Philips X5-1c Probe: Precision and Performance for Cardiac Imaging
Cardiac ultrasound relies on the ability to capture high-resolution images while ensuring rapid and accurate acquisition. The Philips X5-1c probe is an innovative solution that combines xMatrix technology with advanced nSIGHT Plus imaging processing to deliver unparalleled image quality.
By integrating nSIGHT Plus processing with xMatrix technology, the X5-1c optimizes image formation by dynamically adjusting algorithms based on the patient. This approach reduces artifacts and enhances visualization of complex structures, including the tricuspid and pulmonary valves, as well as the left ventricle’s apex.
Both 2D and 3D imaging enable a more in-depth analysis of cardiac anatomy. With the inclusion of Cardiac TrueVue photorealistic rendering, heart structures are visualized with unmatched precision, facilitating the evaluation of cardiac abnormalities and disease monitoring.
The Philips X5-1c probe is designed to optimize workflow through automation of Doppler and 2D measurements. This feature, powered by artificial intelligence, reduces examination time by more than 50%, ensuring result reproducibility regardless of the operator.
It also includes Dynamic HeartModel, an advanced tool that allows for quick and accurate evaluation of left ventricular and left atrial volume and ejection fraction in 3D. Meanwhile, 3D Auto RV simplifies right ventricle analysis with just one click.
AutoStrain for the left ventricle, left atrium, and right ventricle enables a fast and reliable assessment of myocardial deformation, essential for monitoring patients with heart failure or chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
Interventional procedures require precise imaging for device positioning and real-time guidance. The X5-1c meets this need by integrating real-time ultrasound with interventional radiology via EchoNavigator R2, which fuses ultrasound and radiological images for better anatomical understanding.
Additionally, TrueVue Glass technology provides a detailed visualization of cardiac structures, such as the left atrial appendage, for optimal planning and execution of interventions.
Pediatric echocardiography presents specific challenges due to patient size and the complexity of congenital anomalies. The X5-1c adapts to these needs with its high resolution and advanced 3D analysis capabilities, ensuring an accurate diagnosis from the first acquisition.
By combining speed, precision, and automation, the Philips X5-1c is an essential tool for cardiologists working in both diagnostic and interventional imaging.
