Canon Medical Extends its Ultrasound Portfolio with Affordable Offline Analysis Solution

Canon Medical’s new UltraExtend NX workstation helps clinicians turn clinical data into actionable insights



Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, 15 February 2022 –With UltraExtend NX, Canon Medical Systems Europe introduces a cost-effective solution for efficient yet affordable clinical case management and follow-up.

UltraExtend NX offers a complete offline workflow from organizing, reviewing, and analyzing clinical data to documenting and reporting results. The software platform leverages Canon's raw data architecture, which allows users to streamline their workflow while freeing up the ultrasound machine for time-consuming procedures.

Similar to the ultrasound device, the software enables precise and reproducible cardiac quantification with just a few clicks and offers robust tools for planning complex processes such as THV deployment or clipping procedures based on 3D TEE data.

"Organizing and managing clinical data can be challenging, especially when they are collected alongside the daily routine," said Frank Alsemgeest, European Director of the Ultrasound Business Unit at Canon Medical Systems Europe. He continued, "With UltraExtend NX, we can provide clinicians with an affordable tool to efficiently aggregate study data—even when collected from multiple sites."

Compatible with the Aplio i- and a-series* ultrasound systems, UltraExtend NX enables clinicians to work in a variety of network situations. It can retrieve data directly from an ultrasound machine or a local NAS** and send results to a department PACS.

UltraExtend NX is commercially available in Europe immediately***. For more information on UltraExtend NX and Canons’ breakthrough ultrasound solutions, please visit our website.
