GE Vivid q

GE Vivid q Specifications

Performance Features and Clinical Tools

• The M4S-RS matrix array transducer produces excellent 2D images for adult cardiac applications.
• Coded Octave imaging takes GE’s image quality to the next level, enhancing your images for color flow and Doppler imaging.
• Smart Depth automatically adapts imaging parameters to help operators save time and increase standardization among users.
• Smart Stress can improve workflow, shorten optimization time, and support reproducibility for review, wall-segment scoring, and reporting.

Parametric Imaging and Quantification Support Clinical Decisions

• Auto EF provides one of the most commonly used parameters to describe the LV function, the Ejection Fraction (EF). The 2D strain-based tool assists in finding the endocardial border. It can also reduce the dependency on “seeing” the border in each image by analyzing and tracking the myocardial tissue. The program automatically locates the end systolic and end diastolic frames.
• Automated Function Imaging (AFI) supports LV function analysis at rest, visualizing the longitudinal wall shortening and lengthening and highlighting a segment’s contraction. AFI highlights potential wall motion abnormalities. It may decrease LV function assessment variability, provide clinical decision support, and streamline workflow.
• Tissue Velocity Imaging (TVI) and Tissue Tracking (TT) show tissue velocity and displacement in the direction of the ultrasound beam with high temporal resolution and also visualize short events.
• Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI) facilitates the translation of comprehensive quantification into an easy-to-understand image demonstrating the mechanical synchronicity of different myocardial segments.
• On-board Quantitative Analysis allows in-depth analysis of the ultrasound data, including deriving traces and Curved Anatomical M-Modes.

Intracardiac Echo (ICE) Imaging

Combining exceptional detail and quality of information with advanced interventional echocardiography ultrasound ICE imaging technology, Vivid q opens another window to the heart.

• ICE catheters deliver excellent image quality and real-time visualization of cardiac structural anatomy, and therapy catheters aid in monitoring and guidance during interventional procedures.
• ICE can give you a better understanding of structural orientation during trans-septal puncture procedures to help you avoid clinical complications.

OR/Anesthesia

• Address perioperative needs with transthoracic examinations under challenging conditions.
• Enable monitoring with the help of adult or pediatric TEE.
• Support saphenous vein harvesting and carotid evaluations.
• Use the intra-operative probe to obtain information to support specific diagnoses in the OR during and directly after open-heart surgery.
• Share images remotely on a PC with the eVue option for efficient, convenient consultations.

Pediatric Echocardiography

• Examine children of all ages, including newborns.
• Choose from a wide range of sector, micro convex, linear, and transesophageal transducers plus a specific ECG cable.

Obstetrics / Gynecology

• Focus on fetal echo or comprehensive examinations.

Shared Services

• Conduct vascular and abdominal exams with Vivid’s comprehensive set of linear and convex transducers.
• Display blood flow with 2D-like spatial resolution and no color-flow-imaging artifacts with B-Flow and Blood Flow Imaging (BFI).
• Measuring the carotid artery’s intima-media thickness quickly with the IMT analysis package may obtain early information on atherosclerosis risk.
• Use Wide Aperture to support improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution for better penetration in deeper structures.
