Advancing the Art of Ultrasound Imaging

For the first time ever...

An innovation that gives you truly quantifiable tissue elasticity

With Aixplorer, SuperSonic Imagine has developed a unique ultrasound system with an innovative medical platform that can measure and visualize tissue elasticity.

It is a well known fact that manual palpation of tissue is part of a routine medical exam.
Today, it is essential to obtain additional information on tissue elasticity as tissue elasticity may have a correlation to pathology. Quantitative values for tissue elasticity can provide more information about a lesion and more information leads to enhanced diagnostic confidence.

Aixplorer is a revolutionary ultrasound system that delivers :

Impeccable image quality
A new concept of imaging, ShearWave™ Elastography
Cutting edge ergonomic design

With its unique Ultrafast™ technology, Aixplorer is the only ultrasound system fast enough to achieve ShearWave™ Elastography.

Aixplorer is able to quantify shear wave speed resulting in true tissue elasticity values.

ShearWave™ Elastography is the only elastography mode offering results that are :

In real time
Quantitative (in kilopascals)
User-skills independent
Reproducible
