SuperSonic Imagine Signs with Canon MJ

SuperSonic Imagine announced that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Canon Marketing Japan Inc. (Canon MJ) to develop the Japanese market.

After receiving CE approval and 510K clearance from the FDA for its Aixplorer MultiWave Ultrasound System, SuperSonic Imagine, has developed commercial networks on 4 continents and in more than thirty countries. SuperSonic Imagine is honored to announce that Canon MJ has signed on as the exclusive distributor for the Aixplorer in Japan.

The Aixplorer is the only commercially available system of its kind with MultiWave Technology, which is based upon the interaction between conventional longitudinal waves and shear waves in tissue. The system consists of an all software-based architecture which provides both impeccable B-mode images and, for the first time, uses shear waves (ShearWave Elastography) to quantify true tissue stiffness or elasticity information in kilopascals. With MultiWave Technology, the Aixplorer brings clinicians significantly enhanced real-time diagnostic information that is quantitative and reproducible.

Aixplorer’s SonicSoftware, the power behind MultiWave Technology, has benefited from a combination of the most advanced technology in the graphic video industry and the latest generation of multi-core processors to provide a complete ultrasound system with enhanced speed, accuracy and flexibility. The effect of this innovation is superior B-mode image clarity and an open door to new imaging possibilities, such as ShearWave™ Elastography. Medicexchange.com
