BabyUltrasoundSeimens new ACUSON S2000 ultrasound system boats a new feature from an unlikely source:  Support for 3D Imaging and visualization care of NVidia’s 3D Vision stereoscopic glasses and NVidia QuadroFX cards.

“This technology takes 3D/4D ultrasound imaging to the next level,” said Barbara Del Prince, Global Segment Manager, Obstetrics and Gynecology at Siemens. “Our fourSight Workplace, combined with the NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics solution and 3D Vision technology, offers a truly remarkable experience that's rewarding for parents and their doctors, while also delivering practical benefits in medicine.” This quality improvement may provide additional information to the physician and assist in communication with surgeons and patients or to aid in treatment or surgical planning.

Demonstrated at the RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, it’s a full implementation of quad-buffered stereo on Dell Precision T5500 workstations and a SamSung 2233RZ 22-inch LCD Television.

    We are the proud parents of a one year old an a two year old and all I can say is that this technology will bring huge benefit to future parents. Also, my wife is a doctor so she will get double benefit from it.

    This is very worthwhile use of technology and I hope that further efforts are made to enhance it.
