Accomplishmore.LOGIQ 7

GE Healthcare is re-imagining ultrasoundto bring you breakthroughs to make yourjob easier and ultimately change the wayultrasound happens. Innovative LOGIQ 7system features, robust LOGIQworks andthe ability to virtually rescan a patient afterthe exam, enable new ways at looking at your workow to bring you enhancedproductivity and comfort.

LOGIQ 7, GEs premium shared serviceultrasound system, is versatile and reliablemeeting the demands of virtually any clinicalsetting. It supports a full range of applications,from abdominal, OB/GYN, small parts, andpediatric, to vascular and cardiovascularimaging, including transesophageal, stressecho, Tissue Velocity Imaging (TVI), TissueVelocity Doppler (TVD) and Q-Analysis.

And we have taken this breakthrough a stepfurther to deliver more comfort. We call it SonoErgonomics ergonomics engineeredwith the ultrasound user in mind. A fullyadjustable at panel monitor, height adjustablekeyboard, and voice-activated operation arejust some of the ergonomic advantages of theLOGIQ 7.

Volume Ultrasound

Image quality is the cornerstone of the LOGIQ 7. GE hasdeveloped advanced technology that gives you improvedresolution and superior image quality, for enhanced diagnosticcapabilities that help you see more than ever before.

LOGIQ 7 turns up the volume in ultrasound by integratingour Volume Ultrasound advancements with 2D optimizationtechnologies taking your facility into a new era of ultrasound.Now, you can acquire and construct volumetric imagesinstantaneously with 4D transducers, reconstruct volumesfrom raw data cine loops and manipulate data to view fromsagittal, transverse or coronal, as well as oblique planes,to see anatomical relationships never before visualized.

Our latest volume enhancements deliver more:

Volume Calculation (VOCAL) automatically calculates volumesbased on trackball tracing (manual, semi automatic or fullyautomatic) of the region of interest for evaluating irregularstructures.

Inversion Mode makes it easier to visualize volumes comparedto conventional ultrasound techniques by automaticallyproviding surface renderings of hypoechoic structures,benecial for the evaluation of contiguous multiple cystsor irregular uid collection.

Volume Contrast Imaging (VCI-Static) delivers unmatchedB-Mode contrast resolution and speckle suppression in eachof the three cut planes, helpful in evaluating solid organs andcystic structures.

Clear ow visualization

B-Flow, a unique GE technology, displays true hemodynamicsand provides direct visualization of blood reectors bymagnifying those blood reectors 30dB (1000 times). Asignicant advantage for vascular studies, it eliminates colorow over-write, frame-rate impact , and offers less angledependence.

In addition, GEs exclusive B-Flow Color adds color to theimage to further enhance visualization of the blood reectors.It also enhances B-Flow resolution and can be used duringanatomical B-Mode scanning. B-Flow Color is part of GEs 3rdgeneration B-Flow coded ultrasound technology.

Contrast Enhanced UltrasoundThe new TruAgent Detection using DualView introduces abrand new era in Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound. Easy, quickand complete with all the diagnostic information you need,TruAgent Detection is a visualization technique based onlow MI contrast agent detection that provides unmatcheddiagnostic capabilities.Based on Coded Phase Inversion GE proprietary technologiesto detect contrast non-linear harmonic signals, TruAgent Detection in DualView Mode provides a UNIQUE RealTime representation of the Contrast and Tissue contentssimultaneously in a DUAL Display, to get what you need, inthe way you work.

The Time Intensity Curve extended package completes theonboard contrast agent capabilities by enabling you to set and analyze up to 8 simultaneous Regions Of Interest withnumerous post-processing possibilities thanks to the exclusiveTruScanTM Contrast Raw Data. Curves, tables and correlatedparameters provide even more details about the exam andfurther increase your diagnostic condence.

Simple settings, easy operations and a full package ofinformation....TruAgent Detection with DualView, a stepforward for all clinical and research applications.

Fewer speckles,more denitionSpeckle Reduction Imaging (SRI) heightens your visibilitythrough enhanced, contrast resolution. SRI is an adaptive,real-time software algorithm that suppresses speckle artifact ,preserves true structure borders whilemaintaining true tissuearchitecture.

CrossXBeam with ColorDoppler, LOGIQView andVirtual ConvexA new Digital Compounding algorithm extends CrossXBeamadvantages to Color Doppler examinations and Extended Fieldof View enabling you to get an unmatched image clarity andcontrast resolution in any workingmodality.

Uncompromised penetrationand resolutionMatrix array transducers with multiple rows of elements helpyou achieve uniform resolution throughout the eld of view,which reduces volume averaging and improves overall imageuniformity in both near and far elds. GEs matrix technologydiminishes the compromises between penetration andresolution.

The virtual rescan

GEs exclusive TruScan architecture makes the virtualrescan possible. TruScan allows raw image data to be storedearly in the image chain for optimum exibility duringprocessing and analysis post exam.With access to raw imagedata, you are able to compensate for variations in imageacquisition by virtually rescanning the patient after theyhave left the exam room.

Using raw data, the virtual rescan allows you to:

Optimize images acquired under difcult scanningconditions:
