Company Presentation

SuperSonic Imagine is a company specialized in the field of medical imaging.

The company designs, develops and markets a revolutionary ultrasound platform Aixplorer®, which operates a UltraFast ™ technology with an acquisition rate about 200 times faster than competing systems. Aixplorer® is the only ultrasound imaging to combine two types of waves: ultrasonic waves to construct images of exceptional quality and shear waves allowing physicians to visualize and analyze real-time tissue hardness through a reliable, reproducible, and noninvasive procedure.

This innovation, ShearWave ™ Elastography improves the detection and characterization of multiple pathologies in many applications. The platform Aixplorer® has received CE Mark in 2008 and was approved by the FDA in 2009 for several clinical applications: breast, thyroid, abdomen, liver, musculo-skeletal disorders, prostate, gynecology and obstetrics.
