Cardiovascular package for new ultrasound scanners
The Cardiovascular Package for the new Aplio series ultrasound systems features ‘Picture Perfect Ultrasound’ for the cardiovascular segment on Aplio 300, 400, and 500 together with advanced features such as Tissue Enhancement and Wall Motion Tracking. The Cardiovascular Package which has been developed together with key opinion leaders in Japan, Europe, and the USA, includes features such as Tissue Enhancement for extreme image quality in transthoracic and transesophageal imaging, flexible M-Mode, comprehensive measurement programs, an on-board reporting module, a very user-friendly stress echo imaging tool, and a soft ware for automatic measurement of intima-media-thickness (IMT)’. The new Aplios can operate a wide range of high performance transducers offering for many applications in the areas of echocardiography and vascular imaging powerful, user friendly, and flexible workflow solutions. A highlight of the Cardiovascular Package is the new Wall Motion Tracking application. ‘High-fi delity’ raw data-based speckle tracking technology from the latest version of the Artida, Toshiba’s flagship product in echocardiography, is now available on the new Aplio series supporting the initiative of the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and the European Association of Echocardiography (EAE) to achieve a standardization of speckle tracking measurements. Wall Motion Tracking on the new Aplio is easy-to-operate, contains comprehensive measurement capabilities, including various strain and strain rate parameters, and can be evaluated directly on the ultrasound system or off -line on the post-processing workstation.
