Rand will discuss the ability to visualize the needle during interventions using Simple Needle Visualization (SNV®) software, available only on Konica Minolta’s ultrasound systems. SNV provides greater needle visibility of the needle, shaft and injectate for confident needle placement and delivery of the biologic. Also, Rand can provide the information his physicians need for a more confident diagnosis of the patient’s injury or pain with the excellent image quality provided by the SONIMAGE® HS2 Portable Ultrasound System.
“The benefits of using ultrasound in an orthopedic practice are numerous, from faster diagnosis to minimally invasive interventions and enhanced patient satisfaction,” says
In the US, it is estimated that one in two adults over age 18 and three in four adults over age 65 are impacted by a musculoskeletal (MSK) disease.1 The cost to treat major MSK diseases is greater than many other health conditions, and this healthcare burden is expected to increase as the US population continues to age.1 The use of ultrasound in orthopedic practices has been referred to as “the orthopedic surgeon’s stethoscope” as it enhances early detection of pathologies such as tendon tears, tiny calcifications in soft tissue and destructive and reparative hypertrophic changes on bone surfaces, as well as other MSK conditions.2
In addition to the lunch and learn, Konica Minolta is also supporting several workshops at PAOS with ultrasound equipment, enabling physician assistants to gain hands-on experience using advanced MSK ultrasound systems. Both the SONIMAGE HS2 and the SONIMAGE® MX1 Portable Ultrasound Systems offer dedicated MSK protocols to scan both deep and superficial joints and structures. Additional features help optimize imaging parameters, detect blood flow and deliver workflow efficiency with focused ultrasound exams that minimize the user learning curve.
