‘SonoAce X8 embraces the optimum configuration of hard- and software by using Smart S/W protocol. The equipment not only adapts all the premium functions of existing equipment, e.g. Live 3D, 3DXI, and Full Cardiology Package, but also realizes optimum image performance with Dynamic MR, Full Spectrum Imaging, and SCI (Spatial Compound Imaging).’

The system also can be upgraded in simple steps through a new in-built protocol and  the company adds that the upgraded speed of operation contributes to optimised patient throughput.
Compared with existing ultrasound machines, more accurate and compact data measurements, along with a better reporting function, are promised.

Using a single 17 inch LCD monitor, the system monitors both a patient’s scan and data analysis in real time.

The system generates high picture quality, 1280 x 1024, by using and tracing the best image size for the monitor – the first trial of such a technique in this field, Medison reports.

SonoAce X8 will become commercially available in the first six months of 2007. It is now on show at MEDICA (SONOACE booth: Hall 9, B60) – and later will be at the RSNA in Chicago (later in November).
