Megas Family: CnTI™ Imaging

A revolutionary real-time technology which allows you to implement innovative contrast media ultrasound procedures is now available: the extraordinary CnTI™, Contrast Tuned Imaging™, technology will open new horizons for your advanced applications using the latest generation of ultrasound contrast agents.

The CnTI optional module was specially developed by Esaote's labs to transform complex procedures until now only performed for research purposes into easy and useful routine techniques: our wide experience at your service!

The best way to use the second generation contrast media is to exploit the revolutionary CnTI technology based on a low mechanical index and real-time scanning: the injected microbubbles have a longer life-time because of the incredible performance of the new CnTI Imaging. The acoustic pressure value is now visualized on the screen: it remains constant during the whole examination, assuring the prolonged preservation of the USCA whatever the conditions (different depths, focal positioning, etc.).

Fast switching between Tissue and Contrast mode with the new Real Time Dual Imaging capability allow an easier targeting and a higher confidence in lesion characterization: the possibility to display simultaneously the standard B-Mode imaging (automatically switched to low MI) and the CnTI modality in real time will effectively help you in diagnoses. Moreover, the Intermittent High MI Contrast Management will permit you to save the image-of-interest during the microbubble destruction caused by the high mechanical index both in cardiac and general applications. With the Color Dual Processing you'll achieve the best visualization of the region under examination to follow the contrast agent behaviour.

Revolutionary in conception and easy-to-use, the CnTI reaches its target thanks to the selective automatic tuning on the contrast agent echo which removes any useless-for-diagnosis signal without destroying the microbubbles, while performing dedicated examinations in real-time. The alternation of low and high mechanical index frames suggests new advanced modalities in ultrasound scanning.

The diagnostic results you will obtain due to this brand-new methodology are simply amazing: not only the detection, but also the characterization of hepatic lesions is now a reality for all doctors.

Furthermore, CnTI technique allows for a different, innovative approach to cardiac, vascular and small parts applications thanks to the new range of phased array and high frequency transducers designed by Esaote's engineering. The striking diagnostic results achieved in left ventricle opacification (LVO) and myocardial perfusion when performing real-time scanning at low mechanical index can become a reality. Dedicated Cardio and Radio presets have been introduced to make your task easier in CnTI mode.

Even in Interventional Imaging, where a perfect visualization and truly precise operative implements (dedicated transducers, biopsy and radiofrequency kits, etc.) are essential, the CnTI will add incredible quality to your specific procedures.

Our trust in the new era of ultrasound investigation is completely expressed even by our integration of this innovative method and a compact ergonomic platform to permit its widest diffusion throughout the world.

The fruit of our research, a revolution in your daily ultrasound procedures, is within reach!

CnTI™ optional module is covered by patent number EP 0357164, which is owned by Schering Aktiengesellschaft and licensed to Esaote. Before performing the ultrasound procedures by using the CnTI Imaging module with second generation contrast media, please verify in every country that the Regulatory Agency/Notified Body already certified the use of the above-mentioned contrast agent for pharmaceutical purposes
