ARIETTA 850 produces images of exceptional clarity by carefully shaping its sonographic pulses and then precisely managing the resulting echo data throughout the entire signal-processing chain: from probe to final image display. This process, Pure Symphonic Imaging, ensures that only the purest data is used to fuel the advanced imaging capabilities of the 850.
4G CMUT Probe
While ultrasound technology has evolved drastically over the last half- century, probe technology has seen little change as researchers sought transducers that could improve on the performance of piezoelectric material. ARIETTA 850 makes this technological leap, supporting the world’s first fully-featured Capacitive Micro-machined Ultrasound Transducer. The SML44 probe contains thousands of high-sensitivity, wide-bandwidth CMUT cells that are printed onto a silicon substrate using techniques first developed in the semi-conductor industry. The resulting operating bandwidth of 2-22MHz, enables the probe to perform the work of multiple conventional probes.
eFocusing
eFocusing employs the 850’s advanced variable beamformer to perform real-time focusing along the entire depth of the image. The technique obviates the need to set or adjust focal zones, automatically providing optimal focusing from near to far-field.
Active Backend
Powerful computing and image-processing hardware manages the acquired ultrasound signal, performing countless data-enhancement algorithms like Acoustic Noise Reduction and Near field Noise Reduction, while maintaining high frame rates.
23” LCD Display
The 850’s 23” display delivers WXGA++ resolution with tilt and swivel capabilities for easy viewing. The height adjustment and swivel functions together with the operation panel.
ARIETTA 850 Workflow
The 850’s 22-inch display uses an Organic LED monitor to deliver exceptional image fidelity. Because the monitor technology does not require backlighting, true-black can be more accurately represented, resulting in greater image contrast.
Healthcare providers continue to expect more efficiency from their Sonographers; and ARIETTA 850 is designed to help facilitate these advances in workflow while offering an ergonomic work environment to safeguard users from the fatigue and long-term injury that can result from repetitive scanning.
