Aixplorer® – Innovative UltraFast™ Ultrasound Imaging

SuperSonic Imagine’s Aixplorer® is a revolutionary ultrasound system with an UltraFast™ platform that can acquire images 200 times faster than conventional ultrasound systems. In addition to providing exceptional image quality, this unique technology is the foundation for several innovations which have changed the paradigm of ultrasound imaging: Real-time ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™), Angio PL.U.S. – PLanewave UltraSensitive™ imaging, and more recently TriVu: real-time simultaneous B, SWE and Color+ imaging.

The only Real-time ShearWave™ Elastography

Real-time ShearWave Elastography, pioneered by SuperSonic Imagine, allows physicians to visualize and quantify the stiffness of tissue in a real-time, reliable, and reproducible manner. Tissue stiffness has become an important parameter in diagnosing potentially malignant tissue or other diseased tissue.  Almost 400 peer-reviewed publications have demonstrated the value of SWE for the clinical management of patients in a wide range of diseases.

Exceptional Image Quality

B-mode is THE essential diagnostic mode in ultrasound. SuperSonic Imagine’s UltraFast™ software technology provides a high quality, homogeneous and information-rich image for a wide variety of clinical situations. Also, thanks to Tissue Tuner™ technology, the speed of the ultrasound can be adapted for multiple organs and is well suited for a variety of clinical situations.

The Innovation Continues

Aixplorer’s UltraFast™ platform opens the way to important clinical innovations:

• Angio PL.U.S. – PLanewave UltraSensitive™ imaging, provides a new level of microvascular imaging through significantly improved color sensitivity and spatial resolution while maintaining exceptional 2D imaging.
• TriVu: Aixplorer is now the only ultrasound system that offers TriVu, a real-time simultaneous imaging mode that combines B-mode, SWE™ and enhanced color imaging. This allows physicians to visualize anatomy, tissue stiffness and blood flow simultaneously.

Real-Time ShearWave™ Elastography

Real-time ShearWave Elastography, pioneered by SuperSonic Imagine, allows physicians to visualize and quantify the stiffness of tissue in a real-time, reliable, and reproducible manner. Tissue stiffness has become an important parameter in diagnosing potentially malignant tissue or other diseased tissue.  Over 400 peer-reviewed publications have demonstrated the value of SWE for the clinical management of patients in a wide range of diseases.

Angio PL.U.S. – PLanewave UltraSensitive™ imaging

Angio PL.U.S. provides a new level of microvascular imaging through significantly improved color sensitivity and spatial resolution while maintaining exceptional 2D imaging. Angio PL.U.S. leverages the combination of ultrafast imaging and 3D wall filtering to create a leap in ultrasound Doppler imaging performance. Thanks to its ability to detect microvascularization in different types of lesions this new mode could open the door to added clinical information and diagnostic perspectives, in both benign and malignant lesions.

TriVu

Aixplorer is now the only ultrasound system that offers TriVu, a cutting edge real-time simultaneous imaging mode never seen before. TriVu combines B-mode, SWE™ and Color+ imaging, allowing physicians to visualize anatomy, tissue stiffness, and blood flow in the breast tissue concurrently.  This unique mode also allows clinicians access to vascularization-guided measurement of tissue stiffness.

UltraFast™ Doppler

UltraFast Doppler combines Color Flow Imaging and Pulsed Wave Doppler into one simple exam, providing physicians with exam results simultaneously and helping to increase patient throughput.

Fusion Imaging and Volume Navigation combines real-time ultrasound modes with the benefits of other volumetric imaging datasets such as CT, MR, PET and 3D US.

Exclusive modes like real-time ShearWave™Elastography, Angio PL.U.S. and TriVu. It also allows 3D US acquisitions using conventional 2D probes.

Confident Needle Guidance

• The fully integrated user interface is intuitive and helps to easily achieve the most challenging procedure.
• The Assisted Needle Navigationprovides real-time 3D needle localization to precisely guide the user to the target.
• Virtual Mode offers the user with an augmented reality of his gestures.
• Motion detection, correction algorithm and respiratory trace further secure the interventional procedure.

Maximize Diagnostic Information and treatment efficiency with Fusion Imaging

• Benefit of the advantages of several imaging modalities, including the exclusive innovations by SuperSonic Imagine.
• Fusion imaging includes full capability on linear, curved and endocavity 3D probes.
• Manual & automatic registrationmethods allow a successful achievement of image fusion within seconds.

3 Types of RF Data Acquisition

With SonicResearch™, instantly transform your Aixplorer® MultiWave™ Ultrasound System into a research workstation.

Designed to meet the needs of researchers, the SonicResearch interface allows access to advanced system parameters for image optimization and raw radio frequency (RF) data acquisition at different stages of image formation.

• 2D B-mode: In contrast to conventional research options, SonicResearch enables the unique acquisition of true raw RF data before the processing stage of beam formation. This feature allows storage of the acoustic signals directly received by the transducer elements. In addition, the storage of post beamforming signals is also possible.
• 3D B-Mode.
• UltraFast™ Clips: SonicResearch enables UltraFast clip acquisition (several thousand images per second). Received data allows the reconstruction of grey scale images, the analysis of rapid tissue movement (Doppler mode) and the development of new research applications such as elastography.
