Philips iU22 Diagnostic Ultrasound
The Philips iU22 is a high-performance, shared-service ultrasound system known for its advanced 2D, 3D, and 4D imaging capabilities, catering to general, OB/GYN, cardiac, and vascular applications. Key features include PureWave crystal technology for excellent image quality, xMATRIX for simultaneous multi-plane imaging (xPlane), SonoCT for artifact reduction, XRES for tissue definition, iScan for intelligent optimization, and SmartExam for guided workflows, making it versatile for challenging patients and complex diagnostics like elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
Key Features & Technologies:
- PureWave & xMATRIX: Utilizes special crystal technology and xMATRIX probes (like the X6-1) for superior 2D and 3D imaging, even in difficult-to-image patients, offering real-time multi-plane (xPlane) views.
- Advanced Imaging: Supports 2D, 3D/4D, Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI), Contrast-Specific Imaging (CSI), Color Doppler, and more.
- Image Enhancement: Features SonoCT (compound imaging) and XRES (artifact reduction) for clearer, artifact-free images.
- Workflow Efficiency: Includes iScan for automatic optimization, SmartExam for protocol-based exams, and iCommand for voice control.
- Specialized Tools: Offers elastography (including strain and shear wave), contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and percutaneous navigation (PercuNav).
Hardware & Design:
- Monitor: Typically features a large LCD display (e.g., 21-inch widescreen in later models) with an 8.4-inch touchscreen control panel.
- Ports: Multiple active transducer ports (e.g., 4) and USB connections.
- Ergonomics: Designed with an articulating control panel and lighter transducer cables.
Applications:
- General Imaging: Abdominal, Radiology, Musculoskeletal.
- Women’s Health: Obstetrics & Gynecology (including 4D).
- Cardiology: Cardiac (including 3D/4D) and Vascular analysis
