ACUSON S2000 showcased at leading museum of modern medicine

Siemens Healthcare recently supported the Leeds and Bradford Ultrasound Study Day at the Thackray Museum in Leeds, one of the UK’s leading medical museums. Delegates listened to various talks from eminent speakers on liver and obstetric imaging plus received an informative presentation on the ACUSON S2000™ ultrasound system.

Not only does the ACUSON S2000 provide excellent image quality in difficult to image patients, it also includes innovative applications to improve diagnostic confidence. Applications such as Virtual Touch™ Quantification use Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technology to compress tissue and provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of its stiffness. This application can be utilised anywhere in the body, however its main clinical advantage is currently in the evaluation and quantification of liver stiffness.

The ACUSON S2000 also provides best-in-class foetal imaging for 2D and 3D / 4D acquisition. Its Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation (STIC) feature enables an automated acquisition of a high quality foetal heart volume, using a sophisticated algorithm that compensates for variability in heart rate. This enables doctors to obtain detailed volumes of the foetal heart for more accurate diagnosis. The S2000 also benefits from advanced knowledge-based workflow applications such as syngo® Auto OB measurements to improve diagnostic confidence and enhance workflow.
