The UF-850XTD, a digital ultrasound system capable of cardiac and general imaging, offers continuous wave Doppler with high-frame-rate color flow imaging and a phased-array sector probe. The system uses high-frequency, convex, linear, and phased-array transducers and can be expanded to incorporate 3D imaging.
The midrange scanner is based on TeraRecon's XTrillion digital multibeam chip technology, which increases frame rates and axial resolution. The digital beam-forming technology also decreases noise to improve the sensitivity of images and the efficiency of ultrasound operators, particularly during the performance of Doppler studies. XTrillion digital signal processing coupled with tissue harmonics eliminates phase lapses that interfere with image sharpness.
The UF-850XTD comes with a 15-inch LCD or CRT monitor. Key configuration and placement have been designed to improve efficiency of operation and reduce musculoskeletal stress for the operator.
The Reading Room: Racial and Ethnic Minorities, Cancer Screenings, and COVID-19
November 3rd 2020In this podcast episode, Dr. Shalom Kalnicki, from Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, discusses the disparities minority patients face with cancer screenings and what can be done to increase access during the pandemic.
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.
FDA Clears Pocket-Sized ECG System and AI Technology for Detection of Cardiac Conditions
June 27th 2024Using a reduced leadset and deep neural network algorithms trained on more than 175 million electrocardiograms, the KAI 12L technology reportedly detects up to 35 cardiac determinations, including acute myocardial infarction.
