Here We Recognize The Lipidology Specialist

Lipidology

Lipidologists are discovering the value of ultrasound visualization for assessing, diagnosing and determining treatment options for their patients. There is growing interest in providing cardiovascular disease management screening tools, such as carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements, at the point of care.

SonoSite works closely with lipidologists to develop imaging equipment that meets the rapidly expanding clinical requirements required in their practices. Hand-carried ultrasound can be used in these practices to assess structures, such as the abdomen, aorta, kidneys, gallbladder, thyroid, and soft tissue. It can also be used to manage and treat cardiovascular disease processes with screening tools such as SonoCalc® IMT software and embedded CIMT calculations. These tools generate summarized reports which are both used to compare with published study results and monitor patient progress over time for cardiovascular disease management.

SonoSite Offers a Range of Customized Products That Provide

• Advanced imaging features for exceptional image quality with minimal key strokes
• Fluid-resistant for easy cleaning and disinfection
• Under 20 seconds from cold start to scanning
• Custom use models for point-of-care applications
• Built to exceed U.S. military specifications for durability
• Industry leading 5-year warranty
• Extensive training and education programs

What Our Customers Have to Say

“I couldn’t imagine doing my job without ultrasound.”

—John Postley, MD, New York Physicians Group, New York, New York

“Since we started offering CIMT to our practice’s patients, we’ve seen a change. We have had an increase in referrals from other physicians in the community who want this service for their patients, who want to engage with their patients at that level of communication in cardiovascular disease and risk.”

—Bryan Pogue, MD, Heart Prevention Clinic of Idaho, Boise, Idaho
