The installation of an Hitachi Hi-Vision 900 ultrasound system, including real-time tissue elastography, at Kings College Hospital, in South London, now extends the clinical reach for general ultrasound, gynae, endo-anal, testicular and detailed liver scans.

HI-RTE is an innovative diagnostic tool for the assessment and real-time colour display of tissue elasticity.
