With its premium features and large userfriendly display, the new Noblus from Hitachi Aloka Medical was developed as a diagnostic ultrasound platform that can be used in many different clinical settings for a wide variety of examinations. The Noblus is designed in the form of a laptop PC with an optional cart, bringing a flexibility of style optimizing its use, whether on a desk in the consultation room, at the patient bedside in ICU, or in an emergency room. As a winner of the Good Design Award 2012, the quality of its design has already been acknowledged by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Although compact in design, Noblus has premium features that can be exploited in many different applications, including Realtime Tissue Elastography, a premium feature previously found only on larger cartbased systems, which is used to assess the relative elasticity of tissue, providing increased diagnostic confidence in the benign or malignant nature of lesions in the breast, thyroid, prostate, gastrointestinal tract, and many others. Migrated from high-end HI VISION systems, Hitachi Aloka’s Ultra BE, the digital signal circuit dedicated to ultrasound processing, brings reliable diagnostic performance and premium image quality. Noblus has its own dedicated range of smart connector transducers for standard applications, and is compatible with many transducers from the HI VISION series: specialist transducers for biopsy, interventional, intraoperative, endocavity and endoscopic examinations; and it also supports Single Crystal transducers where the entire element array is created from a single crystal, providing higher sensitivity and wider bandwidths than achieved with traditional transducers. Its space-saving design allows the operating console to fold up, providing more desk space between exams. Equipped with a battery and supporting wireless DICOM communication, Noblus offers smooth mobility for portable rounds within the hospital. Smart Touch Feature allows parameter adjustment by direct touch of the screen, allowing the examiner to maintain his focus on the ultrasound image.

Following the Compact extendable breathing systems for adults, a new pediatric range has been launched with features that offer some distinct advantages. Concertinaed supply increases the number of systems per box, for more cost effective storage and disposal. A standard box of Compact systems could provide a hospital with an extra three weeks supply. Adjustable length means the tubing can be extended/collapsed to suit exact needs. The shallow profile tube improves laminar gas flow with lower resistance to flow. Softer material results in a quiet, non-disruptive sound when expanded and collapsed while flexibility allows for easy tube positioning, without the need for additional connections, which suits head and neck surgery. Compliance is excellent when extended, at 0.28ml/mbar per metre of tube, less than that required in the ISO 5367:2000 standard. The Paediatric Compact breathing system is available in three lengths: 1.5m, 2.0m, and 3.0m (extended length). A one-litre reservoir bag with limb options are also available.

The first truly portable DR system for controlled, low-dose x-ray examinations, the Digiview 250 flat panel digital detector is ideal for the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and general radiology imaging applications. The Digiview 250 produces high resolution (5.2 lp/mm), high contrast (65,536 gray levels) images in seconds and the technologically advanced, efficient CMOS construction acquires them at the very lowest radiation levels. With Kubtec’s userfriendly suite of enhancement tools, including the ability to access MWL and send multiple images to PACS, the Digiview 250 is a most efficient tool for totally portable low dose imaging. Higher efficiency leads to better quality of care, higher patient throughput, and improved workflow for hospital staff. Easy to handle and designed with the most fragile patients in mind, the Digiview 250 fits into an incubator and with its advanced CMOS construction, requires the shortest exposure time to produce the most detailed, high-contrast images. Designed for portable imaging applications and easily positioned with one hand, it is packaged in a custom-molded housing with a slim cassette and an integrated handle. A cable tether connects the detector to a laptop or PC to acquire and display the images that can be sent wirelessly to PACS. Using less than 10 Watts of power consumption, the Digiview 250 runs off a standard AC power adapter or even a battery pack.

Designed for both fluoroscopic and radiographic exams, the new Pixium RF 4343 FL detector offers the largest field of view in the market and enables easy integration in remote-controlled table configurations. It is the appropriate solution for transition to digital. It generates in real time high-quality images for both routine dynamic applications such as arthroscopy, barium swallow, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, etc, and high-end static exams. The Pixium RF 4343 FL is based on a cesium iodide scintillator (Pixium
