Tissue Strain Analytics represents 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 qualitative or quantitative measurements of the mechanical stiffness of tissue.
Tissue strain analytics compliments conventional ultrasound exams by providing a new dimension of information. Mechanical stiffness 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 uses gentle compression to provide a high resolution elastogram.
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.
*Not available in the USA.
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.
*Not available in the USA.
