SuperSonic Imagine Highlights the Clinical Benefits of Real-Time ShearWave(TM) Elastography in the Middle East - Seite 2

SuperSonic Imagine will also showcase its new solution for microvascular visualization, Angio PL.U.S. - Planewave UltraSensitive™ imaging. Angio PL.U.S. provides a new level of microvascular imaging through significantly improved color flow sensitivity and spatial resolution. This information is instrumental in helping the diagnosis of cancerous tissues in areas such as breast, liver, lymph nodes and thyroid as well as in musculoskeletal pathologies.

"Physicians in the Middle East are very open to new technological innovations. Aixplorer is being used today in several hospitals in the region, and these clinicians clearly appreciate the benefits of Aixplorer in their daily work and its ability to help characterize tissue stiffness in real time and improve biopsy guidance, and in many reduce the number of negative biopsies," said Kurt Kelln, SuperSonic Imagine's Chief Business Officer.

SuperSonic Imagine will be exhibiting at booth S1.G57 and will be hosting live demonstrations at the booth throughout the meeting.
