Compound Pulse Wave Generator

Programmable waveform transmission allows for intentional control of the amplitude, form and frequency of transmitted sound waves, independently of transducer characteristics. Ultrasound is transmitted with the pulse waveforms and frequency components suitable for individual purpose, thus resulting in higher quality images.
Broadband Harmonics

Broadband harmonics uses the broadband and large amplitude transmission typically represented by compound impulse waveform transmission. The technique of removing the fundamental wave components by phase modulation is used. Compared with phase-modulated harmonics (based on differences between two frequencies elsewhere used), the broadband harmonics assure a high and wide frequency distribution and generates images with straightforward sounds.
Adaptive Image Processing (AIP)

Using the Adaptive Image Processing (AIP), speckle noises are reduced while maintaining the clear boundary of a tissue as depicted by the reception signals. In addition, different tissues are displayed at different levels of brightness with AIP.
eFLOW - New High-definition Blood Flow Imaging Mode

eFLOW is a high-definition blood flow imaging mode with drastically improved spatial and temporal resolution. In eFLOW it is possible to display blood flow information with higher sensitivity and resolution than with conventional methods. This enables detailed observation of fine blood vessels such as those inside a tumor, which were difficult to display separately in conventional methods. eFLOW has a resolving power that can separately display the hepatic artery running alongside the portal vein.
eTRACKING - Comprehensive Assessment of Early Atherosclerosis by Ultrasound

Cardiovascular diseases can be prevented if atherosclerosis is detected before morphologic changes such as plaque and wall thickening occur on the arterial walls. Prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related diseases are increasingly important today, and so the role of the ultrasound diagnostic system is not only to observe the morphologic changes but also to perform functional assessment. Aloka realized functional assessment of arteries by developing our unique eTRACKING technology.
Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD)

FMD - Endothelial Function Assessment

Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be the first stage of atherosclerosis. FMD analysis is generally known as an effective means to evaluate endothelial dysfunction non-invasively and said to be useful for early detection of atherosclerosis and determining the efficacy of treatment.
Wave Intensity - The new Index of Cardiovascular Circulation Dynamics

The heart and the arterial system constantly interact with each other through forward travelling waves and reflected waves. Wave Intensity (WI) is calculated based on changes in blood pressure and blood flow speed obtained at an arbitrary point in a circulatory system.
Bringing Advanced Ultrasound Technologies to the EUS Physician

Electronic Radial Technology for Diagnostic EUS

Olympus and ALOKA have developed the world’s first 360° electronic radial scanning echoendoscopes providing panoramic imaging for complete visualisation of the digestive organ.  By utilising an electronic array this endoscope design provides access to advanced imaging options including Contrast Harmonic Echo as well as full Doppler functionality which aids orientation in the pancreato-biliary region.
