The L20-5 is considered a breakthrough transducer in the ultrasound industry
Mountain View, Calif. (PRWEB) October 13, 2016
Mindray/ZONARE, a developer of next generation ultrasound technology, announced it is introducing its highly demanded L20-5 transducer to the company’s Z.One PRO ultrasound system. Previously only available on the premium ZS3 mobile system, the high frequency linear array transducer provides unsurpassed resolution imaging for the ultimate clinical performance. The L20-5 and Z.One PRO system will be showcased at the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) annual congress being held October 16 – 18, 2016 in Las Vegas.
“The L20-5 is considered a breakthrough transducer in the ultrasound industry,” said Glen McLaughlin, PhD., chief product officer for Mindray and president of ZONARE. “It is extremely useful in numerous departments including emergency, ICU, interventional radiology and anesthesia. Adding its capabilities to the Z.One PRO will provide more accessibility to this popular transducer.”
The L20-5 transducer is significantly used in a wide array of applications. These include small parts, pediatric, breast, vascular access, muscloskeletal, nerve blocks, thyroid biopsies, contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and foreign body detection. For example, in emergency point-of-care settings, ocular injuries, due to foreign body presence, are routinely seen. Locating the foreign object and diagnosing the injury is significantly aided by high frequency ultrasound imaging.
“Coupling this industry-leading high frequency transducer with our next generation ZONE Sonography Technology (ZST) enables the clinician to detect even the smallest of issues in the near field,” said McLaughlin. “We have had substantial demand to introduce the L20-5 on our second platform. We appreciate these requests from our customers and have complied.”
ZST enables pioneering imaging developments such as Advanced Acoustic Acquisition™, a software acquisition technique that breaks with traditional line-by-line imaging and instead uses large zones to acquire 90 percent more echo data at speeds of up to 10 times faster than conventional systems. The results are crystal clear images with exceptional temporal accuracy bringing diagnostic confidence to all imaging challenges.
ZST also drives Dynamic Pixel Focusing™ where, automatically, every pixel is optimally focused in every frame, at every depth and every time. No other technology eliminates manual focal zones and reveals structural clarity from the skin line to depths of up to 40 centimeters (cm).
