Enhanced Clarity

By combining an originally developed the ultra-wide band high frequency probe and the newly image engine, Konica Minolta have succeeded in transmitting and receiving Differential Harmonic /Additional Harmonic / Harmonic chords that come into the band.
This advanced technology features allow improved image detail and contrast resolution for precision diagnosis and better patient outcomes. The high frequency linear probe “L18-4” provides exceptional image quality with an advanced level of Tissue Harmonic “T²HI”, and it is particularly ideal for superficial.

Improve Image Quality

Konica Minolta's Dual Sonic Technology uses a unique algorithm that enables the transmission of two waveforms, according to the focusing depth. In combination with T²HI technology, it forms a high quality THI signal around the center of ultrasound beam in the receiving area. As a result, it suppresses the acoustic noise and ensures the optimum image from deep area to superficial.

Gain Confidence

Simple Needle Visualization (SNV) improves the detection of the needle tip in both "In plane" and "Out of plane" approaches.
Also, a new function "Auto" of SNV Steer automatically detects the insertion of the needle and adjusts the beam accordingly.

A wide range of applications

Auto IMT

Auto IMT (intima-media thickness) calculation is an advanced quantification application to assess arterial health. This non-invasive method to evaluate cardiovascular risk contains an IMT measurement, calculates a Vascular Age and Framingham Risk Factors.

Voice Control

Voice activation of The SONIMAGE HS1 allows for handsfree operation during interventional procedures

Simple and accurate voice activation
Handsfree system operation
No need to break the sterile field
Focus more on the patient
Enhance diagnostic efficiency

The SONIMAGE HS1 voice control operation feature fosters user comfort and proper operator ergonomics at the point-of-care.

Strain Elastography

This is a unique real-time qualitative imaging method that calculates and displays the relative stiffness of tissue.
It also provides further clinical information for assessment of superficial lesions.
