Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)

A universal platform for contrast-enhanced ultrasound

Ultrasound contrast agents can transform the role of ultrasound, allowing clinicians to study the enhancement patterns of liver lesions in real time, providing faster and more definitive diagnoses. Let us help you develop or refine your CEUS program.

Overview

Overview

Our contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is seamlessly integrated into the standard workflow, providing exceptional detail throughout arterial, portal and late phase scanning. Advanced technology such as MaxVue high-definition display, the C5-1, mC12-3 and C902 PureWave transducers, fusion imaging and integrated quantification via Philips Q-Apps support confidence even in the most challenging exams.
Benefits
Benefits

Advanced insights: Provide personalized ultrasound and elevate your CEUS capabilities.

Workflow: Our ultrasound systems are designed for efficient workflow and ease of use, regardless of operator experience.

Trusted partner: Tailor your support to your needs with advanced collaboration tools, clinical application education and services that help you tackle the business side of healthcare.
Key Features
Key Features
Super Resolution Microvascular Imaging (MVI) combines super-resolution processing and advanced motion compensation. When combined with temporal information from the Time of Arrival map, it helps users determine not only the pattern of blood flow to a lesion, but also the pattern of flow over time.

Our reusable adaptive needle tracker and range of coaxial needle-tip tracked instruments help you navigate small-lesion biopsies or difficult-to-access ablation.

Fusion imaging with Auto Registration allows you to fuse CT/MR/PET/CBCT images with live ultrasound in under one minute [2].

^Affiniti

Affiniti’s broad range of transducers offer PureWave crystal technology and excellent superficial resolution and penetration and combine with the system’s precision beamforming to deliver high image quality for pediatric imaging. Designed for walk-up usability, Affiniti is so intuitive that it requires minimal training on system use to be able to complete an exam [7], and uses the same workflow, interface and transducers as the EPIQ and Compact systems. Light and with a small footprint and fold-down monitor, it easily navigates narrow hallways and tight spaces.
