Dr. Eftichia Kontopoulos from The Fetal Institute Miami presents advanced workflow techniques for ultrasound for multiple pregnancies using Samsung’s HERA Z20 system. The presentation covers various workflow enhancement features that significantly improve efficiency in twin and triplet evaluations.
EzStructure provides one-button imaging optimization for anatomical structures including brain, extremities, spine, abdomen, and fetal heart. This customizable tool eliminates the need for manual parameter adjustments, streamlining the imaging process for multiple fetal assessments.
EzFlow revolutionizes Doppler assessment in twins by optimizing color and pulse wave imaging parameters automatically. This feature is essential for evaluating conditions like twin-twin transfusion syndrome, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, and selective intrauterine growth restriction. The system enables quick acquisition of optimal vascular structure images while linking to pulse wave measurement packages.
EzCheck functions as a comprehensive checklist system to prevent medical errors through omission. This feature provides both list and grid display formats to ensure all required imaging has been completed during the examination, particularly valuable given the complexity of multiple pregnancy evaluations. The system displays missing items and provides popup warnings to ensure comprehensive examinations.
These integrated Z20 workflow enhancements demonstrate significant improvements in examination efficiency and accuracy for ultrasound for multiple pregnancies. The combined technologies enable healthcare providers to deliver more precise diagnoses while reducing examination time, particularly beneficial when managing the complex requirements of twin and triplet assessments with their extensive imaging protocols.
