Image title: Lung ultrasound
Fantastic detail and penetration is shown in this complex pleural effusion B-mode image acquired using Canon Medical's linear 14L5 transducer on the Aplio 500 ultrasound system. Advanced Dynamic Flow (ADF) also demonstrates terrific sensitivity at depth.

Image title: Stone in SMG Duct
The small footprint and excellent resolution and penetration exhibited by Canon Medical’s 17LH7 hockey stick transducer has enabled the effortless and accurate diagnosis of unobstructed sialolithiasis

Image title: Posterior Vitreous Detachment
Canon Medical’s Precision and Aplipure technologies provide high resolution ocular imaging which aids in the diagnosis of posterior vitreous detachment with haemorrhage in the retrohyaloid space.
September

Image title: SMG image
Excellent nearfield resolution is exhibited using the Aplio i800 to assess calculus within Wharton’s duct. High resolution B-mode imaging is maintained whilst using Canon Medical’s unique Advanced Dynamic Flow (ADF).

Image title: Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy
The diagnosis of a PEJ (percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy) intussusception has been made using the 14L5 transducer on the Aplio 500 ultrasound system. The classic 'doughnut sign' is demonstrated where concentric bowel layers of both the telescoping intussuceptum and the receiving intussucipiens are clearly delineated. Centrally, the echogenic interfaces with posterior shadowing elongate to represent the patient’s jejunostomy tube in situ, acting as the lead point.

Image title: Right CFA Pseudoaneurysm
Excellent imaging using the 17LH7 hockey stick transducer on the Aplio i600 platform to diagnose a pseudoaneurysm in a patient with groin swelling following an angiogram.
The high resolution of Canon Medical’s unique colour Doppler technology, Advanced Dynamic Flow, was able to accurately demonstrate the blood flow pattern and the 0.9 mm pseudoaneurysm neck. Supplementary images depict the B mode morphology of the aneurysm as well the red blood cells within and the typical ‘to and fro’ waveform when interrogated using pulsed Doppler.
