Zonare upgrades ultrasound line

Ultrasound technology developer Zonare Medical Systems is upgrading its ultrasound line with two new transducers, calculation packages, and a program to automatically recognize and adjust for differences in body sound propagation.

The Mountain View, CA, company's z.one system is based on its Zone Sonography technology, which retains all raw data obtained in the ultrasound signal, enabling advances such as automatic sound speed compensation.

The new P10-4 transducer is designed for imaging neonatal, infant, and pediatric patients. The new P4-1 small footprint transducer addresses the need for greater access in abdominal and ob/gyn sonography, as it features nine frequencies, eliminating the need to change transducers.

Ultrasound nonmass breast lesion features may signal malignancy

By Amerigo Allegretto

Some nonmass breast lesion characteristics on ultrasound exams can be considered suspicious for malignancy at screening ultrasound.

November 5, 2024

Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a malignant nonmass lesion that was diagnosed as microinvasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Transverse and (B) longitudinal ultrasound images show a hypoechoic nonmass lesion (solid arrows) with segmental distribution in the left breast. The lesion has associated calcifications (dashed arrows in A). (C) Longitudinal color Doppler ultrasound image shows high vascularity. (D) Magnified image in the mediolateral oblique view from screening mammography shows grouped calcifications (arrows), which are considered a mammographic correlate of the ultrasound-detected nonmass lesion (A radiopaque marker attached to the skin is visible in the image because the mammographic exam was performed after screening breast ultrasound). Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy and pathologic examination revealed ductal carcinoma in situ, but the lesion was upgraded to microinvasive ductal carcinoma at subsequent surgery (2.5-cm ductal carcinoma in situ, histologic grade II, estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2-negative).
