After breast, thyroid and abdomen, SuperSonic Imagine enlarges the clinical applications of its MultiWaveTM ultrasound system Aixplorer with new, dedicated packages: prostate, gynaecology, musculoskeletal and 3D breast.

With its unique ShearWave™ Elastography, Aixplorer exploits two types of waves; one ultrasound wave to ensure impeccable image quality in B-mode, and one shear wave to measure and display true local tissue elasticity in kilopascals. Using a unique software-based architecture, Aixplorer is able to generate a shear wave, capture it and measure its speed resulting in the assessment of true tissue elasticity values in kilopascals. A colour-coded map displays these results in real time; stiff lesions appear in red with high kilopascal values, while soft lesions appear in blue with low values.
