Philips C8-5 Compact Probe – Unmatched Imaging Precision
The Philips C8-5 Compact ultrasound probe is designed to provide optimal performance across a wide range of clinical applications. With a frequency range of 8 to 5 MHz, it enables detailed visualization of both superficial and deep structures, offering an excellent balance between resolution and penetration.
With a wide 122° field of view, this curved probe is particularly suited for vascular, abdominal, and pediatric examinations. Its ergonomic design facilitates handling, ensuring greater user comfort while reducing fatigue during long examination sessions.
The C8-5 Compact integrates several innovative technologies developed by Philips:
- Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI) for enhanced resolution and artifact reduction.
- Color Doppler and Color Power Angio (CPA) for optimized blood flow visualization, even in small vessels.
- SonoCT technology, which improves contrast and image sharpness by reducing angular artifacts.
- xRes (adaptive speckle noise reduction) for clearer, more detailed imaging.
The C8-5 Compact is designed for use with Philips Compact 5000 series ultrasound systems, ensuring seamless integration with advanced system features. It benefits from automatic parameter optimization through Tissue Specific Presets (TSP), reducing the need for manual adjustments and speeding up the examination process.
In addition to exceptional imaging performance, the Philips C8-5 Compact is built for enhanced durability. Manufactured from robust materials, it ensures optimal reliability even with intensive use. Its compatibility with biopsy guides also makes it suitable for interventional procedures, expanding its clinical applications.
The medical applications are vascular imaging (Color Doppler, CPA, blood flow evaluation), pediatric and neonatal ultrasound (abdominal and cerebral), abdominal ultrasound (for both adults and children) and guided interventional procedures (biopsy under ultrasound guidance).
