Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

Image Quality

Outstanding resolution and penetration

Philips ultrasound delivers outstanding resolution and deep penetration to successfully image varied anatomies. PureWave transducers optimized for pediatric imaging include the mC12-3, which provides an additional 30% improvement in penetration when compared to the previous generation of pediatric transducers ^[1], the mL26-8 for superb superficial imaging, and the eL18-4 that supports a wide range of anatomies. nSight Plus Imaging Architecture offers precision beamforming and massive parallel processing for highly detailed images and extraordinary temporal resolution, as well as superb tissue uniformity ^[2].

Advanced Insights

Personalized ultrasound for every patient

Elevate your pediatric ultrasound capabilities with advanced insights. Our MicroFlow Imaging (MFI) maintains high frame rates and 2D image quality while applying advanced artifact reduction techniques so you can gain new insights into small vessels. Advances in liver imaging include ElastQ imaging, which provides real-time, large field-of-view assessment of tissue stiffness for the diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis, and Liver Fat Quantification (LFQ), a rapid, noninvasive quantitative measure that can be used for both screening and surveillance. Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound Super Resolution improves resolution by more than 200% ^[3].

Workflow

Efficient and intuitive experience

Our ultrasound systems are designed for efficient workflow and ease of use, regardless of operator experience. Next Gen AutoSCAN improves image uniformity, adaptively adjusting image brightness at every pixel and improving transducer plunkability by reducing button pushes by 54%^[4]. Auto Doppler automatically adjusts for optimal flow sensitivity and resolution, reducing a ten-step procedure to only three steps^[5]!

Featured products for Pediatric Ultrasound

EPIQ Elite

Philips EPIQ Elite ultrasound features an exceptional level of clinical performance, workflow, and advanced intelligence to meet the challenges of today’s most demanding practices. The EPIQ Elite Platform brings ultimate solutions to ultrasound, with clinically tailored tools designed to elevate diagnostic confidence to new levels. EPIQ shares the same workflow, interface and transducers as the Affiniti and Compact systems.

^Affiniti

Affiniti’s broad range of transducers offer PureWave crystal technology and excellent superficial resolution and penetration and combine with the system’s precision beamforming to deliver high image quality for pediatric imaging. Designed for walk-up usability, Affiniti is so intuitive that it requires minimal training on system use to be able to complete an exam^[7], and uses the same workflow, interface and transducers as the EPIQ and Compact systems. Light and with a small footprint and fold-down monitor, it easily navigates narrow hallways and tight spaces.

Compact 5000 Series

Designed for mobility and performance, the Compact 5000 series shares the same workflow, interface and transducers as the EPIQ and Affiniti systems. With a quick boot-up and long battery life, the system is ready to go whenever you need it, so you can bring pediatric ultrasound to wherever you need it.

Lumify

Use ultra-mobile Lumify handheld ultrasound to detect soft tissue injuries in any care setting, with high-definition imaging. SonoCT reinforces real tissue imaging while eliminating random artifacts. The entire unit fits into a small bag for easy transportation, so you can take ultrasound on the go.

“In many cases, we can use diagnostic ultrasound to make the diagnosis that helps support critical clinical decisions without having to move on to other invasive imaging modalities.“
