Philips recently announced new advanced automation capabilities on its Epiq CVx and Epiq CVxi cardiac ultrasound systems. With Release 5.0, both systems now include automated applications for 2-D assessment of the heart, as well as robust 3-D right ventricle volume and ejection fraction measurements, making accurate exams faster and easier to conduct.1 Together, the new applications provide clinicians with the means to confidently evaluate the heart’s function, increasing diagnostic confidence for patients with pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, coronary disease and heart failure.
