GE Healthcare has introduced a new portable ultrasound system, Logiq P5.

The system is being showcased at the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) conference in Denver this week, and includes GE's High Definition Speckle Reduction Imaging technology, CrossXBeam spatial compounding, and 4D imaging capabilities, according to the Chalfont St. Giles, U.K.-based vendor.

GE said that Logiq P5 was designed with the company's SonoErgonomics design, which includes ease-of-use functions such as a full-size keyboard, hot keys, and user-defined keys.

Images depict a 49-year-old female participant with cryptogenic cirrhosis who presented with a 3.2-cm liver lesion. This biopsy-confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with an initial categorization of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) category LR-4 (probably HCC) at CT was upgraded to LR-5 (definitely HCC) at contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). (A) Precontrast CT images in the liver show vague hypoattenuation in the medial left hepatic lobe (arrows). (B) Arterial phase images demonstrate no definite arterial phase hyperenhancement (arrows). (C) Washout and an enhancing capsule (arrows) on a late-phase image resulted in an LR-4 categorization. (D) B-mode ultrasound shows a round hypoechoic nodule (arrows). (E) An early-phase CEUS image shows clear arterial-phase hyperenhancement (arrows); (F) No washout at one minute (arrows), and (G) late, mild washout at four minutes (arrows) resulted in a CEUS LR-5 categorization.

Ultrasound images depict a 63-year-old man who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. (A–D) 2D images show four hyperplastic parathyroid glands on the right and left sides (marked with crosshairs). The numbers near the crosshairs represent the number of measured trails. (E) Ultrasound-guided infusion of isolation fluid (arrowheads) around the hyperplastic parathyroid gland to protect vital organs such as the trachea (Tr), carotid arteries (CA), and recurrent laryngeal nerve pathway area (arrow). F) Ultrasound-guided RFA of the hyperplastic parathyroid gland. (G) Immediate postoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows no contrast enhancement in the ablation area. The ablation procedures for the other three parathyroid glands were the same as those described above. Image courtesy of the RSNA,
