Image quality and advanced functions ensure premium

performance whatever the clinical application.

The Noblus has premium features that can be exploited in many different clinical situations. Although compact in

design, the Noblus incorporates the powerful transmission and reception capability of the Ultra BE (Ultrasound

Broadband Engine), enabling functions such as Hitachi Real-time Tissue Elastography* (HI-RTE) and

dynamic Contrast Harmonic Imaging* (dCHI), modalities that can offer increased diagnostic confidence.

Measures and displays tissue stiffness in real-time.
Contrast Harmonic Imaging * (dCHI)
Features the Alternate Mode, a simultaneous dual display of the
fundamental B-mode and the contrast enhanced mode to facilitate
anatomical correlation.

Smile Yellow, colour of the sun

How can examinations be made more friendly for patients? Hitachi's answer is “Smile Yellow”.
It was developed from the image of sunlight, with the aspiration that it will bring a smile
to your patients' faces. With wavelengths similar to sunlight, Smile Yellow will maintain its
bright and friendly colour, regardless of the ambient lighting, providing your patients with
a calm, relaxing environment.

Smile Yellow is the colour chosen by the Hitachi Medical group for all their diagnostic imaging devices. An example showing “Smile Yellow” colour
