The ultrasound beam is transmitted and received multi-directionally in real-time, and respective images are superimposed.
This process enables clear observation of lesions through the reduction of speckle noise and improvement of contrast resolution.
Hitachi's broadband technologies have succeeded in widening harmonic signals to the limit and in visualizing even low-frequency combination harmonics. This improves resolution and sensitivity at depth.
The HI REZ function performs high-speed calculations to extract structures and to enhance tissues. This improves the contrast resolution and S/N.

A single crystal is adopted as a piezoelectric element. In the ultrasound probe, the single crystal realizes higher sensitivity and broader band width than those of the piezoceramics.
