The new Prime edition of the Acuson SC2000 cardiovascular imaging system is the first to offer live full-volume colour Doppler imaging of heart valve anatomy and blood-flow using a new true volume transesophageal echo (TEE) probe. With this technology, physicians can obtain a more anatomically authentic view of the heart and dynamic blood flow in one view during interventional valve procedures, even in patients with ECG abnormalities. This helps them to take faster and more accurate critical decisions. During 3D TEE imaging, the physician guides a flexible probe into the esophagus to acquire close-range, detailed pictures of the heart to assess valve function. When a dysfunctional valve leaks blood back into the heart chambers (known as regurgitation) or does not open properly to let through sufficient blood, a valve procedure may be necessary to repair or replace the valve with an artificial one. TEE is used to guide placement of devices such as mitraclips and artificial valves during cardiac interventions to correct valve dysfunction. Current methods of imaging with 3D TEE require stitching

The new VIVIDEO is an advanced ENT videoscope system launched in the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) markets. The system  consists of a video processor and video naso-pharyngo-laryngoscope (CP-1000 and VNL9-CP). It offers a high quality and affordable High-Definition (HD) video naso-pharyngo-laryngoscope, allowing fibre endoscopy users to affordably transition their practice to video endoscopy. This new easy-to-use technology delivers superior performance and image quality to enhance diagnostic yield and improve patient care. Due to its exceptional HD image quality and enhanced illumination, the VIVIDEO system enables high quality diagnostic examinations in all ENT environments. Its integrated HD video recording will capture and document clinical findings for documentation and comparison. Maximum patient comfort is also ensured because of the extremely small diameter insertion tube of just 3mm. Furthermore, its unique insertion tube flexibility and ergonomic, lightweight handle enables smooth and convenient procedures for improved workflow, enabling increased patient throughput.

The B-121 mammography housing is designed for high throughput and performance in specialized mammography systems. This air-cooled housing, which was developed for digital mammography and tomography applications, fits a standard 3 inch X-ray tube insert. It is available with two shroud configurations, with D/C fans or without fans. The B-121, when equipped with fans, has a 200% increase in continuous heat dissipation over standard mammography housings. This results in higher throughput rates and significant workflow efficiencies.

The FUJIFILM SonoSite X-Porte point-of-care ultrasound system is particularly well suited to interventional radiology. The image quality is very high and it has a large, full-screen display and a resolution that is comparable to much larger instruments. The very rapid boot-up time and good battery life are also perfect for interventional procedures, particularly as the system is so portable and robust, meaning it is always available where and when needed. The X-Porte is very easy to use thanks to a most intuitive interface and the built-in electronic manuals and online help mean that virtually no training is required. It has few controls, allowing the user to quickly set the gain, brightness, depth and colour Doppler. The lack of mechanical buttons also simplifies infection control; a sterile cover can be placed over the entire system enabling the user to operate the touch screen with gloved hands, then quickly and easily wipe it down between procedures.

The Carestream Touch Ultrasound System offers a combination of exceptional user experience and image quality. This innovative ultrasound platform delivers a special all-touch control panel, integrated GPU processing power and smart transducer technology coupled with a single-board system design. This creates a highly reliable product with advanced imaging capabilities, a compact footprint and a modern user interface. The sleek, all-touch control panel blends the best of both worlds by combining the speed and flexibility of a soft user interface with the tactile feedback of traditional keys. Etched marking for primary controls assists the user with easily locating key functions without looking away from the image display monitor. Other features include a sealed panel that allows effortless cleaning to help limit the spread of pathogens; high-level computing power providing both speed and excellent image quality; easy manoeuverability and a small, lightweight footprint making the imaging process faster and easier; ‘swipe and go’ badge log-on to save time and promote secure access; ‘smart connect’ transducer technology enabling easy one-touch selection; cold boot time of an unprecedented 18 seconds to further enhance productivity, with no need for standby mode or battery backup; and easy cart adjustments to allow sonographers to position the system where it is most comfortable to help reduce repetitive stress injuries.
