Breast Care Solutions: Acuson S2000 Automated Breast Volume Scanner
The Acuson S2000 Automated Breast Volume Scanner (ABVS) system automatically and quickly acquires full-field sonographic volumes for comprehensive review and diagnosis of the breast streamlining workflow and reducing operator dependence and variability.
The system also features the intuitive, anatomical coronal plane not available using conventional ultrasound. This view provides a more understandable representation of the global anatomy and architecture of the breast. Semi-automated reporting and comprehensive BI-RADS reporting capabilities further enhance the clinical workflow.
The Acuson S2000 ABVS system has an innovative, mobile in-suite design, combining the
advanced Acuson S2000 ultrasound system with a transducer specifically designed for automated ultrasound breast volume imaging. To further optimize high-volume patient care, the system also supports innovative breast imaging applications, such as fatty tissue and eSie Touch elasticity imaging.
The system allows automated, operator-independent and fast full-field breast scans and thus increases the early detection rate for breast cancer – even in women with dense breast tissue. 3D volume images provide information on the entire breast, including the coronal plane, not available with conventional ultrasound. In addition, Acuson S2000 ABVS offers all conventional hand-held ultrasound options such as biopsies, colour Doppler and elastography with eSieTouch. This multi-purpose system is the perfect mammography solution. Its wide range of functionalities greatly enhances workflow: complex examinations which took 45 minutes with hand-held ultrasound are now completed within ten minutes. The technology is ideally suited for mammography as well as for breast cancer follow-up.
