Samsung Medison HS60

The Samsung HS60 is a high-end multi-purpose diagnostic ultrasound system designed
to cover a wide range of applications including obstetrics, abdominal,
gynecology, pediatric, small organs, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic,
trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, MSK(conventional, superficial), urology,
adult cardiac, pediatric cardiac, and peripheral vessel.

The Samsung HS60 integrates a 128-channel S-Vision Imaging Engine
from the HS70A which provides support for a number
of high-performance hardware such as a 21.5” LED monitor,
a fully customizable 10.1” LED touchscreen, 4 active probe ports,
4 premium single crystal transducers (CA1-7ADm, CA2-9AD, PA1-5A, CV1-8AD),
and 5 advanced linear array transducers (LA3-14AD, LA3-16A, LA2-9A,
LA4-18BD, LA3-16AI). These transducers effectively cover all requirements
from General Imaging applications.

Realistic Vue is Samsung’s leading 3D/4D technology on the market
and is an outstanding fetal-maternal bonding tool similar to GE’s HDlive.
The HS60 also supports the unique and automated 5D NT and 5D Follicle
features along with XI STIC and 3D XI.
These technologies will help enhance the physician’s diagnostic confidence
during pre-gestation and pregnancy stages.

On the other hand, the cardiovascular options of the Samsung HS60
are limited since those weren’t the target market. However,
its strong transducer lineup and General Imaging features such as Elastoscan,
E-Strain, Panoramic, Needle Mate , and CEUS allow for more in-depth studies.

The Samsung HS60 and HS50 are born twins in 2017. The Samsung HS60
has a few more features and transducers, but they both essentially look the same,
and have the same imaging and ergonomic tools. In addition,
many similarities have been identified with the Samsung HS70A,
whose technologies and clinical concepts have been borrowed
from the WS80A and the RS80A.

The Samsung HS60 is categorized as a high-end entry-level ultrasound system
and is similar to the GE Logiq S7, and the GE Voluson S6. Its General Imaging
and 3D/4D options for Obstetrics and Gynecology are better
than those of the GE Logiq S7 and similar those of the GE Voluson S6.

Samsung systems are known for being great ergonomic systems
that integrate “easy-to-use” automated features, as one would expect
from the #1 commercial electronics giant.
With its recently upgraded “S-Vision system architecture”,
the Samsung HS60 becomes quieter, sleeker, and lighter.
Its image quality is also greatly improved due to its single crystal transducers
and its S-Harmonic, ClearVision and MultiVision imaging technologies.

Touch customization combined with Samsung’s user interface options
greatly increase work efficiency and reduce the unnecessary workload
from repeated operations and actions.
These interface options include Quick Preset, EZ-Exam , EZ Compare,
Measure Navigation, and Quick Scan.

The Samsung HS series are rich in features for both General Imaging
and OB/GYN applications. E-Strain on the Samsung HS60 is one
of those unique options that enhances the accuracy and efficiency of elastography.
Unfortunately, CEUS is not yet clinically acceptable, and more clinical evaluations
and validations seem to be required for its approval.

With outstanding premium linear transducers, Elastoscan, E-Strain,
and Needle Mate , the clinical coverage of interventional radiology is expanded,
and the accuracy and efficiency of biopsy procedures are reinforced.
If medical professionals need a system for OB/GYN
with especially strong 3D/4D features, then the Samsung HS60 and HS50 are two
of the best options in the mid to high-end entry level range of ultrasound systems,
competing with the GE Voluson S6 and the GE Voluson P8.

FAQs
ClearVision
The noise reduction filter improves edge enhancement
and creates sharper 2D images in order to deliver optimal diagnostic performance.
The integration of a technologically advanced Samsung product brings
about a notable improvement in the quality of images.
In addition, ClearVision provides application – specified optimization
and advanced temporal resolution in live scan mode.

S-Harmonic
The ordinary harmonic technology is able to provide greater image clarity from near
to midfield, while also reducing signal noise. Combined with S-Vue transducers
and S-Vision imaging engine, the S-Harmonic overcomes the technology limitation
of the ordinary Harmonic technology and improves the quality of the image
from near to far-field.

ElastoScan
This is a diagnostic ultrasound technique that is able to display elasticity
by converting the stiffness into color images while detecting the presence
of solid masses in tissues.

Auto IMT
Auto IMT is a screening tool that is able to analyze a patient’s potential risk
of cardiovascular disease. It allows easy measurements for intima-media thickness
of both the anterior and posterior wall of the common carotid by one click.
This simple procedure enhances exam productivity and adds diagnostic value.

E-Strain™
E-Strain is designed to provide quick and easy calculations
of the strain ratio between two regions of interest for day-to-day practice.
By setting the two targets, you can receive accurate, consistent results
and make informed decisions in many types of diagnostic procedures such as breast,
prostate, or gynecological examinations.

S-Vue transducers (CA1-7AD, CA2-9AD, PA1-5A, CV1-8AD)
Retaining an innovative single crystal design, S-Vue™ transducers provide
more efficient piezoelectric properties. This results in wider bandwidths
that enable better penetration and higher quality resolution
on even challenging patients.

Quick Preset
With one touch, the Quick Preset shows the four most commonly used transducers
with each combined preset. The Quick Preset provides maximum efficiency
by changing the transducer and preset, and by reducing unnecessarily repeated keystrokes.

EZ-Compare™
The EZ-Compare™ allows corresponding views in a side-by-side display
for patients who have previously taken exams. Moreover,
EZ-Compare™ automatically matches the image settings, annotations,
and body markers from the prior study.

EZ-Exam ™
The EZ-Exam ™ enables users to build or to use predefined protocols.
It transforms the ultrasound investigation into a streamlined process.
The EZ-Exam ™ ensures that the full investigation is performed and eliminates the risk
of forgetting an image or loop capture.

Measure Navigation
Measure Navigation is a function that zooms in on the starting point
of the caliper cursor in order to increase the accuracy of measurements
by providing a zoomed-in target area image.

5D Follicle™
The 5D Follicle™ is an automated 3D measurement function that identifies
and measures multiple ovarian follicles for rapid assessment of follicular size in 3D
and status. The 5D follicle is a great assisting tool that is able to increase
the efficiency and success ratio of the in-vitro fertility procedure.

5D NT™
The 5D NT™ is an automated 3D measurement function that allows the user
to obtain the true mid-sagittal plane automatically.
This can happen by rotating and auto-zooming the 3D volume image in order
for the operator to obtain the accurate NT measurement. 5D NT™ can lower
the operator dependency and increase reproducibility.

Realistic Vue™
The Realistic Vue™ is the same feature as the GE HDlive, which provides the user
with a movable light source and with calculations of the propagation
of light through the skin and tissue. The user can freely position the light
at any angle, relative to the ultrasound volume images that illuminate areas
of interest. The Realistic Vue™ helps increase depth perception, reveal hidden details,
and provide a deeper understanding of relational anatomy.

Wide angle endocavity transducer
The wide-angle endocavity transducer (E3-12A) offers a 210-degree field-of-view,
which allows greater visualization of the pelvic anatomy.
It is possible to visualize the entire cervix and uterus through normal anatomy
as well as viewing from a left-right symmetry in the transverse plane.

Strain
Strain is a quantitative tool for the global and segmental wall motion
of the left ventricle (LV). In Strain , three standard LV views
and a Bull’s Eye are displayed in a Quad screen for an easy and quick assessment
of the LV-function.
