In supporting a wealth of clinical applications and transducers, the HI VISION 900 is truly unique in today's market. The design of this system was driven by research, innovation and leading-
As a worldwide leader in electronics, Hitachi has used the best in-house electronic processing, microchip, board and transducer technology expertise to design and manufacture the HI VISION 900.
Image features include Coded Imaging to increase penetration and expand the use of high-frequency transducers; Hi Rez+, a real-time tissue adaptive filtering technology; and High definition dynamic Tissue Harmonic Imaging. These can be combined to achieve outstanding image quality, providing you with the highest-possible diagnostic confidence, even with the most difficult-to-image patients.
Using market research into clinical needs to master the challenges of daily clinical practice, the HI VISION 900 has been developed with optimal features to improve ergonomics and workflow. These include the cockpit display mode, speech recognition software, waterproof remote control and Picture in Picture technology.
With a solid history of truly innovative design and production, Hitachi is today the only manufacturer offering over 40 ultrasound transducers. As the essential interface between the patient and the ultrasound system, the unique design of many of our specialist transducers provides the best diagnostic information possible. The HI VISION 900 is designed for upgradeability, supporting current and future transducer technology.
