Hitachi Healthcare Americas to Introduce the “Lisendo 880” at ASE 2017, the New Premium 2D and 3D Cardiovascular Ultrasound System by Hitachi

CLEVELAND, OHIO (JUNE 1ST, 2017) Premium cardiac and vascular imaging rises to a new standard as Hitachi Healthcare Americas introduces the new premium 2D and 3D cardiovascular ultrasound system, the LISENDO 880, at the American Society of Echocardiography 2017 in Baltimore, Maryland on June 3rd, 2017.

Since their inception, today’s ultrasound systems have progressed to become essential medical devices for all levels of cardiovascular care. The LISENDO 880 is Hitachi’s new premium 2D and 3D diagnostic ultrasound solution for cardiologists that is redefining the vision for cardiac ultrasound by providing exceptional clinical performance with state-of-the-art features and analytics. Hitachi released the world’s first diagnostic ultrasound system in 1960 and the first Color Doppler ultrasound system in 1983. Continuing this history of innovation, Hitachi introduced Vector Flow Mapping (VFM) analysis using ultrasound in 2012. Hitachi stands out as a company dedicated to providing unique solutions to echocardiography’s clinical challenges. The LISENDO 880 maintains Hitachi’s tradition of providing exceptionally innovative ultrasound for cardiovascular care.

The LISENDO 880 was developed around the most important needs for cardiovascular imaging:

Pure Image Technology The advanced architecture of the  LISENDO 880 offers state of the art probe technology for 2D and 3D imaging, a high performance OLED display, premium image optimization parameters such as eFocus and Pure Symphonic Architecture to capture the subtlest of changes and produce the highest-quality “sound”.

Seamless Workflow The LISENDO 880 was designed to provide maximum scanning comfort, along with state-of-the-art technology to help you complete your exams more easily. The systems flexible positioning, including an adjustable panel height and a four-point articulating arm, support comfortable operation while the operation panel enables ergonomic function adjustment as a part of our intuitive user interface. The Smart Cardiac Measurements provide automated analysis to enhance examination efficiency. The LISENDO 880 delivers seamless workflow users expect in a premium ultrasound system.

Your Application The LISENDO 880 is Hitachi’s most advanced ultrasound system offering premium 2D and 3D cardiovascular applications. Features such as dynamic 3D evaluation, LVeFlow, Dual Gate Doppler, Eyeball EF, 2DTT, and FAM, provide solutions for the most difficult clinical challenges. Additionally, applications like VFM, eTracking and Wave Intensity move hemodynamic evaluations beyond the basics.

Ron Blankstein, MD, professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart disease in non-cardiac CT exams.

Eleven medical societies have signed on to a consensus statement aimed at standardizing imaging for suspected cardiovascular infections.

Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."
