2018: The announcement of an ultrasonography system on the basis of the PureWave eL18-4 sensor
On October 25, 2018 the Philips Healthcare company released a complex for ultrasonic visualization of a breast which combines the latest hardware and the software. The project is intended for screening of diseases of a mammary gland and can be installed on ultrasonic scanners of Epiq and Affiniti company.
The complex integrated in itself ultrabroadband the ultrasonic sensor for linear scanning of PureWave eL18-4 and the automated software which representatives of Philips Healthcare call "anatomic intelligence". The complex of solutions provides carrying out expanded visualization, an elastografiya, screening and a biopsy, but also, this first specialized offer of Philips for ultrasound examination of a breast.
Noted Philips that are often used by ultrasonography as the additional method when results of mammography cannot be interpreted unambiguously, for example, at women with dense tissues of a mammary gland. The new complex is intended for optimization of ultrasound examinations of a breast at a screening stage.
The solution component called by "anatomic intelligence" should increase reproducibility of results of ultrasound examinations of a mammary gland by optimization of workflow with preserving of a high image quality. He provides visual mapping and allows to study the anatomic structure of a mammary gland during screening, minimum influencing the patient.
Among new technologies of a complex it is possible to note the visualization ElastQ Imaging protocols for an elastografiya of a shift wave and a compression elastografiya which allow clinical physicians to estimate a broad spectrum of damages of a mammary gland. Thanks to the integrated opportunities of both techniques, ElastQ Imaging can give more detailed information on dense tissue of a mammary gland.[1]
