It visualizes the distortion of tissues and provides stiffness information. This is a step to approach the differential diagnosis of malignant/benign tumors.
In an Elastography image, the strain ratio at any two locations is quantified. For example, in a breast application, the ratio of strain in fat tissue between target lesion (Fat Lesion Ratio) can be obtained. It is applicable to the research of tissue characterization and so on.
Real-time Virtual Sonography (RVS) is a function to extract a MPR image corresponding to the ultrasound image being observed from the volume data of CT, MR and US. As a treatment support function under the ultrasound guide as well as a training system of ultrasound examinations, it can be utilized for various applications.
The Dual Doppler that can detect two sample points allows combination with not only the blood flow Doppler but also the tissue Doppler. This allows to measure E/e’ that is one of left ventricle diastolic function indices or the measurement of inflow/outflow and so on in the same heartbeat.

This recognizes myocardium in a pixel unit and tracks its movement. The application range is further expanded from calculations of %WT to dynamics studies.
This is a function to display %WT in color for every segment with the 2D Tissue Tracking. The dynamics of myocardium can be simply grasped.
This can display the variation of a cardiac volume as a graph by automatically tracking the movement of the atrium wall. The measurements on the graph and the output of tracking results can be outputted.
SonoVue
The Contrast function uses WPI (Wideband Pulse Inversion) Hitachi's advanced and allows good sensitivity of staining. It can be used with not only MTI (Microbubble Trace Imaging) ,that enhances the visibility of fine blood flow, but also the alternate mode, that displays a normal B-mode and a contrasted image at the same time, thus it is a function that can play a role in various clinical applications such as the judgment of treatment effect and so on.
