BK Ultrasound, Powered by Analogic, Introduces the bk3500 Ultrasound System

Analogic Corporation (NASDAQ:ALOG) announced the global launch of its new bk3500 ultrasound system, which will be showcased at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) annual meeting, March 18–21, in New York City.
According to the news:

BK Ultrasound’s new bk3500 system with bkHub was designed to satisfy those needs: a robust, slender, easy-to-maneuver high-end ultrasound system, with seamlessly integrated IT functionality, simple guided workflow through a hybrid control panel with icon driven touch screen and superb, high-resolution image quality. With fast boot-up time and integrated battery, clinicians can start quickly, finish faster and move the system to where it is needed. The integrated bar code reader makes patient information entry at the bedside simple and accurate.

In fast-growing point-of-care ultrasound applications such as emergency medicine, physicians focus on the patient, not on imaging equipment. They need to be sure that clinical images and diagnostic reports are available throughout the healthcare system after the exam, and that credentialing or billing does not take more time than the actual exam itself.
