How
Micro-Ultrasound works

See What Conventional Ultrasound Misses

Traditional ultrasound systems operate at 5–9 MHz, allowing the borders of the prostate to be seen, but without much internal detail. ExactVu Micro-Ultrasound operates at 29 MHz, delivering 70-micron near-microscopic resolution, which enables real-time visualization of prostate tissue and ductal structures with unprecedented clarity.

The result: Real-time imaging that reveals structures previously invisible on conventional ultrasound.

Why Frequency Matters

Ultrasound frequency relates to the relationship between image clarity and depth. Higher frequencies produce sharper, more detailed image, but the depth of penetration is reduced. While lower frequencies penetrate deeper but produced less detailed images.

The engineering breakthrough that makes ExactVu possible is the ability to image deeply with higher frequencies allowing unprecedented resolution for even the largest prostates.
