SuperSonic Imagine's Advanced Ultrasound Technology Adopted by Sports Medicine Professionals - Seite 2

In addition to superb image quality and the use of SWE for tissue stiffness evaluation, Aixplorer also provides an exclusive new imaging mode, Angio PL.U.S. (PLanewave UltraSensitive™ imaging) which significantly improves color Doppler sensitivity and spatial resolution, resulting in the next level of microvascular imaging to visualize flows that couldn't be seen before. Through this new technique, sports doctors can now easily identify low-grade tendon or muscle inflammation.

"Sports doctors need to be able to continuously monitor athletes' injuries from initial diagnosis through to recovery. If players return to workouts too quickly, the injuries could become more serious and permanent," said Jacques Souquet, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer. "Having the most advanced tools at hand is key for enabling clinicians to know when it is time to change the course of treatment and when it is safe for athletes to return to their active careers. We are proud to provide such tools for athletic organizations across Europe."

About SuperSonic Imagine

Founded in 2005 and based in Aix-en-Provence (France), SuperSonic Imagine is a company specializing in medical imaging. The company designs, develops and markets a revolutionary ultrasound system, Aixplorer®, with an UltraFast™ platform that can acquire images 200 times faster than conventional ultrasound systems. Aixplorer is the only system that can image two types of waves: ultrasound waves ensure excellent image quality and shear waves, which allow physicians to visualize and analyze the stiffness of tissue in a real-time, reliable, reproducible and non-invasive manner. This innovation, ShearWave™ Elastography, significantly improves the detection and characterization of numerous pathologies in several applications including breast, thyroid, liver and prostate. SuperSonic Imagine has been granted regulatory clearances for the commercialization of Aixplorer in the main global markets. Over the past years, SuperSonic Imagine enjoyed the backing of several prestigious investors, among which Auriga Partners, Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners, Bpifrance, Omnes Capital and NBGI.
