Clinicians can rely on the Vivid E9 to provide detailed and accurate images for comprehensive diagnostic evaluations.
By embracing 4D imaging capabilities, the GE VIVID E9 XDCLEAR ultrasound system opens doors to new possibilities in cardiovascular imaging. It empowers healthcare providers to explore innovative approaches to diagnosis and treatment, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
Thanks to recent advancements in transducer technology, XDclear transducers represent the pinnacle of GE Healthcare's ultrasound transducer performance. Engineered to deliver more robust and efficient sound waves, XDclear transducers boast higher bandwidth and efficiency compared to traditional GE transducers. This technology relies on three key innovations in acoustic engineering.
Firstly, the Single Crystal design enables the growth of advanced piezoelectric material with aligned molecular polarity, resulting in a high-quality acoustic signal with enhanced bandwidth and efficiency. Secondly, the Acoustic Amplifier design isolates the core transducer structure from the mechanical housing, capturing and redirecting unused energy to enhance power efficiency, bandwidth, and reduce noise and heat dissipation. Lastly, the Cool Stack feature optimizes energy use by alleviating inherent heat generation, which can otherwise compromise sensitivity and penetration.
The culmination of these innovations is impressive penetration and sensitivity while maintaining high spatial resolution. In various clinical settings, the Vivid E9 with XDclear technology offers enhanced image quality in 2D, 4D, color, and Doppler modes, bolstering diagnostic confidence and expediting examination times.
In adult echocardiography, the Vivid E9 with XDclear enhances diagnostic confidence and productivity by delivering superb image quality even in challenging patient cases. In interventional suites and operating rooms, the introduction of visualization tools like Polar Vision and Depth Illumination provides clear 3D depth perception of cardiac structures during image-guided device placements, facilitating transthoracic or transesophageal procedures.
For pediatric patients, the Vivid E9 with XDclear ensures a lifetime of follow-up care, from fetal heart imaging through pediatrics to adult congenital heart issues, supporting comprehensive patient care across different life stages.
With its comprehensive portfolio of transducers catering to various body types and imaging needs, the Vivid E9 with XDclear is well-suited for shared services applications, including cardiac, peripheral vascular, abdominal, and obstetrics/gynecology imaging.
The Vivid E9 ultrasound system boasts an adjustable LCD display, offering a 17-inch, all-digital high-definition screen that can tilt and swivel to achieve a comfortable viewing angle. This feature ensures optimal visibility during examinations, enhancing user experience and diagnostic accuracy.
In terms of mobility, the Vivid E9 is highly versatile, being 40% smaller and 30% lighter than console-based ultrasound systems. Its compact design allows for easy transportation, enabling the system to be rolled directly to the bedside, facilitating point-of-care imaging.
Users can adapt the Vivid E9 to their preferences with ease, thanks to its user-adaptable features. Using one-touch ergonomics, the keyboard position, LCD display angle, and touch panel interface can be effortlessly configured to meet individual preferences, enhancing user comfort and efficiency during examinations.
Additionally, the Vivid E9 is equipped with front and rear handles, making it easy to maneuver and transport the system as needed. These handles ensure convenient handling, further enhancing the system's mobility and usability in various clinical settings.
The system's accessible touch panel controls simplify operation, with fewer hard keys and larger keys for easier access. Expanded 4D imaging controls are intuitively organized to facilitate a smooth 4D workflow, providing users with flexibility and efficiency in image acquisition and analysis.
Moreover, the Vivid E9 features an adjustable floating keyboard, allowing users to easily adjust its height and position to suit their ergonomic needs. Once positioned comfortably, the keyboard can be securely locked in place to prevent accidental shifting during examinations.
For added convenience, the keyboard can be conveniently stored out of the way in a drawer when not in use, optimizing workspace and reducing clutter. Furthermore, the system offers convenient data management options, including multiple USB ports and a DVR recorder, facilitating seamless storage and retrieval of imaging data for analysis and review.
