Live 3D Echo is allowing clinicians to see things they

have never seen before, revealing important diagnostic

information that is changing patient management.

Live 3D Echo imaging brings you immediate, true real-time 3D volume rendered images, integrated into a fully functional clinical system. Enabling you to instantaneously see 3D views of anatomy, Live 3D Echo allows a better appraisal of the intricate correlation between valves, walls and vessels. Just how quickly can you view a 3D image on the system monitor as you scan? At the touch of one button.

Defining the f with L

Exclusive xSTREAM signal processing allows real-time generation of volume data. Here, a volume data set has been cropped to enable evaluation of valvular structures up close (en face).

The iNavigator user interface with built-in intelligence makes performing Live 3D Echo exams quick and easy. The flexible interface allows instantaneous cropping and rotation of a real-time volume.

Philips XRES image processing technology reduces artifacts, enhances tissue patterns and brings cardiac structures into greater definition.

3D Color Flow capability allows three-dimensional investigation of hemodynamic flow patterns.

Omni TEE 3D acquisition

Our 3D Acquisition Package, available since 1996, performs triggered acquisition of high-quality, original 2D and color flow digital image data for 3D reconstruction on an off-line workstation using third-party vendor software.*

e future h Live 3D Echo

Live 3D in the echo lab, cath lab, surgical suite

The power of Live 3D Echo is moving from the echo lab to the cath lab and surgical suite. Current users of Live 3D Echo are finding that offering this unique perspective on the heart is driving referrals from colleagues, providing an additional economic benefit.

• Whether in the adult or pediatric echo lab, Live 3D Echo provides new views and more complete diagnostic data not obtainable from conventional 2D echo.

• In the cath lab, Live 3D Echo assists visualization during procedures such as percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasties and right ventricular biopsies, catheter placement, and new annuloplasty procedures.

• Cardiac surgeons are discovering that Live 3D Echo provides valuable information about the anatomy of valves that they will encounter during surgery, helping them with pre- and post-surgical planning.

• New uses for Live 3D Echo are being found in the electrophysiology lab, where it is being used to guide procedures such as atrial fibrillation ablation, ablation wire guidance and pacemaker placement, as well as to provide monitoring during and after procedures.

*Validation of the reconstruction is the responsibility of the 3D software vendor.

Configured with nearly 3,000 elements, the x4 transducer harnesses the power of over 150 computer boards. Here, the elements are magnified and shown with a human hair for scale reference.

Revolutionary micro-electronic technology in the Philips x4 xMATRIX transducer translates into an ergonomic design – it is similar in size and weight to a standard transducer.

Live xPlane imaging

Sometimes another point of reference gives you the additional information you need to make a more confident diagnosis. Live xPlane imaging displays two high-resolution views of the heart simultaneously, giving you more information on which to base your diagnostic decisions.

Live xPlane I – a new st

Using our comprehensive analysis package, users can obtain accurate measurements and calculations from both Live xPlane images . . . during the same heart cycle.

e Imagingw standard in 2D echo

The xMATRIX transducer combines high-resolution imaging with multidimensional beam steering, enabling the real-time generation of two 2D planes.

Beam steering provides more access to anatomy and potential productivity improvements.

Live xPlane imaging:

• Provides more information about areas of specific interest

• Helps save time and reduce user variability

• Allows improved documentation of anatomical structures

• Facilitates faster acquisition at higher heart rates during stress echo exams

• Enables the acquisition of accurate calculations from two planes during the same heart cycle

• Promises to improve productivity by acquiring multiple views simultaneously and reducing user variability

• May decrease repetitive strain injuries by reducing the transducer articulation that is typical with conventional array technology

Xcelera: Accelerating your cardiology workflow

Xcelera, Philips’ cardiology image and information management solution, is tailored to the way you work. It integrates the data-rich information generated by echo and cath lab exams at a single workspot—including the new Live xPlane imaging available on the SONOS 7500 system—helping you determine patient care, streamline workflow and maintain accurate records and reports.

Vequion: Philips’ next generation of clinical IT

Xcelera is part of Philips’ Vequion family of clinical IT products. Vequion offers users a customized data management experience that aids confident and faster diagnoses. Xcelera features the user interface that is consistent throughout all Vequion products and shares the Vequion characteristics of being customizable, fluid, open and standards-based, and future-safe.

Based on two proven, innovative systems with a combined installed base of over 1,000 sites, Xcelera integrates echo and cath lab exam information into a single workspot.

Faster on-board image storage and retrieval

Our standards-based communication protocols store images to and retrieve them from the SONOS 7500 system quickly and easily.

With some of the most extensive

R&D facilities in the world,

Philips understands the value

of research and how it can

translate into diagnostic solutions

for some of today’s most pressing

cardiac health concerns. So

we’ve developed advanced

tools to assist the world’s echo

researchers in their pursuit of

better answers.

Acoustic Quantification (AQ)

AQ technology advanced the perception of echo by providing validated, objective data such as LV volumes for real-time, beat-to-beat EF and other parameters. AQ analyzes raw acoustic signals before they are processed into video data and classifies them as either blood or tissue, using Philips’ automated border detection technology. By comparing changes in the blood area throughout the cardiac cycle, AQ obtains an objective, quantifiable measurement of cardiac function. Well-defined cardiac anatomy provided by Philips Harmonic Fusion Imaging enhances the automated tracking of endocardial blood interfaces, making AQ studies easier to perform.

Advanced quant

Color Kinesis

Philips Color Kinesis is a unique, visually objective means of viewing wall motion abnormalities. An extension of Philips’ automated border detection technology, Color Kinesis keeps track of the blood and tissue borders and their transitions, then color-codes the moving endocardial border to show—on every frame and in real time—sequential stages of segmental wall motion throughout the cardiac cycle.

Quantitative Stress Echo

Providing a quantitative approach to stress echocardiography enables objective detection, analysis and documentation of cardiac wall motion. That’s why we developed Quantitative Stress Echo. A convergence of several technological advancements, Quantitative Stress Echo helps improve the interpretation of stress echocardiograms and reduces inter-observer variability among clinicians.

QLAB advanced quantification software

Philips QLAB is a stand-alone software product that provides advanced off-line ultrasound quantification capabilities. QLAB software is designed for clinicians who require sophisticated analysis of image data acquired on Philips ultrasound systems. Tools include Strain Quantification, Parametric Quantification, Region of Interest quantification and 2D echo information, as well as automated Intima Media Thickness measurements. Additionally, QLAB software adds impact to presentations by exporting images and data in AVI and BMP format.

n tificationA palette of contrast imaging techniques

Philips’ leadership and collaboration with researchers, clinicians and contrast agent manufacturers began more than a decade ago. During that time, Philip’s pioneered harmonic imaging, a technology critical to the successful use of contrast agents in ultrasound.

Successful ultrasonic diagnosis with contrast agents requires an echo system sensitive to the smallest differences in contrast agent along with solutions that are not limited to just one application. The SONOS 7500 system is uniquely suited to contrast imaging. The system is contrast ready as agents become available for new intended uses.
