A Better
Diagnostic Tool
With over 50 years of ultrasound
design experience and Aloka's
dedication to the surgery
marketplace, Aloka has developed a
superior system that raises the bar
for MSK ultrasound.
The SSD-3500 delivers:
- High performance digital
imaging capabilities
- An easy-to-use ultrasound
system
- An affordable price
Aloka’s SSD-3500 combines the
latest in digital processing
technology with high resolution
transducer engineering to deliver a
powerful ultrasound system for
examining the musculoskeletal system
of the body.
With its
UST-5542 13Mhz transducer,
the SSD-3500 is the perfect system
to detect problems with muscles,
tendons, joints, and soft tissue. It
is very effective at:
- Diagnosing tendon tears
(e.g., tears of the rotator cuff
in the shoulder)
- Diagnosing bleeding or other
fluid collections within the
muscles, bursae, and other
joints
- Easily guiding therapeutic
needles
- Identifying the degree of
vascularity associated with
inflammatory processes
And because ultrasound is a
dynamic imaging modality,
impingements and tears are easily
visualized on the monitor.
Features
- Digital Processing/PixelFocus™
A 100% digital processing
technique that allows the
SSD-3500 to focus down to
the pixel level to provide
for very high quality
spatial resolution for
improved visualization of
clinical detail.
- High Performance12-bit
A/D Converter
Achieve high-quality images
with the broad dynamic range
and high contrast resolution
with our 12-bit A/D
converter.
- Digital Storage
The SSD-3500 supports data
storage in multiple formats
including DICOM, TIFF, JPG,
and BMP using its iDMS
(Intelligent Data Management
System) software.
- Color Doppler
Wide dynamic range ColorFlow,
PowerFlow, and Tissue
Doppler Imaging provide
outstanding analysis of
blood flow morphology.
- Dual Dynamic Display (DDD)
Simultaneously display two
B-mode images (with and
without color flow) to
easily show the relationship
between the morphological
information and the blood
flow of the region of
interest.
- Tissue Harmonic Echo
(THE)
The SSD-3500 utilizes second
harmonics, which include
much less side lobe artifact
and noise, and provides
improved tissue
differentiation with
increased contrast
resolution. This also helps
imaging of difficult-to-exam
patients such as the aged
and the obese.
- Small Footprint
In a crowded office setting,
space if often hard to find.
Surprisingly, the SSD-3500
takes up little space. And
with its adjustable monitor
and keyboard, the SSD-3500
is easy to use and
comfortable to operate.
