Aplio i800 / Prism Edition: High-frequency transducers for easier interventional treatment

At Real Madrid, Canon Medical's Aplio i800 / Prism Edition is utilized for all interventional procedures, including ultrasound-guided muscle hematoma evacuation and injections guidance in the joints and tendons.

The high-frequency "hockeystick" transducer plays an especially important role during treatment due to its very fine footprint that allows easy access for imaging superficial areas in hard to reach anatomical places. Its ergonomic design makes it easier to avoid contact with certain structures such as vascular nerves. It also provides high resolution imaging all the way from the near to far field.
