Executive Summary
Acuson (US) unveiled V4C microCase, its new cardiac imaging transducer, at the American Society of Echocardiography, in Toronto, Canada (June 14th-16th). The transducer is intended for transthoracic stress-test imaging. It switches between three frequencies - 4, 3.5 and 2.5 MHz - which allows it to image adults with tight rib spacing, by reducing shadowing. Acuson says the ergonomics of the V4C make it easier to manipulate and a smaller rounder tip makes switching between views much simpler.
