Samsung Launches Women’s Health Ultrasound System

Boston Imaging, the United States headquarters of Samsung’s digital radiography and ultrasound business, has launched the HERA W10 Elite, part of the company’s HERA platform for Obstetrics and Gynecology. The new premium ultrasound system includes a suite of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and clinical applications to advance the diagnostic experience.

“Women’s health is a fast-growing field that requires state-of-the-art equipment for patient care. The HERA W10 Elite will bring visionary change to Obstetrics and Gynecology with sophisticated image processing and an ergonomic-friendly design,” said Tracy Bury, Women's Health Ultrasound Business Leader, Boston Imaging.

The HERA W10 Elite may assist clinicians in receiving greater insight in diagnosis with its intuitive visualizations, precise analytic features and fast operation. It features Advanced MV-Flow, designed to display the intensity of blood flow and provide 2D and 3D visualization of microcirculatory and slow blood and a larger OLED display and a new transducer, the EV2-124 for visualization of the fetal heart and brain starting at eight weeks endovaginally.

The system is also equipped with enhanced AI features. HeartAssist provides measurement results and automatically classifies an ultrasound image into measurement views required for fetal heart diagnosis. ViewAssist, pending US FDA clearance, automatically classifies ultrasound images and annotates the structures for convenient measurement (16 new views added). BiometryAssist, also pending US FDA clearance, enables clinicians to measure fetal growth parameters with a single click while maintaining exam consistency.

The HERA W10 Elite will be showcased at the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine’s 43rd Annual Pregnancy Meeting from February 8 to 10 in the company’s booth.
