Based on ALPINION’s superb imaging technologies and deep penetration, E-CUBE 9, a new
concept in ultrasound diagnostic systems, provides outstanding imaging performance.
The E CUBE 9 delivers high-quality images without case dependency when diagnosing
high volume patients through the integration of core technologies from unique image
processing technology. Microscopic image differences enhance an efficient and accurate
diagnosis along with patient throughput. ALPINION realizes the importance of quality, from
transducers to ultrasound systems, and is dedicated to independently developing superior
core-imaging technologies.
