Esaote North America

What Esaote North America does

Esaote S.p.A. is a privately-held Italian medical imaging company headquartered in Genoa, with primary manufacturing in Florence (probes) and an operating site in the Netherlands, distributing its systems internationally through Esaote North America (Fishers, United States), which serves as the U.S. commercial arm. The company operates three technology platforms: the MyLab family of ultrasound systems (covering cart-based, portable, and point-of-care systems across 19+ models such as X90, X9, E85 GTS, C30 GTS, Omega, and Sigma); a dedicated MRI portfolio built around permanent-magnet, helium-free open systems (Magnifico Open, G-scan, O-scan, S-scan, and the I-Genius intraoperative system in late-stage U.S. FDA review); and the SUITESTENSA enterprise imaging software suite (PACS, VNA, RIS, RT, cardiovascular information systems, and AI orchestration via fAInd).

Esaote differentiates on AI-enabled features — Prostate Attention Map (PAM) for urology, HyperSpeed for MRI acceleration, M-Score for opportunistic bone-health screening, AI e-SPADES, Virtual Navigator multimodality fusion, and an Ablation Confirmation Suite — embedded in MyLab E85/C30 GTS Edition systems and SUITESTENSA reporting workflows. The company also emphasizes total-cost-of-ownership advantages: permanent-magnet MRI uses no liquid helium and consumes approximately 90% less energy than superconducting systems, lowering lifetime operating cost for hospital buyers.

Revenue is generated from hardware sales of ultrasound and MRI systems, recurring software subscriptions and licensing across SUITESTENSA, and professional services (technical support, maintenance, and training). Distribution is predominantly direct enterprise field sales to hospitals and specialty clinics, supplemented by a dedicated Esaote Eshop and strategic channel partnerships such as the November 2025 Schiller Americas alliance to expand U.S. cardiovascular ultrasound reach. The company also maintains a separate veterinary imaging business and runs ESG initiatives, including UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality Certification and Environmental Product Declarations for ultrasound devices.
