Uncommon capability. Uncompromised performance.

The Antares system, premium edition delivers a new level of performance
and diagnostic accuracy through its unique array of advanced clinical
technologies, including high-quality 4D imaging with fourSight™ 4D
ultrasound imaging technology.

u Extend imaging technology

Increases diagnostic confidence
by providing additional color
Doppler information for technically

fourSight 4D
technology

u fourSight 4D technology provides

exceptional visualization of detailed
soft tissue in this obstetrical case
demonstrated by the definition of
eyelids, lips and nose of a third
trimester fetus

u Max-IP is used to clearly demonstrate

the fetal scapula and ribs

u Excellent contrast resolution clearly

differentiates the endometrium and
myometrium of the uterus

u Superior clarity and detail of

ovarian structures as demonstrated
by the excellent definition of both
cystic and septated areas

2D and Spectral
TEQ™ ultrasound
technologies
u TEQ technology provides single
button optimization of imaging
parameters. In this obstetrical case,
TEQ technology provides excellent
image uniformity

u Complex thyroid masses are clearly

demonstrated with optimization
by TEQ technology

uTEQ technology for spectral Doppler

provides single button optimization
of Doppler basline scale and
dynamic range to provide optimum
presentation as demonstrated in
this radial artery image

u In this abdominal aorta image,

TEQ technology for spectral Doppler
was used to optimize baseline,
scale and dynamic range

Clarify™ vascular
enhancement
technology
u Clarify VE technology reduces
noise within the hepatic vessels,
resulting in visualization of
hepatic vasculature

u Offers exceptional contrast

resolution, clear delineation of
borders, and micro-vascularity
as demonstrated in large
in-homogeneous thyroid mass

Cadence™ contrast
pulse sequencing
technology*
u Cadence CPS technology provides
excellent sensitivity to contrast
agents as demonstrated in this
image of a benign liver mass

u Contrast-agent-only display of
Cadence CPS technology is used to
demonstrate contrast enhancement
of a thyroid mass

SieClear™ multi-view
spatial compounding
and SieScape™
panoramic imaging
technologies

u SieClear compounding demonstrates

excellent detail and contrast
resolution as shown in this
third trimester fetal heart

u SieClear compounding may be

utilized during color Doppler
examinations. In this dual image,
SieClear compounding is used in
both the B-mode and color Doppler
image to enhance contrast resolution
in a small thyroid mass

u In this image of an atypical melanoma

of the forearm, both SieClear
compounding and SieScape imaging
were utilized. SieClear compounding
enhances the contrast resolution and
border definition of the melanoma

u SieScape imaging is used together

with SieClear compounding in this
image of the scrotum. Excellent detail
resolution and contrast resolution
is demonstrated throughout the
large field of view

Diagnose with greater confidence

The versatility of the Antares system, premium edition is expanded by its array
of wideband transducers. Hanafy Lens and Multi-D™ array transducer technologies
are designed to improve the focus of the slice thickness, resulting in
exceptional spatial and contrast resolution.

u Wider bandwidth improves spatial a b
