Big Client Milestone | Empowering Precision Urology: BMV MX9 Pro Ultrasound System Installed at University Hospital Bochum, Germany
BMV Medtech, a world-leading innovator of medical imaging equipment, recently announced that its premium portable ultrasound imaging system — the MX9 Pro, equipped with an innovative dual-purpose probe integrating convex array and dedicated urology phased/linear array technologies — has been officially adopted by the University Urology Department of University Hospital Bochum (Universitätsurologie der Uniklinik Bochum, affiliated to Elisabethgruppe: https://www.elisabethgruppe.de/).
As a top-tier academic medical institution renowned across Germany and Europe, the Urology Department at University Hospital Bochum stands at the international forefront of precise diagnosis and minimally invasive surgery for urological malignancies, especially prostate cancer. The department maintains an extremely heavy clinical workload, performing over 1,200 fusion prostate biopsies and 800 radical prostatectomies annually. Given such high-volume clinical demands that require extreme diagnostic accuracy, the medical team set rigorous standards for imaging equipment in terms of image resolution, multi-scenario switching efficiency and handheld portability.
After rigorous clinical evaluation, the hospital finally selected the BMV MX9 Pro ultrasound system.
Dual-Probe Integrated Design Eliminates Workflow Bottlenecks
A core highlight of the delivered MX9 Pro is its urology-specific customized dual-combination probe solution:
- Premium Convex Array Probe: Delivers outstanding deep tissue penetration and spatial resolution to support rapid routine screening of the abdomen, kidneys, bladders and other general urinary tract structures.
- Specialized Urology Probe: Optimized exclusively for transrectal prostate examinations and interventional guidance, delivering exceptional high-frequency clarity in near-field imaging.
Under traditional clinical workflows, clinicians frequently switch between separate devices or spend substantial time replacing and recalibrating probes. Powered by intelligent workflow logic and an instant-response dual-probe architecture, the MX9 Pro enables clinicians to seamlessly transition between abdominal scanning and specialized biopsy guidance with zero downtime. This not only drastically cuts down individual examination durations but also optimizes patient experience amid high-volume clinical schedules.
SonoAI Intelligent Workflow Boosts Minimally Invasive Surgical Precision
Beyond cutting-edge hardware innovation, the MX9 Pro integrates BMV’s proprietary intelligent imaging algorithms that effectively suppress speckle noise and drastically enhance edge contrast for tiny prostate lesions, prostatic capsule boundaries and surrounding neurovascular bundles (NVBs). This delivers stable, reliable real-time image navigation for the hospital’s high-volume fusion biopsy procedures, enabling clinicians to achieve pinpoint accuracy during minimally invasive interventional operations.
BMV’s International Business Director commented: “University Hospital Bochum is a benchmark institution in European urology. Passing the hospital’s stringent selection process and entering frontline clinical use stands as powerful recognition of BMV’s medical imaging technology capabilities. Confident in the MX9 Pro’s superior performance, we are ready to support the medical team in boosting diagnostic and surgical efficiency amid thousands of annual complex procedures, ultimately benefiting more patients across Europe.”
Moving forward, adhering to the core philosophy of “Innovation Empowers Clinical Care”, BMV will deepen collaborations with world-class medical centers worldwide and continuously advance the popularization and application of portable smart ultrasound in specialized precision medicine.
