SuperSonic Imagine to Present Newly Upgraded Aixplorer(R) Ultrasound Platform at RSNA 2016

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Nov 22, 2016) - SuperSonic Imagine (EURONEXT PARIS: SSI) (FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, today announced that it will feature the new version of Aixplorer® at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting at McCormick Place, Chicago, November 27 to December 2. The newly released upgrade to Aixplorer, which was recently FDA approved, has the only UltraFast™ ultrasound system, enhanced performance, workflow and efficiency, while providing both impeccable image quality and unprecedented ultrasound innovations. Attendees are invited to visit SuperSonic Imagine's booth #8133 at North Hall B during the RSNA Annual Meeting.

"We are excited to introduce attendees to Aixplorer's new capabilities such as the new TriVu real-time simultaneous mode with B-mode, ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™) and color flow imaging, an exclusive feature that combines anatomical imaging with functional imaging," said Jacques Souquet, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of SuperSonic Imagine. "We are also proud to report that 16 abstracts from clinical research studies using SuperSonic Imagine's technology will be presented throughout the conference. It includes for the first time the presentation of the results of the BE3 Breast Multicenter Study* conducted in China and launched two years ago."

Aixplorer's latest version demonstrates advancements in several respects. The new comprehensive breast package, a combination of new probes designed especially for breast imaging resulting in a substantially improved B-mode image quality and three essential innovations to aid visualization: SWE to improve ultrasound specificity, 3D Ultrasound for a color-coded map of tissue stiffness, and the unique TriVu mode combining breast anatomy, flow information and tissue stiffness in a single acquisition.

Aixplorer upgrade allows physicians to now use the Angio PL.U.S. - PLanewave UltraSensitive™ Imaging, feature for abdominal, vascular and gynecologic applications, in addition to its original uses for breast, thyroid and musculoskeletal imaging. Angio PL.U.S. Doppler has advanced color sensitivity and spatial resolution as well as exceptional 2D imaging. The upgraded new research package helps physicians perform pre-clinical or clinical research with exclusive modes such as SWE.
