Newly Enhanced Cardiac Ultrasound System from Royal Philips

iE33 xMATRIX offers expanded clinical applications in cardiac ultrasound imaging

Royal Philips Electronics today announced enhanced xMATRIX iE33 cardiac ultrasound system with a new ergonomic solutions for more effective adult echocardiograms, X5 swing. With improved technology, Philips continues the tradition of simple, patient-focused health solutions by providing a more complete imaging solutions. The system allows for extended diagnostic capabilities associated with the liver associated with ischemic disease detection, assessment of structural heart disease, and systolic and diastolic heart failure and arrhythmias. The aim is to support the workflow improvements as well as providing clinical benefits, which xMATRIX iE33 cardiac ultrasound system will be highlighted on display at the European Society of Cardiology Congress (ESC) in Stockholm August 26 through September 1.

"New Ultrasound System xMATRIX iE33 is a significant breakthrough in ultrasound technology that gives doctors a new diagnostic tool and to help them examine patients more quickly," said Andrew Hatt, vice president and interim general manager, Ultrasound, for Philips Medical "In addition, a doctor. Which experiencing fatigue scan will appreciate that the X5 swing combines the ergonomics 2D transducer for three-dimensional technology that they need to make an informed decision that best patient care possible. "

Continuing the tradition of adding advanced capabilities in the entire portfolio of Philips ultrasound of heart, a new feature in xMATRIX iE33 system includes 2D and 3D ultrasound unique image quality using a single transducer, near instantaneous 3D volume acquisition, the new 3D workflow tools, and visualized color Doppler flow pattern 3D test. X5-1 and iRotate, a doctor can be easily viewed 2D challenging, such as space-two apical. Instead of manually rotating the transducer and the search window that is hidden by the ribs, the rotation is achieved electronically maintain the best acoustic window. When used in a stress echo, iRotate do physicians to complete full stress echo protocol from the default window after peak exercise, without having to rotate the swing X5.

USG xMATRIX iE33 system also offers 3D stress echo solution that can be made with conventional 2D stress echo. After obtaining the volume, doctors can use sophisticated software system iSlice to obtain short-axis view of the apex of the heart. This is additional clinical information that is not routinely obtained by ultrasound.
