Key Features of the GE Vivid IQ Ultrasound System

• Advanced Imaging Modalities:

  • 2D, 3D/4D Imaging: High-resolution imaging for comprehensive cardiac assessments, including TEE (Transesophageal Echocardiography), TTE (Transthoracic Echocardiography), and ICE (Intracardiac Echocardiography).
  • Quantitative Imaging Tools: Automated Function Imaging (AFI) for LV strain, 4D Auto LVQ for left ventricular quantification, 4D Auto AVQ for aortic valve quantification, and 4D TEE capabilities for real-time cardiac imaging.
  • Virtual Convex and B-Flow Imaging: Enhanced visualization for vascular and small parts applications.

• AI-Driven Workflow Enhancements:

  • Auto Doppler and AI Auto Measure Spectrum Recognition: Reduces keystrokes by up to 80%, enhancing reproducibility and decreasing operator fatigue.
  • Cardiac Auto Doppler and 2D Auto LV Measurements: Facilitates faster exams with fewer manual inputs, increasing diagnostic efficiency and consistency across users.

• Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design:

  • Lightweight and Portable: Weighs only 5.2 kg (11.5 lbs), with an optional battery providing up to 4 hours of scan time, ideal for bedside assessments and use in various clinical settings.
  • Intuitive User Interface: Features a 15.6" high-resolution, multi-touch LCD screen with tablet-like gestures (swipe, pinch, zoom) and a sealed interface for easy cleaning.

• Seamless Integration and Connectivity:

  • DICOM and Wi-Fi Capabilities: Ensures secure and efficient data sharing across multiple platforms and departments.
  • Raw Data Storage: Allows post-processing of stored images using the same advanced quantitative tools available during the live scan.

• Interventional and Electrophysiology Applications:

  • Compatible with ACUSON AcuNav and Soundstar ICE Catheters: Expands the system’s capabilities for interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures, providing high-quality intracardiac images.
