MAHWAH, N.J., Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mindray
Medical International Limited (NYSE: MR), a leading developer,
manufacturer and marketer of medical devices worldwide, today
announced that it will showcase the latest enhancements to the DC-8
ultrasound system at the 98th Annual Meeting of the Radiological
Society of North America to be
held during November 25-30, 2012 in
Chicago.(RSNA Booth: 7235, North
Hall). The DC-8 v1.5 enhancements are designed to increase system
performance in a wide variety of diagnostic imaging clinical
applications.
"Mindray continues to innovate and provide unsurpassed economic
value to our customers," said Michael
Thompson, Vice President of Ultrasound Sales, Mindray North
America. "The v1.5 release expands the DC-8's ability to simplify
and enhance the clinical experience with easier image acquisition
and superior image quality. Focusing on advances in 3D and general
imaging capabilities, we believe the DC-8 system has the potential
to improve patient management, increase ease of use, and enhance
users' overall level of confidence."
One of the new enhancements to the DC-8 ultrasound system is the
Multi-Slice feature, which allows the display of multiple 2D
images, derived from one 3D volume data set, on one page for easy
viewing. This improves 3D image analysis and creates a similar
workflow to traditional review of CT exams. In addition, iPage
allows users to view slices on any reference point on a 3D
plane.
Not only does the DC-8 now support measurements on 3D MPR images
and 3D color, it also uses Mindray's Multi-Beam Parallel Imaging
Technology™, which integrates advanced imaging technologies to
produce optimized images with minimal user involvement. When
combined with the system's echo-enriched beamformer, the DC-8
produces excellent images. Its ergonomic solutions address every
part of the user's body that interacts with the device, improving
procedural efficiency and reducing repetitive actions. A new user
interface enables logical and efficient workflow while ensuring a
more convenient operation. For example, iWorks is a powerful
protocol management system beneficial for an experienced
sonographer, a student or visiting physician, allowing the user to
focus on the patient and spend less time on operational steps and
keystrokes.
In addition to enhancements to the DC-8, Mindray will also be
showcasing its expanding family of ultrasound systems, including
the M7, M5, DP 50, DP-7, DC-7, DC-T6, and DC-3 at the RSNA. All
systems allow for upgrades, which will optimize the return on
investment for users.
