Physicians have been utilizing conventional ultrasound, also known as b-mode ultrasound, for diagnostic imaging since the 1970s. However, over the past 10 years there have been significant technological improvements within the equipment, as well as development of new technologies that allowed ultrasound to become more widely adopted. Ultrasound equipment has gotten physically smaller, generates less heat and has become more power efficient. These upgrades, along with vast enhancements in image quality, have pushed ultrasound into the point-of-care setting. Point-of-care ultrasound has become widely performed in emergency rooms, PCP offices and obstetric practices. As healthcare reform continues to favor the use of more cost-effective solutions, this trend is expected to persist until ultrasound is used in every doctor’s office.

Providing effective care for obese patients and minimizing sonographer stress were key requirements when Community Hospital Anderson, an award-winning 207 bed acute care hospital serving Madison County, Ind., was evaluating new ultrasound systems for purchase.
“We have a number of obese patients,” said Beth Tharp, president and CEO of Community Anderson. “So our search for new ultrasound equipment focused on top of the line technology that could effectively image all the varied patients we serve.”
Community Anderson’s list of evaluation criteria was typical in that it included image quality, technology, ergonomics, and vendor support. But the evaluation team added another crucial requirement — the ability to effectively image at depth.

Metal implants have often been problematic for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), leaving a “burned out” area around hardware that makes visualization of surrounding anatomy nearly impossible. Esaote has addressed this with a Metal Artifact Reduction (MAR) sequence that reduces metal-induced MRI artifacts and allows physicians to visualize tissue close to the hardware for a more complete diagnosis.

More than 54 companies will display their latest products and services at the American Society of Echocardiography’s (ASE) 24th Annual Scientific Sessions, planned for June 29-July 2 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minn. This year, the conference theme is “a disease-based focus on the role of echocardiography in diagnosis and guiding therapy”.

For many patients, diagnosing their back, hip or knee pain is best accomplished by imaging anatomy in a weight-bearing, or standing, position. At the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons in Chicago, Esaote introduces the new G-scan Brio with eXP technology to give physicians a cost-effective tool for performing both traditional and weight-bearing musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams.
March 25, 2013 Esaote launched its next generation imaging technology for dedicated MRI and ultrasound. The eHD for ultrasound and eXP technology for dedicated MRI represent step-change innovations in the accuracy, quality, speed and flexibility of imaging technology.
