The Principality of Asturias Health Service (Sespa) has received 54 state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners 1.7 million euros. Following the award of the Diagximag public contract in April 2024, the delivery of the equipment was signed on September 30. The ultrasound scanners, which were delivered during the months of July and August, represent a very important step forward in the modernization and digitalization of the healthcare sector in the Asturian region.
How are Diagximag's state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners different?
The company of Asturian origin, Diagximag4D Médica, a subsidiary of 4D Médica and part of the group Substrate AIhas about state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners which offers a complete imaging solution. These Samsung-branded medical devices combine advanced technology and precision imaging of the different organs, tissues and internal structures of the body. It is an essential tool for diagnosing medical conditions, monitoring the health and development of the fetus during pregnancy, and for guiding certain medical procedures, such as biopsies and tissue extraction. Below, we analyze the main features that define Diagximag ultrasound scanners:
- Equipment includes artificial intelligence and remote controlOne of the innovations of Diagximag ultrasound scanners is that they allow ultrasound scans to be performed using artificial intelligence. They differ in that they include the Sonosync function that allows radiologists to control the equipment completely remotely. In other words, from their own home, they can diagnose patients as if they were present at the medical center.
- High image resolutionThey have a very good image resolution and incorporate Doppler technology, so that tissues and blood flow can be visualized with total clarity. This allows to visualize detailed images and perform a complete diagnosis of the area of the body to be analyzed.
- Intuitive design for multiple uses in the clinical settingIn addition to their multiple functions, ultrasound scanners have an intuitive design that facilitates their use in different clinical environments. A fundamental aspect when it comes to increasing the efficiency of medical diagnostics.
What advantages and innovations do they offer in diagnostic imaging?
The ultrasounds are one of the most widely used medical techniques today, because it is a convenient, inexpensive, safe and non-invasive test. The medical devices used to perform this highly demanded test are ultrasound scanners. They have a rod-shaped toolcalled transducerwhich is responsible for detecting the waves produced inside the body. Through the use of a special gel which is applied to the skin of the area to be examined and the use of a computerThe images are displayed on the screen, which provide the information on fabrics.
The innovative technology based on the application of AI not only enhances the medical diagnostic experience, but also offers a major progress in telemedicine. In this way, the following can be realized rapid diagnostics no matter where the specialist is located. With this, it is possible to reach more regionsas there are many localities that do not have all medical services in health centers. The use of state-of-the-art ultrasound scanners means that more patients can receive a quick and accurate diagnosis, avoiding the need to travel to other regions that have more resources.
The use of these ultrasound scanners incorporating the latest technology provides an improvement in the health sector, so that now the Asturian region will be able to offer an effective and high quality diagnostic imaging, reducing efforts and limitations.
