Charter Medical Private Hospital is pleased to announce the introduction of the Esaote E80 ultrasound system with UroFusion technology to its Urology service. This cutting-edge platform will be used by Mr Asadullah Aslam, Consultant Urologist, to perform targeted prostate biopsies, further enhancing the accuracy, safety and quality of care offered to patients across Ireland.
The Esaote E80 is a premium ultrasound system designed to deliver exceptional image quality, advanced processing and user-friendly workflow. Combined with UroFusion technology, it allows rapid MRI–ultrasound fusion for targeted prostate biopsies, improving lesion localisation and supporting more precise sampling of suspicious areas.
“The exceptional image quality of the Esaote E80 will benefit the service offered to our patients greatly,” said Mr Aslam. “It allows us to visualise prostate pathology with far greater clarity and confidence. When combined with UroFusion for MRI–ultrasound fusion biopsy, this technology will help us offer a level of diagnostic excellence that our patients deserve, and will significantly raise the standard of our urology service at Charter Medical.”
With prostate cancer remaining one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in men, accurate and timely diagnosis is critical. The Esaote E80 with UroFusion supports this goal by enabling:
High-resolution imaging for improved visualisation of prostate anatomy and suspicious lesions
Fusion of MRI and real-time ultrasound to guide targeted biopsies
Optimised workflow and ergonomics, enhancing efficiency during procedures
A better overall patient experience, thanks to more focused and informed interventions
Mr Aslam at Charter Medical Private Hospital commented:“Investing in advanced imaging is part of our commitment to providing a modern, patient-centred Urology service. We are proud to work with a system that combines innovation with clinical practicality. The Esaote E80 with UroFusion will help ensure that our patients benefit from best-practice prostate cancer diagnostics in a comfortable, private hospital setting.”
The installation of the Esaote E80 also reflects Esaote’s ongoing partnership with leading clinical centres to bring state-of-the-art imaging solutions closer to patients.
“We are delighted that Charter Medical Private Hospital and Mr Aslam have chosen the Esaote E80 with UroFusion for their Urology service,” said a representative of Esaote. “Our aim is to empower clinicians with exceptional image quality and smart tools that support confident, evidence-based decisions. Seeing this technology integrated into such a high-quality service is a strong endorsement of that mission.”
By combining Mr Aslam’s expertise in Urology with the advanced capabilities of the Esaote E80, Charter Medical Private Hospital is positioning itself at the forefront of prostate biopsy services in the private sector, with a clear focus on precision, safety and patient outcomes.
