A new method in ultrasound known as “eSie Touch Elasticity Imaging” will be shown by Siemens Medical Solutions at the ECR 2007 (European Congress of Radiology) in Vienna, Austria. Physicians hope that this new method, which is an adjunct to regular breast ultrasound examinations, may provide a clinically relevant differentiation of benign and malignant tissue. The method is currently being tested in several studies with promising results and could potentially reduce the number of unnecessary breast biopsies. The software for this diagnostic advance is offered with the 5.0 release of the Acuson Antares ultrasound system, premium edition.
