At this year's United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW), October 24-28 in Barcelona, Hitachi presents its new ultrasound platform ARIETTA Endoscopic.

Ultrasound diagnosis is an indispensable tool for a variety of clinical applications and users have high expectations that challenge modern, powerful ultrasound platforms. With the new brand ARIETTA , Hitachi presents a new solution that meets these demands.

Superb Image Quality

Based on its novel technologies, ARIETTA is able to provide high-resolution anatomical detail. This has been achieved by the latest developments in the acquisition and detection of ultrasound signals, improved signal processing as well as outstanding image quality and display.

Using a highly innovative multi-layer crystal and a new type of smart connector technology, the versatile range of probes achieves a very high degree of sensitivity with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, and in addition is characterized by excellent durability and convenient usability.

Advanced and flexibly adjusted algorithms of the emitted and received ultrasound signals allow precision control of the ultrasound beam, guaranteeing the highest spatial resolution to ensure ARIETTA's premium image resolution. ARIETTA is equipped with the fastest, ultrasound-specific digital signal processors, supporting a wide variety of application-related features and advanced data processing.

The innovative ARIETTA platform together with its high-grade IPS-Pro LCD monitor technology, ensure that Real-time Tissue Elastography (RTE) and Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound are displayed with the finest picture quality, clarity and precision (High Sensitive CE-EUS) within the field of flexible Endoscopic Ultrasound.

Hitachi & Pentax Medical

Perfectly aligned diagnostic medical imaging solutions.

Besides an extensive number of user-specific ultrasound transducers, the Pentax EUS ultrasound scopes are now also compatible with the ARIETTA ultrasound platform.

The successful partnership of Hitachi and Pentax Medical in endoscopic ultrasound has grown over the last two decades. Ever since, it has created exceptional image quality and a broad variation of innovative technologies through complementary, highly specialized expertise. Our exclusive portfolio of linear and radial ultrasound endoscopes for diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic procedures is continuously developing. In our research and development centres, the Pentax ultrasound endoscopes have been precisely aligned with the sophisticated Hitachi ultrasound systems and their most innovative features; meeting clinician and patient needs never before addressed.

With the integrated system technologies working in synergy, we think and act together for current and future developments in gastroenterology.

With the High Tissue Reduction Mode - TrC (Amplitude Modulation) - which enables ARIETTA's reliable and accurate contrast imaging - a new era in endoscopic ultrasound has begun - providing
