(Booth 6542) At RSNA 2007, Aloka Ultrasound of Wallingford, CT, will feature its ProSound Alpha 7 compact ultrasound system for cardiology and general imaging, with applications for obstetrics and gynecology expected in 2008.
Look for Aloka to tout the scanner's ergonomic design, which includes a height-adjustable console and LCD monitor mounted on a flexible arm. Another advantage is ProSound Alpha 7's lightweight compact dimensions, and the fact that the scanner consumes 40% less electricity than previous models, the company said. In addition, the scanner's control panel can be turned horizontally for additional flexibility in imaging.
ProSound Alpha 7 has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with anticipated availability in the U.S. and worldwide in December 2007.
