Advanced Ultrasound Technology Distributed for Public Healthcare in Russia

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 02 May 2011
One of the most technologically advanced ultrasound systems available has been installed throughout Russia.

Under a public program from the Russian Ministry of Health (MOH; Moscow), 26 hospitals throughout the Russian Federation acquired SuperSonicImagine's (Aix-en-Provence, France) Aixplorer multiwave ultrasound system.

The public program called Viral Hepatitis is part of a National Project, financed by the Russian Ministry of Health and started in 2007, named "Prevention and Struggle with Socially Significant Diseases." Heinemann Medizintechnik in Moscow, the exclusive distribution partner for SuperSonic Imagine for the Russian Federation, was awarded this pubic tender for the Aixplorer systems at the end of 2010.

Twenty-six hospitals across the Federation from Sakhalin to Murmansk city were equipped with the Aixplorer because of its exceptional B-mode image quality and its unique technology, ShearWaveElastography, in which tissue stiffness can be measured in kilopascals in a user-skill independent and reproducible manner. Tissue stiffness is an additional parameter that characterizes tissue and can be a valuable indicator of pathology. The Aixplorer, which has a worldwide installed base, provides clinicians significantly enhanced diagnostic data.
