A partnership between a manufacturer of endoscopic ultrasound imaging scopes and a major imaging vendor has announced a new ultrasound endoscopic platform.

The platform uses new ultrasound signal acquisition and detection technologies, and improved signal processing, to provide high-resolution anatomical detail, image quality and display, and was announced at the United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW), October 24–28, 2015, in Barcelona (Spain).

The ARIETTA Endoscopic ultrasound platform was developed by Hitachi Medical Systems Europe (Zug, Switzerland) and Pentax Medical (Tokyo, Japan). Hitachi Medical also manufactures high-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems, multi-slice Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, and medical ultrasound systems. Hitachi Medical ultrasound expertise includes applications for radiology, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, internal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, and surgery. The ARIETTA platform uses the Pentax EUS ultrasound scopes which are part of an extensive range of user-specific ultrasound transducers that Pentax Medical produces.

The ARIETTA platform uses flexible advanced algorithms to enable precision control of the ultrasound beam, and achieve the highest possible spatial resolution. The ultrasound-specific digital signal processors use advanced data processing techniques, and support a wide range of applications. The platform uses IPS-Pro LCD monitors, and highly sensitive CE-EUS scopes, and can provide Real-time Tissue Elastography (RTE), and contrast enhanced ultrasound images. The High Tissue Reduction Mode—TrC (Amplitude Modulation) provides highly sensitive contrast, depth penetration, reduction in movement artifacts, and uniform near field, and far field imaging.
