GE Vivid i Ultrasound Machine

Vivid i builds on the many industryleading features and technologies of Vivid i with more performance, new quantitative analysis tools and a wider range of applications.

• An optional i2 Performance Package enhances image quality with several innovations migrated from the Vivid 7 Dimension.
• Tissue Velocity Imaging* (TVI) and Tissue Tracking* (TT) visualize and quantify LV function.
• SmartStress*, a stress echo protocol, provides image acquisition, review, wall-segment scoring and reporting.
• Five new probes – including a 5S cardiac transducer and a 9T TEE transducer for pediatric exams – further extend Vivid i's wide range of applications.
• IMT analysis package enables clinicians to quickly measure the carotid artery's intima-media thickness.
• EchoPAC's advanced quantitative analysis tools can now be used with Vivid i's raw data.  Perform robust, comprehensive diagnostic exams wherever they're needed. And get complete, real-time diagnostic results – anywhere, even outside the echo lab.

With its i2 Performance Package option, Vivid i offers enhanced image quality, faster image optimization, and increased productivity for novice and skilled users
alike. The i2 package includes:

• Speckle Reduce Imaging (SRI) uses an adaptive, real-time software algorithm to improve image quality.
• Coded Phase Inversion (CPI) enhances contrast imaging with excellent sensitivity, resolution and tissue
• suppression.
• Compound imaging processes cross-beam images to enhance border definition, reduce acoustic artifact and improve contrast resolution.
• Automatic Spectrum Optimization (ASO) provides optimization of PW or CW spectrum scale and baseline display for increased productivity and ease of use.
• Harmonics on all high-frequency probes further enhance image quality
