New Quantum Technology Offers Exceptional Image Quality; Streamlines Workflow
PEABODY, Mass., 2012-02-22 20:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and
aviation security technology, today announced that it will showcase for the
first time its new Flex Focus(tm) 500, Flex Focus 800, and Pro Focus(tm) UltraView
800 BK Medical ultrasound systems at the 27th annual European Association of
Urology (EAU) Congress in Paris. The new BK Medical ultrasound systems
incorporate the groundbreaking Quantum(tm) Technology, offering significant new
features and advancements to improve the practice of medicine. The new
ultrasound systems with Quantum Technology were publicly announced worldwide to
customers last month.
'The new BK Medical ultrasound solutions provide clinicians a faster and easier
way to maximize ultrasound performance, specifically in urology and renal
imaging,' said Lars Shaw, vice president of global marketing at Analogic. 'The
superb imaging performance and dramatic increase in 2D and color Doppler
capabilities, coupled with the productivity enhancements built into the new
Quantum Technology, are examples of our dedication and promise to provide
leading-edge ultrasound systems.
'We can now offer our customers excellent 2D imaging to visualize kidney
anatomy out to the pyramids and capsule. With the Quantum Technology release,
our sensitive color Doppler routinely visualizes blood flow out to the arcuate
arteries,' continued Shaw.
Quantum Technology offers image quality enhancements including improved
contrast resolution, as well as new gray scale maps and new image pre-sets,
making it easier and quicker to obtain the highest quality images. In addition,
the new technology includes a unique Vector Flow Imaging (VFI) mode*, enabling
angle independent visualization of blood flow, and an advanced color Doppler
mode, enabling superb spatial resolution. Key benefits also include advanced
harmonic imaging when imaging all patient types, even the extremely
difficult-to-image patient.
Analogic's three new ultrasound systems complement BK Medical's extensive
product portfolio. The Flex Focus 800 and UltraView 800 are premium
performance, highly efficient new systems that incorporate Quantum Technology.
Compatible with all of BK Medical's transducers, the fully featured, premium
performance systems are ideally suited for surgery, including robotic-assisted
surgery, high-end urology, and general imaging. The UltraView 800 system also
has contrast imaging capabilities**, and both the Flex Focus 800 and UltraView
800 systems have a HistoScanning*** ready option. The Flex Focus 500 is the
mid-range system in the BK Medical family incorporating Quantum Technology.
This portable system is powerful and well suited for a busy practice utilizing
ultrasound for urology and general imaging needs. All of the new systems also
have VFI* as an option. The full BK Medical product portfolio includes the Flex
Focus 200, 200 Surgery, 400 Anesthesia, 700, and the Pro Focus UltraView.
To see a live demonstration of the three new ultrasound systems with Quantum
Technology, please visit the BK Medical booth #2M34 during the EAU Congress,
February 24-28, 2012.
