MedCorp Unveils New Branding Including Refreshed Logo and All-New Website
April 15, 2010
MedCorp, The Direct Source for Ultrasound, announces its new branding campaign launched on April 15, 2010. The campaign incorporates a refreshed logo, a brand new website and a more focused tag line.
While the logo (as seen above) provides a new look for MedCorp, the update does maintain brand integrity from its predecessor. "It was vital to us as a company to have the new logo be an update of our current one," said Managing Partner Chris Munyon. "The "Quad M's" of our logo really identifies us as a brand, so made sure we kept that in tact."
Along with the logo, MedCorp's tagline was also updated to "The Direct Source for Ultrasound". Being a stocking dealer and boasting the most experienced and knowledgable staff in the industry, MedCorp truly embodies the tag line.
Delivering both the refreshed logo and the new tagline is MedCorp's all new website located at http://www.medcorpllc.com. Leveraging new technologies and a web 2.0 design sytle, the website delivers an easy navigation and a pleasing product to the visitors. The site focuses on what MedCorp customers want to see; information about ultrasound machines available, quick links to the reconditioning process and a detailed description on the MedCorp quality.
New Ultrasound Elastography Capability Added to the GE Logiq E9
April 10, 2010
GE Healthcare has announced at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine's (AIUM) 2010 Annual Convention in San Diego that it has added Ultrasound Elastography capabilities to its Logiq E9 platform.
The feature utilizes a high frequency E series tranducer with a simple compression technique which makes procedures easier and more easily reproducible.
LOGIQ E9 elastography is a tool that helps provide a gentle way to obtain information about internal tissue structures and has the potential to assist in patient management decisions, increase diagnostic confidence and help lead to fewer invasive procedures.
A First Time Diagnosis via MRI in a Prenatal Case
April 1, 2010
In what is being celebrated as a first time diagnosis in the United States (and fourth world-wide) by means of a prenatal MRI, doctors at the Packard Children's Hospital successfully diagnosed a rarely caught disorder, congenital chloride diarrhea or CCD.
CCD can cause severe dehydration in newborns, so, armed with the knowledge of the baby's diagnosis, doctors were able to properly prepare and monitor the baby just after birth and have reported a successful outcome.
Being able to diagnosis this disorder early is most important in being able to effectively combat it. Technology in Ultrasound Machines and other imaging equipment makes that possible.
