When it comes to the most pressing clinical issues, Washington Imaging Services uses the industry's most advanced ultrasound technology to find the answers. Both our Bellevue and Issaquah locations now offer the ACUSON Antares ultrasound system from Siemens.

This cutting edge system combines superior image quality with advanced workflow across a wide range of imaging applications. This means exams are faster and more comfortable for patients while allowing our technicians to gain more insight and information from every scan for a confident diagnosis on any patient, even the technically difficult-to-image.

Innovative Imaging Technologies
The Antares delivers consistent, high-quality performance from routine scans to contrast agent imaging to 3D and 4D imaging. Referring clinicians and their patients will benefit from the system's robust capabilities in addressing all imaging applications: OB/GYN, vascular, small parts, abdomen, pediatrics, cardiac, stress echo and volumetric imaging.

By investing in the latest technology in ultrasound, WIS is bringing the most advanced diagnostic capabilities to our imaging centers. Our new Antares system offers these state-of-the art features:

  • Cutting edge color Doppler imaging with excellent sensitivity and spatial resolution for enhanced views of organs and structures.
    Enhancement technology provides exceptional contrast resolution and clearer delineation of vascular structures.

Better Imaging Means Better Outcomes
While the Antares ultrasound system's features are noteworthy, it's real benefit is in providing patients with a faster, more comfortable exam that yields more definitive information about their unique clinical situation.

The clarity of images captured and the data they reveal allow our radiologists and referring clinicians to make diagnostic decisions that can improve the treatment and outcome for all patients.
