InnerVision Advanced Medical Imaging adds latest breakthrough in ultrasound imaging technology (36.58 KB)

New intelligent system from Philips Medical Systems provides improved patient imaging capabilities, advanced ergonomics and voice-activated control.

Lafayette, Indiana - InnerVision Advanced Medical Imaging announced today that it has acquired the iU22 ultrasound system from Philips Medical Systems, providing advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities with an intelligent system interface that streamlines ultrasound exams for patients and clinicians.

The Philips iU22 features 4D (or, real-time 3D) imaging technology that allows patients to view the fetus and internal organs as if they were being held in the hands. The system's powerful imaging capabilities support a variety of common exams, including vascular, thyroid, and abdominal exams.

"Ultrasound imaging is hugely beneficial because it is a relatively low cost and non-invasive way to look inside the body," said Stephen Matthews, Unity Radiologist. "With the new Philips system, we are acquiring an extremely high level of diagnostic information and can provide answers for our patients more quickly and easily. Plus, results from the ultrasound exam often reduce the need for more invasive procedures."

The new system can be operated by intelligent voice-command when the sonographer is in tight quarters or needs both hands for scanning. A highly moveable control panel increases the sonographers' flexibility to work around the patient, and the system's sleek profile makes it easy to move to wherever it is needed.

Early clinical use by physicians indicates that the Philips iU22 intelligent ultrasound system has the potential to:
• Make ultrasound exams faster
• Help patients and their physician better visualize and understand their condition
• Enhance diagnostic capability, thus reducing or eliminating the need for more expensive or invasive tests and procedures
• Provide clearer ultrasound images, especially in difficult-to-image patients

Because it can be used in the most delicate conditions without major side effects, ultrasound has become one of the most popular diagnostic methods among both patients and physicians. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce moving images of the body's internal soft tissue structures. It provides a safe, fast and relatively painless means of diagnostic imaging on an outpatient basis.

InnerVision Advanced Medical Imaging is pleased to be able to offer this important improvement in healthcare to its patients. InnerVision Advanced Medical Imaging, a St. Elizabeth Regional Health and Unity Healthcare Partner, has been providing quality health care services to the Lafayette Area since 2000.
