 PROFILE
Visible soundO. What a concept! Acuson is a leading maker of ultrasound equipment. Acuson's products use sound waves to produce images of hard and soft tissue; these images are used in obstetrics and for diagnosing diseases like cancer. In addition to its ultrasound systems, the company makes archiving and retrieval systems and has developed (with the Mayo Clinic) a cardiac catheter that allows images to be made from within the heart. The company sells its products to hospitals, clinics, and other health care facilities across the globe. Acuson is a subsidiary of Siemens Medical Engineering.
