Premium ultrasound
must keep advancing
Healthcare organizations are continually being challenged
to provide a higher quality of care cost-effectively. Premium
ultrasound today demands improved clinical information from
each scan, faster and more consistent exams that are easier
to perform, and a higher level of confidence, even for technically
difficult patients. The goal is quick and accurate diagnosis
the first time and in less time.

MicroFlow Imaging offers remarkable
detail in assessing blood flow
MicroFlow Imaging is designed to detect slow and weak blood flow anatomy
in tissue. This proprietary approach overcomes many of the barriers associated
with conventional methods to detect small vessel blood flow with high
resolution and minimal artifacts.
MicroFlow Imaging maintains high frame rate and 2D image quality while
applying advanced artifact reduction techniques to reveal small vessel anatomy.

Simplify the difficult
The power of PureWave for exceptional imaging even
on technically difficult patients
PureWave crystal technology represents the biggest breakthrough in piezoelectric transducer
material in 40 years. The pure, uniform crystals of PureWave have virtually perfect uniformity
for greater bandwidth and twice the efficiency of conventional ceramic materials.
PureWave crystal technology is 85% more efficient than conventional piezoelectric material,
resulting in exceptional clinical performance. This technology allows for improved penetration
in difficult patients with a single transducer while maintaining excellent detail resolution, superb
Doppler sensitivity and exceptional shear wave elastography performance.
EPIQ Elite
features a full range
of PureWave transducers.
