Aixplorer® Ultimate Ultrasound to Be Featured by SuperSonic Imagine at SBI/ACR Breast Imaging Symposium

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, April 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuperSonic Imagine (Euronext:SSI) (FR0010526814), a company specializing in ultrasound medical imaging, today announced that it will feature the Aixplorer® Ultimate premium ultrasound platform at the 2018 Society of Breast Imaging/American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Symposium (SBI 2018), held April 12-15 in Las Vegas. The Aixplorer Ultimate is the only UltraFast™ ultrasound system, featuring enhanced performance, workflow and efficiency, as well as a combination of impeccable image quality and unprecedented ultrasound advances.

“The Aixplorer Ultimate was designed to enhance diagnosis of breast pathologies with enhanced features including our ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™) that helps physicians to capture a quantitative color-coded map to visualize and analyze tissue stiffness. The advantages of SWE in the diagnosis of breast lesions have been demonstrated in more than 100 publications, including an international study involving more than 1,600 patients. Ultimate also incorporates the very latest UltraFast innovations such as Needle PL.U.S or TriVu,” said Michèle Lesieur, CEO of SuperSonic Imagine. “We are excited to attend SBI 2018 and show clinicians the newly enhanced features of the Aixplorer Ultimate.”

Needle PL.U.S offers physicians increased reliability during biopsies and procedures guided by ultrasound, whilst improving comfort and safety for patients. The application enables physicians to view anatomical structures and biopsy needles simultaneously and predict their trajectory in real time with a high level of precision.

The NEW Aixplorer’ Ultimate demonstrates advancements in several respects. The Ultimate’s elegant new look and enhanced user interface make it simple to use.  The system’s computation power is more than 4.5 times faster and 20% more energy efficient than its predecessor. Aixplorer Ultimate also now includes a barcode scanner for inputting patient information, reducing manual errors and saving time. With greater efficiency and smoother workflow, physicians can spend their time caring for patients.

SSI invites attendees of SBI 2018 to visit Booth #101 at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.  Live demonstrations at the exhibition will include all of Aixplorer Ultimate’s exclusive modes, such as TriVu real-time simultaneous mode that combines anatomical and functional imaging for breast evaluation in one test ; ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™), which is used to view and measure the stiffness of tissues in real time using color mapping; and Angio PL.U.S., which offers unrivaled resolution for imaging microvascularization in lesions. This combined visualization is designed to leverage the simultaneous real-time benefits of multiple modalities for exams in complex cases, as well as for interventional imaging for biopsy guidance or therapy.

About SuperSonic Imagine

Founded in 2005 and based in Aix-en-Provence (France), Supersonic Imagine is a company that specializes in medical imaging. The company designs, develops and markets a revolutionary ultrasound platform, Aixplorer®, which uses the UltraFast™ technology that can acquire images around 200 times faster than conventional ultrasound systems. In addition to providing exceptional image quality, this unique technology gave rise to several innovations which have changed the paradigm of ultrasound imaging: ShearWave™ Elastography (SWE™), Angio PL.U.S – Planewave UltraSensitive™ Imaging and, more recently, TriVu. ShearWave Elastography allows physicians to visualize and analyze the stiffness of tissue in real-time using a reliable, reproducible and non-invasive procedure. This is an important parameter in diagnosing potentially malignant lesions or other diseased tissue. As of today, over 300 publications have demonstrated the value of SWE in the care of patients with a wide range of diseases. The latest innovation, Angio PL.U.S, provides a higher level of microvascular imaging through significantly improved color sensitivity and spatial resolution, while maintaining exceptional 2D image quality. SuperSonic Imagine has been granted regulatory clearances for the commercialization of Aixplorer® on the main markets. Since April 2014, the SuperSonic Imagine company has been listed on Euronext (symbol:SSI).
