Samsung unveils advanced ultrasound radiology and CT devices

Samsung Electronics has exhibited its latest ultrasound, digital radiography, mobile computed tomography (CT), and software devices at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2019 Annual Meeting, held in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

The company has showcased its advanced ultrasound system RS85 Prestige, the next-generation RS85, featuring new imaging architecture and value-added features. The new imaging architecture includes Crystal architecture that combines CrystalBeam beamformer and CrystalPure imaging engine, with the S-Vue transducer, to provide crystal-clear images. The ultrasound system is also equipped with value-added features, including MV-Flow with LumiFlow, which provides a detailed view of blood flow with enhanced spatial and temporal resolutions and provides 3D visualization with continuous and 3D-like vascular images. In addition, the ShadowHDR feature provides a shadow-suppressed image for capturing attenuated regions behind bony structures, and PureVision to produce clear images using speckle noise suppression and edge-enhancement on B-mode.

The company has unveiled its new ceiling X-ray GC85A and mobile X-ray GM85, along with its new detector line-up with enhanced usability. The company’s new X-ray devices have been granted the US Department of Defense (DOD) authorization to operate (ATO) for the risk-management framework (RMF) program for cybersecurity regulations.

Furthermore, Samsung has showcased its additional mobile computed tomography (mCT) clinical cases, indicating reduced response time and improving patient outcomes during emergencies including stroke. The BodyTom Elite and OmniTom mobile whole-body and head CT are designed for use at the point of care, to determine better treatment strategy, avoiding physical space and power constraints.
