The ACUSON SC2000 volume imaging system offers a number of new workflow enhancements, including individually customizable workflow protocols and knowledge-based workflow applications. SieScan Workflow Protocols streamline exam workflows, both on the user level and in the entire lab, bringing both highest reproducibility and quality standards to the volume imaging workflow. In addition, the system features pharmacologic Rapid Stress volume stress echo capabilities which automatically capture all walls of the left ventricle in one single heartbeat, without the need of ECG gating or multiple window acquisition at peak stress. This results in faster acquisition time and comprehensive review of all wall segments in one single capture, leading to potentially improved accuracy and time savings.

The ACUSON SC2000 system features knowledge-based workflow software that uses learned pattern recognition technology and an expert database of real clinical cases to support advanced echocardiography applications. The system recognizes anatomical patterns and landmarks performing automatic measurements to streamline clinical workflow. This includes automatic reference plane extraction from the full-volume cardiac capture dataset, automated full-volume contouring of ejection fraction, and automated measurement of imaging modes.
To further enhance efficiency, the offline workstation enables reporting, as well as complete review and processing of the acquired volumes. Besides using the latest technology advancements and applications to improve efficiency and workflow, Siemens has also addressed the ergonomics of the system to meet and exceed today's recommended ergonomic guidelines to reduce work-related stress injuries and to accommodate the varied work environment of sonographers.
Volume Images from within the Heart
Siemens will also be featuring the world's first volume intra-cardiac echocardiography catheter, the ACUSON AcuNav V ultrasound catheter. With real-time volumetric information from inside the heart, the new volume catheter will improve therapeutic ablation procedures and other electrophysiology (EP) applications facilitating workflow and improving performance in the EP lab.
"It's like using a flashlight within the human heart," said John Davidson, director of cardiovascular ultrasound solutions, Siemens Healthcare. "The ACUSON AcuNav V catheter provides physicians with high-resolution volumetric ultrasound information about the anatomy and the tools used during EP procedures, reducing the need for fluoroscopic visualization to ultimately improve patient care and increase safety within the EP lab."
