Laptop-Style Portable Ultrasound System to Be Introduced at RSNA 2015

Images on the screen can be viewed from all angles, which can reduce eye strain. The system is quiet with reduced cooling fan noise, and is ready to begin scanning in less than 45 seconds.

The E-CUBE i7 was developed by ALPINION Medical Systems (Seoul, Korea). The E-CUBE i7 uses single-crystal piezoelectric transducer technology instead of standard lead zirconate titanate (PZT) technology to provide improved image quality and detail, higher sensitivity, improved penetration, and less heat degradation. The single crystal phased-array transducers (SP1-5T, SP3-8T) support adult echo, pediatric echo, pediatric abdomen scans, and enhanced penetration in patients. The hockey stick-shaped IO8-17T transducer can be used for difficult-to-access locations, and is intended for imaging vascular, nerve block and superficial procedure. The IO8-17T is a high-frequency linear transducer with a small footprint, and good near-field resolution that can provide detailed anatomical information.

The E-CUBE i7 features advanced Spatial Compounding Imaging (SCI), Harmonic Imaging (FTHI/PITHI), Speckle Reduction Imaging (SRI/FullSRI), and Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) imaging technologies, and uses ALPINION needle vision, Xpeed (auto image optimization), auto IMT measurement, CW, and panoramic imaging software.
