FUJIFILM Sonosite Redefines Superficial Imaging with the New UHF46-20 Transducer, the World's First 46MHz Ultra High Frequency Transducer for Point-of-Care Ultrasound

BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., the world leader in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) solutions, today announced a revolutionary advancement in point-of-care ultrasound imaging with the introduction of their UHF46-20 Transducer. This groundbreaking transducer is the first and only 46MHz Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) transducer available today in the point-of-care ultrasound market 1, setting a new standard for superficial image clarity and detail. With a minimum scan depth of 4mm, the UHF46-20 Transducer will enable clinicians to clearly visualize the first one to two centimeters beneath the skin and identify structures smaller than 1mm, such as superficial nerves and vessels, with high-quality resolution. Built upon the advanced Ultra High Frequency technology from FUJIFILM VisualSonics, and available exclusively on the FUJIFILM Sonosite LX POCUS system, this innovative technology provides the best superficial imaging 2,3,4 available on any point-of-care ultrasound system 1. 'At FUJIFILM Sonosite, we are driven by a commitment to help solve real-world challenges clinicians and providers face. The UHF46-20 transducer, when paired with the Sonosite LX system, enables the largest frequency range of any point-of-care ultrasound system on the market today - addressing a longstanding challenge that current clinical ultrasound systems have been unable to overcome,' said Richard Fabian, president and chief executive officer of FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. 'We're proud to bring to market the UHF46-20 Transducer as the first and only 46MHz UHF transducer in POCUS to provide clinicians with an unparalleled tool that may help them enhance diagnostic confidence and procedural accuracy.' The combination of the new transducer and the Sonosite LX offers clinicians a versatile solution for a wide spectrum of imaging needs, spanning from deep abdominal scans to ultra-high resolution superficial assessments. The UHF46-20 Transducer holds promise for improving outcomes across a range of sensitive applications including Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Rheumatology. In the NICU, its superior resolution may help clinicians see superficial submillimeter anatomy that conventional ultrasound may not capture. 6,11 The use of UHF ultrasound may aid clinicians in improving procedural quality by allowing for better visualization of tiny anatomy that may help to improve first attempt success rates. 4,8,9,10 In Rheumatology, UHF's advanced superficial imaging may aid in the visualization of subclinical synovitis, erosions, crystal deposits, and inflammation, all of which are beneficial in the early diagnosis and intervention of chronic conditions. 2,3,7 To learn more about the UHF46-20 Transducer, visit the product page at About FUJIFILM FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc. is the innovator and world leader in bedside and point-of-care ultrasound, and an industry leader in ultra-high frequency micro-ultrasound technology.

Taste the Future With the Best Meal Replacement Shakes

Flavor Texture Satiety TOTAL 7.1 6.4 6.8 6.8 OWYN stands for 'only what you need,' which feels similar to the pitch Dozer gives Neo in The Matrix as he sets our hero up with a bowl of protein-rich slop for his first meal after being yanked back into what's left of the real world. OWYN does offer a caffeinated version of its protein shakes, but this iteration merely references coffee in name and flavor. The liquid is thin and easy enough to put down, with a tingle of artificial sweetener on the finish that quickly gives way to a coffee flavor that's not unlike something you'd taste at a janky ice cream stand that offers something like 'Jim's Jacked-Up Java' as the milkshake flavor of the month. The slim stats in the protein and fat categories combined with the coffee-adjacent placebo had me feeling shaky and malnourished by 10 am most days when I replaced my breakfast with OWYN. This is not a great pick if you're trying to go the distance without chewing or even thinking about procuring a proper meal, but it could be a nice post-lunch boost that does an OK job of scratching the itch for a sweet coffee treat. Top off your actual cold brew with this coffee-flavored glurp if you're feeling naughty, or you can toss what's left of your McDonald's coffee from the drive to work into the fridge, then mix it around with a bottle of OWYN a few hours later if you're feeling downright trashy. Cost per serving: $33.29 per 12 pack = $2.75 Other flavors available: Cookies & Creamless, Dark Chocolate, Smooth Vanilla, Strawberry Banana Allergens: None; bottle alleges each batch is 'independently tested for detection of the top nine allergens' Protein: 20 g Calories: 180 (12 oz RTD bottle) Carbs: 8 g Fat: 7 g Caffeine: No $40 $37 (8% off) Amazon (30 servings) Flavor Texture Satiety TOTAL 8.7 6.2 7.1 7.3 One can learn a lot about a health brand by its collab co-signs. Since its founding in 2016 by recovering addict/ex-con/ur-patriot Aaron Singerman, Redcon1 has hitched its star to Nascar and the US military, along with junk-food brands like Hostess and the newly revitalized soda brand Jolt Cola. This handily explains its expansive selection of kooky supplement flavors, which are essentially drinkable pastries that allege to help you get swole. When prepared per the suggestion of its packaging, the combo of about 30 grams of cookies 'n' cream powder mixed with 6 ounces of water yields a thick beige liquid that's punctuated by little black clumps of cookie dust. It's as weird as it is tasty, and if I weren't already the type of person who thought a selfie in front of an Arby's was a solid Tinder profile pic, I would probably be ashamed to like this as much as I did. Once you get used to the sweet and dusty bits of cookie that bust open when you chew them, this is a fun ride for anyone who can hang. Redcon1's MRE series is technically a protein powder, but it's heavy on protein for its rather diminutive calorie count, making it a fine meal replacement assuming you have a salad or some other fibrous food item on deck for lunch or dinner. One 6-ounce glass of this candy-like slurry filled me right up in the morning, and I was good to go until salad time rolled around at noon. Cost per serving: Around $1 Other flavors available: Banana Nut Bread, Blueberry Cobbler, Chocolate, Chocolate Mousse, Fudge Brownie, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Cookie, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake, Snickerdoodle, Strawberry Shortcake, Vanilla Milkshake Allergens: Milk, egg, fish, tree nuts, wheat, soy Protein: 24 g Calories: 130 Carbs: 4 g Fat: 2 g Caffeine: No
