Tissue Strain Analytics could represent the most important development in ultrasound technology since the advent of Doppler imaging. Siemens’ comprehensive suite of Tissue Strain applications provides a new dimension of diagnostic information through either qualitative assessment or quantitative measurement of the mechanical stiffness of tissue.

A new dimension of diagnostic information

Tissue strain analytics complements conventional ultrasound exams by providing an extra dimension of information--mechanical stiffness. This additional information can be combined with anatomical (B-mode) as well as vascular (Doppler) information such that the actual diagnosis is contained by the intersection of three dimensions of information.

eSie Touch Elasticity Imaging

eSie Touch™ elasticity imaging uses gentle compression to provide a high resolution elastogram.

Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging

Virtual Touch™ tissue imaging* is the first commercially available application of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technology for evaluation of deep tissues not accessible by superficial compression elastography.

Virtual Touch Tissue Quantification

Virtual Touch™ tissue quantification* measures shear wave speed to provide a fast and accurate numerical measurement related to tissue stiffness at a user-defined anatomical location.
