GE Healthcare’s Vivid 7 Dimension is a high-performance ultrasound platform for excellent scanning

Features

• Advanced Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI) provides quantification of LV synchronicity information. Time-to-peak data derived from TSI’s simple-to-use “red-light / green-light” visualizations let you quantify left ventricle synchronicity for heart failure patients or those undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
• Automated Function Imaging (AFT) is an easy-to-use tool for assessing and quantifying left ventricle wall motion. AFI (derived from 2D strain) delivers reproducible, systolic, quantitative segmental and global assessments of the left ventricle – quickly and accurately.
• Real-Time 4D Color Flow Full Volume – Assess hemodynamic information in color in real time in the same heart cycle – with the option of viewing a 6-slice cross section of the left ventricle.
• Contrast Imaging enhances visualization of the LV border for wall motion analysis and ejection fraction calculations in multidimensional imaging and 4D full volume imaging
• 6 Slice – can further enhance full volume color information. The 6-slice view takes the full volume color information and creates 6 equidistant slices and the ability to focus on a specific region of interest.
• Multiple-angle compound imaging enhances border definition, reduces acoustic artifact and improves contrast resolution.
• The 9L transducer features a new ergonomic profile, with a smaller, more ergonomic handle design and a smaller, lighter, more flexible cable, for easier, more comfortable scanning.
• Speckle Reduction Imaging – offers new improvements that enhance image quality in difficult-to-image patients.
• Blood Flow Imaging (BFI) gives you a better understanding and delineation of directional blood flow in vessels.
• IMT measuring technology dramatically reduces the time it takes to measure the carotid artery’s intima-media thickness, which studies show may be an early sign of athersclerosis.
• Multi-Dimensional and 4D Imaging – with multi-dimensional imaging, you can simultaneously acquire bi-plane and tri-plane images from the same heartbeat – without moving the probe’s position – to get more cardiovascular information in less steps.
• 9 Slice allows you to visualize regional wall motion in a whole new way by slicing the left ventricle of a 4D full-volume dataset into nine equidistant short-axis views.
• 4D Coded Phase Inversion (CPI) enhances your contrast imaging capabilities on your 3V transducer, allowing you to get excellent sensitivity, resolution and tissue suppression in 4D imaging.
• Flexible reporting package increases productivity by allowing you to choose the report configurations, and edit the findings text and conclusion sections according to your lab’s individual workflow needs.
• Fast-pull down menus help you automatically sort and insert information.
• Customizable normal report values let you define measurement values.
• MPEGVue allows you to export more compressed studies.
• EVUE simplifies PC setup for remote interactive image monitoring.
• DICOM connectivity, with embedded raw-data storage, permits post-exam quantitative analysis.
