Flex Focus 1202-1 Mobile Ultrasound

 
 
   
Times have changed, and so has mobile ultrasound

The image quality on the Flex Focus is like nothing you have ever seen on a mobile system.

The Flex Focus features:
  •  IQPAC™ technology for speckle reduction and better organ definition. IQPAC technology optimizes ultrasound images through Enhanced Tissue Definition (ETD) and Angular
    Compound Imaging
  • (ACI). Reducing ultrasound speckle enhances the anatomically correct continuous borders of organs and improves the ability to clearly visualize margins of lesions.

    The Flex Focus and IQPAC technology because Image is Everything.
 
    Interested in mobile ultrasound? The Flex Focus is a fully featured, mobile ultrasound solution.
     
    •  Superior ultrasound images on a 19” monitor. No mobile system on the market today has this large a monitor – with an image quality to match.
    •  Small, lightweight system that goes easily to point-of-care. Flex Focus is small enough in size to  physically fit into any clinical setting, even smaller, private practice offices.
    •  Sealed control panel for easier and faster cleaning and disinfection.
    •  Three transducer sockets: two array transducers and one mechanical, for easy access to specialized transducers.

    Flex Focus’ ground-breaking design signals success for not only the doctor, or medical professional, who uses it but also for the patient who sees it.
    Ultrasound scanners do not need to be unsophisticated or clumsy

Take your practice with you anywhere. The Flex Focus is lightweight, small, goes with you to the point-of-care.

A good overall traveller
Imagine what you can do. Flex Focus loves to go wherever you go. On the wall, on your desk, in your car and even on an airplane. With the Flex Focus, take your practice with you anywhere.

Conventional examinations are not
able to provide the details needed
to understand:

 
 
 
 
 
Normal Anatomy

Normal anorectal anatomy of men and women is different
in a few important ways. While the length of the internal
sphincter is the same, understanding the differences is
crucial to being able to understand normal anatomy and
identify external sphincter tears in women.

See
more ultrasound image examples of normal anatomy for both men and women.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Anal Tears


Anal tears are mainly the result of an obstetric or iatrogenic injury. They are found either in the external anal sphincter, internal anal sphincter or a combination of both.


On the ultrasound image scarring is either hypo- or hyperechoic. Internal anal sphincter tears are breaks in the normal hypoechogenic ring. Once a tear is identified, it needs to be classified according to the radial and longitudinal extension.

 
 
 
Fistulas

3D imaging of fistulas offers a significant advantage over conventional 2D ultrasound. Identifying the fistulas internal opening and following its tracts are nearly impossible with 2D imaging.

A high resolution 3D data acquisition takes approx. 30 seconds with the 2052 transducer. If an external opening is identified, some doctors introduce hydrogen peroxide H2O2 (3–5%) into the opening immediately before acquiring a 3D data set. During this short period, the H2O2 enhances the fistula tracts so that they appear as bright white structures on the ultrasound image. Aerated and diluted lidocaine gel may also be introduced in
an external opening as an ultrasound enhancing medium

 
 
 
Rectal Cancer

Ultrasound studies show all layers of the rectal wall, represented in the image as 4 hyperechoic and 3 hypoechoic structures
(assuming that the layer line between the inner circular and the other longitudinal layers are seen in the muscularis propria).

In the anatomical representation of the recturm on the left ,
the layers represent:

 

1 the hyperechoic interface between the waterfilled balloon and the mucosa
2 the hypoechoic deep mucosa (lamina propria and muscularis mucosae)
3 the hyperechoic submucosa
4 the hypoechoic muscularis propria (in some cases seen as 2 layers: inner circular and outer longitudinal layer)
5 the hyperechoic interface between the rectal wall and the perirectal fat tissue
