eSie Touch™ elasticity imaging uses gentle compression to provide a high resolution elastogram depicting relative tissue stiffness.

eSie Touch Elasticity Imaging Technology

eSie Touch imaging forms the elastogram by computing relative tissue deformation globally and displaying the information within a user defined region of interest. Axial detection pulses are continuously transmitted throughout the field of view to provide information about the state of tissue deformation along one axial line at a specific point in time. Using this technique, stiff and soft tissue may be differentiated even when the tissues appear isoechoic on the B-mode exam.

Unique Attributes:

• Quality Factor – Provides real-time qualitative feedback to assist imagers in optimizing their acquisition technique. The real-time numerical elastogram quality score provides additional information for selecting optimal images for review. The quality factor is available exclusively on the ACUSON S2000™ ultrasound system.
• Elastographic Maps – High resolution elastographic images may be visualized using a variety of grayscale and color maps.
• Shadow Measurements – Measurement calipers are automatically applied to both images in a side-by-side display for comparison of elastographic.
• Transducer support - eSie Touch imaging is supported on linear, endocavity and curved array* transducers.

eSie Touch imaging is available on the ACUSON Antares™ ultrasound system and ACUSON S2000™ ultrasound system.
