HP adds to ImagePoint scanner

Echocardiography vendor Hewlett-Packard entered the radiology market at last year's RSNA show with ImagePoint, and at this year's meeting the Andover, MA, company (Hall B, #8339) will display the Expanded Imaging Solution upgrade package. ImagePoint users will benefit from the enhancement by gaining 10-MHz capabilities for small parts and superficial imaging. Software improvements provide better near-field color and Doppler sensitivity. Two new transducers will also be highlighted, one for vascular studies and one for neonatal head and pediatric cardiac imaging.
