GE VIVID E9

GE Healthcare's first cardiovascular ultrasound system built specifically for 4D imaging – from ergonomics to image acquisition to data management. With quantification tools, 4D Stress and advanced ergonomics. One-touch ease of use puts 4D effortlessly at your fingertips.

Features

The Vivid E9 makes 4D imaging every bit as easy and effortless as 2D imaging. It brings remarkable improvements to your entire 4D workflow process, thanks to fast, consistent reproducibility.

Accelerated Volume Architecture The Vivid E9 features a new Accelerated Volume Architecture (AVA) platform with 8X the processing power of conventional processing. A field of view large enough to capture the entire heart with high frame rates. New D-series transducers enhance 2D, 4D and shared service imaging across your entire patient population.

4D Views 4D Views provides you with “one-touch” options to view images such as 4-chamber, 2-chamber, APLAX, mitral valve and aortic valve. It takes the full volume acquisition data set and, with the touch of a button, automatically crops away the volume to instantly deliver the view you want. 4D Views eliminates the manual cropping and cutting of conventional 3D workflow – a timeconsuming process that’s difficult to teach and learn.

Auto LVQ A mesh-based surface-tracking model, the new 4D Auto LVQ quantification tool provides you with a graphical output of pure 4D volume data. Utilizing temporal data, it delivers more reproducible results that are less prone to artifacts and variable heart rhythms for automatic volume and ejection fractions.

4D Stress Greatly improving workflow for stress echo procedures, 4D Stress is an innovative first step in helping you integrate 4D into the routine of your day-to-day clinical practice. Acquire an entire full volume. Using 4D Stress, the Vivid E9 then cuts that volumetric view into three planes for short-axis analysis and three planes for long-axis analysis, so you can view images more easily. With the Vivid E9, you can now visualize short-axis slices of the entire ventricle under stress. See views you’ve never seen before with conventional stress echo, which only shows you one slice in the short-axis view.

Scan Assist With Scan Assist, you can quickly customize the system for your departmental protocols for CRT optimization, and let the system guide you to the next view, mode and measurement. Using new Scan Assist technology, you can acquire single-cycle or multi-cycle full volumes in any variation of traditional, multidimensional or full-volume views. There are also templates for both exercise and pharmacologic stress, all customizable using Scan Assist.

4D Virtual Store
This innovative feature reduces the size of patient studies by using image pointers to refer back to the original full-volume data set, rather than saving multiple large data sets for every new crop view or measurement.
