The bulky looking ATL Philips IE33 Ultrasound Machine incorporates advanced diagnostic capabilities and interpretive features as well as high resolution and detailed image rendering. Until recently it was considered the most advanced ultrasound system available in the market due to the depth of its functionality and unmatched features.  Its features include, color Doppler CW/PW Doppler and tissue Doppler imaging. Additional harmonic tissue imaging feature with M-mode, angia, Live 3D and stress echo are also incorporated in addition to general cardiac and vascular imaging.

The machine comes with a 17 inch LCD color monitor that displays live Xplane imaging with two live imaging planes on the screen simultaneously. It comes with a range of unique probes for specialized and general application and a heart pulse contact sensor. The purewave crystal technology that has been adapted results in unmatched image clarity and the 3D rendering and xMatrix technology ensures that this machine is one of the top of the line ECG machines around. The adjustable arm lets you manipulate the screen positioning. The user interface is intuitive and easy to understand and combines single push buttons with function calling capabilities and alphanumeric keyboard for information entry and management.

The machine provides for cardiac and vascular clinical diagnostic options and features contrast imaging with improved LVO tissue specific application. The carotid intima medial thickness analysis functionality enables early detection of atherosclerosis risk. It also provides panoramic imaging capability. The machine offers connectivity via Netlink and DICOM and has an integrated DVD RW /CDRW drive.

Its application areas span adult, pediatric, fetal and stress echocardiography along with Vascular, transesophageal and contrast echocardiography applications. It is also used in epicardial echocardiography and perioperative monitoring and diagnostics. Though bulky it is easy to move around and offers portability. The machine addresses volumetric imaging needs on both 2D and 3D fronts.


This GE product delivers what is expected of any standard GE medical equipment by using advanced technology to maximize the diagnostic capability of the medical professional in determining cardiovascular anomaly and LV functions. The image quality is superb and as the name suggests is very vivid. Along with a compact design, the GE Vivid Q Portable Ultrasound Machine provides great accuracy and increased diagnostic capability while maintaining high productivity.

The bunch of technologically advanced features that have been incorporated on various fronts include Parametric imagining and quantification support of clinical decisions, Auto Ejection Fraction to describe LV function, automated function imaging, Tissue velocity imaging and tissue tracking, tissue synchronization imaging and Intra cardiac Echo Imaging.

These features equip it with optimal performance capability, advanced quantitative analysis tools and increase the spectrum of its applications to provide common parameters and reduced dependency on image magnification by analyzing and tracking tissue structures and endocardial borders.

Automatic functionalities for locating systolic and diastolic frames and analysis of LV functions and clinical decision support enable differentiating disease from non disease segments and offers streamlined workflow. Advanced cardiac imaging capability translates into exceptional detail in information with regard to advanced interventional cardiography using ultrasound ICE imaging technology.

The compact design makes it portable and easy to move around. The comprehensive set of linear and convex transducers enable conduction of more vascular and abdominal exams. The quick and accurate measurement of carotid arterial intima media thickness helps provide early information on atherosclerosis risk.

The wide aperture improves signal to noise ration and spatial resolution for better penetration. Its functionalities extend its scope of application to within the operating room and in anesthesia by addressing perioperative needs and operative monitoring. The use of intra operative probe supports specific diagnoses within the OR and immediately after surgery. The acquired images can be shared on remote PC using eVue option. It also has significant applications in Pediatric echocardiography.


Ultrasound technology enables medical practitioners to perform non invasive diagnostic procedures on patients for determining causal factors for various ailments or fro examining fetal development in pregnant women. The other uses of these machines are to determine reasons for suspicious heart activity or heart ailments and can help determine the normalcy in the functioning of the human heart.

The Voluson E8 Expert BT08 Ultrasound Machine is a power packed piece of medical equipment which boasts of three transducers and is comes with innovative cutting edge technology that delivers crystal clear images with sharp details and helps you identify and diagnose efficiently and accurately

The CrossXBeam CRI generates high definition images that help differentiate tissue borders. The trademark HD flow technology provides extra sensitive scope for vascular study and narrows down overwriting errors. The volume contrast imaging functionality enhances image quality in either single or multi planes for particular volume acquisition.

The machine incorporates a high resolution endovaginal probe that detects the finest details and displays them in 4D during gynecology exams. Wide sector technology from curved array probes increases the breadth of viewing enabling discernment of additional anatomical information.

Matrix array probes provide better visualization through increased resolution. The image automation features based on sonography, such as automated volume count follicle and volume computer aided display calculate number and volume of hypoechoic structures and help standardize the image orientation of the fetal heart by rendering automatic views from single volume acquisitions.

The unique design is small and light and makes the machine portable. It comes with a 19 inch flat screen monitor which reduces stress on the eyes and provides increased clarity and visibility. A fully articulating arm enables console independent monitoring. The control panel can be adjusted for height as per requirement and the intuitive user interface makes it user friendly and reduces keystrokes and extra manual manipulations.
