Fujifilm SonoSite to showcase ultrasound kiosk

December 2, 2013

Fujifilm SonoSite Inc., providers of point-of-care ultrasound technology, announced that it will showcase its high-resolution ultrasound kiosk, the X-Porte, at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago.

According to a news release, X-Porte was designed to cure side-lobe imaging artifacts through SonoSite's proprietary Extreme Definition Imaging technology. XDI is a new beam forming algorithm that significantly reduces the visual clutter from side-lobes that affect all ultrasound products, regardless of system size, the release said, resulting in an ultrasound image that appears cleaner with optimal tissue differentiation.

"The overarching goal was to create a high-resolution imaging kiosk that is also delightful to use. This design intent allows clinicians to efficiently use ultrasound anywhere in the hospital it is needed," said Kevin Goodwin, president and CEO, Fujifilm SonoSite. "With X-Porte's advanced signal processing capabilities and multi-gesture touchscreen, I believe that we have achieved this objective."
