Siemens Medical Solutions has unveiled the Encompass III release for its Acuson Sequoia C512 echocardiography platform.
Encompass III, shown as a work-in-progress at this week's American Heart Association (AHA) meeting in Dallas, enhances the ergonomics and workflow features offered on both the Encompass I and II releases, according to the Malvern, PA-based vendor.
The upgrade includes Axius Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI), a technique for assessing the heart's contraction mechanics. Also part of Encompass III: Axius Auto EF, a computer-aided detection (CAD) technology that automatically calculates ejection fraction without the need for operator interaction, according to Siemens.
The vendor has also included a set of resynchronization tools based on Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) and fourSight real-time 3D imaging technology for transthoracic applications with a volumetric calculations package.
