Study Notes

Advance-Sync Pulser

Generates pure waveforms with high precision, creating a fine beam focus in the depth direction
Capable of driving ideal ultrasound waves by superimposing waveforms to each transducer element
Enables clear detection of second harmonics, increasing penetration, spatial resolution, and contrast resolution

Advanced-Beam Receiver

Receives multiple simultaneous signals at high speed across a wide signal area
Improves lateral and temporal resolution, and increases frame rates

Multi-Harmonic Compounding

Compounds signals from individual beams with overlapping data from adjacent beams
Creates thin, straight, homogeneous beams with high spatial resolution and contrast resolution

iBeam+

A technology that cumulatively optimizes beam efficiency through three components:
Multisync Pulser for advanced beam transmission and increased penetration and axial resolution
Multi Beam Receiver for wide area signal reception and increased axial resolution
Multi Harmonic imaging for unprecedented beam processing power and increased framerate and lateral resolution

iDMS Intelligent Dynamic Micro Slice Transducers

More productive transducers that cover 2 conventional transducers
Offers ultra-wide band, sharper and more homogeneous images, with easy handling and slice thickness control
Mostly used with BX transducer

Imaging Technologies

Differential THI (Tissue Harmonic Imaging):
- Simultaneously transmits 2 pulses at different frequencies
- Enhances harmonic image quality with increased penetration
- Diff II improves frequency matching, beam density, and focusing for improved spatial and contrast resolution, and uniformity
Aplipure & Aplipure+:
- Reduce speckle noise through spatial (receive) and frequency compounding
- Improve continuity of structures, lateral resolution, and image uniformity
- Preserve clinically significant markers like shadows
- Work in all modes, including color
Aplipure+:
- Builds on Aplipure with added spatial (transmit) and process compounding
- Increases contrast resolution, smoothness, and structure definition
- Enables wide view scanning and clearer display of tissue boundaries

Precision Imaging

Improves contrast through unique signal processing powered by intelligent component architecture
Enhances ultrasound beam data by including information from adjacent scan lines
Precision+ increases natural structure enhancement, reduces saturation, and looks at pixel information in the 3rd dimension
