The best image quality allows a diagnosis to happen quickly and with confidence. Each of Aplio’s unique imaging technologies provides you with better image quality by reducing noise, strengthening signal and improving visualization. The system’s revolutionary High Density Beamformer uses the most advanced digital signal processing to control the ultrasonic beams more precisely and flexibly.
ApliPure™+ combines the advantages of spatial and frequency compounding to provide you with images of unsurpassed uniformity and detail while preserving clinically significant markers such as shadows behind echo-dense objects.
Differential Tissue Harmonics provides clinical images of unsurpassed spatial resolution and contrast, alongside with greatly increased penetration, taking outstanding tissue definition to deeper regions than ever before.
Canon Medical’s innovative Superb Micro-Vascular Imaging (SMI) technology expands the range of visible blood flow and provides visualization of low velocity microvascular flow never before seen with ultrasound. SMI’s level of vascular visualization, combined with high frame rates, advances diagnostic confidence when evaluating lesions, cysts and tumors, improving patient outcomes and experience.
By removing anatomical background information, the monochrome mode reveals the finest vasculature with high sensitivity.
Color-coded SMI demonstrates flow and grayscale information with high temporal and spatial resolution simultaneously.
Traditional color Doppler imaging (left picture) removes clutter from the images by suppressing low velocity components, resulting in a loss of flow in tiny vessels. SMI (right picture) separates flow from overlaying tissue motion effectively, while preserving even the subtlest low-flow components with unmatched detail and definition.
Both the busy clinician and the patient can benefit from high-resolution imaging and volumetric ultrasound. Aplio’s comprehensive volume imaging suite extends your diagnostic capabilities into the next dimension of imaging with extraordinary image quality and uncompromised workflow
Advanced Dynamic Flow™ adds superior spatial resolution to color Doppler imaging to reveal minute vasculature and complex flow patterns with unprecedented accuracy and detail while fully maintaining the B-mode image quality.
Luminance provides a softer, more natural visualization of the skin resulting in images of exceptional quality and detail. The function’s freely movable light source gives you strong visual feedback on depth and detail.
Aplio’s MultiView provides a very effective tool for the assessment of lesions and their associated structures. The function allows you to cut a given volume in any direction to reveal high-resolution off-axis views that can further enhance your diagnostic confidence.
Fly Thru is a stunning technology that lets you virtually dive into a volume data set to explore cavities, ducts and vessels from the inside and in 3D. Being comparable to virtual endoscopy, Fly Thru adds cross-sectional ultrasound information to the plain surface data, making it an expert tool for exploring lesions and ingrowing masses, as well as to assist in planning and follow-up of interventions such as placing stents or grafts.
A complete range of volume imaging transducers is available for Aplio. Their compact and lightweight design delivers outstanding image quality in an ergonomic housing.
PERFORMANCE MEETS INTELLIGENCE
Aplio’s unique iStyle™+ productivity suite provides you with a full host of technologies that offer ergonomic relief by reducing keystrokes, improving workflow and raising the consistency of exams. A smaller, lighter form gives you greater maneuverability while the fully configurable console and intelligent workflow support functions and enable faster exams and greater productivity.
Aplio 500’s compact design with height-adjustable console and fully articulating monitor arm enables you to create an ergonomic work environment in virtually any clinical setting. The system’s premium LCD screen with four-axis arm can move and swivel into perfect position for better viewing and to protect you from neck, shoulder and eye strain.
Aplio’s 3D multifunctional keys offer four degrees of freedom for outstanding usability. Their mode-sensitive function is fully programmable and displayed in the adjacent touch screen in an easy-to-understand manner.
Changing presets during an exam can disrupt your workflow; because system settings need to be optimized from scratch. The fully programmable Quick Start menu allows you to adjust only the relevant parameter set at a single touch of a button.
QuickScan allows you to achieve greater consistency in your exams by ensuring that superb image quality is the benchmark at all times. With a simple push of a button, you can automatically optimize image quality in 2D and spectral Doppler modes.
Aplio’s protocol assistant provides a reliable method to ensure that the same exam is performed from patient to patient. Once activated the tool automatically launches a clear, easy-to-read on-screen menu that will guide you through your exam.
Our unique iStyle+ productivity suite provides you with a full host of technologies that offer ergonomic relief by reducing keystrokes, improving workflow and raising the consistency of exams. A smaller, lighter form gives you greater maneuverability while the fully configurable console and intelligent workflow support functions enable faster exams and greater productivity.
You can customize Aplio’s console to suit your clinical needs and personal preferences simply by reassigning functions to the keys of your choice.
This results in better reach, fewer keystrokes and a shorter learning curve.
The mode-sensitive touch screen, which is now also programmable, enables direct access to complex measurements, labels and advanced functions.
Aplio’s compact design with adjustable console and fully articulating monitor arm enables you to create an ergonomic work environment virtually in any clinical setting.

ADVANCED TOOLS TO HELP YOU BETTER EVALUATE DISEASE
Powered by the industry’s most advanced Realtime Application Platform, Aplio 500 provides you with a complete range of exclusive, clinically proven technologies to increase your diagnostic confidence. By giving you valuable additional information in easy-to-understand visual, parametric and quantitative formats, these advanced technologies can help you avoid supplementary exams to get your diagnostic answer. Thus, you can save expenses and enhance your department’s productivity.
Aplio’s comprehensive contrast imaging package supports an ample variety of standard and specialty transducers allowing you to assess perfusion dynamics in a wide range of clinical settings.
The system’s complete elastography solution with raw data functionality assists you in localizing and assessing palpable masses with high accuracy, sensitivity and reproducibility in a wide range of clinical settings.
Canon Medical’s shear wave technology provides a dynamic visual display of tissue stiffness in a variety of clinical settings ranging from abdominal to small parts examinations. The highly accurate and reproducible tool provides fully integrated measurement and reporting.
Aplio’s Smart Maps allow you to visualize and quantify shear wave propagation in a user-defined region of interest in realtime. The user can select both dynamic propagation speed and elasticity displays for visual assessment and quantification.
Shear waves are generated inside the human body by means of an ultrasonic burst (left picture). Depending on tissue stiffness, shear waves travel at varying speed, but generally very slowly through the human body. Their propagation can be followed and visualized using conventional ultrasound imaging techniques.
Correlating different imaging modalities in realtime allows you to locate difficult lesions faster, to navigate complex anatomy securely, and to improve your confidence while carrying out invasive procedures. Intelligent target markers further facilitate navigating in the region of interest.
Aplio’s Smart Navigation option helps to enhance precision and patient safety during ultrasound-guided treatment procedures. Color-coded, virtual biopsy lines corresponding with the needle positions allow you to track up to three biopsy needles simultaneously.
Canon Medical’s Biopsy Enhancement Auto Mode (BEAM) provides a clearer visualization of biopsy needles in the live ultrasound image. BEAM works with all common needle sizes and selects the optimal scan angle automatically..
Aplio’s Center Marker is a handy tool for matching the position of a given lesion or region of interest seen in the ultrasound image with the corresponding spot on the skin surface or vice versa. The Center Marker can help facilitate biopsies or procedures involving other imaging modalities.
