electronic matrix 4D probe, e M6C |
GE healthcare introduces the world’s
first commercially available curved electronic matrix 4D probe, eM6C. The eM6C
probe was totally designed keeping women’s health in mind.
Electronic 4D means there are no
moving parts for beam steering. The curved electronic 4D ultrasound probe uses
more than 8,000 piezoelectric crystals to electronically steer the ultrasound
beam and provide clarity and speed.
E4D technology uses a 2-stage beam
handling process with the first stage occurring within the beam itself.
Electronic
beam steering enables the eM6C to deliver ultrafast volume rates for real time
display of motion and superb visibility of anatomical structure and functionality.
The electronic in the handle generates heat, which requires heat dissipation.
To dissipate the heat the eM6C probe uses active cooling allowing it to achieve
greater penetration and image quality when compared to probe using passive
cooling techniques. The Voluson E10 with radiance architecture provides the
second stage of beam formation, where the unique system rapidly process
information applying the image processing algorithms to create the final image.
The eM6C probe offers unique rendering
tools for accurate clinical information in fast pace daily routine:
- Biplane imaging of structures that can be simultaneously displayed on the screen.
- VCI-A (Volume
Contrast Imaging) delivers excellent contrast resolution because of thick slice
volume of the grey scale and color Doppler imaging. The ultrafast frame rate of Voluson
e4D allows VCI-A to be used in standard mode for examining heart, fetal brain
and extremities, especially in obese or technically difficult patients.
- eSTIC (electronic Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation) reduces the acquisition time over traditional TIC by 75% thereby enhancing fetal cardiac imaging. The technology provides improved resolution in the B and C planes for efficiency and confidence.
- e4D SnapShot –this provides one button access to save time when switching from Real-time 4D to acquire high resolution 3D volume or eSTIC data sets. SnapShot reduce keystrokes more than 80% when moving from Real-time 4D to eSTIC or 3D rendering.
The Voluson E10 is GE’s newest and
most advanced Voluson system to date. The Voluson E10’s Radiance System
Architecture sets a new standard in imaging technology and gives the more
clarity because of 4X ultrasound pathways for spectacular 2D and 3D/4D images
with increased penetration, transfer the data at 10x speed providing higher resolution and very fast
frame rates and it processes the information 4X times faster to streamline the
workflow.
The Voluson
e10 can export images to an integrated DVD/CW RW, Flash memory, or DICOM network
for images, backup, and patient data.
The other
automation tools rendered by Voluson E10 are:
- SonoBiometry: Performs semiautomatic biometry (BPD, HC, AC and FL) to reduce time and number of keystrokes.
- SonoNT™ (Sonography-based Nuchal Translucency) and SonoIT (Sonography-based Intracranial Translucency) – Both these tools provide semi-automatic, standardized measurements of the nuchal and intracranial translucency in the 1st trimester. Both tools reduce the inter and intra-observer variability because of manual measurements and consistency of reading in repeated measurements.
- SonoVCAD™heart (Sonography-based Volume Computer Aided Display heart) helps standardize image orientation of the fetal heart by providing recommended views obtained from a single volume acquisition.
Images with eM6C probe, Voluson E10 |
Voluson e4D technology: a combination of eM6C probe,
Voluson E10 and radiance system architecture delivers extraordinary image
quality to push the boundaries of Ultrasound imaging.
“The electronic 4D technology may
revolutionize imaging of the fetal heart.” Said Dr. Greggory DeVore “This eM6C
probe offers diagnostic possibilities for Real-Time 4D imaging that helps
reduce movement artifact. The new eSTIC technology conquers the limitations of
resolution affected by the sweep angle and artifacts associated with
color/power Doppler ultrasound of the fetal heart.”
