WAYNE, N.J. and CHICAGO, Dec. 3,
2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Konica Minolta Medical Imaging
announced today the launch of the Sonimage P3 hand-held ultrasound
device. Sonimage P3 represents the first product in the company's
business strategy to accelerate growth and expand solutions in the
global ultrasound business. The Sonimage P3 brings advanced imaging
capabilities right to the patient or bedside. It can help
clinicians to visually assess a patient efficiently and immediately
for a rapid diagnosis that can improve health at an affordable
price. Konica Minolta is showcasing the Sonimage P3 in booth 4753
at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), in Chicago December
1-6.
"This new product aligns with Konica Minolta's business strategy
to continue growing and transforming into a world-class provider
and market leader in primary imaging and digital solutions," says
David Widmann, President and COO,
Konica Minolta Medical Imaging. "Konica Minolta is accelerating and
expanding our presence in primary imaging, reinforcing our
company's commitment to delivering state-of-the-art medical imaging
solutions that enhance patient diagnosis. Ultrasound is an
important market segment in the fulfillment of this
strategy/vision."
Sonimage P3 is an easy-to-use personal ultrasound device that
can be easily carried in a lab coat or worn like a stethoscope for
real-time patient diagnosis at the point of care—in triage
situations, outpatient/office, or on any hospital bed floor.
Providing high image quality, this durable palm-sized device
weights less than 14 ounces and offers B-mode, M-mode, Doppler, and
simple to access presets.
Ideal for a broad range of applications—including
fetal/pregnancy assessments, and abdominal, lung and pelvic
examinations—the Sonimage P3 can be used as a stand-alone
ultrasound system or plugged into a Windows-based PC, laptop or
tablet for the flexibility of a larger display. All Sonimage P3
devices come standard with Sonimage View software for online
imaging and offline review and storage.
The device also features a high resolution touchscreen, choice
of interchangeable transducers, and a 4GB data card that stores
10,000+ images. As with many of Konica Minolta's solutions, the
Sonimage P3 is upgradeable for investment protection.
