OTS - Hitachi Medical Systems Europe launches "ARIETTA 750", the new model from the ARIETTA series of diagnostic ultrasound platforms - This model inherited premium class technologies (part 1)
2020. March 11. 09:30
Steinhausen/Switzerland, 11 March, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Hitachi Medical
Systems Europe (HMSE) today announces the launch of the ARIETTA
750, the new model from the ARIETTA's diagnostic ultrasound
platform series. Sales activities in Europe are expected to start
in April. ARIETTA 750 follows the concept of ARIETTA 850, the
flagship model of the ARIETTA line, and supports state-of-the-art
image processing technologies and applications. The ultrasound
platform flexibly meets the demands in various clinical fields.

Ultrasound is recognized as an indispensable diagnostic tool in
today's clinical practice allowing the visualization of internal
organs in real-time and, with its non-invasive nature, provides a
stress-free examination for the patient. With the number of elderly
and lifestyle-related diseases increasing, ultrasound is used
across a wide range of clinical disciplines, from screening,
diagnosis and treatment to outpatient care, and follow-up.
Hitachi released the world's first diagnostic ultrasound system
in 1960 and introduced the ARIETTA ultrasound platform brand in
2014 using proven technologies and expertise fostered over more
than 50 years.
"ARIETTA 750 is an impressive new addition to the ARIETTA
series which now completes the distinguished product line-up",
explains Mr. Laurent Rapon, Head of Ultrasound Europe at Hitachi
Medical Systems Europe.
It follows the successful concept of the flagship model ARIETTA
850, featuring 'Pure Image', 'Seamless Workflow', and 'Your
Application'.
Reaching the next level in human-centered design, Hitachi
offers original solutions to exceed today's user requirements, and
contributes to healthcare development as a leading manufacturer of
ultrasound imaging.
ARIETTA 750 features outstanding medical imaging benefits:
1. "Pure Image" - for high spatial and contrast resolution
ARIETTA 750 inherits image processing technologies fostered so
far and provides high quality imaging.
Among them is eFocusing, a transmission and reception
technology that achieves high definition imaging from near to far
field. eFocusing is able to significantly enhance the ultrasound
image for a more detailed clinical assessment and accurate
diagnosis. Patient-dependent variability is significantly reduced
and focus points can be set throughout the imaged tissue
independently of depth.
Carving Imaging produces cleaner images by merging original
imaging with images processed using noise reduction and tissue
structure extraction technologies. Carving Imaging accentuates the
subtlest differences in echo pattern and emphasizes the boundaries
around organs. So, it is expected to be effective for the use in
routine examinations and delineation of difficult patients in the
past.
Hitachi will continue to bring both technologies to the next
level to achieve further image quality improvements and
user-independent stable image delineation, and contribute to faster
and more accurate diagnoses
2. "Seamless Workflow" - Ergonomic design and Protocol
Assistant for high operability
The physical impact of maintaining an unnatural posture,
repetitive movements or using an extended reach for a long period
of time places significant stress on the operator. ARIETTA 750's
monitor arm and operator console have both been developed to
respect ergonomic movement and provide user-comfort even during
lengthy examinations.
Protocol Assistant promotes efficient workflow according to
user-registered protocols and supports the improvement of patient
throughput. And a Guide View function allows the display of
reference images for each step of the procedure for more intuitive
and smoother examinations. (continues)
