New Version of Vivid E9 Cardiovascular Ultrasound Features XDclear Technology to Enhance Image Quality, Quantification and 4D Workflow
Wauwatosa, WI and Amsterdam, Netherlands, August 31, 2103 - GE Healthcare, (NYSE: GE), announced today at the 2013 European Society of Cardiology annual meeting in Amsterdam that it has received CE mark for the latest version of its Vivid* E9 Cardiovascular Ultrasound system now featuring XDclear* technology. Built from the acclaimed Vivid E9 platform, the new Vivid E9 with XDclear is designed to enhance image quality in 2D, 4D, color and Doppler, aims to shorten exam time and enhance diagnostic confidence in the adult and pediatric echo labs, during interventions or in the operating room, as well as for shared services.
"With obesity on the rise worldwide, cardiologists are seeing more and more patients who are difficult to scan using traditional ultrasound transducer technology," said Al Lojewski, General Manager of Cardiovascular Ultrasound for GE Healthcare. "With the needs of the clinician and patient in mind, we continue to enhance overall image quality by developing new probe technology that allows for enhanced sensitivity and image acquisition with high resolution on even difficult to scan patients with the Vivid E9 with XDclear."
In a high-stress setting like the echo lab, interventional suite or the OR, conducting an ultrasound examination on a patient who is difficult to scan can result in not only an increased scan time, but additional anxiety for the patient and physician. GE Healthcare's recent development in acoustic engineering combining Single Crystal, Cool Stack and Acoustic Amplifier technologies make the XDclear transducers GE's highest performing transducers.
With the new Vivid E9 with XDclear, GE Healthcare offers a comprehensive probe portfolio of adult, pediatric, vascular and abdominal imaging probes which are well suited for many department's cardiovascular and shared services needs.
