As the latest addition to the HI VISIoN series of ultrasound systems the HI VISIoN Ascendus benefits from modalities such as Hitachi Realtime Tissue Elastography (HI-RTE) for imaging tissue stiffness, and dynamic Contrast Harmonic Imaging (dCHI) technology, that enhances visualisation of tissue microvasculature after the injection of an ultrasound contrast agent. Features that are part of the standard package offered with the HI VISIoN Ascendus support new technologies and enable it to display 4D realtime tissue elastography images where volume data is captured in real time and the information on tissue stiffness is transformed into images by means of high-speed signal processing.
