PST-65AT Sector Transducer: Precision Imaging for Pediatric Cardiology
The Toshiba PST-65AT is a specialized sector transducer, crafted to meet the demanding requirements of pediatric cardiac imaging and neonatal head studies. Built on Toshiba's renowned imaging technologies, this transducer provides healthcare professionals with the detailed insights necessary for accurate diagnoses in vulnerable populations, such as infants and children.
Operating across a broad frequency range of 8.5-4.2 MHz, the PST-65AT transducer is specifically tuned to capture high-resolution images of small, intricate anatomical structures. The center frequency of 6.5 MHz ensures that clinicians can obtain exceptional clarity during examinations of the pediatric heart, an area where precise imaging is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment planning.
One of the key benefits of the Toshiba PST-65AT is its ability to offer excellent spatial resolution, which is particularly important when visualizing small and rapidly moving organs like the heart in pediatric patients. The frequency range also allows the transducer to adapt to varying depths and sizes, making it versatile across different applications in neonatal and pediatric care.
The PST-65AT transducer features a 90° sector field of view, enabling clinicians to capture comprehensive and detailed images during examinations. This wide field of view is particularly beneficial when performing scans of neonatal heads and pediatric hearts, as it provides a broad imaging perspective. Clinicians can assess large areas of tissue and anatomical structures in one view, significantly improving the efficiency of the diagnostic process.
The PST-65AT transducer is fully compatible with Toshiba’s Artida ultrasound system, a premier platform known for its advanced cardiac imaging capabilities. This compatibility ensures seamless integration with Artida’s high-end imaging technologies, including 3D Wall Motion Tracking and multi-beat analysis. Artida is particularly well-suited for pediatric cardiology, and when paired with the PST-65AT, it creates a powerful diagnostic tool for examining young patients with heart conditions.
The PST-65AT is a key asset in neonatal and pediatric imaging. It is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of imaging in these delicate populations, where organs are smaller and more sensitive to imaging procedures. Pediatric cardiology requires special attention due to the complexity and variability in congenital heart disease cases, and the PST-65AT is engineered to deliver the precision and sensitivity needed to obtain accurate and reliable images.
For neonatal applications, the transducer’s design minimizes discomfort for the infant, allowing for smooth and effective scanning during critical assessments. The clear, detailed images it produces help clinicians detect conditions early on, providing a foundation for timely medical interventions and improved patient outcomes.
