Aplio 500 vs Aplio 500 platinum
RE: Ultrasound Systems Report Post
Mainly software but some revisions on boards. The Aplio 500 Platinum added new imaging tools and features to the Aplio 500 which allowed providers to consolidate lines of care onto a single platform. Some of the upgrades were:
-
Beam - A new technique that improves needle visualization during ultrasound-guided procedures
-
Shear Wave Elastography - A new tool to noninvasively measure tissue stiffness of the liver and potentially reduce expensive biopsies
-
Superb Micro-Vascular Imaging (SMI) – A new tool to capture low-velocity blood flow without the need for contrast agents or more invasive modalities
-
MicroPure - Provides better visualisation of breast microcalcifications compared to gray scale imaging
-
Ability to recognize 47 different ultrasound transducers. Among those are 10 different intra-operative and biopsy enhancement transducers that improve clinical productivity in Interventional Radiology.
Hope this helps. - Cipher

Beam is a new feature in platinum. My confusion is that shear wave elastography, SMI and micropure already there in aplio 500, have they been improved in platinum.
