Workflow Matters

Vascular exams can often be long and involved.

The Aixplorer^® range makes your exam easier with exceptional image quality to help detect blockages, verify placement of stents and evaluate artery walls. Workflow is faster with a simple control panel that groups key vascular functions together and automated measurement tools such as Intima-Media Thickness and Spectral PW AutoTrace.

Extending the limits of workflow ease and ultrasound technology, the Aixplorer now brings its patented UltraFast™ Imaging platform to the Doppler arena by combining Color Flow Imaging with Pulsed Wave Doppler in one easy-to-use ultrasound mode: UltraFast™ Doppler.

See why UltraFast^TM Doppler can improve your workflow and change the way you image blood flow:

• Locate the highest peak-velocity flow areas in seconds and reduce your exam time.
• Achieve accurate and reproducible spectral Doppler quantification in a retrospective manner, with multiple sample volumes in the same cardiac cycle.
• Experience high quality flow imaging with no compromises between frame rate and field of view.
• Image blood flow at incredible frame rates (up to 200 Hz), a ten-fold increase from conventional hemodynamic imaging performance.
• View fine spatial turbulent flow and high temporal resolution flow details that you have never seen before.

UltraFast PWV (Pulse Wave Velocity):
This exclusive technology allows a fast and reliable measurement of the Pulse Wave Velocity in m/s. Aixplorer is the only system to measure PWV in a single acquisition of the carotid. PWV is linked to arterial stiffness and is becoming an essential tool to evaluate cardio-vascular events.
