Unique Anatomical Coronal View
The ACUSON S2000 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(R) reporting capabilities further enhance the clinical workflow.
The ACUSON S2000 ABVS has an innovative, mobile in-suite design combining the advanced ACUSON S2000(TM) 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(TM) elasticity imaging.
Increased Diagnostic Information for Liver Disease and Other Organs
The world's first commercially available implementations of Acoustic Radiation Force Imaging (ARFI), Virtual Touch(TM) Tissue Imaging(5) and Virtual Touch Tissue Quantification(6) premiere on the ACUSON S2000 ultrasound system. Similar to a physical palpation exam, these leading-edge technologies represent a new dimension of diagnostic information by interrogating the mechanical strain properties or stiffness of tissue, which may be correlated with pathology.
"Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging adds an independent parameter to our existing morphological diagnostic process," said Professor William Lees, MD, of the University College London Hospital (UCLH), United Kingdom, who has worked with the technology for over a year now. "The more param
