User-friendly ultrasound from Siemens
Siemens Medical Solutions in Berkshire has supplied The Royal London
Hospital with its latest Sonoline Antares ultrasound system offering
expanded capabilities combined with improved ergonomic design.
The latest software upgrade includes Siemens’ fourSight 4D imaging
technology, which allows three-dimensional display of images in real
time, enabling the operator effectively to study moving images. The
London is using the system particularly for musculoskeletal ultrasound
but also a range of general and abdominal examinations.
Sonographers are liable to develop repetitive strain injury after
years of repeated positioning of ultrasound probes and the Antares
system has been designed to minimise this risk by attention to the
lightness and flexibility of transducer cables, miniaturisation of the
hardware, and user-friendliness and portability.
