Ease of use
Ergonomic considerations were key in the new system’s design. An adjustable, easy-to-use control panel makes it quick and easy to learn to use and get into the flow of daily use. An intuitive probe design ensures seamless integration into any clinical workflow while improving user comfort and efficiency.
Aplio me also sets new standards in terms of sharing and support. Tools such as ApliCam and ApliGate encourage collaboration between experts, while the system's silent operation ensures a soothing environment for patients and a focused workspace for healthcare professionals.
Quiet operation
Aplio me promotes a peaceful working environment thanks to its library-quiet operation. This feature combines advanced imaging capabilities with quiet operation, that reduces patient anxiety and provides healthcare professionals with a serene workspace for optimal concentration, exemplifying a powerful combination of cutting-edge technology and patient-centric design in modern healthcare.
Smart investment
Beyond its technological prowess, Aplio me has a lightweight, compact design that enables a solid return on investment.
“Aligned with Canon Medical's CSR objectives, Aplio me is designed to reduce energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice in medical imaging technology,” added Satoshi Matsunaga.

In a nutshell…
Benefits of Aplio me
- Robust and consistent diagnostic results
- Easily fits into current working environment due to its small footprint.
- 22MHz hockey stick probe
- New linear, single crystal abdominal and high-frequency hockeystick probes for enhanced imaging performance.
- Extensive height adjustability and optimal ergonomics.
- Promotes the improvement of examination workflows.
- The onyx black control panel helps reduce eye strain due to decreased light-dark adaptation in dark examination rooms.
- Increased collaboration opportunities using ApliGate and ApliCam.
Excellent resolution and penetration on the liver study.
Features that add functionality
The Aplio me has already been evaluated by several key ultrasound centers in Europe, who have welcomed the new features it provides.
The official European launch of the Aplio me is held at the ECR (European Congress of Radiology) 2024 congress. Visitors were able to explore the new system up-close at the Canon Medical booth.
“Canon Medical continues to lead the ultrasound medical imaging driven by a commitment to innovation, quality and environmental sustainability,” said Satoshi Matsunaga. “The launch of the Aplio me is additional proof of our commitment to offering advanced medical technology for improved patient care and streamlined clinical operations.”
