About the Vivid 7 Ultrasound System

From cardiac, to vascular and pediatric exams, Vivid 7 is versatile enough to share. Its innovative processing techniques and diverse application tools ensure excellent image quality and enhance diagnostic confidence throughout a broad range of studies.

• Multiple-angle compound imaging enhances border definition,reduces acoustic artifact and improves contrast resolution, now available in color flow mode, providing consistent image quality for both the 2D and color image.
• Blood Flow Imaging (BFI) gives a better understandingand delineation of directional blood flow in vessels.
• IMT measuring technology dramatically reduces the time ittakes to measure the carotid artery's intima-media thickness.
• TEE transducers address perioperative needs for adult and pediatric monitoring.

More Vivid 7 Technologies

• 4D Depth Color Render: Two depth color render maps enhance depth perception in any 4D image.
• Advanced TSI: Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI) provides quantification of LV synchronicity information. Time-to-peak data is derived from the simple-to-use "red light/green light"
• 9-slice: See regional wall motion in a whole new way by slicing the left ventricle of a 4D full-volume dataset into nine equidistant short-axis views.
• Real-Time Color Flow Full Volume: Assess hemodynamic information in color, in real time, in the same heart cycle. You also have the option of viewing a 6-slice cross-section of the left ventricle.
• Cutting-edge AFI: Assessing and quantifiying left ventricle wall motion is easy with GE's Automated Function Imaging (AFI) tool, which delivers reproducible, systolic, segmental and global assessments quickly and accurately. New simplified workflow with quick tips, and an adaptive ROI provide more robust and reproducible results for the non-expert, improving speed and confidence in understanding LV function.
• Contrast Imaging: Get enhanced visualization of the LV border for wall-motion analysis and ejection fraction calculations in multi-dimensional and 4D full-volume imaging.
• Tissue Tracking: Provides easy recognition of regional and global wall left ventricular relaxation motion abnormalities.
• Strain Rate Imaging: SRI evaluates ischemic heart disease and true analysis of a specific piece of the myocardium.
• 4D LV Volume: Using the exceptional real-time full volume image quality produced by the Vivid 7 Dimension, the 4D LV volume tailored package from TomTec Imaging Systems can provide a full assessment of the left ventricle, free of geometric assumptions and shape, in less than a minute. These valuable clinical tools are available on both Vivid 7 Dimension and EchoPAC.

The Vivid 7 Dimension helps clinicians to accurately assess cardiac anatomy and LV function with raw data image quality, high frame rates, Coded Octave Harmonics optimized with contrast imaging, and advanced technology that have been setting the pace in echocardiography since the introduction of the very first Vivid system.

At the core of the Vivid family of cardiovascular ultrasound systems is GE’s legendary TruScan imaging platform.With TruScan, the ultrasound data is digitally acquired and stored in a raw state to preserve the integrity of the data. The resulting pristine images can then be viewed, measured, optimized and analyzed from the system or workstation at any time, without losing any of the original image quality.

• Multi-Dimensional and 4D Imaging: 4D depth color render. Two depth color render maps enhance depth perception in any 4D image.
• IMT Breakthrough: IMT measuring technology slashes the time it takes to noninvasively measure the carotid artery's intima-media thickness, which studies show may be an early indication of atherosclerosis. It allows you to streamline workflow and assess cardiovascular health faster.
• 4D CPI Breakthrough: GE has enhanced your contrast imaging capabilities by adding 4D Coded Phase Inversion (CPI) on the 3V transducer. Now, you can get excellent sensitivity, resolution and tissue suppression in 4D imaging. Contrast agents enhance visualization of the left ventricular border for wall motion analysis and ejection fraction calculations in 4D.
• Real-Time Full Volume: RTFV constructs a complete 4D volume online during scanning, enabling you to see the information you are acquiring in real-time, for more complete and artifact-free depictions of the entire heart.
• Tri-Plane Imaging: Provides a real-time simultaneous display of three images from the same heartbeat, ensuring a more accurate real-time assessment and quantification capabilities in grayscale, color and high frame rate Tissue Velocity imaging.
• Stress-Free Stress Echo: Bi-plane and Tri-plane imaging enables complete acquisition of all stress echo views from just two imaging windows.
• Bull's Eye Report Formats and TSI Surface Mapping: Communicate cardiac dyssynchrony in a visual display that should be more familiar to EP physicians.
• Blood Flow Imaging: A new vascular imaging mode gives clinicians better understanding and delineation of directional blood flow in vessels.
