A fully featured premium ultrasound imaging system integrates technologies to deliver superior image quality without compromising workflow or efficiency.

The Esaote (Genova, Italy) MyLab X8 Ultrasound System is powered by Microsoft Windows 10, with a widescreen multi-function tablet-like touchscreen that includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor and zero-click automation functions that provide very fast interface usage and simplify complex procedures. A large portfolio of iQProbe extended wideband convex, linear, phased array, volumetric, intraoperative and special transducer shapes are available, all featuring active matrix composite materials, single crystal, multiple adaptive layers, and a bi-con geometric lens.

Features include five transducer connectors for fast probe switching to adapt to demanding clinical environments; fast boot time and smart stand-by function; one touch image optimization through intelligent real-time algorithms; and two exclusive solutions, easyMode and easyColor, which simplify the number of parameters to be adjusted by the users and drive ultrasound image optimization in just three swipes. Options include Virtual Navigator for fusion imaging, QElaXto shearwave elastography, and automation tools such as eScan and eDoppler.

“The MyLab X8 Ultrasound System is uniquely suited for the demands of a myriad of applications, whether in the hospital or in the office,” said Robert Lewis, President and General Manager at Esaote North America. “Esaote has a legacy of producing high quality imaging solutions that are accessible and incorporate advanced technologies. We are committed to developing fully featured and versatile imaging systems with unmatched efficiency and scalability.”

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
