FUJIFILM Sonosite has redefined superficial imaging with the new UHF46-20 transducer.
The groundbreaking UHF46-20 Transducer is the first and only 46MHz Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) transducer available today in the point-of-care ultrasound market, setting a new standard for superficial image clarity and detail.
With a minimum scan depth of only 4mm, the UHF46-20 transducer will enable clinicians to clearly visualise the first one to two centimetres beneath the skin and identify structures smaller than 1mm, such as superficial nerves and vessels, with high-quality resolution. This innovative technology available exclusively on the FUJIFILM Sonosite LX system, provides superior superficial imaging.
The combination of the new transducer and the Sonosite LX offers clinicians a versatile solution for a wide spectrum of imaging needs, spanning from deep abdominal scans to ultra-high resolution superficial assessments. The UHF46-20 transducer holds promise for improving outcomes across a range of sensitive applications including Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Rheumatology. In the NICU, its superior resolution may help clinicians see superficial submillimetre anatomy that conventional ultrasound may not capture.
The use of UHF ultrasound may aid clinicians improve procedural quality by allowing for better visualisation of tiny anatomy that may help to improve first attempt success rates. In Rheumatology, UHF’s advanced superficial imaging may aid in the visualisation of subclinical synovitis, erosions, crystal deposits and inflammation, all of which are beneficial in the early diagnosis and intervention of chronic conditions
