Transforming Ultrasound
Hera, a Greek goddess, protector of women and childbirth. Fiercely loyal and guardian of the family. Empathetic and caring. Hera represents some of the best and most important moments in life and reflects Samsung’s passion and commitment to life-long healthcare for women. Samsung is now transforming the ultrasound experience for both the clinician and the women they care for with the introduction of Hera. Hera, takes ultrasound to a new level, resulting in more meaningful ultrasounds that may lead to better clinical outcomes and bring calming reassurance to the women they care for. From exquisite image clarity and new technologies to assess blood flow to advanced ergonomics, Hera delivers ultrasound in a way never seen before.

Samsung HERA W10 Ultrasound Machine
Fundamental 2D Imaging, Elevated
2D imaging is at the heart of each and every exam and integral to a confident diagnosis. Hera elevates 2D imaging to a level not seen before thanks to shadow suppression, artifact reduction, and image clarity techniques that produce grayscale images with crisp interfaces, outstanding contrast resolution, and precise spatial detail. From routine to complex, you can rely on Hera to provide the exceptional image clarity needed to
provide confident answers.
ShadowHDR™
ShadowHDR™ improves image clarity by separating the ultrasound image into low and high-frequency components. Shadow HDR then performs dynamic shadow suppression to reveal additional details, otherwise obscured. This proprietary technique is advantageous when assessing the fetal brain as it suppresses cranial shadowing for a more complete display of intracranial anatomy.
HQ-Vision™
HQ-Vision™ is a sophisticated image processing technology designed to compensate for natural signal distortion as the sound propagates through tissue. HQ-Vision continuously analyzes, deconstructs, and then recalculates the received ultrasound image to display maximum sharpness and precise spatial clarity. This is especially helpful when performing detailed documentation of subtle interfaces, as well as fetal vertebrae.

Advanced ClearVision
Advanced ClearVision is an adaptive image optimization technology designed to remove distracting speckle artifacts while sharpening tissue interfaces and enhancing subtle changes in the displayed grayscale image.
Superb Volume Imaging
Studies have shown the importance of early bonding between mom and baby and 3D ultrasound can help begin this process before birth. However, volume imaging brings so much more to the ultrasound exam beyond facilitating these special moments. Seeing the anatomy in 3D and or 4D provides a more comprehensive understanding of anatomical spatial relationships and rendering techniques like RealisticVue™ and CrystalVue™ continue to evolve to show the tiny details even in the first trimester. These new perspectives provide clinicians with more information, earlier than ever before, helping identify anomalies and better prepare for surgery and other early interventions.
High Definition Volume Imaging (HDVI) provides detailed edge definition and exceptional clarity of three-dimensional anatomy. HDVI is especially useful when visualizing three-dimensional skeletal dysplasia and spinal defects.
CrystalVue™ is an advanced volume rendering technology that enhances the visualization of both internal and external structures in a single rendered image. The resulting image reveals more definitive documentation of skeletal dysplasia, early neural tube defects, as well as first-trimester brain development.
RealisticVue™ displays high-resolution 3D anatomy with exceptional detail and realistic depth perception. User-selectable light source direction creates intricately graduated shadows for better-defined anatomical structures. From a detailed understanding of complex pathology to patient consultation and education, RealisticVue is a versatile and important tool for effective diagnostics and communication.
Elevating Hemodynamic Assessment
Assessing blood flow through the fetal heart and brain is an important part of every ultrasound exam performed. Fetal movement or the small size of the structure provide unique challenges to completing your assessment and without this information, a confident diagnosis cannot be reached.
Samsung is introducing two new technologies to help you visualize blood flow; MV-Flow™ and LumiFlow™, technologies that can be used independently or in combination with each other to help assess both fetal and maternal circulation.
MV-Flow™ is an advanced power Doppler technology providing detailed visualization of microvascular perfusion into tissues and organs. Sophisticated spatial filtering differentiates slow-moving blood flow from adjacent tissues for a more confident display of color Doppler hemodynamics. Fetal lung perfusion, ductus venosus, MCA, as well as adnexal low flow hemodynamics, may be easier to visualize with MV Flow.
LumiFlow™ provides dimensional visualization of blood flow which aids in quickly understanding vessel boundaries and may provide additional spatial comprehension when documenting vasa previa, placental cord insertion or outflow tracks.
Advanced Tools for Confidence and Consistency
Advanced tools can help you see the fetal anatomy in new ways and provide additional information to help you make confident decisions quickly and provide women and the people they care for, calming reassurance. Samsung’s innovative technologies not only help provide answers, but they can also add consistency and efficiency to the ultrasound exam.
Advanced 5D Heart
5D Heart increases the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for the assessment of congenital heart disease. 5D Heart quickly generates the nine recommended fetal echocardiography views for a more thorough sonographic examination of the fetal heart. This enhanced technology includes Auto Fetal Positioning and Predictive Cursor which may help to display the nine views even easier by letting the software do some of the work for you.
5D ultrasound helps streamline workflow and enhance reproducibility with a suite of semi-automated tools.
5D NT
5D NT automatically locates the mid-sagittal plane from an acquired 3D dataset and measures the maximum NT distance, reducing inter-user variability.
5D CNS+™
5D CNS+™ simplifies the fetal brain assessment by automatically providing nine planes simultaneously with biometric measurements. This innovative tool aids in the visualization of intracranial anomalies.
5D Limb Vol.™
5D Limb Vol.™ is a semi-automated tool to estimate fetal weight by quickly and accurately measuring upper arm or thigh volumes from 3
simple seed points on a single volume data set.
Biometry Assist™
Biometry Assist™ streamlines routine biometry measurements including BPD, HC, AC, and FL. Biometry Assist enables users to measure fetal growth more quickly and with greater accuracy while maintaining exam consistency.
Adaptable Ergonomic – Designed for Comfort
Our new state-of-the-art ergonomic design allows the ultrasound system to adapt to the user’s scanning position rather than forcing the user to adjust to the system. With the wide range of motion on both the control panel and the monitor, Hera can be adjusted, nearly infinitely, to allow for a more comfortable scanning experience as well as help decrease repetitive reaching and shoulder strain.
An internal study shows that the improved ergonomics of the Hera W10 reduce shoulder stress by about one-third compared to our previous premium model. It does this by simplifying the user interface and increasing the range of motion of the control panel and monitor, resulting in less repetitive strain from hours of scanning.
Customizable for the Way You Work
Everyone works a little bit differently, wouldn’t it be nice if your ultrasound was customizable to your preferences? With Hera, it is. Tailoring the functionality of buttons on the control panel and customizing the layout of your touch panel menus are just a few conveniences we’ve added to help you keep your focus on what matters most.
Contextual Button
Frequently used functions can be assigned to buttons around trackball to reduce repetitive menu selection.
Touch Customization
A customizable touchscreen interface allows users to move frequently used functions to the first page, keeping the focus on the patient instead of the system.
Quick Preset
With one touch, the user can select the most common transducer and preset combinations. Quick Preset increases efficiency to make a full day of scanning simple and easy.
Fast Boot Up with MobileSleep
Mobile Sleep allows you to move the system from one place to another without shutting down. Simply press the power button to put the system to sleep, unplug, and go. The system powers back up in about 20 seconds.
