FUJIFILM VisualSonics产品代理

20+ Years of   Innovation! FUJIFILM VisualSonics designs and manufactures ultra high   frequency in vivo imaging systems, for both research and clinical use.

FUJIFILM VisualSonics specifically focuses on developing ultrasound technology that has been scaled to much higher frequencies than commonly found in many of the conventional ultrasound systems on the market today. As a result, our ultrasound platform provides images at resolutions that far exceed any other system available on the market; as fine as 30 micrometers, clearly differentiating our company 

from our   competitors.

We   originally introduced our technology in the area of preclinical research as   micro-ultrasound, specifically in small animal models of human disease (e.g.   mice or rat models). This coincided with the explosion of the human genome   project (circa 2000), where numerous genetic models of human disease were   developed in small animals.

Study of   these disease models benefited from the use of imaging techniques to follow   the disease progression in vivo, as opposed to using ex vivo methods such as   histology. By using ultra high frequency, researchers were able to use our   technology to study their live animals in real-time, longitudinally, and with   no issues of safety or side effects.

Our   preclinical customers are mostly academic researchers, often involved in the   fields of cardiovascular and cancer research.    Neurobiology and developmental biology are other key areas that are   among an ever growing number of applications. For these customers, funding   for purchasing capital equipment comes mainly through grants. Obtaining   funding is often a challenge and sources of funding may change from time to   time so we constantly need to be aware of these dynamics and help potential   customers navigate through this.

Early in 2016, we launched a new ultra high frequency ultrasound system for clinical use. The clinical space is new to

us and   therefore we are creating a whole new market. This is an exciting time for us   as we are at the forefront of this new field. Initial applications for   clinical use of our ultra high frequency ultrasound system includes   neonatology and pediatrics, vascular, small parts, MSK and dermatology.

Beyond ultrasound, we have also developed a unique photoacoustic technology to expand on the capabilities of our imaging solutions. Photoacoustics is the combination of optical and acoustic imaging, and provides additional and complementary information to what can be seen with ultrasound alone. Examples of this include assessment of blood oxygenation levels, detection of other tissues such as melanin or lipids, or visualization of optical dyes or contrast agents not detectable with ultrasound.
