Samsung today introduced its V7 ultrasound system, having recently picked up FDA 510(k) clearance for commercial use.

Danvers, Massachusetts–based Boston Imaging — the U.S. headquarters of Samsung’s digital radiography and ultrasound business — unveiled the platform. It designed the ultrasound system to provide a range of clinical applications, improving the patient and user experience.

“There is a continued demand on imaging professionals to deliver high-quality results in an efficient amount of time, without compromising patient care,” said David Legg, VP, Head of Boston Imaging. “We’re proud to help address this by supplying one more solution that helps make clinical assessments effortless and treatment precise.”

V7 includes enhanced image clarity through Samsung Crystal Architecture. It features the combination of CrystalBeam beamforming, CrystalLive image processing and S-Vue Single Crystal Transducers. Altogether, this helps the V7 produce clear, uniform, high-resolution images.

Samsung reengineered the V7 design with workflow, performance and functionality top of mind. It includes EzExam+ andEzCompare to minimize steps and keystrokes. It also applies an eco-friendly resin cover to cover the air vent exterior, plus reusable eco paper packaging from recycled paper.

The company also equipped V7 with a range of Intelligent Assist features for general imaging and women’s health ultrasounds.
