WAYNE, NJ --(Marketwired - September 21, 2016) - Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc.announced today that the New York School of Regional Anesthesia (NYSORA) has chosen the SONIMAGE HS1 as the exclusive ultrasound system for its workshops focusing on anesthesia and pain management. NYSORA provides training and education to more than 1,000 physicians annually in the United States and internationally in regional anesthesia, pain management, and perioperative medicine. The clinicians who attend NYSORA conferences and workshops frequently use ultrasound during needle guidance procedures to improve accuracy. "NYSORA chose the Konica Minolta SONIMAGE HS1 ultrasound system over other competitive systems because of its image quality and streamlined workflow," said Joan Toth, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Konica Minolta. "The long-term investment in Konica Minolta ultrasound further validates the quality of our system and the growth of our ultrasound division as a major segment within the medical imaging market." SONIMAGE HS1 has the ability to deliver the performance of a high-end ultrasound unit in a hand-carried system, making it an ideal point-of-care solution for rapid and confident evaluations at the bedside and in the exam room. The system provides enhanced visualization for guidance during therapeutic procedures including pain management. In addition, the broad frequency linear probe, L18-4, is ideal for both deep and superficial structures. "The Konica Minolta ultrasound system provides everything a clinician needs.
