Toshiba America Medical Systems introduced several new features to its line of ultrasound scanners at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) annual meeting in New Orleans this week.
The company has launched 3D wall-motion tracking for dyssynchrony imaging and advanced regional wall-motion assessment to optimize pacemaker placement and function.
A new tissue enhancement feature is designed to improve image uniformity and endocardial border delineation, especially in difficult-to-scan patients.
Meanwhile, the Auto-IMT feature can determine the thickness of the near and far arterial walls from three segments of the carotid artery: at an optimal angle of incidence and two complementary planes. Auto-IMT is available on Toshiba's Aplio MX, Aplio XG, and Xario XG ultrasound scanners.
Toshiba also debuted a new adult motor-driven transesophageal (TEE) probe, which is designed to improve the diagnosis of numerous cardiac conditions in difficult-to-scan patients.
