Philips announced the launch of the Epiq Elite ultrasound system, a new premium ultrasound that combines the latest advances in transducer innovation and enhanced performance to improve clinical confidence and the patient experience. Epiq Elite offers a range of diagnostic ultrasound solutions tailored to the needs of specific medical specialties, including Philips’ first solution for vascular assessment and diagnosis. In addition, Epiq Elite for Obstetrics & Gynecology delivers high image quality and lifelike 3-D scans to provide advanced fetal assessment during all stages of pregnancy.

The Philips Ultimate Ultrasound Solution for Vascular Assessment combines 3-D and 4-D imaging, a simplified workflow and complimentary clinical tools to effectively assess and monitor vascular disease. The xMatrix transducer can produce high-quality 3-D vascular images, allowing clinicians to easily see directly into a vessel to evaluate plaque spatial location and composition, as well as view 3-D flow data to quickly assess stenotic conditions. In addition, the solution includes live ‘xPlane’ imaging – proprietary to Philips – allowing clinicians to acquire two planes simultaneously to improve accuracy of data collection, and reduce exam time by 20 percent. Icon-driven visual workflow makes 3-D imaging easier, reducing the steps that the clinician needs to take from 10 to one. Bringing 3-D and 4-D visualization to vascular ultrasound for the first time, this solution provides an ideal communication tool to facilitate clinical decisions and enhance patient consultation.

“Not much has changed in vascular ultrasound until this release of the ultimate ultrasound solution for vascular assessment,” said Muhammad Hasan, MBBCh, RPVI, RVT, RDCS, RDMS, manager, Departments of Echocardiography and Noninvasive Vascular Testing, Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, Baptist Hospital of Miami. “The combination of a new transducer and advances in software makes the assessment and diagnosis of vascular conditions through easy to interpret images. There is now a case to be made for ultrasound solutions to be used as a potential alternative to other imaging modalities in the current standard of care.” Read more
