Powerful Imaging

Powerful precise imaging starts with diagnostic accuracy and consistency. This requires an ultrasound system designed with unique imaging technologies that will deliver accurate and reproducible results no matter who the patient is, no matter who’s operating the system, no matter who’s reading the images.

Single crystal 3T™ technology
Featuring a unique single crystal 3T™ technology, paired with 12-beam and 128-channel signal processing, the ACUSON Bonsai system provides precise imaging results. One-touch image optimization and advanced imaging capabilities further enhance clinical outcomes and ease-of-use.

Single crystal 3T technology has a proprietary:

• Triple-matching layer design for higher sensitivity, wider bandwidth, and improved S/N.
• Total-cut design for lower cross-talk noise, better directivity, and improved lateral resolution.
• Thermal-control design for better acoustic transmission and better S/N.

The power of the ACUSON Bonsai system will allow you to do pharmacological stress tests with contrast where ever needed.

Quick image optimization

Echo Boost™ (Auto Image Optimization)
PLAX view using the SP5-1s transducer with Echo Boost™, iClear™ (Speckle Suppression Imaging) and iTouch™ (Auto Gain Optimization). Echo boost improves the homogeneity of cardiac images throughout the whole field of view.

iBeam™ (Spatial Compound Imaging)
Carotid artery using the L10-3s transducer with iBeam™.

LGC (Lateral Gain Control)
Apical two chamber view using the SP5-1s with LGC sector 3 & 4 enabled highlighting the endocardial border of the left ventricle.

HDR Flow (High Dynamic Range)
Apical four chamber view using the SP5-1s transducer with HDR Flow which simultaneously visualizes low flow and high flow states.

Exceptional Performance

Transforming care delivery is about access and efficiency. It starts with improving access to precise care and delivery. Once in the system, care delivery is predominantly about efficiency – increased workforce productivity and optimized clinical operations.

With the ACUSON Bonsai system you can confidently assess your cardiovascular patients with a complete set of user-friendly applications: Auto EF, stress echo, strain, auto IMT, and anatomical M-mode. These highly focused features support all your routine cardiovascular exams, allowing you to support more patients in more environments.

Relax knowing that you have exceptional performance in a compact system to complete your routine exams – from pediatric and adult routine echo to TEE and vascular.

For all your routine echo exams

AutoEF (Automatic Ejection Fraction measurement)
Apical four chamber view using the SP5-1s transducer with results from one click AutoEF.

Stress Echo with LVO (Left Ventricular Opacification)
Assess LV function using the SP5-1s transducer during a stress echo exam using LVO Contrast Imaging (UWN (Ultra-Wideband Non-linear)+ Contrast Imaging™)³.

Strain/Strain Rate (Tissue Tracking Quantitative Analysis)
Apical four chamber view quantifying left ventricular longitudinal strain with Tissue Tracking Quantitative Analysis.

Auto IMT (Automatic Intima-media thickness measurement)
The intima-media of the carotid artery is highlighted using the Auto IMT feature.

Portable Workflow

Improving access to care has many dimensions. Access is about availability – about making care available everywhere.

Whether mounted on the user-friendly cart or hand-carried, the ergonomic design of the ACUSON Bonsai system provides the ergonomic functionality required to optimize the cardiovascular environment. Its slim profile makes it easy to transport and store. Multiple applications and customizable function keys improve workflow and patient care through customizable measurements and reports.

Siemens Healthineers – taking Ultrasound to new heights

Today, every health system struggles with rising costs and varying quality. Diagnoses and treatments are designed with the typical patient in mind. Delivery of care is often fragmented and focused on volume. The patient experience journey is in its infancy. And healthcare does not yet leverage the full potential of data.

At Siemens Healthineers, we believe that transformational changes will make it possible to turn today’s challenges into opportunities. That is why it is our mission to enable healthcare providers to achieve better outcomes at lower costs by helping institutions to transform care delivery and improve the overall patient experience.
