Philips 3D9-3v: A High-Performance Transducer for Endovaginal Imaging in Obstetrics and Gynecology
The Philips 3D9-3v endovaginal transducer is a high-tech volumetric probe designed to provide precise and detailed visualization of pelvic and fetal structures. Tailored for obstetric and gynecological applications, it enables in-depth examinations with exceptional image quality, facilitating diagnosis and patient care.
Equipped with broadband technology and a 128-element array, the Philips 3D9-3v covers a frequency range from 9 MHz to 3 MHz. This extended frequency range allows it to adapt to various types of examinations based on clinical needs. Its curved matrix architecture and wide 164° field of view, combined with an exploration volume of 156° x 85°, ensure optimal anatomical coverage.
One of the key advantages of this transducer is its ability to perform volumetric acquisitions in 3D and 4D, providing clinicians with a more immersive and precise visualization of the structures being examined. Additionally, it incorporates several advanced imaging modes, including harmonic imaging, SonoCT technology, and XRES processing, which reduce noise and enhance contrast for sharper, more detailed images.
Pulsed wave and directional color Doppler add a functional dimension to this transducer, allowing for in-depth analysis of blood circulation within pelvic and fetal structures. Color Power Angio and Directional CPA further enhance this capability by improving the detection of low-intensity blood flows.
The Philips 3D9-3v transducer features a 2D tilt function that allows for lateral movement of the image, facilitating access to off-axis anatomical structures without requiring manual probe angle adjustments. This feature optimizes user comfort and enhances examination quality by enabling smoother and more precise exploration.
Furthermore, this transducer is biopsy-compatible, making it particularly useful for in-depth investigations in gynecology and pelvic oncology.
The Philips 3D9-3v is an essential tool for healthcare professionals specializing in endovaginal imaging, offering exceptional image quality, ease of use, and comprehensive support for obstetric and gynecological examinations.
