Samsung unveils new ultrasound system

DANVERS, Mass. – Samsung Medison, a global medical equipment company and affiliate of Samsung Electronics, is set to unveil the Samsung R20 Ultrasound System during the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The R20 represents a new era of ultrasound innovation, leveraging advanced hardware and new image formation technologies that power its elevated diagnostic precision and AI-driven technologies, while introducing ergonomic innovations independently validated to enhance user comfort and scanning efficiency.

Rising obesity and chronic disease are making ultrasound exams more complex, leading to higher rates of inconclusive results and creating demand for advanced imaging technologies that provide deeper penetration, intelligent clinician support, and diagnostic consistency. At the same time, widespread sonographer pain and workforce shortages highlight the importance of ergonomic design. The R20 was designed to meet these challenges head-on, combining imaging precision, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and ergonomics in a single system.

Built for exceptional imaging performance, the R20 is powered by Samsung’s Advanced Imaging Engine: integrating cutting-edge hardware with sophisticated software beamforming to achieve remarkable image clarity and diagnostic accuracy. R20 offers more than a dozen AI-powered tools for real-time exam guidance, diagnostic assistance, workflow automation, and automated measurements to help clinicians improve accuracy, save time, and scan with greater confidence in complex cases.

Complementing its clinical performance, the R20 achieved independent validation as a leader in ergonomic innovation, meeting 100% of recognized ergonomic guidelines and recommendations to promote clinician comfort and healthy scanning, the company said.

“The R20 embodies our mission to elevate diagnostic imaging through purposeful innovation,” said Tracy Bury, chief commercial officer of Samsung Healthcare in the USA and vice president of global growth initiatives. “Driven by close collaboration with clinicians, the R20’s technologies are designed as practical tools that make a real difference in how clinicians work, and patients are cared for. With the R20, we’re moving from a fast follower to a true technology leader, driving innovation at a pace that’s reshaping ultrasound.”
