Philips S7-3T Probe: High-Precision Probe for TEE Applications in Pediatrics and Adult Medicine
The Philips S7-3T probe is designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals performing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) exams in both pediatrics and adult medicine. TEE is an imaging technique that provides an in-depth and detailed view of the heart through the esophagus, and this probe is specifically designed to deliver exceptional results in this field. With its broadband technology and a high number of elements, the S7-3T offers high-quality imaging, essential for complex cardiac diagnoses.
Equipped with 48 elements, the S7-3T probe ensures precise and detailed coverage, even in the most difficult-to-access cardiac areas. Each element in the probe is designed to optimize beam formation and guarantee high image resolution. The frequency range of 7 to 3 MHz allows for coverage of a wide range of structures, from superficial to deep, providing superior imaging quality tailored to the diverse needs of pediatric and adult patients.
The S7-3T probe features a sector array type that optimizes the angle of incidence of the ultrasound waves, which is particularly important for TEE exams where precise field visualization is crucial for evaluating internal heart structures. Its 90° field of view allows for comprehensive coverage of the areas of interest, ensuring extended visibility of the heart and its surrounding structures.
In terms of imaging modes, the Philips S7-3T offers 2D mode, which allows real-time visualization of cardiac structures in precise detail. The pulsed wave (PW) and continuous wave (CW) Doppler modes are also integrated, enabling accurate measurement of blood flow through the heart valves and vessels. The color Doppler mode is available for real-time blood flow visualization and rapid evaluation of circulatory abnormalities. Harmonic imaging and XRES technology offer high-resolution images with optimal contrast for tissue differentiation, even in challenging conditions.
The S7-3T probe is ergonomically designed for long procedures while remaining comfortable and easy to handle. With a shaft length of 70 cm and a diameter of 7.4 mm, it is flexible enough to allow for easy and precise positioning. The probe tip measures 10.7 x 8 x 27 mm, ensuring simple insertion and comfortable handling while offering excellent visualization of cardiac structures.
