Siemens Healthcare launched ACUSON X700 at IRIA 2013, India’s largest radiology exhibition and conference. Siemens has introduced the ACUSON X700 ultrasound system boasts of advanced features and technologies so that mid-range hospitals and diagnostic centres can provide the same facilities like the hi-end healthcare providers.
ACUSON X700 claims to be a powerful system that offers exceptional image quality, robust technologies and intelligent workflow solutions at an excellent price/performance ratio. It comes with the tissue contrast enhancement (TCE) technology that improves borders and reduces speckle/ noise, facilitating subtle tissue differentiation, thus allowing faster examination with accurate diagnosis.
Another feature is, tissue grayscale optimisation (TGO) technology that provides instantaneous, one-button image optimisation by automatically adjusting the image brightness to the tissue type being imaged. The ACUSON X700 system reportedly also features intelligent workflow solutions that support workflow, ensure exam consistency and enable high patient throughput required by various clinical departments. Moreover, the system features a new design for improved usability, including a 20-inch LED display.
Another first is Direct Link (DL) Connectors and Siemens’ patented MicroPinless (MP) connectors that have been incorporated in this system allowing the user to use hi-end transducers for better diagnosis. MP connectors also offer the high signal fidelity and improve the signal-to-noise ratio to enhance signal quality. An integrated handle with articulating arm enables the user to easily position the monitor for comfortable viewing.
The ACUSON X700 system claims to offer many features and options to accommodate a broad range of applications and clinical environments. For instance, 3-Scape real-time 3D imaging and Advanced fourSight technology support 3D/4D imaging for fetal, abdominal, and gynecological examinations. Advanced cardiac imaging applications like intracardiac echocardiography imaging support physicians during procedure visualisation and device placement monitoring are also a part of the ultrasound device.
Ashis Dey, Business Head-Ultrasound, Siemens Healthcare says, “Siemens is an innovation leader and has always introduced innovative healthcare solutions for healthy future. With ACUSON X700, we are targeting the mid-range customers, who will be able to experience hi-end performance for faster diagnosis and better patient care.”
