iE33 xMATRIX Echocardiography System

An imaging revelation

Combining unprecedented 2D and 3D image quality in the same transducer and a host of easy-to-use quantification, clinical performance, and information management tools, the new iE33 xMATRIX echo system addresses the clinical needs of managing patients with cardiac disease, including heart failure, valvular disease, and congenital heart disease.

The iE33 xMATRIX  reveals:

Versatile X5-1 transducer
With 3,000 elements and breakthrough PureWave xMATRIX technology, the X5-1 supports virtually any cardiac ultrasound exam, including 3D, 2D, color flow, M-mode, PW/CW Doppler, Tissue Doppler imaging, and contrast-enhanced exams. It delivers outstanding image quality and a new handle design with relaxed grip to reduce user fatigue and improve scanning stability.

  • Acquire crisp, high-resolution 2D images, even on your most difficult patients.
  • Use iRotate electronic rotation to more easily obtain challenging views, such as apical 2 chamber, and to reduce foreshortening.
  • Switch from 2D to 3D imaging at the touch of a button to quickly integrate volume imaging into routine exams.
  • Image the entire heart in 3D, in real time with Live Volume, and enlarge and rotate volumes with iCrop.

Reduce your stress in stress echo
The new Philips iE33 xMATRIX automates stress echo exams, so they’re fast and consistent. Use iRotate Stress Echo in combination with the X5-1 transducer to complete an entire stress echo protocol. You can include acquisition of 2-chamber, 3-chamber, and 4-chamber 2D images all from the standard windows following peak patient exertion—without rotating the transducer.

As you move electronically around the heart capturing baseline images, making any necessary small angle adjustments, these adjustments will be saved, along with gain and depth settings, for instant recall when you are in your post-exercise or -pharmacologic stage. A much less stressful stress echo solution that benefits both you and your patients.

With CMQ-Stress, you can quantify 2D stress echo studies and communicate global and regional LV function during each stage. And Live 3D stress echo with iSlice lets you add volume acquisition to your stress protocol and slice it later for the best views and content to make informed diagnoses—with confidence.

Accurate 2D and 3D LV function and regional wall motion assessment
Cardiac Motion Quantification (CMQ) increases the accuracy of LV function and wall motion measurement. The new CMQ speckle tracking algorithm makes strain analysis a useful tool in assessing presence and extent of LV disease includes multiple strain and strain rate parameters, including longitudinal strain.
 

Cardiac 3D Quantification Advanced (3DQ Advanced) is the first semi-automated analysis of true LV volumes.

3DQ Advanced uses all the voxels available to generate a full 3D endocardial border with greater accuracy.
Waveform display provides accurate data for assessing global function based on LV volume, ejection fraction and stroke volume. Simultaneous display of 17 regional waveforms enables temporal comparisons between segments.

More information for interventional procedures 
Live 3D TEE (transesophageal echo) is providing clinical cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, interventional cardiologists, and echocardiographers with views of cardiac structure and function seen for the first time. Capturing a 3D volume is quick, accurate, reproducible, and quantifiable. You can view the 3D heart in real time as well as review the 3D volume at any time, select any plane for interrogation, and perform extensive quantification. It’s more information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

CX50

CX50

A new class of compact echocardiography

Now you don’t have to trade performance for portability. Premium capabilities are integrated into the CX50 CompactXtreme ultrasound system for excellent performance everywhere you need it.

Performance you can count on 
The CX50 system was designed for your critical study requirements. Its premium 2D imaging and Doppler performance are possible because of clinically proven capabilities migrated from the premium iE33 system, bringing a new level of clarity to compact echo.

  • PureWave transducers – provide the ability to image a wide range of patients with one transducer. You can rely on exceptional tissue detail and clarity for your portable studies, including your technically difficult patients. PureWave is supported on the S5-1 and X7-2t sector transducers for 2D transthoracic and transesophageal imaging, and the C5-1 curved array for deep abdominal vascular exams.
  • Advanced XRES – is an adaptive processing available that eliminates virtually all speckle noise, improving image clarity and margin definition. XRES is supported on all imaging transducers.
  • SonoCT imaging – is supported on the L12-3 linear array and C5-1 PureWave curved array transducers for vascular studies. SonoCT compounds multiple angles, in real time, into one image with extraordinary clarity.

 Breakthrough workflow solutions 

  • Easy – The CX50 is designed for usability. The common Philips user interface has logically grouped controls for easy and intuitive access.
  • Quick – One-button controls like iSCAN allow fast optimization of system performance during 2D and Doppler examinations. The system stores active native data so you have the ability to readjust virtually all scanning parameters during or after the exam, enhancing diagnostic details and shortening exam times.
  • SmartExam – System-guided protocols help ensure you have captured the required views for your studies. SmartExam protocols have been clinically proven to reduce exam time by up to 50% by reducing keystrokes and alerting you if views have been missed.
  • Stress echo – The CX50 supports full cycle adult stress echo protocols for a complete cardiac exam package.

Quantification – On-board QLAB software offers quantitative assessment of cardiac anatomy and function during and after exams:

 Premium performance on the go
With the CX50, you can capture clear diagnostic data where definitive information is most critical – in acute care units and at patient bedsides. You can also support satellite clinics and rural visits with premium ultrasound. Battery operation, ‘instant on’, and portability options make the CX50 an ideal solution for quick responses where performance counts.

 The perfect complement
While you keep your echo lab on schedule with the iE33 premium system, now you can offer extended services with premium results outside the traditional lab environment with the CX50 CompactXtreme system
