Cleveland provider adopts Toshiba ultrasound systems

University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC) in Cleveland has purchased a suite of systems from Toshiba America Medical Systems, including an Aplio MX, two Xario XGs and two Aplio XG systems.

The Tustin, Calif.-based company said the ultrasound systems allow the hospital to perform patient exams including organ biopsies; intraoperative imaging; and thyroid, lung and pancreas exams. UHCMC also utilizes Toshiba’s Precision Imaging multi-resolution signal-processing technology on its ultrasound systems, which allows users to see clinical detail and includes information from adjacent lines to enhance the amount of information obtained.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
