Siemens Radiology Ultra Sound
Ensemble Tissue Harmonic Imaging
new model
|
Siemens Ultrasound's proprietary
Ensemble™ Tissue Harmonic Imaging technology improves tissue contrast and spatial
resolution in radiological applications. By processing signal information from the entire
wideband harmonic spectrum, this innovation provides exceptional image clarity without the
use of contrast agents. *
|
The technology -- which is based upon
Siemens Ultrasound's powerful supercomputer, the Crescendo™ MultiDimensional Image
Processor -- is expected to measurably improve ultrasound images in all patients, but
especially in hard-to-image patients. Ensemble Tissue Harmonic Imaging will benefit:
- Overweight patients;
- Elderly patients;
- Patients with dense muscle structure; and
- People who are recovering from surgery or radiation therapy.
In these cases, physicians have typically ordered additional expensive diagnostic
studies, or relied upon low-resolution scans, which made diagnosis more difficult.
Ensemble Tissue Harmonic Imaging will enable physicians to obtain significantly better
ultrasound images, and possibly reduce extraneous diagnostic tests. |

Ensemble Tissue Harmonic Imaging takes advantage of the five imaging frequencies available
on the SONOLINE® Elegra system. This gives users the flexibility to adjust
transmit frequencies to best demonstrate the area of interest. It is the only
tissue harmonic imaging system that supports high-frequency imaging, for
exceptional demonstration of breast lesions and superficial images. |
