (up to 1,200 kPa or 20 m/s) with large, color-coded map.
- ACR BI RADS: Ultrasound (2015), KSUM Guidelines for breast elastography (2014), EFSUMB (2013) and WFUMB Guidelines
- Real time image processing is related with typical frame rate. Current standard for capture is typically 30 frames per second and can go up to 120 frames per second for some conventional ultrasound equipment. The UltraFast™ technology allows for the image acquisition up to 20,000 frames per second.
- SUPERSONIC® MACH™ 20 ultrasound system technical specifications: SWE™ imaging spatial resolution is 2mm for all transducers.
- SUPERSONIC® MACH™ 20 ultrasound system technical specifications: SWE™ imaging Box depth at maximum 12 cm.
SWE™ imaging also constitutes a complementary tool for the management of cancer patients for:
- lesion characterization1 and biopsy guidance
- surgical planning2
- therapy planning and monitoring3
“With mammography, we fail to identify almost half the breast cancers in patients with dense breasts, so we need to use other tools to help improve the diagnosis of cancer in those women (…) There are several features that I like about ShearWave™ Elastography: it gives us additional information about lesions, it improves specificity and therefore improves confidence in our final diagnosis.”

Angio PL.U.S™ Imaging
To Assess Microvasculature without the Need of Contrast Agents
Angio PL.U.S™ imaging provides a new level of microvascular imaging through an exceptional high frame rate color sensitivity and spatial resolution while maintaining exceptional 2D imaging.
Thanks to its ability to detect microvascularization in different types of lesions, this mode could open the door to added clinical information and diagnostic perspectives, in both benign and malignant lesions, without the need of contrast agents.
Needle PL.U.S™ Imaging
To Perform Your Biopsies with Precision and Confidence
Needle PL.U.S™ imaging was developed to provide leveraging our unique UltraFast™ technology to provide enhanced needle visibility and introduce a unique functionality: needle trajectory prediction.
In practice, Needle PL.U.S™ imaging enables you to visualize both biopsy needles and anatomical structures in real time with unrivaled precision, and also predict where the needle is supposed to go.
Liver Ultrasound Markers
