Ultrasonix Medical Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of high quality diagnostic ultrasound imaging systems, has announced that it will showcase two new SonixTOUCH products at the Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in Chicago, November 30 - December 4, 2008.

 

If the name of this company rings a bell with the people in the medical industry, it is so because it created the world's first truly adaptable Ultrasound Imaging System. With the occasion of the RSNA annual meeting in Chicago this year, the company has also announced the launching of two new products, the SonixTOUCH Breast Imaging System and the SonixTOUCH Mobile Radiology system.

 

SonixTOUCH is a compact, portable diagnostic ultrasound system developed around the OpenSONIX platform. It is capable of generating premium-level image quality. This system is touchscreen-driven, allowing for a reconfigurable user interface. SonixTOUCH can be configured for virtually any ultrasound application and work flow, making it the world's first market-adaptable ultrasound system.

 

The SonixTOUCH Breast Imaging system features advanced imaging modes, an intuitive user interface and seamless connectivity with some key advantages, such as 3rd generation OpenSONIX platform with Premium Image Quality for Breast Imaging, featuring true Spatial Compound Imaging, Pulse Inversion Harmonics and Elastography imaging modes, intuitive touchscreen interface that only shows the controls needed for a particular application or biopsy procedure, integrated tutorials and Narrow and wide Linear transducers, plus a Hockey stick broadband transducer for outstanding small parts imaging.

 

The SonixTOUCH Mobile Radiology, the second novelty from the company, also comes with 3rd generation OpenSONIX platform, as well as wireless and Ethernet DICOM connectivity (the system can perform a study in a remote location and, when connected to the network, either wirelessly or by Ethernet cable, it automatically pushes the images to the DICOM PACS). Moreover, this device sports true mobility, with a small, lightweight system and battery that powers the entire system and peripherals for up to 1.5 hours.
