SAMPLE PHYSICIAN REFERRAL LETTER
(For facilities with the ACUSON Sequoia™ C512 echocardiography system)
Dear_____________:
ANYTOWN FACILITY is pleased to announce its recent acquisition of the ultra-premium
ACUSON Sequoia™ C512 echocardiography system for our Cardiology Department.
The Sequoia C512 system will provide us with maximized diagnostic information and increased
exam efficiency through significantly advanced acoustic imaging. Using proprietary transmit and
receive ultrasound technology, Siemens has elevated the performance of the Sequoia
ultrasound platform by combining new system architecture and transducer technologies. As a
result, we have a better instrument to evaluate all of our patients with.
Our Sequoia system supports all routine applications for adult, pediatric and neonatal cardiology
as well as cardiovascular imaging. Additionally, we are able to perform a breadth of imaging
capabilities including transthoracic, transesophageal, stress echo, intracardiac, intraoperative
and 3D cardiography, as well as routine and investigational contrast agent imaging, vascular
and abdominal imaging [list only as appropriate to practice].
And, with the new syngo® Arterial Health Package, we can evaluate cardiac risk factors and
quantify cardiovascular age with automated intima-media thickness measurements. Additionally,
the new mitral valve assessment applications allows for a rapid 3D/4D evaluation of mitral valve
morphology and pathology.
Finally, with the DIMAQ™ integrated ultrasound workstation completely embedded into the
platform’s architecture, we can digitally capture a complete patient study, including
demographics, static images, dynamic clips, measurements and calculations, and then store in
the native DICOM file format for instant access and review on the system.
We invite you to contact us at 000.000.0000 [contact phone] with any questions you might have
regarding our new imaging capabilities with the Sequoia C512 system. In addition, we welcome
an opportunity to personally demonstrate the system’s diagnostic imaging capabilities for you.
Sincerely,
PHYSICIAN’S NAME
