EPIQ  Elite

A new class of premium ultrasound has arrived

─

Philips EPIQ Elite ultrasound features an exceptional level of clinical performance, workflow,

and advanced intelligence to meet the challenges of today’s most demanding practices.

The EPIQ Elite platform brings ultimate solutions to ultrasound,

with clinically tailored tools designed to elevate diagnostic confidence to new levels. 

nSIGHT Imaging

Far surpasses conventional ultrasound performance to reach new

levels of definition and clarity. Incorporating a custom multi-stage

precision beamformer along with massiveparallel processing, this

proprietary architecture captures an enormous amount of acoustic

data from each transmit operation and performs digital beam

reconstruction along with mathematically optimized focal

processing. This creates extraordinary real-time images with

exceptional frame rate, uniformity and penetration. 

FlexVue with Orthogonal View

95% of OB/GYN users surveyed* feel, FlexVue and Orthogonal View,

improves their workflow and 85% say it enhances their diagnostic

confidence as well.

MFI HD

85% of OB/GYN users surveyed*, feel MFI HD,

with its ultrasensitive blood flow imaging,

enhances their diagnostic confidence.

24" HD MAX display

This new immersive 24” display monitor offers the ultimate ultrasound

visualization experience, with an ultra-wide color gamut of 10-bit color

depth that uses billions of colors for accurate color reproduction.

In addition, it provides high-contrast dynamic range and enhanced black

levels for subtle delineation of grayscale values. HD MAX features

superb off-angle viewing for visualization of clinical images

throughout the scanning room.

XRES Pro, the next-generation image processing

At real-time frame rates, XRES Pro uses multi-parametric precision

filters that subdivide image elements, analyze this data and then

apply advanced algorithms to sharpen borders and interfaces and

provide superb tissue conspicuity. XRES Pro also offers enhanced

assessment of plaque morphology. XRES Pro allows you full

adjustability to match the level of enhancement to

clinical imaging requirements for elevated diagnostic confidence

with virtually all patients.

MicroFlow Imaging

Designed to detect slow and weak blood flow anatomy in tissue. This

proprietary approach overcomes many of the barriers associated with

conventional methods to detect small vessel blood flow with high

resolution and minimal artifacts. MicroFlow Imaging maintains high

frame rate and 2D image quality while applying advanced artifact

reduction techniques to reveal small vessel anatomy

PureWave & xMATRIX transducer technology

The power of PureWave for exceptional imaging even

on technically difficult patients. PureWave crystal technology

represents the biggest breakthrough in piezoelectric

transducer material in 40 years. The pure, uniform

crystals of PureWave have virtually perfect uniformity

for greater bandwidth and twice the efficiency of

conventional ceramic materials.

xMATRIX transducers, powerful and versatile

No other premium ultrasound solution can run xMATRIX,

the comprehensive suite of the world’s most innovative ultrasound

transducers. Achieve ultra-thin 2D slices. Use Live xPlane imaging to

create two full-resolution planes simultaneously, allowing you to

capture twice as much clinical information in the same amount of

time. Acquire near-isovoxel resolution to reveal images from any plane

within the volume.

Anatomically Intelligent ultrasound - machin

intelligence for faster more reproducible analysis

At the heart of the powerful EPIQ Elite architecture is our Philips

exclusive Anatomical Intelligence Ultrasound (AIUS), designed to

elevate the ultrasound system from a passive to an actively

adaptive device. With advanced organ modeling, image slicing,

and proven quantification, exams are easy to perform,

more reproducible, and deliver new levels of clinical information.

Some examples of our AIUS capabilities include HeartModel,

AI Breast and Auto-registration of image fusion and navigation.

intelligence for faster more reproducible analysis

modality fusion and interventional guidance

Make confident decisions even in challenging diagnostic cases with

fully integrated fusion capabilities that feature streamlined workflows

to allow clinicians to achieve fast and effective fusion of CT/MR/PET

with live ultrasound. By combining imaging modalities directly on the

ultrasound system, you now have access to an even more powerful

diagnostic tool with advanced visualization allowing for fast clinical

decisions. Expand fusion and navigation capabilities through a range

of transducers across applications, including the X6-1 xMATRIX, C5-1,

C9-2, eL18-4, L12-5, C10-4ec, S5-1 and the new mC7-2.

Powerful system security - protecting sensitive

patient data

Hospitals and healthcare organizations are spending more to

protect their systems and patient data from cyber-attacks.

That is why healthcare cybersecurity spending will exceed

$65 billion over the next five years. Ultrasound devices are

highly mobile and can exist in a wired or wireless environment.

As a result, Philips has made security a high priority for

ultrasound systems. The EPIQ Elite platform is built on

Window 10 OS and features a powerful defense-in-depth

principle and deliver an outstanding set of data security

features comprising of five core layers.

Elastography

The EPIQ Elite platform supports both strain and shear wave

imaging methods of elastography. Highly sensitive strain imaging

can be used to rapidly assess relative tissue stiffness values across

a variety of applications. ElastQ Imaging methods of shear wave

elastography use a unique pulsing scheme to generate and

detect the propagation speed of shear waves, providing

a quantitative display and measurement of tissue stiffness.

ElastQ Imaging also provides a confidence map display to assist

you in obtaining measurements from areas with the highest

shear wave quality.
