Family of Three New Touch Control Premium Ultrasound Imaging Systems Announced

A major imaging vendor has announced a newly designed family of three premium ultrasound imaging systems that feature innovations to improve system operation, and reduce user errors.

The new systems feature workflow innovations to increase patient throughput, a reduction in the number of inconclusive studies as a result of improved image quality, and clear upgrade path to ensure a longer equipment lifetime and investment protection. The control panel of the new systems features a touch display that maximizes workflow efficiency and simplifies user operation. The new user interface uses 44% less software keys, 33% less tactile keys, and 22% less homebase controls.


The family of ultrasound systems, the Acuson S Family, HELX Evolution with Touch Control, was announced by Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany). The systems are intended for use in hospitals, clinics, and private practices.

New imaging optimization technologies in the Acuson S Family enhance image quality in breast, abdominal, vascular and musculoskeletal examinations, and for challenging patients. The systems also feature shear wave elastography for improved quantitative or qualitative tissue characterization. The systems include workflow tools that facilitate superimposed multimodality imaging with 3D Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) volumes.

The Acuson S3000 ultrasound system is designed for multimodality imaging, the Acuson S2000 for general imaging and women’s health, and the ACUSON S1000 for cardiology and vascular imaging.
