Ultrasound Technology Offers New Capabilities

The new SonoCT imaging brings the real-time compounding technology to a broader range of scanheads and merges it with advanced signal processing technologies, such as Tissue Harmonic Imaging, and new display technologies such as 3-D and panoramic ultrasound. The result, says ATL, is improved performance and image quality.

ATL's SonoCT processes up to nine distinct ultrasound images from multiple lines of sight and compounds them in real time, so that the resulting images contain diagnostic information unobtainable by conventional single-line-of-sight ultrasound. Second-generation SonoCT imaging is available on ATL's HDI 5000 ultrasound system or as an upgrade option for existing HDI 5000 systems.

I believe that SonoCT imaging can aid in the detection of subtle structural derangements that may occur in the earliest stage of certain disease processes, noted Dr. Arthur C. Fleischer, professor of radiology & radiological sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Nashville, TN, USA
