Liver Ultrasound

Esaote Liver Ultrasound technologies provide a complete solution to assist with the detection, monitoring and treatment of hepatic lesions and clinical liver conditions, with a multiparametric approach to support integrated diagnosis and therapy guidance.
Esaote provides an easy and intuitive liver ultrasound workflow to enhance your performance and confidence, even for the most challenging patient, with automatic tools such as eScan, easyMode and easyColor.

An ultrasound examination may be the first screening conducted to evaluate the condition of the liver, other than blood tests. This technique can be used in association with other imaging modalities, such as CT or MRI, to obtain further information.

Ultrasound is particularly useful for differentiating solid masses from fluid-filled ones, and can also evaluate diffuse liver diseases, such as fatty liver or hepatitis. Nowadays, extended connectivity and the multimodality approach are opening new horizons in radiology imaging, where ultrasound devices may play a central role in Cross-Modality Imaging.

Designing its devices by focusing on the customer experience, Esaote has developed smart tools to optimise the image quality in real-time. EasyMode and easyColor automatically adjust the B-mode and color Doppler parameters according to the scanned area and the type of image chosen by the doctor.
Other automatic optimisation tools, such as eScan and eDoppler support you in more rapidly acquiring images with optimal quality, particularly in challenging patients. XCrystal technology developed by Esaote on the convex array enables ultra clarity in very deep and difficult areas while delivering outstanding resolution.
Combining the expertise of Esaote in liver ultrasound through signal management and the zero-click workflow might increase your confidence in the daily screening.

The characterisation of the lesions is essential in the global approach to follow-up and therapy options. 

• microV: latest Esaote technology for microvascularisation visualisation with an elevated degree of sensitivity even in very small vessels and with slow flow detection. It enables advanced hemodynamic evaluation of lesions even in deep areas of the liver, thanks to exclusive filters that enhance only blood signals.
• CnTI™ Clear (Contrast Tuned Imaging): Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) Imaging of Esaote, CnTI™ Clear, detects organ perfusion through contrast agent enhancement to support liver and abdominal lesion characterisations. Based on cutting-edge software, CnTI™ Clear is able to detect low levels of microbubbles, especially in the early arterial phase, while it will ensure their longevity, to give you accurate information on how the lesion is reacting.
• Q-Pack: additionally, Q-Pack is an advanced feature that monitors and quantifies, in graph form and as a function of time, the hemodynamic information detected within a selected ROI, using methods such as CEUS or Doppler Mode.

Virtual Navigator (VNav), as the most advanced Esaote Fusion Imaging technology supported by Artificial Intelligence, is opening new horizons in cross-modality liver imaging. Virtual Navigator provides a very simple and active coupling of ultrasound examination with a second Dicom modality imaging (MRI/CT/Pet-CT) dataset as a reference. It enables real-time navigation to benefit from both modalities to increase confidence and accuracy throughout interventional procedures on the liver.
