SuperSonic Imagine (Aix-en-Provence, France) received clearance from the FDA to bring its Aixplorer ultrasound system to the U.S. The device sports the company’s MultiWave Technology that reconstructs images from the interference between longitudinal waves and shear waves within tissue. It is also able to provide tissue stiffness or elasticity info during an exam.
According to SuperSonic, the Aixplorer is the only system available that can “generate, capture and compute shear wave velocity resulting in the bi-dimensional display of true tissue elasticity.”
