GE Healthcare's Vivid T9: a hybrid ultrasound system for optimised cardiovascular care
GE Healthcare's Vivid T9 stands out for its ergonomic design and advanced features, making it an ideal solution for cardiovascular practices and shared services. This hybrid system combines the power of Vivid platform cardiac imaging technologies with the proven versatility of LOGIQ systems, delivering exceptional image quality and robustness even in the most demanding environments.
It is designed to withstand harsh conditions thanks to its solid construction and rigorous testing, including intense vibrations, repeated shocks and extreme temperature variations. This reliability allows for long-term use in a variety of clinical settings, including areas where dust and heat can pose technical challenges.
The Vivid T9's ergonomic design promotes user comfort. Its intuitive interface features a 10.1-inch multi-touch touchscreen, controls conveniently located around the trackball, and a height- and rotation-adjustable keyboard and monitor. These features allow for use in either a seated or standing position, depending on operator preference. Mobility is ensured by a lightweight design (60 kg), sturdy castors and front and rear handles that facilitate movement on different types of flooring.
In terms of imaging performance, the Vivid T9 offers state-of-the-art tools for cardiac analysis. The AI-based Cardiac Auto Doppler feature provides Doppler measurements over multiple heart cycles, improving consistency of results while reducing exam time. AutoEF 2.0 and Automated Function Imaging (AFI) 2.0 facilitate the assessment and quantification of ventricular wall motion. Applications such as SmartStress, Tissue Velocity Imaging and Strain/Strain Rate Imaging enrich the diagnostic arsenal for better patient care.
The Vivid T9 is also suitable for shared services thanks to options such as Virtual Convex, B-Flow and LOGIQ View, which optimise image quality in non-cardiac examinations. Its compatibility with a wide range of probes, both for cardiology and other applications, makes it a versatile tool.
This system incorporates state-of-the-art security and connectivity solutions. With LDAP protocol, configurable passwords and hard drive encryption, patient data protection is assured. The system is compatible with Windows 10 and offers features such as Tricefy Uplink for cloud image sharing and extended DICOM support.
The Vivid T9 offers peace of mind and a low total cost of ownership, while enabling healthcare professionals to optimise their clinical results.
