Both systems also include Biosound Esaote's tissue enhancement imaging (TEI) software, XView real-time noise reduction algorithm, and MView technology for providing more image detail and reducing speckle, artifacts, and shadowing. The units also include the company's VPan tool for panoramic imaging capability, and MyLab Desk software for transferring studies to a PC, Biosound Esaote said.
The vendor also is offering an advanced cardiac package for MyLab30 Gold. This package includes Compass M-Mode (CMM), tissue velocity mapping (TVM), integrated stress echo, XStrain 2D-based strain/strain rate analysis, and contrast-tuned imaging (CnTI) for contrast media procedures.
Purchasers of MyLab25 Gold can also utilize the company's advanced vascular package, which includes the company's QIMT tool for real-time radiofrequency-based carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurement, and transcranial Doppler capability.
An advanced ob/gyn package is also available for the Gold platform, including a new 4D motorized probe and the vendor's X4D technology for 3D/4D ob/gyn imaging in volumetric scanning.

![Examples of ultrasound findings and techniques. (A) Images in a 39-year-old male patient with a mass in the left thigh. The mass is heterogeneous on the B-mode US image (compared with the patient in D) and showed increased microvascularity (superb microvascular imaging [SMI]) and shear-wave elastography (SWE) values. Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy (with pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma in surgical specimen). (B) Images in an 18-year-old male patient with a mass in the left leg. The mass is hypoechoic on the B-mode image, with no other findings suggestive of malignancy. The lesion is in contact with the cortex of the tibia, which is slightly irregular. CT revealed a doubtful anteromedial tibial erosion. The microvascular study demonstrated high vascularization, suggestive of malignancy. Periosteal Ewing sarcoma was diagnosed with both histologic and immunohistochemical confirmation. (C) Images in a 69-year-old female patient with a lump growing on the outside of the left leg. Multiple SWE examinations were performed (please note the high values obtained in the measurements, whereas the color map highlights the stiffness relative to adjacent tissues). SMI showed areas of increased vascularization to target for sampling. Undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with residual leiomyosarcoma in the surgical specimen after neoadjuvant therapy. (D) Images in a 56-year-old female patient with a mass in the right thigh. The mass is heterogeneous at both B-mode ultrasound (similar to patient A) and MRI (coronal T2-weighted spectral attenuated inversion recovery [SPAIR]; T1-weighted pre-contrast and postcontrast imaging), which even shows uptake after the administration of paramagnetic contrast material, which is traditionally suggestive of malignancy. Low values at SMI and elastography are suggestive of benignity. Spindle cell lipoma was diagnosed at biopsy, with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the surgical specimen.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/08/images-radiol250278fig2.APCFLSvX6p.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
