Toshiba introduces new ultrasound software

Toshiba America Medical Systems has introduced Precision Imaging software for its Aplio XG ultrasound system.

As a multi-resolution signal processing technology, the application evaluates images line-by-line, and includes data from adjacent lines to enhance the amount of information obtained, according to the Tustin, Calif.-based company. Toshiba said Precision Imaging could be useful for imaging breast lesions, superficial regions, small parts, the abdomen, spleen, liver and thyroid.
