Liver steatosis ultrasound elastography system Hepatus 6

liver fibrosison castersportable

Overview
The Hepatus 6 is a dedicated gastroenterology ultrasound platform that combines Visualized Transient Elastography (ViTE) quantitative stiffness measurements with high-resolution 2D diagnostic imaging to support liver, spleen, bowel and abdominal assessments within a single clinical workflow. The system provides real-time ultrasound guidance for accurate ROI placement and reproducible quantitative evaluation across multi-organ GI exams.

Key Benefits

• Integrates quantitative ViTE elastography and conventional 2D ultrasound for consolidated liver, spleen and bowel assessment.
• Real-time imaging guidance during elastography acquisition to optimize ROI placement and reduce artifacts.
• Scalable, modular transducer portfolio and system architecture to expand clinical applications over time.
• Enterprise-grade connectivity and data tools (DICOM/PACS, SFTP, structured reporting, PDF/CSV export) for secure capture and longitudinal analysis.

One Platform. Multiple GI Applications
The Hepatus 6 is optimized for linear and curved abdominal imaging to support guided biopsy, ascites assessment, hemodynamic evaluation, intestinal ultrasound and in-office GI workflow consolidation.

Guided Workflows

• Real-time ROI positioning and measurement validation with continuous ultrasound visualization.
• Q-Scan Intelligent Acquisition (AI-assisted) to automatically acquire multiple valid measurements and reduce operator variability.
• Real-time Quality Control Index feedback to control probe pressure and motion stability during acquisition.

Liver Assessment

• ViTE quantitative stiffness measurement for fibrosis staging and monitoring.
• LiSA (Liver Ultrasound Attenuation) for steatosis quantification.
• Concurrent 2D imaging for confident ROI selection and visual confirmation during elastography.

Spleen and Intestinal Assessment

• Quantitative spleen stiffness measurement capability to support portal hypertension assessment.
• Supports intestinal ultrasound (IUS) workflows with compatible linear and curved transducers for bowel wall evaluation.

Diagnostic Ultrasound and Workflow
The system delivers full diagnostic 2D ultrasound for abdominal evaluation, biopsy guidance and interventional support while allowing a single transducer to perform both elastography and imaging to streamline exams and reduce set-up time.

Versatile Design
The Hepatus 6 integrates a tablet-based touchscreen mounted on a dedicated cart with multi-transducer holders, cable management and a built-in battery delivering over two hours of operation. Touchscreen controls, transducer and gel holders and a storage basket simplify clinical use.

Comprehensive Solutions for Advanced Imaging

• Multi-organ quantification by combining ViTE elastography with diagnostic ultrasound.
• Consolidated GI imaging platform supporting structured reporting, trend visualization and batch data export for longitudinal monitoring.
• Modular options and transducer choices to tailor the system to specific clinical workflows.

Warranty and Software Updates
The Hepatus 6 includes a five-year system warranty and up to five years of software updates under Mindray's Living Technology program to maintain imaging performance over the product life cycle.
