ProSound Alpha 6 Overview

The ProSound Alpha 6 brings outstanding image quality, award winning design, unprecedented feature-rich performance, and ease of use to the office market.

Building on the ProSound technology strengths, this compact system offers high-end features and technologies in an easy-to-use, affordable and environmentally friendly system. The ProSound Alpha 6’s high power processor allows a number of imaging modes previously seen only in high-end systems. The system supports a full range of probes and software, designed to support better diagnostics and patient care. Additionally, the ProSound Alpha 6 is fully upgradeable and easy-to-use.

The lightweight ProSound Alpha 6 has the smallest footprint in its class offering outstanding mobility. With reduced power consumption, the ProSound Alpha 6 is also designed to be economically and environmentally friendly.

ProSound Alpha 6 Image Technology

Clear images and advanced functions are what you have come to expect from Hitachi – Aloka. Our 60 years of experience and innovation continues with the ProSound Alpha 6 platform.

• Compound Pulse Wave Generator (CPWG) – The most advanced broadband beam-forming technology combined with high speed image processing that allows for higher definition ultrasound imaging than ever before.
• Broadband Harmonics™ (BbH) – Provides high quality imaging using an expanded range of harmonic signals. This technology results in excellent image resolution and sensitivity and improved penetration.
• Adaptive Image Processing (AIP) – Clearly displays differences in tissues, reducing speckle noise while maintaining the frame rate. It can also display outlines more clearly by selectively emphasizing boundaries.
• Spatial Compound Imaging (SCI) – The ultrasound beam is transmitted and received in real time and in the multiple directions resulting in a reduction of speckle noise, suppression of artifacts, and improvement of contrast resolution allowing lesions to be clearly observed.
• Image Optimizer – At the touch of a button the B-mode image is instantly optimized to the user’s preference. This technology continually monitors the user’s typical settings to optimally adjust the image when pressed resulting in less manual adjustments and more efficient examinations.
• SmartProbes – The new high-efficiency probes 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.

ProSound Alpha 6 Ergonomics

• The high-quality LCD monitor can be swiveled horizontally and tilted vertically
• The height of the operation panel can be adjusted to suit the position of the user during examination
• As the smallest system in its class, the ProSound Alpha 6 fits easily into narrow bedside spaces. The rounded body, soothing colors and quietness of the system make the experience more comfortable for patients
• Patient information and image data can be digitally stored on the built-in hard drive, USB drive or DVD recorder. The system is compatible with JPEG and other general storage formats, as well as the DICOM storage format.

ProSound Alpha 6 Features

A6 Breast Features

Real-time 3D (4D)

Real-time 3D allows for the simple and rapid acquisition, optimization, manipulation and analysis of structures in 3D and Real-time 3D/4D.

Multi-slice Imaging (MSI)

Creates multiple Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) images from a 3D volume data and displays the images simultaneously. The MPR images are displayed parallel to each other and assist in the understanding of the internal structure of the 3D image by acquiring the information of multiple planes in a structure.

A6 Gynecology Features

Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR)

3D acquisition that provides images of multiple imaging planes including a third plane not accessible with conventional 2D imaging.

Real-time 3D/4D

Real-time 3D allows the acquisition, optimization, manipulation and analysis of structures in 3D and Real-time 3D/4D

eFLOW

Displays blood flow with directional information at higher frame rates and spatial resolution compared to conventional methods. Detail and accuracy of blood flow information is greatly increased with reduced blooming of color.
