Speakers and live demonstrations to highlight
key advances in non-invasive ultrasound for breast disease
diagnosis during NCBC and the 2017 SBI/ACR Breast Imaging
Symposium
Regulatory News:
SuperSonic Imagine (Paris:SSI) (Euronext: SSI, FR0010526814), a
company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, today announced
that it will showcase the new version of Aixplorer® at two
respected breast health meetings: the 27th Annual Interdisciplinary
Breast Center Conference, March 11 – 15 in Las Vegas, and the 2017
SBI/ACR Breast Imaging Symposium, April 6 – 9 in Los Angeles.
Aixplorer, the only UltraFast™ ultrasound platform, recent upgrades
include; enhanced performance, workflow and efficiency; and a
combination of impeccable image quality and unprecedented
ultrasound advances.
“The latest Aixplorer gives me a level of diagnostic information
about breast tissue that I never had before,” said Dr. Kathy
Schilling, Medical Director, Lynn Women’s Health and Wellness
Institute, Boca Raton, Florida. “ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™)
allows me to capture a quantitative color-coded map to visualize
and analyze tissue stiffness. That tissue stiffness information
helps me characterize breast lesions and identify diseased or
malignant tissue. The ease of SWE reduces anxiety for patients, and
its and accuracy helps us avoid some unnecessary follow-up
biopsies.”
Aixplorer’s latest version demonstrates advancements in several
respects. The new package provides a comprehensive solution for
breast imaging as well as detailed examination of breast anatomy.
The extensive suite of clinical probes also includes a new high
frequency SL18-5 probe and a tailored specialty SLH20-6 probe
optimized for breast imaging. This suite is complimented by key
Aixplorer innovations: SWE, clinically proven to improve the
specificity of breast ultrasound; 3D Ultrasound combined with SWE,
which offers a 3D color-coded elasticity map of tissue stiffness;
and new imaging mode, TriVu, which displays breast anatomy, flow
and tissue stiffness in a single screen.
The exclusive new feature called TriVu allows simultaneous real
time visualization of anatomy, flow and tissue stiffness without
any compromise. Physicians can now observe tissue in B-mode,
measure stiffness with SWE and visualize the vascularization in one
single view. This new imaging mode may help clinicians save time as
it displays important clinical information at the same time.
Angio PL.U.S., another new tool, also has a breast focus, and is
a significant advancement in Color Doppler Imaging. Angio PL.U.S.
provides a new level of microvascular slow flow for visualization
of small vessels through significantly improved color sensitivity
and spatial resolution while maintaining exceptional 2D
imaging.
“We always look forward to meeting with clinicians in the breast
health space, whose imaging needs SSI has worked tirelessly to
meet. We know how important it is to visualize breast tissue as
clearly as possible, and we continually improve that potentially
life-saving capability,” said Jacques Souquet, Founder and Chief
Innovation Officer of SuperSonic Imagine. “We look forward to
sharing the newly enhanced features of the Aixplorer, including the
exclusive TriVu real-time simultaneous mode, which may prove
valuable to breast evaluation as it combines anatomical and
functional imaging in one test.”
Attendees are invited to join SSI in symposia and on the exhibit

About SuperSonic ImagineFounded in 2005 and based in
Aix-en-Provence (France), SuperSonic Imagine is a company
specializing in medical imaging. The company designs, develops and
markets a revolutionary ultrasound system, Aixplorer®, with an
UltraFast™ platform that can acquire images 200 times faster than
conventional ultrasound systems. In addition to providing
exceptional image quality, this unique technology is the foundation
of several innovations which have changed the paradigm of
ultrasound imaging: ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™), UltraFast™
Doppler, Angio PL.U.S – Planewave UltraSensitive™ Imaging and more
recently TriVu.ShearWave Elastography allows physicians to
visualize and analyze the stiffness of tissue in a real-time,
reliable, reproducible and non-invasive manner. This criteria has
become an important parameter in diagnosing potentially malignant
tissue or other diseased tissue. As of today, over 300
peer-reviewed publications have demonstrated the value of SWE for
the clinical management of patients with a wide range of
diseases.UltraFast Doppler combines Color Flow Imaging and Pulsed
Wave Doppler into one simple exam, providing physicians with exam
results simultaneously and helping to increase patient throughput.
The latest innovation, Angio PL.U.S, provides a new level of
microvascular imaging through significantly improved color
sensitivity and spatial resolution while maintaining exceptional 2D
imaging.SuperSonic Imagine has been granted regulatory clearances
for the commercialization of Aixplorer in key global markets.
SuperSonic Imagine is a listed company since April 2014 on the
Euronext, symbol SSI.For more information about SuperSonic Imagine,
