MFI-HD offers twice the sensitivity and resolution of MFI in assessing blood flow1. MFI HD is well-suited for studies requiring high resolution and sensitivity, including renal/abdominal, breast, MSK, small parts, CEUS, and OB/GYN exams.
Philips mL26-8 ultra-high frequency, micro-linear transducer allows you to image from eyeball to hip - all with the same, fully versatile transducer. Added presets for MSK, breast, vascular, dermal and ocular provide added versatility.
MFI’s novel spatial-temporal filter analyzes Doppler data, evaluating signal characteristics from both a spatial and temporal dimension in order to distinguish the flow signals from the tissue clutter signals. In this manner, MFI can detect the lowest velocity blood flow, which microvascular vessels typically exhibit, and remove distracting tissue clutter.
The vessel enhancement algorithm in MFI-HD reduces noise and enhances detected vessels1 without introducing blurring often seen with more traditional image processing techniques. This vessel enhancement combines with acoustic transmits designed to optimize flow sensitivity and spatial resolution to improve visualization with high spatial resolution.
MFI HD features four display modes based on if tissue subtraction and echo-flow compare are used, allowing customization of images. When tissue subtraction is on, MFI is focuses on displaying only the flow information, and therefore this provides the most sensitive display method. When tissue subtraction is off, MFI utilizes a tissue-flow arbitration algorithm to seamlessly blend flow with tissue information in a smooth and natural manner, therefore providing anatomical context to the visualized flow. It has the additional benefit of further tissue artifact suppression.
MFI and MFI-HD help in visualizing and detecting blood flow in fetal, placental, uterine and ovarian vasculature. In a study of ovarian perfusion visualization using endocavity transducers, MFI enhanced ovarian perfusion visualization in 100% of cases.* 85% of users surveyed stated that MFI, with its ultrasensitive blood flow imaging, enhances their diagnostic confidence.**
