Accuvix XQ upgraded

Accuvix XQ, made by Korean firm Medison (pioneer of the first commercial real-time 3-D US scanner) has been upgraded and re-released as Accuvix XQ Prestige06.

Since its launch in 2003, this equipment has been continuously improved and the firm reports it is now considered a ‘next-generation ultrasound diagnostic system with future standards’.
Medison adds that, during its debut at ISUOG 2006, Accuvix Prestige 07 attracted keen support among international visitors due to its Spatial Compound Imaging (SCI), which achieves striking enhancement of 2-D image quality; 3-D Compound Imaging (3D CI), which dramatically improves image quality of C-plane – a drawback of current ultrasound diagnostic systems, and the 3-D Auto-Contour, which realises fast 3-D, thereby setting new standards for premium ultrasound system and helping to produce more precise and convenient diagnosis.

Accuvix XQ Prestige 07 has various advanced probe functionalities, such as 129,024 channels, Clip Cine Store and easy-to-handle User Interface.
