ULTRA Virtual Navigator - Transperineal Urology
Prostate cancer is the most common tumor in male patients and the second/third cause of death by cancer in the United States and Europe. The early and accurate diagnosis and localization of suspect cancer areas is of fundamental importance to providing more appropriate therapy management. The current diagnostic algorithm, based on rectal examinations, PSA testing, and ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies, provides limited information in this regard.

Virtual Navigator has all the advantages of different modalities and provides a real-time, low-cost and radiation-free solution that aims to guide operators in diagnosis, everyday clinical practice, interventional procedures, research and teaching.
Virtual Navigator - Urology
Virtual Navigator is Esaote’s revolutionary technology for fusion imaging that allows CT, MR and PET side-by-side with real-time ultrasound. Esaote Virtual Navigator offers infinite possibilities for patient monitoring, diagnosis and follow-up and is an excellent solution for Interventional Radiologists and Urologists in Prostate.
Synovitis quantification
Consideration of the QPack application from MyLab™9. Doppler US allows detection of the perfusion of synovial tissue in inflammatory rheumatic diseases. It has become an important tool for determining inflammatory activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.
QElaXto 2D Liver Fibrosis Assessment
Chronic liver disease is nowadays a worldwide problem and may result from different etiologies: the most important are viral infection of the liver, NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease), ALD (alcoholic liver disease), cholestatic liver disease, and AIH (Autoimmune hepatitis).
iQProbes - Technical Perspectives on Broadband Ultrasound Transducers
Improvements in Diagnostic Imaging Resolution and Penetration: ultrasound probes are comprised of a transducer, housing, cable, and system connector. Esaote probe design optimizes each of these components to ensure best-in-class clinical performance, ergonomics, and reliability.
ULTRA Hemodynamic Evaluation microV
Nowadays, different technologies are regularly used by clinicians to characterize lesion vascularity and to show normal and/or abnormal vascularity in several organs and tissues. Pathology characterization and diagnosis in all clinical applications, in relation to low-velocity flow visualization without interference from hyper-echoic structures and motion artefacts, still represent a tough challenge in everyday clinical practice.
Endocrinology
In the last decade, there has been a rapid refinement of the diagnosis of neck thyroid lesions, especially in the field of thyroid disease. Ultrasound plays a fundamental role in the management of thyroid nodules and tumors and in the approach to recurring neck problems after thyroidectomy.
Application of Elastography in Dermatology
CEUS allows easy and accurate characterization of focal liver lesions. This not only implies a very high capacity to distinguish benign from malignant lesions, but also to identify the specific types of benign lesions, often with better accuracy than with CT, taking advantage of the high temporal and spatial resolutions of ultrasonography.
CEUS Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound
CEUS allows easy and accurate characterization of focal liver lesions. This not only implies a very high capacity to distinguish benign from malignant lesions, but also to identify the specific types of benign lesions, often with better accuracy than with CT, taking advantage of the high temporal and spatial resolutions of ultrasonography.
Virtual Navigator - Thyroid - Neck
In the last decade, there has been a rapid refinement in the diagnosis and therapy in the neck, especially in the field of thyroid disease. Ultrasound plays a fundamental role in the management of thyroid neoplasm and in particular in the management of recurring neck problems after thyroidectomy.
Real Time Elastosonography
Thyroid ultrasound (US) is useful for detecting and characterizing nodular disease which prevalence being dramatically increased in iodine-defcient areas. The great majority of nodules are benign, less than 5% of them being malignant.
Elaxto-Rheuma - Measuring Skin Thickness of Systemic Sclerosis Patients
Preliminary study show that elastosonography improves ultrasound’s reliability to measure skin thickness of systemic sclerosis patients helping the identifcation of dermis-hypodermis interface.
Elaxto Thyroid Nodules
Elastography, a new dynamic ultrasound technique, reaches high predictive values and might reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies, increase cost savings and improve patients quality of life.
EHD Technology
Diagnostic value enhancement and system usability optimization are the main key factors taken into consideration in the development of the eHD Technology. It focuses the whole ultrasound chain, from the transducer to the display, passing through signal processing and strategic features.
EHD Technology in Musculoskeletal The New Era in Ultrasound
Diagnostic value enhancement and system usability optimization are the main key factors taken into consideration in the development of the eHD Technology in MSK. It focuses the whole ultrasound chain, from the transducer to the display, passing through signal processing and strategic features.
Developments in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Ultrasound technology’s innovations supply extraordinary power for clinical development in the MSK Ultrasound imaging field thanks to their real-time performance, high tissue resolution, advanced features and reliable cost.
Skin Ultrasound - Where MHz can make a difference
Thanks to the available very-high-frequency (up to 22 MHz) in Ultrasound technology it is now possible to examine benign and malignant skin lesions in epidermis, dermis and subcutis as well as blood vessels close to the skin. Precise measurement of skin thickness and accurate assessment of internal skin structures also supply better answers regarding the performance of surgical or non surgical procedures, therapeutic or cosmetic treatment and follow up.
