Comprehensive Imaging Solution for the Management of Breast Cancer Patients
SuperSonic Imagine has raised the bar in breast imaging.
With SuperSonic MACH ultrasound systems, breast specialists now have access to:
- Premium image quality through a comprehensive suite of breast optimized transducers
- Real-time ShearWave™ Elastography, the most clinically studied shear wave-based elastography technology for breast lesion characterization
- 3D breast software-based application that offers unique visualizations of breast anatomy and detailed characterization of lesions
- Innovations including: Angio PLUS, Trivu and Needle PLUS
ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE) has been proven to be a complementary tool for the management of breast cancer patients for:
- lesion characterization1
- surgical planning2
- therapy monitoring3
3D Ultrasound Imaging is designed to enhance diagnostic certainty. Lesion characteristics and morphometry can be leveraged together with the coronal plane imaging to provide supplementary information.
- May provide greater diagnostic information due to whole volume images and the unique coronal plane.
- Resolution is maintained at all depths. For example, lesions next to the pectoralis muscle are easily visible to the clinician.
- It may also assist physicians in the workup of difficult lesions, such as patients with dense breasts.4
