Canon Releases Aplio i600 Ultrasound with Enhanced Ergonomics

Canon Medical is unveiling its recently FDA cleared Aplio i600 ultrasound system. It’s intended for both diagnostic and interventional procedures, featuring a bunch of tools that make setup quick and intuitive. An image-guide interface helps to move the clinician through the imaging exam.

Canon touts the ergonomic design of the Aplio i600 that allows the console to be positioned in just about any way with respect to the patient. The cables were made extra flexible for easier manipulation of transducers.



As far as image quality, the same high-end transducers are used as on the Aplio Platinum Series and the company’s iPerformance technology works to minimize clutter, improve signal, and produce a crisp, high quality image. ApliPure+ compounding helps to improve contrast while lowering speckle noise. So-called superb micro-vascular imaging (SMI) helps to see blood flow through tiny vasculature that was previously very difficult to examine.
