Siemens Medical Solutions introduced enhancements for its ACUSON Sequoia Ultrasound Platform at the recent American Heart Association conference, which improve left ventricular function assessment while improving clinical workflow.

The Encompass III release further enhances the ergonomics and workflow features offered on both the Encompass I and II releases for the Sequoia platform. The release also includes Axius Auto EF, a proprietary CAD technology that automatically calculates ejection fraction without the need for operator interaction.
