Image optimization

SonoCT real-time compound imaging

• High precision beam-steered image compounding acquires additional tissue imaging information compared to orthogonal beams and reduces angle-generated artifacts
• Enhanced needle visualization
• Multiple beam-steered lines of sight
• Operates in conjunction with harmonic and XRES imaging

Tissue Harmonic Imaging:

• System processing of second harmonic frequencies (nonlinear energy) in tissue
• Extends high-performance imaging capabilities to most patient body types
• Available in 2D imaging mode
• Image display with reduced artifacts

XRES adaptive imaging processing:

• Enhances images without altering the image resolution
• Reduces artifacts, enhances contrast resolution, visibility of tissue texture patterns, and border definition
• Available in 2D, zoom, post-freeze, and when capturing loops
• Applied to grayscale 2D image data
• Specifically optimized for each clinical application

AutoSCAN intelligent optimization:

• No-touch continuous intelligent optimization
• In 2D mode, automatically identifies tissue type and continuously adjusts TGC and receiver gain to achieve tissue uniformity and brightness
• Full-screen mode
• Available in live-imaging or review

Touchscreen interface

• Multi-touch user interface
• Alphanumeric QWERTY soft keyboard with Android voice recognition
• Imaging mode keys: 2D and color Doppler
• 2D image controls: depth, freeze, gain, and power
• Depth to 30 cm (exam-specific)
• Measurements: 2D distance calculation; M-mode calculation
• Color Doppler controls: angle, scale (fast/slow flow), gain
• Image acquisition keys: review, save the image, and save loop
• Annotation controls: text and erase

Workflow
