Vevo News: Issue 2 - February 2015
Latest News from VisualSonics
By Andrew Needles - Senior Manager, Product Innovation

2015 is well underway and we are excited to share what’s new and exciting at VisualSonics.

Our latest product news includes the release of the state-of-the-art imaging platform: Vevo 3100. This new ultrasound system brings together superior image quality, new Vevo HD technology and unprecedented user experience. The touchscreen interface with customized applications and workflow allows you to get to the images and answers you need more rapidly.

Exciting developments continue with our Vevo LAZR Photoacoustic Imaging System. New software updates provide spectral unmixing and contrast detection capabilities. New hardware developments result in better imaging depth and sensitivity allowing for possible applications in brain, cancer and cardiovascular research.

At this time we are also proud to announce a new and exclusive partnership with inviCRO LLC, and the development of the VisualSonics iPACS® Imaging Study Management System. The VisualSonics iPACS is a sophisticated, time-saving, web-based resource designed to enable users to collaborate with colleagues seamlessly and in real-time through the iPACS’ web-based interface.  The iPACS platform offers a wide range of functionality for the organization, archiving, processing and reporting of preclinical data. Click here to read more about this exciting new partnership.

At VisualSonics, we constantly develop and deliver increasingly advanced technologies designed specifically with the researcher in mind. We are motivated to provide researchers like yourselves the right tools so that you may one day be able to bring to humanity the next medical breakthrough
. We, at VisualSonics, are inspired to empower you to take your discoveries out of the lab, and ultimately to the patients that need them the most. So in 2015, together with you, we are Bringing Discoveries To Patients.

All the best for the coming year. - Andrew Needles

New CV Protocol Using Vevo 2100
Submitted by Craig Goergen, Frederick W. Damen and Arvin H. Soepriatna of Purdue University

Through our collaboration with VisualSonics, we have developed a new protocol for collecting in vivo ECG and respiratory-gated 3D ultrasound volumes in mice in order to visualize complex cardiac motion. Current efforts are focused on using these datasets for subsequent computational flow dynamics and biomechanical modeling. We hope future studies can use this technique to study disease models of myocardial infarction, aortic stenosis, or ventricular hypertrophy.

Miss the February webinar? No problem, you can watch it here!

We had a great number of partcipants join us for our exciting February Webinar: Anything the Heart Desires: An improved method to grade Cardiac output following myocardial infarction - an echocardiography study hosted by Mathew Platt.

If you happened to miss the live presentation, here's your opportunity to watch it in full. Mathew Platt, B.Sc from Dr. Jeremy Simpson's laboratory, University of Guelph covered the following topics:
  • Issues associated with collecting echocardiographic data from infarcted mouse hearts
  • Pulmonary flow as a means of reducing variability/improving accuracy o fcalculated stroke volume and cardiac output
  • Validation of pulmonary flow using both aortic flow and 2D echocardiography
Mathew also fielded a great many questions from the audience at the end of the presentation so be sure not to miss this very informative webinar. Click here to watch Anything the Heart Desires.
