With the Aplio MX, NORTHSTAR Health System is able to complete the same advanced ultrasound exams that are usually performed with larger, more expensive ultrasound systems. NORTHSTAR is using the high-end radiology capabilities of the system to perform a full spectrum of exams, including breast, OB, abdomen, vascular studies, and echocardiograms. Additionally, the Aplio MX allowed NORTHSTAR Health System to start a vein clinic to treat varicose vein patients, along with utilizing the system for vein mapping and OR procedures. Ultrasound is particularly beneficial for varicose vein patients, as it clearly visualizes the veins for treatment planning without radiation dose.
