Philips ClearVue 850 Ultrasound Machine

The Philips ClearVue 850 is a midrange 4D OB/GYN and shared service ultrasound machine with 19″ LCD color monitor and fully articulating arms. As a representative Philips mid-range system, the Clear Vue series integrates Philips Microfine 2D focusing technology. The Philips ClearVue 850 has been introduced based on the same architecture of ClearVue 650, but added adjustable height function and strain elastography as unique features. As other ClearVue series, ClearVue 850 strengthens its image quality by Philips patent technologies — iSCAN for grayscale, Color Doppler, pulsed wave Doppler, AutoSCAN, SonoCT, and XRES. With Philips ClearVue 650, the Philips ClearVue 850 is one of the mid-range 4D options with 4D convex, 4D transvaginal, and Auto Face Reveal, iSlice, Fetal STIC.

Review

Philips ClearVue 850 Review:
The ClearVue series share the platform with the rest of the ClearVue series, so by adding options at lower versions the lower version of ClearVue systems can be upgraded to the ClearVue 850. However, considering the cost-efficiency, an initial wise investment in the beginning will save a lot more rather than upgrading the system later. If a user is not buying the system for strain elastography and height adjustable option, the user can choose the lower version as his or her specialty and clinical requirements.

FAQs

Philips ClearVue 850 FAQs:
• iSCAN is an one-touch image optimization function for 2D mode and Doppler mode. It is available on all imaging transducers and operations in conjunction with SonoCT and XRES imaging.

 

• SonoCT (Real-time compound imaging) helps eliminate virtually all clutter and artifact. It automatically select the number of steering angles (up to 9) based on the user-selected resolution/frame rate (Res/Speed) condition of all curved and linear array transducers. It operates in conjunction with Tissue Harmonic Imaging, XRES imaging, volume modes, and duplex Doppler.

 

• Expanded field of View enables a transducer to be moved along a larger organ, stitching multiple images together to form one long image with an extremely wide field of view. It is available on linear transducers up to 15° on each side in vascular and general imaging applications.

 

• SmartExam Protocols: is fully customizable protocol capability for any clinical application supported on the system with flexibility to conduct the examination protocol in any sequence. It supports preset protocols for transthoracic and transesophageal cardiac and vascular exams based on industry and accreditation guidelines.

 

• QLAB IMT: This QLAB tool makes measurement of intima media thickness in carotids and superficial vessels quick and consistent.

 

• Fetal STIC (Spatio – Temporal Image Correlation) imaging presents the heart beating in a multi-planar display, preserving spatial and temporal relationships of fetal heart. Fetal STIC utilizes MPR views and cineloop capabilities for evaluating fetal heart anatomy, and supports capture in grayscale only or combined with color Doppler. Fetal STIC is available on volume transducers.

 

• QLAB 3DQ GI: This QLAB tool on the Philips system allows viewing, quantification, cropping, rotation, and measurements of 3D image data set.

 

• Intelligent Doppler imaging automatically maintains optimal angle-to-flow to assist in delivering consistent Doppler velocity measurements (available with vascular and general imaging application packages on linear transducers only)

 

• Adaptive Doppler boosts weak signals to enhance spectrum visibility and pulsed-wave audio signals for enhanced flow assessment
