Imaging Processing

• XFlow - Extraordinary flow sensitivity and spatial resolution: XFlow provides direct visualization of blood echoes, extending the wideband resolution, high frame rates and wide dynamic range of blood flow.  
• CnTI™ - Contrast Tuned Imaging: Esaote’s proprietary CnTI™ (Contrast Tuned Imaging) provides high performance contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging with second-generation contrast media.
• X4D: Esaote’s volumetric technology takes full advantage of the touch panel to optimize workflow and ease of use, and represents a breakthrough in technology.

Intelligent Software

• A Standard Ultrasound System Becomes A Personal Application-Specific Diagnostic Tool
• Customized settings and multiple functions can be organized according to clinical practice and preferences and then easily recalled by just pressing a button.

• Extending Productivity Wide ranging image settings, user preferences and clinical targets, normally require time and attention. SmarTouch delivers dedicated settings for any anatomical region so optimal images are displayed with just one touch.

• By combining XStrain analysis of standard apical views (2Ch, 4Ch, ALAX), XStrain4D provides complete volumetric assessment of left ventricle. Global and regional curves as well as strain/strain-rate and volume measurements may be easily and quickly displayed.

• ^RFQIMT (Quality Intima Media Thickness) and RFQAS (Quality Arterial Stiffness) are based on Esaote’s innovative RF-data technology. Accuracy, ease of use, real-time feedback, graphs and reports are part of this innovative package for early-diagnosis clinical practice.

• ElaXto is a non-invasive method to support the physician in assessing tissue elasticity. The differences in tissue responses are detected and visualized in real-time to help physicians in the daily clinical routine. iQ Probes’ high sensitivity increases exam reproducibility and reduces operator dependence.
