BK Medical Active Imaging Systems

Real-time intraoperative ultrasound

Ultra high-resolution Imaging for Urology

Exceptional Prostate Imaging

View real-time, ultra high-definition prostate images in sagittal and transverse planes for potentially faster examinations and biopsy procedures. Elastography helps identify regions of interest to perform more targeted and confident biopsies. Our unique Triplane transducer with simultaneous biplane and endfire imaging capabilities allows you to interrogate the gland from apex to bladder neck.

Premium Kidney, Bladder, and Testes Imaging

The bk3000 enables exceptional kidney imaging, measurement, and biopsies. You’ll see fine anatomical details and variations, and measure flow. Excellent Doppler spatial and temporal resolution allows you to see vascularization not normally seen with conventional ultrasound.

Enhanced Lesion Targeting with Fusion-Guided Biopsies

The combination of MRI and real-time ultrasound is designed to enable more precise, targeted, prostate biopsies. bkFusion offers an easy and familiar workflow to make prostate biopsy procedures in either the free-hand transrectal or the transperineal approach as efficient as possible.

See More During Prostate Interventions

With the ability to see more with the bk3000 during ultrasound-guided prostate brachytherapy and cryotherapy, you’ll be able to manage treatment with greater confidence. Advanced imaging features, dedicated transducers, measurement and calculation packages help differentiate and visualize tissue structures. Brachytherapy tools, including the biplane transducer and connection to planning systems, enable smooth workflow.

Designed for Surgery

Ultrasound can advance intraoperative surgical procedures by helping you navigate and identify lesions and anatomical structures in real-time. This is particularly important as the data obtained from a preoperative CT or MRI scan can be outdated at the time of surgery.

The bk5000 surgical system provides the highest quality images that allow you to clearly see the margins of a lesion and to determine the best course of action. Using advanced graphics processing technology, this powerful system provides immediate, auto-optimized images that allow you to see the information you need, faster.

Sterilisable remote control for convenient control of the system in the sterile field.

FAST. FLEXIBLE. EFFECTIVE.

bkFusion is a fast, flexible, and effective MRI-ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy solution. bkFusion is clinically proven to have effective detection rates1, it has a fast and simple workflow designed for urologists, and it offers the flexibility to choose from a range of options for transperineal and transrectal prostate biopsies.

bkFusion is the only MRI-ultrasound fusion solution guaranteed to work with your BK Medical ultrasound system and is powered by unique Predictive Fusion® software for image registration that you can rely on.

RESULTS YOU CAN TRUST

With bkFusion, you can confidently target your biopsy with clear visualization of organ borders to help detect registration errors or deformations in real-time.

bkFusion is the only MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy solution featuring BK’s proprietary imaging algorithms developed with high spatial, temporal, and contrast resolution for advanced visualization.

INTEGRATED FOR FAST, SEAMLESS OPERATION

With bkFusion, complex doesn’t have to be complicated. bkFusion biopsies have been recorded to be as fast as seven minutes.2

bkFusion’s completely integrated, single-operator solution enables seamless and efficient use by a urologist, so you can maintain control throughout your procedure.

NO CALIBRATION STEP. NO 3D SWEEPS.

bkFusion makes prostate biopsy imaging effortless as there are no additional steps and no disruptions to the familiar biopsy workflow. You do not have to calibrate the system, and there is no need for any 3D sweeps. Experience this easy guided workflow wherever you practice, whether in the OR or a clinic.

CLEARLY VISUALIZE REGISTRATION ERRORS

Do you know how your MRI-ultrasound fusion solution is designed to avoid distortion or hidden errors?

As a result of differences in patient positioning during MRI acquisition and biopsy, one in six lesions are reported in a different sector than they appear during US-guided biopsy.3

bkFusion features innovative Predictive Fusion® technology for optimal reorientation of the supine MRI into LLD or lithotomy position, to prevent registration errors before the procedure begins.

PREDICTIVE FUSION®

Predictive Fusion® is the proprietary bkFusion registration method built for a familiar biopsy workflow. Rigid 2D slice registration eliminates distortion in the merging of 3D shapes.

EVOLVE YOUR PRACTICE WITH BKFUSION

bkFusion is a scalable solution that can evolve with your practice through a variety of supported techniques including transperineal stabilized and freehand or transrectal endfire and sidefire.

OPTIONS FOR MRI CONTOURING

bkFusion offers you additional flexibility to best meet your practice’s MRI contouring needs: rely on your radiology department or radiology software suite for traditional MRI contouring, or take advantage of our partnership with DocPanel for convenient, cost-effective MRI contouring on a pay-per-use basis.

CONCENTRATE ON YOUR PATIENT, NOT YOUR FUSION SYSTEM

Focus on your patient and let bkFusion simplify your patient care beyond the biopsy procedure. As part of the urologist-designed workflow, bkFusion makes pre- and post-biopsy physician communication easy with simple data transfer options. All on your ultrasound system.
