Terason Launches IMPACT 2008 to Provide Unique Advantage in Laptop Ultrasound Market

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TERASON, the innovator and leader in patented ultrasound microsystem technology, advances its handheld laptop ultrasound system with the release of IMPACT 2008. With this release, Terason focuses on bringing a superior cost-effective patient care solution through its Windows® based architecture to our customers. IMPACT 2008 advances the overall performance and functionality of ultrasound across various applications.

IMPACT 2008 encompasses many new features and benefits advancing the overall image quality of Terason’s Ultrasound Systems. Superior image quality is enriched through proprietary new algorithms, lateral resolution, Advanced Harmonic Imaging (AHI) and OmniVision. The increase in lateral resolution is achieved without decreasing the frame rate. OmniVision features electronic beam steering for rapidly acquiring several scans from many different viewing angles for more confidence in visualization and diagnosis. OmniVision reduces speckle, shadowing, clutter and other acoustic artifacts, resulting in exceptional contrast resolution and tissue differentiation. New grayscale maps provide clinicians with exquisite grayscale imaging, as well as additional choices in image displays. Terason’s unique advanced harmonic imaging algorithm is further optimized for the 5C2 and 4V2 transducers, reducing artifacts and improving contrast resolution.
