The MyLab™Eight system is the culmination of Esaote's commitment to R&D to meet the increasing demands of the modern healthcare environment of outstanding image quality and ease of use.

Confident Diagnosis

The MyLab™Eight system incorporates the new eMPowered Engine to optimize high-density single crystal transducers to enable images to be captured deeper in the body, with unprecedented quality, even for difficult-to-scan patients. The new WideView visualization technology offers sharp diagnostic image clarity with enhanced spatial and contrast resolution. With high-frequency imaging, advanced hemodynamic evaluation tools such as XFlow and HD CFM, and a complete portfolio of probes, Esaote offers solutions covering Radiology, Cardiovascular, Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as Interventional and Surgery.

As a leader in Interventional Ultrasound and Fusion Imaging we are excited to see the positive impact this will provide to our customer and their patients."

Productivity and Comfort

Esaote's focus on the prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders can be experienced through a new design approach incorporating our award-winning appleprobe transducers, and the MyLabRemote, an interface App that allows the MyLab™Eight system to be controlled via smartphone or tablet. The touchscreen-based workflow offers intuitive commands so the system can be easily operated in any scanning condition. Wireless and wired connectivity offer numerous data saving and transmission options.

"MyLab™Eight represents the Esaote effort in developing a system whose main characteristics are focused on wide-ranging diagnostic capability, completeness of tools, use flexibility and configuration modularity to properly meet today's most demanding ultrasound clinical needs," said Leonardo Forzoni, Esaote's Clinical Marketing Manager for Ultrasound. "Our strength to reach the target of clinical efficacy and diagnostic confidence has been achieved through the development of our empowered platform and a full portfolio of new technologies, such as high-density single crystal transducers together with WideView high definition IPS visualization technology. Thus enhancing image quality and related clinical information."
