Ultrasound Research: Multi-Element Synthetic Transmit Aperture Method in Medical Ultrasound Imaging with SonixTouch Research System.
Recently in the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, a paper was published, by Ihor Trots, Yuriy Tasinkevych, Andrzej Nowicki and Marcin Lewandowski, presenting the multi-element synthetic transmit aperture (MSTA) method with a small number of elements transmitting and all elements apertures in medical ultrasound imaging. Compared to the other methods, MSTA allows the increase of the system frame rate and provides the best compromise between penetration depth and lateral resolution.

Ultrasound DVD: SonixDVR and the VHS Zombie
In a recent article Combating the VHS Zombie in Ultrasound on http://www.dotmed.com, Lida D’Amrosio pointed out a surprising fact that although most consumers have “thrown out the VHS player at home, it still survives for some in ultrasound”.
Although the idea of the “zombie VHS” lurking in the medical world may seem astonishing, D’Amrosio points out that the digital recording format is gaining momentum in the medical environment. We at Ultrasonix have observed this move towards digital recording due to the growing use of our SonixDVR by at hospitals and private clinics that use our ultrasound systems. SonixDVR offers the unique ability to record up to 60 minutes of an ultrasound exam in high definition by simply pressing a button on the system. The files can be saved for review, consultations, training and to share with patients. For example, reproductive medicine clinics offer expecting parents high definition ultrasound recordings of their unborn babies on a disk or USB.
