Tustin-based Toshiba Medial Systems Inc. (TABS) is launching Viamo laptop ultrasound system, the latest, state-of-the-art alternative for busy emergency rooms and tight-spaced medical facilities. Previous incarnations of hand-carried ultrasound systems offered better access to patients when space is compromised, but could not provide the advanced radiology capabilities required to perform exams in today’s demanding ultrasound environment.
Designed to meet the needs of today’s hospitals by combining portability with high-end radiology features Viamo (works-in-progress) will be the industry’s no-compromise ultrasound system with advanced radiology capabilities, previously unavailable on hand-carried systems. Toshiba will showcase the Viamo at this year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, held in Chicago, Nov. 29 – Dec. 4.
The Viamo combines the portability of a laptop system with advanced radiology features to deliver outstanding image quality, enhance diagnostic confidence and improve ease of use. Developed from a radiology foundation, Toshiba’s Viamo provides the confidence to image patients at bedside, which generally requires larger, more expensive cart-based systems.
