BK Ultrasound, Powered by Analogic, Launches bkSpecto Ultrasound System for Urology at the 2018 American Urological Associat...
19 May 2018 - 7:19AM
Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world’s medical
imaging and aviation security technology, today announced that it
will launch the bkSpecto™ ultrasound system at the 113th AUA
(American Urological Association) Annual Meeting, May 18–21, in San
Francisco.
bkSpecto—taken from the Latin word Specto, meaning ‘I see’—is BK
Ultrasound’s all-new ultrasound platform designed for clinical
practices. bkSpecto combines BK’s advanced auto-optimization
algorithms with faster processing to render exceptional anatomical
imaging detail with minimal manual adjustment by the user. The
system has a unique glass touch-based interface using BK’s
Tru-Sense™ technology to provide ‘sightless navigation.’ The
interface enables tactile feedback with or without gloves,
providing an intuitive, self-guided user experience. The interface
is also customizable, enabling personalized and faster user
workflows. The small footprint of bkSpecto makes this portable
system an easy addition to any clinical practice or office, while
the glass surface makes cleaning easy and fast.
“bkSpecto brings together superior image quality and faster
clinical workflows through image optimization algorithms,
configurable user interface, and faster processing,” said Brooks
West, senior vice president and general manager, Global Ultrasound
Business. “Our commitment to enabling users to acquire detailed
clinical images effortlessly and rapidly is evident in bkSpecto. We
are very excited to be launching the urology edition of the all new
bkSpecto ultrasound system at the AUA this week.”
bkSpecto for urology also includes BK’s specialized advanced
urology transducers, a configurable urology-based rapid workflow,
and an imaging screen that allows for both portrait or landscape
views for superb dual imaging. Also featured at AUA 2018 will be
the bk5000™ and bk3000™ ultrasound systems with bkFusion™, the
integrated fusion solution with Predictive Fusion™ advanced
technology, enabling faster fusion procedure by eliminating the
need for contouring the ultrasound prostate volume. bkFusion is the
first MRI-fusion prostate biopsy application that is fully
integrated onto a premium ultrasound system—the bk3000—for use by
urologists in both hospital and office settings. The bk3000 system
is designed for urology, general imaging, and procedural guidance
applications.
