Exceptional Image Quality for Your Diagnostic Confidence

With the latest technologies and years of experience, ProSound 7 is ready for your clinical needs. High versatility and specialized functions provide outstanding images with impressive contrast and spatial resolution. With high S/N ratio and reduced side lobes, this system presents you with all the information you need for confident diagnosis.

eFLOW Dynamic, detailed blood ow display

eFLOW features enhanced spatial resolution for greater detail. Blood flow can be displayed separately from tissues with only minimal overlapping. Slow blood flow in the finest peripheral vessels such as in fingertips and fast flows in the largest great vessels can dynamically be observed together in one image.
Renal blood flow, clearly displayed to the very minute vessels

Broadband Harmonics (BbH)

High penetration and spatial resolution co-exist in both fundamental and Harmonic Echo imaging, using broadband transmission. Making full use of the second harmonic that reduces side lobes and multiple echoes, Broadband Harmonics offers exceptional clarity on the entire image.

Adaptive Image Processing (AIP) Clearer edge denition

Differences in tissues can be clearly displayed with reduced speckle noise using AIP. Even clearer edges are delineated by selectively emphasizing boundaries. Operating while maintaining the frame rate, AIP is also beneficial in cardiac observations.

Aorta, displayed with clear edges

Spatial Compound Imaging (SCI) Sharper depiction of luminal structure

SCI enhances depiction of side wall structures of lumens by superimposing images acquired by steering ultrasound beams in multiple directions. Speckle patterns in parenchymal organs are more finely displayed, and artifacts depending on beam direction are reduced.
Carotid Artery, with clear cut vessel walls

Trapezoidal Scan
Images scanned by linear probes can be displayed with a wider field of view, in a trapezoidal form.

Spatio-temporal Image Correlation (STIC)

Complete 3D volume data set of one heartbeat of the fast moving fetal heart can be constructed, enabling MPR display in a moving image.

Real-time Tissue Elastography

Stiffness of tissues can be visualized in real time. Using Strain Ratio Measurement to calculate the ratio of 2 areas of your choice, the ratio of stiffness between fat and region of interest (FLR: Fat Lesion Ratio) can be obtained.

Multi-follicle Volume (MFV)

Multiple follicles can automatically be detected in 3D, and the diameter and volume of each follicle can be displayed.

Dynamic Slow-motion Display (DSD)

While displaying a real-time image on the left, its slow motion image can be displayed on the right side of the screen. Each movement of fast moving fetal heart with complex structure can be caught, and details can be examined.

Small part 3D Imaging

High resolution volume data of superficial areas such as the breast can be acquired using the high-frequency linear 3D probe.

eFLOW
The high resolution eFLOW faithfully presents blood flow in minute vessels, without overlapping of color on the tissue.

Volume Slice Imaging (VSI)

Displaying cross-sectional images with thickness, VSI improves image quality by enhancing contrast resolution and reducing speckle noise, and enables easier 3D understanding of the target.

Automated Intima-media Thickness (IMT) Measurement

Simply by setting the ROI on a vessels longitudinal image, max and mean IMTs can be automatically computed.

Automated Segmental Motion Analysis (A-SMA)

Cardiac wall movements can be quantitatively evaluated from changes in the areas of each cross section of cardiac chambers, by the automatically traced endocardiums.

TDI (Tissue Doppler Imaging) Analysis

For further evaluation of regional cardiac functions, we focused on cardiac movements from the myocardia. Strain/ Strain Rate, which is hardly influenced by tethering or translation, is becoming more and more recognized.

Arterial Stiffness
Parameters necessary for quantitative evaluation of early stages of atherosclerosis can be computed at once and displayed on the report. Such parameters include Beta and Ep values, Arterial Compliance (AC), Augmentation Index (AI), and one-point PWV.

Strain Analysis using TDI

CW Doppler by the Linear Probe

Faster blood flows can now be observed with the linear probe without having to change to a sector probe. Stenotic blood flow in superficial areas can sensitively be detected, with excellent image quality and wide field of view.

The time it takes from R wave to the peak of each blood flow waveform in 3 arteries of the lower limb, common femoral artery, popliteal artery, and ankle are automatically measured and the left-right difference is compared.

Comfortable Examination and Working Environment The result of our efforts towards usability

How to Streamline your Workflow

You provide directions; let the automating functions do the rest Image Optimizer
In addition to the ordinary B-mode Gain, STC settings in the depth and lateral Gain can also be optimized in one action. As the system learns the examiners adjustment trends, it will grow to deliver images of your preference as more and more examinations are performed.

Before optimizing

Optimized

Doppler Auto Trace, Auto IMT Measurement, TDI Auto Trace function
Automated measurements not only shorten exam time but enhance accuracy, obtaining definite results regardless of the examiner.

Protocol Assistant
With the Protocol Assistant, the system will guide you through your exam, preventing forgetting to capture or measure images. Pre-register the steps and they will be displayed on the touch panel with a body mark, measurement name, and annotation. As images are printed or stored along the protocol, checkmarks will appear in the checkboxes automatically. When exams are interrupted, a warning message will appear to ensure that the entire examination is performed.

Remote Controller
Have you ever felt the need to reach the operation panel but was difficult to do so, such as when examining the lower extremities or when using a TEE probe? The ProSound 7 brings the small, simplified operation panel right in your hand as a remote controller. Looking for switches is unnecessary, as functions are selected from the monitor on the system.

Operation panel with your switch layout

Most panel switches are customizable to match your needs, with replaceable key tops.

10.4 inch large touch panel

Able to customize the menu layout in a format most useful for you.

Small is good.
Looking for a place to t your system?
The footprint of ProSound 7 is only 49 cm x 79 cm, compact and easy to fit in small spaces.

Flexible monitor with handle

The monitor alone can be swiveled horizontally and slid vertically. With the monitor and operation panel moving individually, each can be set to their optimal positions.

Adjustable panel height and angle for your ease of use

Short or tall, standing or sitting; you name the height, and ProSound 7 will adjust to it. The operation panel can also be swiveled for you to scan in comfort.

Move your ProSound 7 throughout the hospital.

With the four swivel casters, this system is easy to move with tight turns. Swiveling of the casters can be locked for easier transportation when moving straight without drifting.
