Liver assessment is where the quantification application has the longest published record, with shear wave speed values taken at a chosen depth and repeated across several acquisitions. Whether such an assessment is indicated, and what a value means alongside serology, history and imaging findings, remains with the performing and reporting clinicians.
Breast and thyroid work uses a high-frequency linear transducer, with stiffness mapping offered as one input alongside conventional grey-scale and Doppler assessment.
General abdominal imaging covering liver, biliary, renal and general abdominal assessment runs on a curved array transducer.
Obstetric and gynaecological work runs on curved array and endocavity transducers where those are among the ones supplied, with syngo Auto OB measurements available on the platform where licensed.
Small parts and musculoskeletal imaging covering superficial structures, tendons and joints uses the high-frequency linear transducer.
Vascular assessment runs on the same linear transducer with Doppler capability according to the configuration supplied.
Services already performing high volumes of abdominal work gain most from an elasticity capability held inside the general list, since it removes a separate booking from the pathway.
