What happens when cutting-edge technology meets the real-world challenges of cardiac care? At Grampians Health, clinicians share how the ACUSON Origin is transforming their ability to diagnose and treat patients—faster and smarter than ever before.
The new AI features of the ACUSON Origin are very, very impressive and it is by far the fastest machine to scan with. We always used to book an hour for echoes, and we often book 45-minute echoes now, I think that's achievable with these machines quite easily. The AI features definitely improve productivity.
Clinical Images
Auto Flash Artifact Suppression
Auto Flash Artifact Suppression technology limits flash and ghosting color Doppler artifacts due to motion. Color Doppler stays where it is supposed to for better anatomical and hemodynamic representation.
AI Assist
AI Assist leverages Live View Recognition and AI-Enabled Placement to autonomously perform AI-enabled placement of color Doppler ROI and spectral Doppler gates in real-time. By analyzing the ultrasound image and recognizing the specific cardiac views among the 12 standard transthoracic ultrasound views, it accurately places the Doppler regions of interest on the appropriate anatomical and hemodynamic targets.
- Color box placement 98% accurate (no or minor adjustment)1
- PW Gate Placement 95% accurate (no or minor adjustment)2

2D Heart
Using cutting-edge AI 2D HeartAI provides fast and precise automatic view recognition and contour placement while giving you the flexibility to edit as needed. No ECG needed, average up to 5 beats and with or without contrast.
- 99% accuracy for detecting LVEVD and LVESV (across different users)1
- 100% accuracy on view classification for A4C, A3C, A2C (with and without contrast, across multiple sonographers)2

InFocus Imaging
InFocus Imaging eliminates the need for a traditional focal zone, producing fully focused images at faster rates than conventional systems. The entire image remains consistently sharp across the depth range, thanks to advanced technology using overlapping multibeam groups for precise information capture.
