Medison’s 3D Extended Imaging (3D XI) ultrasound image processing technology is now available on the SonoAce 8000 Live, its 3D ultrasound system specialized for ob/gyn, the company announced at the RSNA meeting.
Medison's 3D Extended Imaging (3D XI) ultrasound image processing technology is now available on the SonoAce 8000 Live, its 3D ultrasound system specialized for ob/gyn, the company announced at the RSNA meeting.
The technology migration makes the SonoAce 8000 Live a complete premium-performance solution, according to Medison. The midrange system provides comprehensive clinical capabilities, including 2D, 3D, and 4D.
The SonoAce 8000 Live was already distinguished by its synthetic aperture controls, volume 3D, PSAD beamformer, and sensitive power Doppler capabilities. It now provides convenient research functions, enhanced workflow efficiencies, and intuitive ergonomics as well.
Medison touts the 3D XI technology as advancing ultrasound diagnosis to a CT- or MRI-like imaging quality. It includes multislice, oblique, and volume CT view.
Multislice view transforms 3D volume data obtained from a regular ultrasound scan into a series of sequential images captured in intervals of 0.5-mm to 5-mm segments. Oblique view enables display of 3D volume data in various planes. Volume CT view enables multiple examinations of various regions and eliminates the need for multiple scanning.

Study Finds Transvaginal Ultrasound Unreliable for Detecting Endometrial Cancer in Black Patients
July 3rd 2024Utilizing a threshold of less than 5 mm of ultrasound-measured endometrial thickness, the authors of a new study noted an 11.4 percent false-negative probability for endometrial cancer in Black patients.
New Study Shows Non-Radiologists Interpreting 28 Percent of Imaging for Medicare Patients
June 28th 2024While radiologists interpreted approximately 99 percent of all non-cardiac CT, MRI and nuclear medicine studies in hospital and emergency department settings for Medicare beneficiaries, new research shows significantly less radiologist review of cardiac imaging and office-based imaging.
