eL18-4 Compact : Precision and Versatility for Advanced Ultrasound Imaging
The Philips eL18-4 Compact probe revolutionizes ultrasound imaging with its ultra-broadband design and advanced technologies. Designed to meet clinicians' needs, it covers a wide range of applications, including breast, vascular, pediatric, obstetric, musculoskeletal, and small parts imaging. Its broad frequency range (2 to 22 MHz) allows for deep penetration while maintaining outstanding resolution, reducing the need for multiple probes during an exam.
The eL18-4 probe features PureWave technology, a major breakthrough in piezoelectric materials. Its pure crystals are 85% more efficient than traditional transducers, enabling optimal conversion of electrical energy into ultrasound waves. This results in better penetration, enhanced resolution, and improved sensitivity to blood flow.
With nSIGHT Imaging, the eL18-4 Compact probe provides ultra-precise images with reduced noise and improved focusing at all depths. This technology combines multiple transmit-receive cycles with differentiated beam profiles, offering:
- Improved lateral resolution at all depths.
- Enhanced penetration by amplifying signals in the far field.
- Reduced need for manual focusing, increasing exam efficiency.
The eL18-4 Compact probe provides a complete elastography solution:
- Shear Wave Elastography: Quantifies tissue stiffness, essential for evaluating breast lesions and liver conditions.
- Strain Elastography: Quickly assesses tissue elasticity for more accurate diagnostics.
MicroFlow Imaging from Philips offers advanced detection of small blood flows, surpassing conventional methods in sensitivity and artifact reduction. Ideal for vascular examinations, it provides detailed visualization of microcirculations.
The eL18-4 Compact is designed to maximize clinical efficiency:
- Elevation Focusing: Enhances depth resolution and contrast clarity.
- Optional Integrated Electromagnetic Tracking: Compatible with Philips Anatomical Intelligence for Breast (AI Breast) for automated breast exams.
- Compatible with CIVCO Verza Guidance System: Enables assisted biopsies with precise needle visualization.
With its advanced architecture and integrated technologies, the Philips eL18-4 Compact probe optimizes workflow in medical imaging centers. By reducing the need for probe changes and improving image quality from the first acquisition, it accelerates examinations and enhances patient care.
