PEABODY, Mass., 2013-03-14 17:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Analogic Corporation (Nasdaq:ALOG), enabling the world's medical imaging and
aviation security technology, will showcase for the first time its entire suite
of ultrasound solutions that are Analogic Ultrasound at the 28th Annual
European Association of Urology (EAU) Congress in Milan, Italy, March 15-19.
The Company's expanded line of products, including the gold standard BK Medical

and the exclusive transducer technology from Sound Technology, address the
growing needs of urology imaging from large university medical centers to small
clinics and physicians' offices worldwide.
'Analogic Ultrasound offers clinicians an easier way to maximize ultrasound
solutions to meet their daily needs in urologic imaging,' said Lars Shaw, vice
president of global marketing. 'The BK Medical Flex Focus(tm) family of systems
with Quantum Technology(tm), triplane imaging for lesion targeting during
biopsies, and advanced solution for robotic-assisted surgery provide a new
level of precision and access during minimally invasive procedures. In
addition, the Ultrasonix branded SonixTouch and SonixTablet systems expand our
product portfolio, enabling us to offer physicians a comprehensive suite of
sophisticated solutions, particularly for smaller clinics and office-based
practices.'
Analogic completed its acquisition of Ultrasonix Medical Corporation in March
2013. Ultrasonix offers a broad portfolio of ultrasound solutions with over
5,000 systems installed worldwide. Analogic Ultrasound includes Sound
Technology, a company with over 20 years of experience developing ultrasound
transducers to address the most challenging requirements of ultrasound imaging.
Analogic acquired Sound Technology in 2002.
'We are very excited to highlight Analogic Ultrasound's expanded portfolio at
the prestigious EAU, as we showcase our market-leading, procedure-driven mobile
ultrasound systems and advanced, unique transducer technology,' said Farley
Peechatka, senior vice president and general manager of Analogic's Global
Ultrasound Business.
Analogic will highlight the premium performance Flex Focus 800, Flex Focus 500,
and the Ultraview 800 ultrasound systems that incorporate Quantum Technology.
Quantum Technology offers image quality enhancements including improved
contrast resolution, as well as gray scale maps and image pre-sets, making it
easier and quicker to obtain the highest quality images. In addition, it
incorporates unique Vector Flow Imaging* (VFI) mode, enabling angle independent
visualization of blood flow, and an excellent color Doppler mode, enabling
superb spatial resolution. Key benefits also include harmonic imaging for
imaging extremely difficult-to-image patients.
Analogic's fully featured, premium performance BK Medical systems are ideally
suited for surgery, including robotic-assisted surgery, urology, and general
imaging. The Ultraview 800 system also has contrast imaging capabilities**, and
both the Flex Focus 800 and UltraView 800 systems have a HistoScanning(tm)dagger ready
option.
The Ultrasonix branded systems offer high-end imaging for busy practices and a
suite of features that may potentially reduce procedure times and increase
confidence levels. Purchasable options include SonixShine(tm) needle enhancement
and elastography imaging for identifying tissue stiffness, and contrast imaging
capabilities.
