Samsung has introduced its V7 ultrasound system, which the company said received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial use.
Samsung's V7 ultrasound recently received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. Image courtesy of Boston Imaging.V7 is designed to be used for a wide range of clinical applications, according to Boston Imaging, the company's U.S. headquarters. The system comes with the following Intelligent Assist features:
- 2D Follicle, an automated measurement tool that provides information about follicle status during gynecology examinations by identifying and measuring follicle size based on 2D images.
- AutoIMT, a screening tool to analyze a patient's potential risk for cardiovascular disease.
- S-Shearwave Imaging, a tool that noninvasively assesses and documents tissue stiffness for clinical applications including breast and liver.
- UterineAssist, an artificial intelligence technology that automatically measures the size and shape of the uterus.
- E-Cervix, an elastography technology that provides a semi-quantitative assessment of cervical canal stiffness.
The V7 also applies an eco-friendly resin cover to the air vent exterior cover and reusable eco paper packaging composed of recycled paper, the company said.
![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)
