Philips S8-3 Ultrasound Probe – Precision and Performance for Cardiac Imaging
The Philips S8-3 is a sector ultrasound probe specifically designed for adult and pediatric cardiac applications. Combining high resolution with advanced imaging capabilities, it enables precise analysis of cardiac structures and blood flow. Its ergonomic design and compact size provide a comfortable grip, making it easy to use in various clinical environments.
With a variable frequency from 8 to 3 MHz, the S8-3 ensures penetration adapted to patients of different sizes while maintaining optimal image resolution. Its 90° field of view offers a broad visualization of cardiac structures, enhancing the quality of diagnostic examinations. Its 15.4 mm aperture optimizes the capture of ultrasound signals, ensuring excellent diagnostic precision.
The S8-3 probe supports multiple advanced imaging modes, including 2D mode for real-time visualization, pulsed and continuous Doppler, color Doppler for blood flow analysis, and tissue Doppler for exploring myocardial movements. The presence of High PRF Doppler improves the detection of high-velocity flows, while harmonic imaging ensures better contrast and reduced artifacts.
The integrated XRES technology in the Philips S8-3 enhances real-time image processing by reducing noise and refining anatomical details. This significant improvement in image quality facilitates accurate diagnosis of cardiac pathologies, especially in pediatric patients, where resolution and penetration requirements are more critical.
Although the probe is not compatible with image fusion navigation or biopsies, it excels in its specialized field: cardiac imaging. Its optimized design and advanced capabilities make it an essential tool for cardiologists and diagnostic imaging specialists.
