Refurbished Ultrasound

Performance Features and Clinical Capabilities

The GE Vivid q ultrasound system is designed to deliver high-quality cardiac, vascular, and general imaging in a compact, portable format. With advanced imaging technologies, automated workflow tools, and quantitative analysis functions, the system supports confident clinical assessment across a wide range of applications.

Advanced Cardiac Imaging

The addition of the M4S-RS array transducer enhances 2D imaging performance for adult cardiac examinations, helping clinicians obtain clearer and more detailed cardiac views.

Coded Harmonic Imaging further improves image quality by enhancing 2D, colour, and Doppler imaging performance. This supports better tissue definition, improved contrast resolution, and more reliable diagnostic interpretation.

Smart Workflow Tools

The Smart Depth function automatically adjusts key visualisation parameters, helping less experienced users achieve consistent image quality while allowing experienced operators to save time during examinations. This also supports better standardisation between different users.

Smart Stress improves stress echo workflow by reducing optimisation time and supporting reproducible analysis, assessment of regional myocardial contractility, and structured reporting.

Quantitative Clinical Decision Support

The Vivid q combines many of the advanced capabilities of the GE Vivid i platform with improved workflow efficiency, new quantitative analysis tools, and broader clinical application options.

Auto EF Function

The Auto EF function assists with calculation of ejection fraction, one of the most commonly used parameters for evaluating left ventricular function.

It supports:

Accurate localisation of the endocardial border
Myocardial analysis and tracking to reduce dependence on manual border tracing
Automatic detection of end-systolic and end-diastolic frames
Faster and more consistent LV function assessment

Automated Function Imaging

Automated Function Imaging supports left ventricular function analysis by visualising myocardial shortening and lengthening along the long axis. It helps identify contraction patterns across myocardial segments and can assist in differentiating affected segments from healthy tissue.

This helps reduce variability in LV function assessment and supports more consistent clinical decision-making and workflow optimisation.

Tissue Velocity and Myocardial Motion Analysis

Tissue Velocity Imaging and Tissue Tracking display tissue velocity and myocardial displacement in the direction of the ultrasound beam. With high temporal resolution, these tools allow visualisation of short-term changes in myocardial motion and function.

Tissue Synchronisation Imaging

Tissue Synchronisation Imaging translates complex quantitative analysis into a clear visual display of mechanical synchrony across different myocardial segments. This supports easier interpretation of cardiac timing and contraction patterns.

General Imaging Applications

The Vivid q system combines laptop-style portability with high image quality, allowing examinations to be performed wherever they are needed.

With a full range of linear and convex transducers, the system can support vascular, abdominal, and general ultrasound examinations.

B-Flow and Blood Flow Imaging modes display blood flow with high spatial resolution, helping reduce artefacts commonly associated with conventional colour flow mapping.

The IMT analysis package allows fast and accurate measurement of carotid intima-media thickness, supporting early assessment of atherosclerosis risk.

Wide-aperture imaging improves signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution, helping achieve better penetration and clearer visualisation of deeper anatomical structures.
