3D ultrasound with the AAA Model solution can be used to estimate the diameter and volume of an AAA with acceptable reproducibility and an improved agreement with CT, and with inter-operator reproducibility superior to that of a 2D ultrasound exam.
Philips AAA Model improves the patient experience by eliminating exposure to high levels of radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents that CT Angiography (CTA) requires, while still providing clinicians with the necessary diagnostic information.
The low cost of ultrasound is one reason that it has become the preferred imaging modality for aneurysm screening and surveillance. The AAA model supports this important ultrasound imaging application.
EPIQ Elite Elevate provides high-quality imaging and tailored clinical information to help clinicians deliver timely, confident answers to more patients worldwide. With advanced intelligence and an exceptional level of performance, EPIQ Elite meets the demands of today’s most challenging practices.
EPIQ 7 features an uncompromised level of clinical performance to meet the challenges of today’s most demanding vascular practices.
