Ultrasound



Our advanced ultrasound systems deliver outstanding image quality, and they’re extremely efficient and easy to use.  Today, our leading edge ultrasound systems represent an increasingly valuable asset for you and your oncology patients:

 

  • Helping you find disease earlier
  • Providing image guidance for aspiration biopsies and minimally invasive procedures
  • Giving you greater diagnostic confidence


We’ve incorporated the most innovative imaging and optimization technologies into our ultrasound platforms. Our iU22 and HD11 XE systems are ideal for assisting in diagnosing suspicious lesions in the breast, liver, renal, gynecological, and prostate.


Enhanced image quality

Detailed information is critical when evaluating and properly diagnosing subtle characteristics in suspicious anatomy.  That's why you'll need the best image quality technology can provide.

 

Our next generation SonoCT technology provides remarkable spatial and contrast resolution with greater artifact suppression than ever before. And Philips XRES technology, works in tandem to display images with amazing clarity and accuracy, virtually artifact-free – allowing you to make your diagnoses with confidence.

 

Ultrasound is an ideal tool as a follow up to a positive mammogram. With a Philips system, even on the smallest targets you’ll see:

  • More sharply defined structures
  • Clearer edge definition
  • Increased tissue texture differentiation

 

Three dimensional ultrasound provides anatomical views not available in 2D mode, helping you evaluate suspected lesions and surrounding anatomy with greater confidence.

 

Our PureWave technology (available on the iU22) represents an entirely new transducer crystal technology. The dramatic improvements in transducer efficiency, sensitivity and bandwidth provide for even greater image quality.

Improving productivity and efficiency

Thanks to our Intelligent Design approach – featuring greater automation and breakthrough ergonomics – our ultrasound systems are easy on your staff and your patients.

 

We’ve introduced new innovations such as one-button optimization to quickly and easily get the best images on all your patients. And wireless voice command on the iU22 to simplify imaging in difficult scanning environments.

 

Now, even in challenging clinical environments:

  • Your staff can focus more on their patients 
  • Every exam is optimized at the touch of a button
  • Procedures can be completed more quickly


Revolutionary ergonomics

Our new ultrasound systems feature an articulating flat panel display and control panel.  On the iU22, these can be adjusted independently to match each user’s unique preferences as well as clinical requirements.  This minimizes strain and potential injuries for your staff.  Add to that our slim, lightweight, chassis design and you have an imaging platform that excels in scanning flexibility and user comfort.


Ultrasound – right on time

We’ve pioneered and perfected advanced ultrasound technology that delivers outstanding image quality.  Today our ultrasound systems are ideal for a number of oncology applications, such as imaging and accurately evaluating even the smallest breast and liver lesions.  Because ultrasound is real time, our systems also represent an excellent method for image guidance for minimally invasive procedures such as needle placement for biopsies and some brachytherapy.

 

These easy to use ultrasound systems give you the information you need in real time without exposing your patient to any ionizing radiation.

 

In the future, exciting advances in ultrasound microbubble technology may assist clinicians in detecting cancer even earlier.  Our ultrasound systems may also contribute to targeted drug and gene therapy delivery.

 

Let our ultrasound technology enhance your oncology practice.
