Powerful, New bk3000 Ultrasound System Featured at RSNA
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
BK Ultrasound, Powered by Analogic, the Gateway to Future Clinical Applications
PEABODY, Mass., Nov. 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Analogic Corporation
(Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world''s medical imaging and aviation security
technology, today announced that it will demonstrate its new bk3000((TM))
ultrasound system at the 100(th) Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 30 - Dec. 5. The new system
will allow the flagship BK Ultrasound brand, powered by Analogic, to address the
fast growing demands of interventional and image guided procedures as a result
of superb Ultra High Resolution imaging and Doppler capabilities enabled by
TriCore((TM)) architecture.
"By bringing Analogic''s world renowned technology to BK Ultrasound, we
introduced the most powerful and portable deep imaging ultrasound system
designed to address new clinical challenges in interventional and image guidance
applications," said Jacques Coumans, Ph.D., Analogic''s chief marketing and
scientific officer. "The bk3000 is the gateway to future real-time image guided
diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with technologies we pioneer and deliver
to leading institutions around the world."
"The new system''s architecture is based on graphic processing units, or GPUs,
which are significantly more powerful and efficient compared to conventional
CPU-based architectures," Dr. Coumans continued. "The result is an ultrasound
platform with an accelerated beam forming and computing pipeline for quick
assessments of anatomy and physiology during exams. The bk3000 offers lower cost
of ownership and long-term value, while addressing the industry''s growing
clinical needs, and is the basis of BK Ultrasound''s next-generation family of
systems targeting existing and future real-time image guidance, as well as
general imaging procedures."
TriCore architecture is the combination of breakthrough technologies that
enables the bk3000 to deliver a new level of imaging and performance.
Specifically, the Ultra High Resolution imaging and Doppler improvements allow
for more consistent visualization of subtle tissue contrast differences and
excellent border definition, while simultaneously improving the ability to see
small structures. There is more information at depth as well as increased frame
rates for improved visualization of moving structures.
Featuring advanced transducer technology, the bk3000 is available with a
comprehensive family of transducers. The advanced technology will also enable
the new platform to offer increased sensitivity and efficiency with improved
imaging access across a wide range of body types for guided and diagnostic
procedures.
Analogic will also highlight its breakthrough Sonic Window(®) handheld
ultrasound system for ease of visualizing vasculature and needle guidance for
applications such as peripheral intravenous access (PIV). Sonic Window is built
on Analogic''s patented DSIQ technology, utilizing advanced acoustic-silicon
packaging to build first-of-its-kind, real-time 2D coronal imaging at clinician-
controlled depths. The Sonic Window is designed to improve success with
difficult vascular access by helping clinicians to better assess and visually
guide insertion of needles and catheters.
"The ultra-compact, pocket-sized, Sonic Window is unlike any portable ultrasound
device available on the market today," said Jim Green, Analogic''s president and
chief executive officer. "Sonic Window is an excellent example of Analogic''s
ability to bring practical advanced ultrasound technology to healthcare
professionals. We are addressing an unmet need to bring better vascular access
and care to challenging patients in their practice."
In addition to the bk3000 and the Sonic Window, Analogic will showcase its
industry leading Flex Focus((TM)) family of ultrasound systems, the standard for
procedure guidance, and the BioJet((TM)) MRI-ultrasound Fusion system during
RSNA in Booth #6130. More information may be found at www.bkultrasound.com.
