FUJIFILM SonoSite, Inc. (Bothell, WA, USA), a developer of cutting-edge, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), exhibited numerous solutions at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) held from December 1-5, 2019 in Chicago, USA.
FUJIFILM SonoSite’s portable, compact systems are expanding the use of ultrasound across the clinical spectrum by cost-effectively bringing high-performance ultrasound to the point of patient care. FUJIFILM SonoSite solutions that were demonstrated at RSNA 2019 included SonoSite X-Porte, a highly portable kiosk ultrasound system that fluidly combines striking image clarity with touchscreen controls and a customizable interface. It offers more than 80 real-time educational visual guides and tutorials. Proprietary high-definition imaging technology focuses the ultrasound beams with pinpoint precision, reducing artifact clutter and enhancing contrast resolution. FUJIFILM exhibited the SonoSite Edge II which offers an enhanced imaging experience through industry-first transducer innovations like Armored Cable Technology. In a clamshell design, it features an intuitive interface for easier access to frequently used functions and a wide-angle display with an anti-reflection coating for minimal adjustments during viewing. It is designed to be truly portable and used in the most rigorous environments.
Also featured at the event was SonoSite SII which empowers efficiency for clinicians through a simple portrait display, and smart user interface that adapts to the user’s imaging needs. FUJIFILM’s enhanced imaging technology on select transducers provides users with increased resolution and penetration, while maintaining durability and reliability with Armored Cable Technology. Other featured products included the SonoSite iViz, a powerful diagnostic tool that fits in the palm of the hand and provides quick answers in tough clinical environments, both at the bedside and in the field. It combines superior imaging performance, ultra-mobility, and one-handed operation while allowing collaboration and sharing of information with colleagues. FUJIFILM also demonstrated the SonoSite Synchronicity workflow manager that helps healthcare organizations optimize workflows, maximize financial return, improve quality assurance efficiency, and streamline credentialing processes. Built specifically for POCUS, SonoSite Synchronicity workflow manager securely centralizes exam data and standardizes clinical workflow while delivering administrative efficiencies. Additional features include built-in, customizable worksheets, intuitive dashboards, and the ability to access the tool from a computer, tablet or mobile device. Easily installed and scalable, SonoSite Synchronicity workflow manager was engineered to meet every organization’s unique requirements for standardization, consistency, and compliance across entire medical networks.
“In a healthcare world that’s increasingly complex, we help remove barriers so clinicians can concentrate on what really matters – patient care,” said Rich Fabian, President and Chief Operating Officer of FUJIFILM SonoSite, Inc. “Fujifilm SonoSite is not only committed to developing best in class ultrasound solutions, but also to enhancing education among clinicians who use POCUS all over the world.”
