About Aloka

ALOKA Ultrasound

Aloka - illuminate the change Japan-based ALOKA Co. Ltd. has traditionally taken a role as pioneer in medical ultrasound research and technology development since more than 55 years. ALOKA is a leading manufacturer of medical devices who introduced the 1st Diagnostic Ultrasound system in 1960 and since then has manufactured and delivered over 200,000 systems worldwide. With its focus on diagnostic ultrasound products for medical applications, ALOKA is committed to continuously developing and offering best-in-class solutions at the forefront of diagnostic and quantitative ultrasound imaging.

Major technology breakthroughs such as the world’s first commercial ultrasound device ever, convex and phased array scanning, transeosophageal echocardiography, three-dimensional ultrasound technology and a DICOM-compatible full product line have been launched and brought to market since. Especially the introduction of Colour Doppler technology in 1983 by ALOKA constituted a new era in medical ultrasound diagnostics globally. Another breakthrough introduction is e-Flow, a unique and new technology to visualize blood perfusion at highest achievable sensitivity.

eFlow

Renal blood flow By using the directional eFLOW, it is possible to observe directionality of flows in the periphery of the kidney.
Carotid Artery Flow Distinct color information is presented up to the edge of the thickened carotid wall.
Tumor of the Thyroid Gland This image shows blood flows in the thyroid tumor. Fine vessels are shown in detail.

 

A full range of products and solutions is available to be used in any clinical setting, from the private practitioner’s office and small hospital departments to the largest medical university and research institutes. ALOKA offers dedicated solutions for all specific requirements. The complete portfolio covers general imaging, abdominal, cardiology and vascular applications, as well as for combined (such as internal medicine) use. All ProSound systems address the user’s need for excellent system performance and quality at different price levels. The systems are highly modular and offer multiple upgrade options.

ALOKA's newest innovation: Premium Ultrasound system ProSound F75


ProSound F75

The ProSound F75 is the latest addition to the ALOKA ProSound high-end color series. The ProSound F75 is a multi-purpose diagnostic ultrasound system which provides unprecedented performance in a variety of clinical applications and is comfortable and easy to use. The ProSound F75 system has been designed with the new ALOKA "FIT" ethos (Facilitate workflow; Investment return; True diagnostic) at its heart and each system can be tailored to the needs of any clinician. The ProSound F75 reduces burden on the examiners and patients, assures and maintains versatility at a high dimension, reduces patient dependency by increasing the level of diagnostic ability, and improves productivity of routine examinations by accuracy and efficiency.

The ProSound F75 supports various scan methods and a diversified lineup of speciality probes gives you a wide variety of imaging capabilities to meet all your imaging needs. The new high-efficiency SmartProbes™ are very lightweight and designed to be high in energy conversion to transmit high-quality ultrasound beams without raising the temperature on the probe surface.

F: Facilitate workflow
Making routine examinations more comfortable

The ProSound F75 acknowledges the needs of performing examinations in a natural posture without stress or discomfort. The monitor and operation panel have a wide range of movement, which enables reduction of the operator's muscle load up to 20%. Another factor is automation of operation, to make examinations flow smoother. The ProSound F75 allows simple operation so the operator can concentrate on the examination in comfort.

I: Investment return
Investment return for the hospital management and society

The ProSound F75 covers numerous applications in one console, with its wide variety of probes, measurement/report package, and many other factors. Affordable cost of ownership is guaranteed due to the reliable system design and easy-to-upgrade software. With simple and intuitive operation, new users can easily learn to operate the system.

T: True diagnostics
Reduce the patient dependency

By combining all of our cutting-edge technologies, the ProSound F75 performs high spatial resolution. The combination of the CPWG+ (compound pulse wave generator, the new front-end processor) and Full Aperture Apodization (uses all transducer elements of a probe) perfects focus throughout the entire image. This technology will enhance the efficiency of examinations, and will benefit both patients and examiners.
