SuperSonic Imagine to Feature its Non-Invasive, 60-Second Liver Exam at The Liver Meeting 2016

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Nov 10, 2016) - SuperSonic Imagine (EURONEXT PARIS: SSI) (FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, announced today that it will feature Aixplorer with real-time ShearWave Elastography (SWE™) at The Liver Meeting 2016 November 11 - 15 in Boston. The Company will be exhibiting in conjunction with Sandhill Scientific, Inc., their exclusive distributor in the United States for providing the Aixplorer® ultrasound system to Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists. Attendees of this meeting, held by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), will have the opportunity to learn more about SWE's value to patients with chronic liver disease.

Real-time ShearWave Elastography (SWE), available only on the Aixplorer ultrasound system, is a 60-second non-invasive exam that can be used for imaging patients with chronic liver disease. SWE offers the advantage of a real-time image of liver anatomy, while also providing a color coded map and quantitative measurement of liver stiffness, making it an important parameter to enhance liver diagnostics. About 100 international publications have demonstrated the reliability and effectiveness of SuperSonic Imagine's SWE in this area. In addition, eight abstracts accepted by AASLD reporting results from clinical research studies using SuperSonic's imagine's technology will be presented as posters during the meeting:
