Ultrasound Fusion Imaging Designed for Routine Clinical Use

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 12 Dec 2011
A new ultrasound system includes sophisticated automated ultrasound fusion imaging as well as multimodality review capabilities to provide additional clinical and spatial data in the analysis of complicated pathology and/or when performing interventional procedures such as biopsies.

Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) launched the Acuson S3000, its latest ultrasound platform, at the 97th scientific assembly and annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), held in Chicago (IL, USA), November 27-December 2, 2011. More...
In combination with their range of elastography applications, Siemens highlighted its new strain imaging application Virtual Touch tissue IQ imaging. Also at RSNA 2011, Siemens introduced the latest addition to their range of high-density (HD) transducers: the 8C3 HD transducer specially designed for obstetrics and pediatric applications.

The new Acuson S3000 ultrasound system advances Siemens’ innovative ultrasound technologies with its proprietary eSie Fusion imaging, which enables the automatic fusion of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) volumes with real-time ultrasound via a single click.

Current fusion techniques require time-consuming manual registration of CT or magnetic resonance (MR) images. They also require the patient to lie motionless throughout the entire exam to avoid elaborate manual realignments. The automatic, one-click advanced registration capabilities of the Acuson S3000 system eliminate these limitations, reducing CT image registration to just seconds, and greatly simplifying manual registration techniques to enhance workflow during MR volume registration.
