Seeing the unseen

Experience color flow imaging with unmatched detail and definition on Aplio a550. Superb Micro-vascular Imaging (SMI) expands the range of visible blood flow to a level of detail never before seen with diagnostic ultrasound. Exclusive iSMI now also allows you to image larger regions of interest without a reduction in frame rate.

SMI’s level of vascular visualization, combined with high frame rates, advances diagnostic confidence when evaluating lesions, cysts and tumors.

Color-coded SMI allows you to depict flow and greyscale information with high temporal and spatial information simultaneously.

Traditional color Doppler imaging (left) removes clutter from the images by suppressing low-velocity components, resulting in a loss of flow in tiny vessels. SMI (right) separates flow from overlaying tissue motion effectively, while preserving even the subtlest low-flow components with unmatched detail and definition.


Precision+offers outstandingly smooth images with sharpened outline of lesions, enhanced image uniformity and reduced clutter.

ApliPure+compounding delivers increased imaging contrast and reduced speckle noise to improve visualization.

Differential Tissue Harmonics provides harmonic images of unsurpassed spatial resolution, alongside greatly enhanced penetration
