This service represents Clinical Engineering s effort to maintain state of the art technology in rotation to provide care to our Veterans.

2.BACKGROUND: Philips Epiq 7C Ultrasound System

The Epic 7C Ultrasound System is a state-of-the-art radiological device that aides skilled personnel in its use to obtain exceptional image quality through automated views and quantification. This device also offers ease of use due to its portability minimizing the need to transport ill patients repeatedly as it can be brought to the patient s bedside.

Key FeaturesÂ

Increased frame rate: More than doubles the frame rate without compromising the quality of the image.

Up to a 70% increase in penetration, with an increase of up to 213% in temporal resolution. The unit also boast a completion rate of over 85% for technically challenging exams.

Performs digital beam reconstruction along with mathematically optimized focal processing to create real-time images with exceptional resolution and uniformity.

nSIGHT Imaging architecture incorporates new color Doppler technology that increases flow resolution, sensitivity, and frame rate. New proprietary flow algorithms produce exceptional vessel border delineation while preserving 2D imaging characteristics in color Doppler modes. New color map options allow enhanced visualization of flow for color-blind users

Achieve ultra-thin 2D slices. Use Live xPlane imaging to create two full-resolution planes simultaneously, allowing you to capture twice as much clinical information in the same amount of time. Acquire near isovoxel resolution to reveal images from any plane within the volume. Now it s all possible. Send 3D MPRs in the X, Y, and Z plane to any PACS system with MPR DICOM Export. Present superb, real-time 4D volume data in abdominal and obstetrical exams
