SuperSonic Imagine to Feature Upgraded Aixplorer(R) Ultrasound Platform at the 2017 European Congress of Radiology

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE--(Marketwired - Feb 28, 2017) - SuperSonic Imagine (EURONEXT PARIS: SSI) (FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, today announced that it will feature Aixplorer®'s latest advances at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) March 1 - 5, in Vienna, Austria. The upgrade to Aixplorer is the only UltraFast™ ultrasound system, with enhanced performance, improved workflow and diagnostic efficiency, while providing both impeccable image quality and unprecedented ultrasound innovations. SuperSonic Imagine will demonstrate live on the show floor its new innovative modes (booth #3 in Hall X5).

"Meeting with colleagues from across Europe, we are excited to share the Aixplorer's new capabilities, especially the exclusive TriVu real-time simultaneous mode, which combines anatomical and functional imaging in one single acquisition," said Jacques Souquet, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of SuperSonic Imagine. "We are also proud to show our new fusion and navigation mode. We received very positive feedback from the first users who specially appreciated its intuitive and simplistic user-interface as well as the exclusive innovative modes also available while in fusion imaging mode."

Aixplorer's latest version demonstrates advancements in several respects. The new comprehensive breast package is a combination of new probes designed especially for breast imaging, resulting in a significantly improved B-mode image quality. Three essential innovations aid visualization: SWE to improve diagnostic specificity, 3D Ultrasound for improved visualization of tissue stiffness, and the unique TriVu mode combining breast anatomy, flow information and tissue stiffness in a single acquisition. Planned demonstrations include Aixplorer's new Fusion, Navigation & Needle Guidance technology, which enable users to fuse real-time ultrasound images with magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography and 3D ultrasound, as well as with other exclusive Aixplorer modes such as SWE, Angio PL.U.S. or TriVu. This combined visualization is designed to leverage the simultaneous real-time benefits of multiple modalities for exams in complex cases, as well as for interventional imaging such as biopsy guidance or for therapy such as RF ablation.
