Philips iU22 Ultrasound Machine - Exceptional Imaging Quality for Precise Diagnostics.
The Philips iU22 ultrasound machine sets a new standard in imaging excellence with its exceptional image quality and resolution. Equipped with the X6-1 PureWave xMATRIX transducer featuring over 9,000 active elements, this system offers 35 times more elements than conventional transducers. The ultra-thin slice imaging capability of the X6-1 provides extraordinary tissue uniformity, enabling improved textural pattern recognition and superb discrimination of micro-structures at various depths. This results in outstanding ultrasound image resolution, essential for confident diagnoses.
With the iU22 xMATRIX, users can acquire two high-resolution images simultaneously without moving the transducer. This innovative feature enhances imaging precision, accelerates workflow, and saves time, while also reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, the xPlane technology integrated into the X6-1 transducer allows imaging in two planes without the need to move the transducer. This eliminates the requirement to rotate the transducer to visualize the second plane, enabling users to maintain a reference point while surveying anatomy.
Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of xPlane technology, revealing a significant reduction in the number of orthogonal turns required for abdominal exams from 20 to 30 down to fewer than five. Moreover, xPlane has been shown to reduce sonographer wrist strain by an average of 70 percent, enhancing user comfort and ergonomics during scanning procedures. With its advanced imaging capabilities and user-friendly design, the Philips iU22 ultrasound machine empowers healthcare professionals to achieve superior diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in clinical practice.
The new X6-1 PureWave xMATRIX transducer revolutionizes ultrasound imaging by providing high resolution for both 2D and 3D imaging. This eliminates the need to change transducers when acquiring volume images, ensuring a seamless examination process without disruption. With SmartExam guided workflow, designing a new type of exam is effortless. The iU22 system remembers every step of the protocol, automatically recording required views, annotations, body markers, mode changes, and quantification, streamlining the entire imaging process.
SmartExam Shuffle further enhances workflow efficiency by enabling users to send images to their PACS in the assigned order, even if it differs from the acquisition order. This feature promotes consistency in ultrasound image review, facilitating easier interpretation and analysis.
Auto Doppler technology automates repetitive manual controls, expediting and standardizing vascular exams. By offering automatic grayscale optimization, sample volume placement, spectral Doppler optimization, angle correction, and color optimization, Auto Doppler ensures standardized exam outcomes and accelerates patient throughput.
The new Fetal Heart Navigator (FHN) assists clinicians in locating the required views of the fetal heart to aid in anomaly detection. After automatically aligning to the ductal arch view as a baseline, FHN provides simple instructions and schematic guidance to obtain the next three views required by ISUOG guidelines. This innovative feature enhances accuracy and efficiency in fetal heart assessment, contributing to improved prenatal care and diagnosis.
Ease of use is paramount when it comes to a premium performance ultrasound system, and the iU22 xMATRIX is designed with this principle in mind. Featuring a small number of one-button controls, users can effortlessly acquire excellent images with minimal effort. The iSCAN one-button optimization function rapidly and automatically adjusts system parameters in both 2D and Doppler modes based on patient and exam types. This reduces keystrokes while ensuring exceptional image clarity across various examinations.
Furthermore, the iFOCUS Intelligent Focusing Technology enhances image quality by automatically computing beam characteristics for a selected region of interest. This technology ensures excellent detail resolution and tissue uniformity, enhancing diagnostic precision. Additionally, the iOPTIMIZE Intelligent Optimization feature instantly adjusts system performance to accommodate different patient sizes, flow states, and clinical requirements, further optimizing imaging outcomes. Together, these advanced functionalities streamline workflow, improve efficiency, and contribute to the overall user experience of the iU22 xMATRIX ultrasound system.
