Philips EPIQ 7 (2022)

General abdominal imaging covering liver, biliary, renal and general abdominal assessment runs on the C5-1 or C9-2 curved arrays, where single-crystal penetration matters most in larger patients.

Obstetric and gynaecological work runs on curved and endocavity arrays, with the C10-3v end-fire probe providing a 163 degree field of view for transvaginal examination.

Small parts imaging covering thyroid, testicular and superficial structures uses the L12-5 or the eL18-4, the latter reaching 22 MHz for the most superficial work.

Musculoskeletal imaging of tendons, ligaments and joints uses the same high-frequency linear arrays, with fine elevation focusing supporting definition at shallow depth.

Vascular assessment runs on linear arrays with the full Doppler mode set, including Color Power Angio and directional CPA according to the transducers supplied.

Cardiac imaging runs on sector and matrix arrays, with stress echo automatic modes, 2D quantification and 4D transoesophageal imaging available according to the licences and probes supplied.

Services running mixed lists across several specialties are supported by four connected ports and fast switching, so the console moves between examination types without a physical probe exchange.

Built for the Studies That Resist

Single-crystal transducer material and the imaging architecture together target penetration and resolution in patients where depth, habitus or acoustic window make a study demanding.

Efficient Conversion at the Probe

PureWave transducers use pure, uniform single crystals, which convert energy efficiently and produce a broad, clean bandwidth at the point of transmission.

Resolution Optimised Across the Field

nSIGHT forms images through a reconstruction approach that optimises resolution to the pixel level, supported by parallel processing that holds frame rates up.

One Probe Across a Wide Frequency Span

The ultra-broadband eL18-4 generates from 2 to 22 MHz, covering superficial and deeper small parts work from a single linear array.

Two Planes From One Position

Live xPlane acquires and displays two planes simultaneously from a single probe position where an xMATRIX transducer is supplied.

Repetitive Steps Carried by the System

Anatomical Intelligence identifies anatomy and performs the recurring parts of an examination, with every result presented for the operator to accept or adjust.

Gain Optimised While Scanning

Real-Time iSCAN adjusts gain and time-gain compensation continuously during the study, so the image is maintained as the probe moves.

Four Probes Standing Ready

Four active ports keep a working transducer set connected, with fast switching at the console during a mixed list.

Quantification Where Licensed

The Q-Apps suite, shear wave and strain elastography, stress echo automatic modes and 2D quantification extend the console according to the licences supplied.

This Philips EPIQ 7 was built in 2022, and the case for it is aimed at the studies that resist. Depth, body habitus and a poor acoustic window attenuate the signal before it returns, and this platform addresses that from both ends: PureWave transducers built on pure, uniform single crystals convert energy efficiently and transmit a broad, clean bandwidth, while the nSIGHT architecture forms images through a reconstruction approach optimising resolution to the pixel level with parallel processing holding frame rates up. Around those sit an ultra-broadband linear array spanning 2 to 22 MHz, xMATRIX volume transducers with Live xPlane, SonoCT and XRES processing, Anatomical Intelligence carrying the repetitive steps of an examination with every result offered for review, Real-Time iSCAN optimising gain during scanning, and four connected ports with fast switching across a mixed list. Elastography, 4D transoesophageal imaging, stress echo and the Q-Apps suite extend it according to licensing. Clinical judgement remains with the practitioner throughout. The software revision, licensed applications, and transducers supplied with their test results are set out by the seller at quotation.
