Comprehensive Clinical Capabilities

The X500 system provides advanced technologies to suit a wide range of clinical applications.

Advanced multi-specialty imaging, ergonomicsand workflow solutions.

The ACUSON X500™ ultrasound system is a clinicallyadvanced diagnostic platform, designed to address the wide range of clinical application needs and examtypes in busy multi-specialty environments.

The X500 system delivers the diagnostic confidence you expect from Siemens, thanks to accurate imagingperformance, advanced applications and innovativetransducer technologies.

Its fully integrated ErgoDynamic™ imaging system design provides operator comfort during scanning, aids in facilitating best-in-class workflow, and yieldsconsistently favorable outcomes. The X500 system is designed to deliver outstanding value, both now and in the future.

Fully Integrated ErgoDynamic Design

u The X500 system provides an optimalergonomic solution. A height-adjustablecontrol panel allows for optimal ergonomicswhile standing or sitting and 285 degreeconsole rotation allows for proper patient,workstation and user alignment. The 17-inchflat panel display with articulating arm and heads-up display with point and clickoperation further enhances ergonomics.

Applications Range and Versatility

u The X500 system is a complete ultrasoundapplication solution, capable of performing a wide range of applications and exam types.From comprehensive cardiology and generalimaging applications to advanced volumetricimaging in women’s health applications theX500 system is designed to address yourneeds and those of referring physicians.

Streamlined Clinical Workflow

u Siemens is dedicated to provide the examefficiency needed in today’s fast-pacedclinical environments. The X500 systemoffers the solutions to streamline yourworkflow from acquisition to archiving.

Comprehensive Adjustability

The X500 system’s small footprint and virtually infinite adjustability allowsoperators to easily achieve optimal equipment positioning, reducing thepossibility of poor postural alignment and resulting repetitive-stress injuries.The articulated 17-inch flat-panel screen, rotatable and height-adjustablecontrol console and lightweight, highly mobile overall design combine todeliver unprecedented operator/system harmony, allowing the system to be quickly and intuitively adapted to each operator and exam type.

Comfortable scanning throughergonomic design.

The X500 system’s fully integrated ErgoDynamic™ imaging system design helps the user maintain a neutral position andminimizes sonographer hand motion when scanning, to helpprevent operator injury and maximize clinical efficiency.

The system’s easily positioned, 17-inch flat panel display, height adjustable and side-to-side rotatable control panel, with intuitive Home Base design allow each operator to domore, more quickly, with fewer movements. Innovative heads-up,point-and-click, screen-oriented operation reduces keystrokesand repetitive head and hand movements, while allowing theoperator to focus on the patient and the clinical question athand, rather than the system controls.

Home BaseDesign:

u Logically groups all primary imagingcontrols within easy reach around the trackball.

Point and Click:

u Trackball-based ”point and click”system operation with easy-to-use on-screen menusreduces keystrokesand saves exam time.

TGO PlusTechnology:

u TGO™ PLUS tissuegrayscale optimizationtechnologyinstantaneouslyoptimizes tissue gainand brightness in axial and lateral planes forreduced repetitiveoperator motion andenhanced imageconsistency.

Customizable Hard Keys:

u Unprecedentedcustomization ofmultipurpose keys to allow forindividualizedworkflow.

Volumetric Imaging

u Advanced fourSight™ 4D Ultrasound imaging technology delivers detailed, real-time volumetric fetal imaging,depicting fetal anatomy with superb clarity.

Vascular

u Deep-vein vascular imaging and syngo® Arterial Health Package deliver more accurate, more comprehensivevascular exams.

Cardiac Imaging

u The robust cardiac imaging package can be expanded with transesophageal and stress echo capabilities to make the X500 system an optimal choice for versatile, high-performance echocardiography applications.

Advanced imaging technology.Multi-specialty performance.

The X500 system is designed to give clinicians the versatility and clinical performance needed in today’s demanding healthcare environment.

The system provides a complete ultrasound application solution, ready to perform a comprehensive variety of multi-specialty exam types on a wide variety of patients from general imaging needs to advanced cardiac, vascular and volumetric applications.

Siemens Workflow Solutions

Streamlined workflow and clinical efficiency is central to Siemens quality-driven design, engineering and manufacturing. The X500 system is designed for streamlinedmanagement of images and data, from efficiently creating clinically valuable diagnostic exams to populating reports and disseminating images throughout the hospital/practice environment. Thumbnail image display provides a quick review of stored images, clips and volumes during an exam and easy access for printing or deletion of images from a study.

The system’s DIMAQ-IP integrated workstation helps to deliver faster results from patient setup to image review, and to store, recall and manage patient data with speed and efficiency. And DICOM structured reporting is especially valuable in OB and cardiac applications, in which post-exam report accuracy is key.

Remote Diagnostics

Less Downtime;more Uptime

u Siemens remotediagnostic capabilityallows us to monitor your system performance from our own facility, helping us to solve many issues evenbefore they becomeproblems.

We see a way to reduce the number of keystrokes during an exam by at least 50%
