Acuson of Mountain View, CA, used last month's American College of Cardiology meeting to announce the availability of its Native Tissue Harmonic Imaging application on the Aspen ultrasound scanner. NTHI previously was found only on the company's super-premium Sequoia echocardiography system.
NTHI is being made available to Aspen owners as part of the Advanced Imaging Option upgrade package. In addition to NTHI, the package includes the company's Delta differential echo amplification technique, which enhances contrast resolution while maintaining image detail.
