Defining the Future in Ultrasound Technology GE Ultrasound Philip W. Ralls, Kevin P. Lee LA County + USC Medical Center Keck School of Medicine University of Southern California
GE Ultrasound – 2001A History of Accomplishments • Digitally Encoded Ultrasound • Sophisticated Transmit / Receive Beamformers • Pulse Encoding • Coded Excitation – Penetration at Higher Frequency • Harmonic Imaging – Tissue and Contrast • B-Flow • Active Matrix Array Transducer Technology • Enhanced Spatial/Contrast Resolution • Others – EFOV, Virtual Convex Technology, 3D Sonography, High Resolution, US Contrast
Pulse Encoded HarmonicsAdvantages Less Artifact Clearer, Better Images
B-FLOW - 2001 • Wide Variety of Transducers • Abdominal B-Flow • Color Coded Enhanced Viewing
B-FLOW – 2001Abdominal B-Flow • Precision of Grayscale • No Overwrite Problem • Color Coding – Visualization Enhanced
B-FLOW - 2001 • Excels in the Near Field • Spectacular Vascular Images • Flow Dynamics Revealed
