Philips Healthcare has released a new pediatric ultrasound assessment package for use on its Epiq Elite ultrasound scanner.
The package gives clinicians "exceptionally detailed images" and is designed to enable them to make a diagnosis of pediatric patients without the need for additional diagnostic modalities like x-ray, according to the company.
The package combines dedicated transducers, enhanced image processing, and software tools that are optimized for pediatric diagnostic workflow. Philips believes the package can result in up to 30% greater penetration for better image resolution, according to the company.
The package joins other dedicated ultrasound offerings from Philips for clinical applications such as small parts, liver, vascular, and breast imaging.
