Multiple application ultrasound platforms
Though requiring very little space, the ARIETTA platforms give highly resolved ultrasound anatomical detail due to the newly optimized generation, emission and detection of ultrasound signals, the improved signal processing, as well as the superb quality of the display. Using multi-layer crystal technology and an improved connector, the versatile range of probes achieves very high sensitivities from the enhanced signal-to-noise ratios, in addition to improved durability and handling. The sophisticated, flexible programming of the emitted and received ultrasound signals allows more precise control of the ultrasound beam, guaranteeing higher spatial resolution. Additionally, the new platforms are equipped with fast ultrasound-specific digital signal processors, supporting a great variety of application-related features and advanced data processing. The new ultrasound products are perfectly suited for many advanced applications, such as real-time virtual sonography for a side-by-side display of ultrasound and other modality results, e.g. CT or MRI; real-time tissue elastography, visualizing tissue strain in real-time and giving local stiffness information; 2D-tissue tracking for quantitatively evaluating the movement and the thickening of the cardiac muscle. Detailed ergonomic design that meets recommended industry standards supports a comfortable working environment and includes a 10,5 ‘ touch screen panel and a 21 ‘ IPS-Pro high-resolution monitor. Two way multi-rotary encoders enable the adjustment of many functions in one control, while the large palm rest at the centre of the operating console is designed to give optimum wrist support. The panel height can be lowered to 70 cm, allowing the operator to perform lower extremity examinations with a comfortable reach to the operating console. Compared with previous models the new systems are lighter by 45 %.
