“I am proud to be one of the first physicians in Italy to provide this superior imaging to our patients with chronic liver disease seen in Internal Medicine & Gastroenterology. This technology will allow fast and precise stiffness evaluation of organs such as the liver,” said Prof. Antonio Gasbarrini, Director of Complex Operative Unit of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology at the The Agostino Gemelli Teaching Hospital.
“We believe the extensive clinical data demonstrating the excellent diagnostic performance of SuperSonic Imagine’s ShearWave Elastography for assessing chronic liver disease significantly contributed to the Universita’ Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore’s decision to adopt the Aixplorer Ultrasound System and we are honored to work with one of the top hospitals in Italy,” commented Tom Egelund, President and Chief Executive Officer of SuperSonic Imagine.

About SuperSonic Imagine
Founded in 2005 and based in Aix-en-Provence (France), SuperSonic Imagine is a company specializing in medical imaging. The company designs, develops and markets a revolutionary ultrasound system, Aixplorer®, with an UltraFast™ platform that can acquire images 200 times faster than conventional ultrasound systems. Aixplorer® is the only system that can image two types of waves: ultrasound waves ensure excellent image quality and shear waves, which allow physicians to visualize and analyze the stiffness of tissue in a real-time, reliable, reproducible and non-invasive manner. This innovation, ShearWave™ Elastography, significantly improves the detection and characterization of numerous pathologies in several applications including breast, thyroid, liver and prostate. SuperSonic Imagine has been granted regulatory clearances for the commercialization of Aixplorer® in the main global markets. Over the past years, SuperSonic Imagine enjoyed the backing of several prestigious investors, among which Auriga Partners, Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners, Bpifrance, Omnes Capital and NBGI.
