FUJIFILM Sonosite recently introduced the UHF46-20 Transducer, the world’s first and only 46-MHz ultra-high frequency (UHF) transducer for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). With a minimum scan depth of 4mm, the UHF46-20 Transducer enables 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. 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. 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.
