Imaging processing: Esaote offers a wide range of technologies for image enhancement. With TEI™, the harmonic signal is fully preserved without degradation of acoustic information. MView and XView improve the quality of ultrasound images by reducing the presence of artifacts, background noise and superposition.
CnTI™ - Contrast-adjusted imaging for contrast-enhanced procedures: CnTI™, Esaote's revolutionary technology combined with the latest generation of ultrasound contrast agents, provides impressive clinical results due to the extremely precise detection of microbubbles. The very low applied acoustic pressure increases the bubble lifetime, for a clear identification of the arterial and late phase. The very high sensitivity of the probes and the low level of noise and artifacts allow precise diagnostics, both for the detection and characterization of lesions. A dedicated quantification tool for contrast is also available.
HD CFM and XFlow - Extraordinary flow sensitivity and spatial resolution: The resolution and sensitivity of the Color Doppler mode are of great importance for the assessment of blood flow, especially when the velocity and dimension of the flow are limited. HD CFM technology helps the user to define the right setting that will allow him to obtain the maximum clinical information. In case of special diagnostic processes in which morphological information is more important than the hemodynamics itself, XFlow produces images of great clarity with few artifacts, and less dependence on the insonation angle.
High Frequency Imaging: Esaote’s historical leadership in high frequency imaging ensures an unexpected level of detail in applications where superficial images are required. The 22 MHz transducers, the XView, MView, ElaXto and X4D applications, as well as the “A Universe under the mm” software package are just a few examples of the technological potential of the MyLab™Class C system. The clinical results are simply astonishing, opening new fields of research and taking diagnosis to another level. Cutting-edge technologies such as ElaXto and X4D are implemented not as additional qualitative information, but as an important quantitative suite to produce an objective and rapid diagnosis.
X4D Technology: The advanced 3D/4D software package benefits from the innovations made to the conventional visualization of 2D ultrasound images through sophisticated algorithms and is capable of producing exceptional 3D/4D volume reconstructions. Length, area, perimeter, diameter and angle measurements as well as volume areas in a multidimensional display allow for quantitative analysis and qualitative acquisition, combined with a special database that allows archiving all personal data sets.
RFQIMT - RF-based qualitative measurement of intima media thickness for early detection of cardiovascular diseases: RFQIMT technology aims to measure the thickness of a blood vessel in the area of ​​the carotid artery selected for examination. Its ease of use combined with real-time qualitative feedback helps the operator to obtain accurate and reproducible results. The measurements (even if taken at different times during the examination) can be plotted in a standardized graph displayed with reading indicators that helps physicians to establish their diagnoses and therapeutic procedures.
RFQAS - Qualitative measurement of arterial stiffness for early detection of cardiovascular diseases: RFQAS technology aims to measure the stiffness of a blood vessel in the area of ​​the carotid artery selected for examination. The stiffness of the blood vessel wall is expressed by brachial blood pressure and accurate measurement of the diameter and its changes. Local blood pressure at the site of ultrasound measurements is also recorded. Local blood pressure and stiffness are derived as quantitative results based on sophisticated clinical studies.
Automatic measurement and adjustment: Quantification of the Doppler profile is absolutely an important issue in cardiology as well as in vascular ultrasound examinations. Once the volume of interest has been determined and the Doppler trace is displayed on the monitor, the user can select real-time evaluation of all essential clinical parameters by activating the ADM function. Using the image freeze mode of your choice, you can also trace the Doppler contour and automatically record the maximum, average and minimum values. Features such as EF (Ejection Fraction) calculation and ADM (automatic measurement) provide quantification of the most important clinical parameters in a very short time. This allows for faster screening and accurate patient management in cases of potential disorders that can then be investigated further.
CFI (Coronary Flow Imaging) - Coronary flow imaging for assessment of coronary artery blood flow and its main characteristics: The assessment of coronary blood flow characteristics is also meaningful with respect to basic cardiac activity without any external cardiac induction stress. If a CFI Color Doppler preset is activated, the signal from the coronary artery blood flow is optimized with respect to many components of the concomitant blood flow velocity present in the atria and ventricles of the heart. The combination of the Cardiac iQ-probe and the CFI (Coronary Flow Imaging) preset provides superior performance in CFM/PW modes for detection and measurement of coronary flows.
XStrain™: XStrain™ is a non-invasive tool that allows for better exploration of myocardial function and quantification of aspects of cardiac physiology that were not possible to detect and quantify with previous ultrasound technologies. Myocardial velocity, myocardial overload and overload rate enable early detection of cardiac function failures (assessed as ejection fraction or stroke volume). Based on angle-independent technology, XStrain™ allows assessment of both left and right ventricular contractility. XStrain™ is an innovative tool for mechanical assessment of cardiac wall motion. It can therefore provide quantitative support to standard ultrasound examinations and be used to examine and monitor patients, in order to identify early signs of changes in cardiac wall motility.
Advanced Virtual Navigator tool for Fusion imaging (US and CT/MR/PET-CT): the Virtual Navigator tool with Fusion imaging applied to ultrasound enhances the information produced by an ultrasound scanner thanks to the combination with a second imaging modality (CT, MR, PET or 3D US) in real time, thus offering all the advantages of different modalities in the same examination.
Virtual Biopsy - Advanced biopsy also in very complex approaches: the Virtual Biopsy function allows to follow a percutaneous procedure by superimposing the needle tracking information on the ultrasound image in real time.
