New transducer technologies

The Acclarix AX8 System boasts a full range of transducers that span most point-of-care and general imaging applications. All transducers feature multiple, selectable fundamental and harmonic frequencies to provide exquisite sensitivity, excellent detail and contrast resolution, and image uniformity throughout the field of view so you can appreciate even the smallest details.

TAI

TAI is a unique and proprietary technology pioneered by Edan. TAI continuously and dynamically interacts with the returning echoes and adapts the image based on the characteristics of the tissues being imaged. Without any user interaction the system is adjusting multiple parameters. TAI is available in B-mode, color and spectral Doppler. Some of the benefits of TAI are:

Enhanced image contrast, improved definition of anatomic boundaries and tissue architecture and educed clutter noise
Improved color sensitivity and better flow aesthetics
Improved spectral fill-in and border detection

eSRI

eSRI uses real-time image processing to improve visualization of anatomy and pathology by reducing the speckle noise. Edan’s speckle reduction imaging technology uses an advanced multi-scale anisotropic filtering algorithm. This filtering technology separates regions of noise from diagnostic information by acting differently on noise versus true anatomic information enhancing image clarity.

Spatial Compounding Imaging

Spatial Compounding combines multiple images acquired at different angles to form a single image with improved quality. This results in images with reduced speckle noise and enhanced contrast.
