Learn more about our technologies and innovations and how they can improve your cardiology ultrasound workflow, exam experience and patient care.
Image quality, advanced insights, workflow and support
- Achieve excellent image quality for every patient, from fetal to adult congenital imaging.
- Reduce variability and improve reproducibility2,3,4,5 with AI-driven protocols, eliminating the need for certain manual tasks.
- Improve clinical confidence with AI-assisted features and tools that automate and quantify and new, advanced measurements including Dynamic Heart Model and Automated Segmental Wall Motion Scoring.5
- Simplify echo exams with more efficient procedures and automation of repetitive tasks with AI-driven features such as Auto Measure and Auto Strain.2,3,6,7,8
Advanced tools for cardiology shared services
- xMatrix transducers provide a complete 2D and Live 3D assessment of cardiac structures and enable advanced quantification tools.
- HeartModel provides robust, reproducible ejection fraction measurements in just seconds for simultaneous LV and LA volumes.9
- AI-based Segmental Wall Motion AI-based software automatically detects borders and uses all left ventricular (LV) segments to calculate a score that aids assessment of LV impairment.
- SmartView Select AI-based technology seeks and identifies the effective images to use in applications such as Strain or EF, as needed by the user.

Featured solutions for cardiology ultrasound for shared services
EPIQ Elite
Philips EPIQ Elite ultrasound features an exceptional level of clinical performance, workflow, and advanced intelligence to meet the challenges of today’s most demanding practices. EPIQ shares the same workflow, interface and transducers as the Affiniti and Compact systems.
Affiniti
Designed for everyday challenges, Philips Affiniti systems feature a small footprint and intuitive interface. Price-conscious organizations unwilling to compromise on quality appreciate its impressive combination of performance, workflow advances and ability to tackle your clinical needs.
Compact 5000 Series
Designed for mobility and performance, the Compact 5000 series shares the same workflow, interface and transducers as the EPIQ and Affiniti systems. With a quick boot-up and long battery life, the system is always ready to go, so you can bring cardiology ultrasound to wherever you need it.
