Portable Ultrasound Augments Clinical Diagnostic Value

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 09 Oct 2015

A novel portable ultrasound device is intended for use in environments where larger ultrasounds can be impractical, such as air ambulances, mobile clinics, and field work.

The Fujifilm SonoSite iViz provides clinicians with the ability to perform ultrasound at the point of care, integrating with medical information technology (IT) to seamlessly access patient vitals, send online applications, and serve as a learning resource. More...

It also integrates with hospital information systems (HIS) and electronic medical record (EMR) systems to obtain patient demographics and submit reports, and connects securely with cloud services for sharing studies with remote providers for real-time assessments.

The lightweight device features a high resolution seven-inch display touchscreen, a wide dynamic range over a large viewing angle with vibrant color flow images, Wi-Fi capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, and interface ports for USB, HDMI, and audio. In addition to high resolution (HD) two dimensional (2D) imaging, the system also supports M-Mode and Color Velocity Doppler. The iViz, a product of Fujifilm SonoSite (Bothell, WA, USA) is available with a P21v phased array 5-MHz transducer, and features proprietary SonoHD2 Imaging and SonoADAPT Tissue Optimization software technologies.

“Fujifilm SonoSite delivers a powerful and valuable solution to the market with the launch of iViz. It is a revolutionary tool that reaches new levels of mobility, image performance, and connectivity,” said Masayuki Higuchi, president and CEO of Fujifilm SonoSite. “Clinicians will now have access to technology that can be used on-the move, in-the-field or on-the ground.”

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
