Samsung Ultrasound WS80A with Elite

The premium dimension. WS80A with Elite delivers powerful imaging performance with the advanced S-Vue transducer and extended 5D capabilities (5D Heart, 5D CNS, and 5D Follicle). S-Vue stands for Samsung’s smart transducer technology, which supports broader bandwidth and higher sensitivity.

Elite is a package of leading technologies for upgraded systems.

Premium women’s health ultrasound for elite diagnosis

Making a precise diagnosis on patients is critical for physicians, and WS80A with Elite is designed to satisfy those needs, even for the complex women’s health exams. With a stepped-up 3D imaging engine, physicians get clearer and more detailed images that are both life-like and void of artifact. Furthermore, advanced S-Vue transducer technology provides enhanced vision of the scanned areas, ensuring confidence in your clinical decisions.

Crystal clear image for diagnostic accuracy

• Hybrid imaging engine evo: Combines optimal 2D, 3D and color image quality with a fast frame rate to provide more powerful data processing and noise reduction capabilities. This advanced technology provides clearer 2D and more detailed 3D images, helping to improve diagnostic accuracy.
• S-Vue transducer: The S-Vue transducer (CV1-8A, CA1-7A) provides broader bandwidth and higher sensitivity. This allows delivery of high image resolution even with technically challenging patients. In addition, the ergonomically designed and lightweight transducer enables users to experience less fatigue. In particular, CV1-8A is approximately 30% lighter than the conventional Samsung transducer.
• Wide angle endocavity transducer: The new wide angle endocavity transducer offers field-of-view up to 210° for the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases in gynecology examinations. It is especially useful for viewing the left-right symmetric model of fallopian tubes and ovaries.
• ClearVision™: Offers speckle reduction, edge enhancement and contrast enhancement for clear and natural images. In addition, ClearVision™ improves on previous technology with application-specific optimization and advanced temporal resolution in live scan mode.
• S-Flow™: A sophisticated color Doppler technology with greater sensitivity that can help to detect even the peripheral blood vessels. It enables accurate diagnosis when blood flow examination is especially difficult.

5D advanced diagnostic solutions

WS80A with Elite’s 5D total solutions bring exceptional productivity in exam workflow. 5D Solutions allow utilization of the volume data, providing diagnostic planes and measurements automatically. Also, they provide useful information to evaluate various fetal conditions or women’s health issues.

• 5D Heart (Fetal heart examination): Allows interrogation of a STIC (spatiotemporal image correlation) volume dataset using “intelligent navigation” technology, which automatically generates nine standard fetal echocardiography views simultaneously in a single template.
• 5D CNS (Fetal brain measurement): Offers 6 measurements (BPD, HC, OFD, Vp, TCD, CM) from 3 transverse planes of a fetal brain which are the key indicators for intuitive fetal brain visualization. It improves throughput with only a 2 click operation.
• 5D LB (Fetal long bone detection): Allows easy detection and measurement of fetal long bones from volume data, with intuitive visualization of the fetal structures. Evaluation of fetal condition becomes more efficient as 5D LB improves measurement accuracy while reducing exam time.
• 5D NT (Nuchal translucency measurement): Operator dependency is reduced for the first trimester fetal nuchal translucency measurements with NT measurement solutions. 5D NT applies Realistic Vue™ to the automatically detected mid-sagittal view for intuitive confirmation.
• 5D Follicle (Follicle measurement): Sonographic parameters have been proven to be effective indicators when assessing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). WS80A with Elite’s 5D Follicle finds follicles automatically and measures the size and the status of each follicle to provide useful information.

Realistic image rendering and Samsung’s enhanced sharing technology

• Realistic Vue™: Displays high resolution 3D anatomy with exceptional detail and realistic depth perception. User selectable light source direction creates intricately graduated shadows for better defined anatomical structures.
• Hello Mom: An Android smartphone application for pregnant mothers that can be wirelessly connected to WS80A with Elite to download fetal ultrasound images and movies. Mothers can then easily share the ultrasound images or movies with others, and they can also keep track of their babies’ growth using Hello Mom. (Hello Mom is not an application for diagnosis.)
• 5D Cine: WS80A with Elite provides 3D stereo images through Samsung 3D Smart TV. Mothers can enjoy these realistic images at home.

Efficiency in diagnosis

• E-Breast™ (ElastoScan™ for breast): E-Breast technology calculates the strain ratio between the selected target and surrounding tissues. E-Breast™ requires only one ROI to be selected by the user. This simplified process of selecting one ROI enhances consistency and reduces the chance of error by not manually selecting the surrounding tissue region.
• E-Thyroid™ (ElastoScan™ for thyroid): E-Thyroid™ technology provides more objective assessment of thyroid lesions by incorporating a useful index for the suspicious area. E-Thyroid™ images are generated using pulsations from the adjacent carotid artery. It thereby eliminates the need for manual transducer compression for greater consistency.
• ElastoScan™ for gynecology: ElastoScan™ helps to diagnose benign gynecological disorders and to differentiate fibroids and adenomyosis. Therefore, ElastoScan™ is a promising new technique in the field of gynecology.
• MPI: Enables semi-automatic measurement of the fetal myocardial performance index (MPI) to reduce operator dependency in MPI measurements. MPI also improves workflow during fetal heart exams with its simple, one-click operation.

Stress-free performance

With design aspects such as touch screen and digital TGC, WS80A with Elite reduces stress and labor when operating the system.

• 23-inch LED monitor: The 23-inch screen LED monitor offers higher quality color image representation as well as higher resolution compared to conventional monitors.
• 10.1-inch touch screen: The 10.1-inch touch screen is highly sensitive, allowing for easy input to reduce users’ stress from repetitively pressing buttons.
• Adjustable control panel: Smooth up and down lift allows you to adjust the system to your preferred height without straining.
• Gel warmer: The two-level adjustable gel warmer maintains ultrasound gel at a comfortable temperature from 30°C to 39°C.
• Transducer cable hangers: Users can arrange the transducer cables neatly on the two hangers on either side of the system.
• Additional endocavity transducer holder: An additional endocavity transducer holder on the system prevents stressful situations where users accidentally knock over an endocavity transducer which does not fit in standard transducer holders.
