Aix-en-Provence, France, January 7, 2015 - SuperSonic Imagine (Euronext: SSI, FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging (sonography), announces that its worldwide installed base has reached 1000 systems. The 1000th Aixplorer
ultrasound system was delivered to the Aubagne Radiology Center in France.
The Aixplorer ultrasound system provides exceptional image quality and is equipped with SuperSonic Imagine's proprietary ShearWave Elastography. This technology acquires images 200 times faster than conventional ultrasound which permits the visualization and measurement of tissue stiffness in real time. By providing real-time quantitative information, SuperSonic Imagine's ShearWave technology helps physicians quickly identify potentially malignant and other diseased tissue.
The innovative technology of SuperSonic Imagine's Aixplorer is increasingly requested by private radiology practices, clinics, hospitals and cancer centers worldwide. The technology goes beyond the limits of conventional ultrasound and may replace other, more expensive techniques used for diagnostic, screening and therapeutic follow-up.
"Since the beginning of 2011, we have been using two Aixplorer ultrasound systems on a daily basis for general imaging. We are very satisfied with the system's overall performance in our clinical setting." said Dr. Menut, Radiologist at the Aubagne Radiology Center. "For 2015, we have equipped ourselves with the latest version of Aixplorer and its musculoskeletal application in order to provide the best imaging tools to our patients."
"SuperSonic Imagine is very proud to deliver its 1000th Aixplorer to the Aubagne Radiology Center." said Jacques Souquet, Founder and CEO of SuperSonic Imagine. "Radiologists are perceptive to innovation that is strategic in terms of diagnostic improvements, cost reduction and patient outcomes in both private clinic and hospital settings. The Aixplorer with ShearWave technology makes a clear difference in patient management."
