Easy to operate, highly accessible, fast and mobile – these are the characteristics that make ultrasound the No. 1 used modality in diagnostic imaging and the reason why leading healthcare providers continue to invest in innovation to drive workflow improvements. Siemens Medical Solutions continues to lead the way in innovating workflow solutions for their customers expanding the use of ultrasound across the continuum of care. New software applications supplement the ultrasound portfolio as for example syngo Velocity Vector Imaging (VVI). It offers clinicians a new way to assess the heart’s contraction mechanics using ultrasound information to visualize contraction and relaxation mechanics.
