Unprecedented image quality, ultra-fast and straightforward 4D volume navi-
gation and advanced wall motion assessment using Toshiba’s proprietary 3D
speckle tracking technology are now a reality. These are practical innovations
that help you gain greater diagnostic safety and effi ciency, and your patients
to enjoy greater peace of mind.
Artida’s SmartCore engine employs the distributed processing power of
more than 80 processor cores interconnected by an extremely fast digital
system interface. In fact, the SmartCore engine is so powerful it can process
an amount of data equal to more than a fully loaded DVD every single
second.
Featuring Toshiba’s unique and innovative iStyle TM ergonomics and workfl ow
package, Artida is pioneering new levels of effi ciency and convenience in
your daily clinical practice. Every aspect of Artida is designed to support you
in carrying out your examinations more effi ciently and in an ergonomically
correct, neutral posture.
A workstation solution gives you full access to your clinical data and diagnostic
toolset for convenient review, reporting, analysis wherever and whenever needed.
With full DICOM connectivity including embedded raw data functionality and
IHE compliance, Artida integrates seamlessly into all networked clinical
environments.
Unleashing the power
of vision.
Engineered to help you get the information
you need to make the right decisions quickly,
Artida
TM
elevates echocardiography to a new
level of imaging performance and diagnostic
accuracy.

Evaluating patients in today’s demanding clinical
environment requires innovative technology
allowing diagnosis to happen in less time and
with greater confidence. Featuring a broad range
of unique, clinically validated imaging functions,
Artida expands your clinical utility while improving
patient care.
Artida’s MultiCast beamformer uses advanced
digital signal processing to control the shape
of the ultrasound beam a hundred times more
precisely and flexibly than in comparable systems.
Notable performance improvements, such as a
simultaneous multiple transmit focus or double
frame rate in color Doppler mode, help you expedite
exams while improving your diagnostic accuracy.
With SmartFocus
Toshiba is the first to introduce
genuine 4D technology to conventional 2D imaging
transducers. A significantly finer and more uniform
ultrasonic beam in all three dimensions results in
superb image quality from the very near to the far
field.
Pulse SubtractionTM Tissue Harmonic Imaging
offers superior greyscale image quality by providing
enhanced spatial and contrast resolution while
simultaneously increasing penetration.
Artida’s new Tissue Enhancement Mode delivers
ultrasonic images of stunning smoothness and
clarity. While it suppresses white noise effectively,
the Tissue Enhancement Mode improves image
uniformity and endocardial border delineation
dramatically, especially in difficult-to-scan
patients.
Designed to minimize operator stress and increase efficiency, Toshiba’s SmartFocus transducers
feature lightweight, ergonomic housings and thin, super-flexible cables.
