Vivid E95 product datasheet – June 2015 – DOC1564269 Page 1 of 19

Ease of use for the operator in 2D imaging is provided by the cSound technology delivering auto optimized excellent image quality with minimal manipulation along with automated tools like 2D Auto EF, AFI Productivity Package, AFI Stress and Scan Assist Pro.

Ergonomic features include a highly portable user-adaptable design with electronic adjustable height and keyboard, articulating and height adjustable monitor, and lightweight transducers combining to make the Vivid E95 an ergonomic-friendly cardiovascular ultrasound system.

The cSound platform takes GE’s Raw Data to a new level. For image process-ing and reconstruction, the Vivid E95 utilizes more than 100 times the data compared to its predecessor.

Additionally, the Vivid E95 uses an innovative data format technology that allows for advanced processing on archived images by applying many of the same scan controls and advanced quantitative tools as are available during the original exam.

System Architecture GE’s exclusive, programmable and flexible beamforming technology, cSound, provides exceptional image quality and power compared to conventional GE hardware-based beamforming technology. In 2D, cSound offers true confocal imaging without the limitation of focal zones or sacrifice of frame rate and spatial resolution. In 4D, cSound delivers high spatial resolution at large volume sizes in full volume single-beat and multi-beat 4D acquisition. Using both coherent and harmonic image processing, the system provides computational power, ease of imaging, workflow flexibility and product upgradeability.

The Vivid E95 is designed to excel inthefollowingareas:

Exceptional image quality is created through the use of True Confocal Imaging. The technique is enabled by the cSound platform taking advantage of advanced software-based image reconstruction and state-of-the-art graphics computer technology. The Vivid E95 combines Ultra Definition Clarityfiltering,HDImaging(optimalresolution, penetration and image uniformity),AdaptiveContrast Enhancement(ACE)andvirtualapex(widefield-of-view)todeliverexcellent cardiovascular ultrasound image quality.

Probe Technology – The XDclear™ series of probes are designed to help deliver powerful and efficient sound waves, with high bandwidth and efficiency. XDclear probe technology provides impressive deep penetration and high sensitivity while maintaining high spatial resolution. The combination of Single Crystal, Acoustic Amplifier and Cool Stack technologies is the core technology of the XDclear series of probes.

1 Schering developed harmonic imaging for supporting contrast agent imaging.

2 GE Healthcare's Vivid scanner is designed for compatibility with commercially available contrast agents. Because the availability of these agents is subject to government regulation and approval, product features intended for use with these agents may not be commercially marketed nor made available before the contrast agent is approved for use. Advanced contrast features are only enabled on systems for delivery in countries or regions where the agents are approved for use or for investigational or research use.

• Configureprotocolname,number of levels and views, name of level and views and several other protocol settings (smart stress, show reference, scan mode, preview of store, timer handling,etc.)

4D Analysis Tools 4D Views

• Autoalignmenttodefinestandardorientation of acquired 4D data

• Standardviews,suchas4CH,2CH,LAX,mitralvalveandaorticvalve,aredefined from the standard orientation

• Automaticdisplayofvolume renderings and 2D cut planes from standard views

• Smartstress:Automaticallysetupvarious scanning parameters (for instance geometry, frequency, gain,etc.)accordingtosame projection on previous level

• Scanmodesettings:Scanmode may be specified for individual views in the protocol

• Previewofstore:Showrunning loops as preview before storing to the examination

Continuous Capture

• Continuouslyacquirelarge amounts of 2D image data, and selection of projection views for analysis afterwards

• Theentirecontinuouscapture recording may be kept in memory while it is possible to store new images outside the protocol tem-plate, or the entire recording can be stored to file

• SelectionofprojectionviewsonScanner or EchoPAC when the entire recording is stored to file

Multi-plane Stress Echo

• Bi-planeand/ortri-planeacquisition

• Adjustmentofscan-planeangle and tilt during acquisition

• Individualscan-planesshowninanalysis – possible to show one scan-plane from each of the stress levels simultaneously

AFI Stress Echo (option)

• Singleortri-planeacquisitionof standard 2D apical views

• AnalysiswithdedicatedAFIstressanalysis tool

• Provideslongitudinalstrainvaluesper segment, as well as globally

• Allowscompleteassessmentataglance by combining three longitu-dinal views into one comprehensive bulls-eye view

• IntegratedintoM&A package with specialized report templates

• SimplifiedworkflowwithadaptiveROI,quicktipsandcombineddisplayof traces from all segments


4D Data Cropping

• Flexibletoolforstandardordynamiccropping 4D data using up to six different crop planes

• Eachcropplanecanbemoved without any restrictions

• Thecropplanepositionsarevisible in both the volume rendering and in the 2D cut plane displays

Depth Render

• Volumevisualizationwherethe color hue changes according to the distance into the image

• Wideselectionofdifferent render maps

Stereo Render

• Volumevisualizationbystereoscopic display necessitates the use of stereoscopicglasses,bothred/cyanglasses for conventional StereoVision, and polarized glasses for Polarized stereo vision stereo rendering on dedicatedSony3Dmonitor

Multi-slice

• Simultaneousdisplayof5,7,9or12slices extracted from the 4D volume data(tissueand/orcolor)

• Combinationofshort-axisand long-axis standard views

• Availableinliveandreplay

FlexiSlice

• Simultaneousdisplayofthree independent random slices through the4Dvolume(tissueandcolor)

Virus ProtectionTo reduce virus vulnerability, Vivid E95 is configured with a minimal set of open ports and with all network services not actively used by the system closed down. This helps to significantly reduce the risk of a virus attack on Vivid E95.

GE is continuously judging the need for additional actions to reduce vulnerability of equipment; this includes vulnerability scanning of our products and evaluation of new security patches forthe3rd-partytechnologyused. Microsoft®(andother)securitypatchesthat address serious issues with Vivid E95 will be made available to customers after GE verification of those patches.
