XDclear™ Transducer Technology delivering high level of penetration, resolution, and sensitivity — enabling high-performance ultrasound for broad range of patients. Single Crystal provides higher frequency bandwidth than traditional piezoelectric material, which can produce greater image uniformity and stronger penetration. Acoustic Amplifier Architecture provides a comprehensive acoustic insulation from mechanical structures and increased power efficiency bandwidth with reduced noise and less heat dissipation. Cool Stack relieves inherent heat via an embedded special material that has a high degree of thermal connectivity to further extend penetration and diagnostic power. Specific clinical applications and exam types including: cardiac (adult and pediatric, 40 kg and above), abdominal, fetal/obstetric, gynecological, urological, thoracic/lung, pediatric, adult cephalic, interventional guidance (includes free-hand needle/catheter placement, fluid drainage, nerve block and biopsy)

Black/white imaging. Black-and-white mode for displaying anatomy in two dimensions in real time

Color flow: Color-coded overlay for real-time blood flow imaging

Pulsed wave spectral Doppler displays speed and direction of blood flow allowing velocity measurements

Motion mode displays tissue motion over time (along one direction as indicated by m-mode cursor)

Manual data entry of patient information for an exam. Select from DICOM® Modality Worklist on request. Such worklist supports consistent labeling of images, video clips, and exams before export to DICOM PACS. Query DICOM Modality Worklist for a particular Patient ID

Data for up to 500 exams can be stored on mobile device. Data is stored in generic formats: jpg for still frames mpg for videos. Complementing storage of binary image data can be selected. Such data could be useful for further image analytics in collaboration with GE HealthCare. Data is organized as individual examinations with a collection of images and can be linked with patient identification. All stored data can be recalled for review

Anonymized images and videos can be shared with other apps available on smart devices. Images, video clips, or exams with or without patient information can be wirelessly exported in generic formats (jpg, mp4) to shared network folders. Images, video clips, or exams with patient information can be wirelessly exported in DICOM format to DICOM PACS. Images, video clips, or exams with patient information can be wirelessly exported in DICOMweb™ format using TLS protocol to MyImageCloud1 (option) or other comp third-party cloud storage (STOW-RS)

Vscan Air app starts only after confirmation of mobile device protection with user authentication. Additional security provision via unique user accounts and password protection for the app. Multiple users utilizing a shared mobile device can create and use their own account. Images and other patient information data are stored in a private, ondevice space with no access from other apps on the mobile device. Images are stored on-device without embedded patient identification and linked with encrypted patient database. FIPS 140-2 compliant database encryption (AES-256-bit encryption. User-selectable, additional PIN-protected access to patient data on Vscan Air app. Exam data is wiped off the device after 10 attempts with incorrect PIN

Images are anonymized before being shared with other apps on the mobile device support of enterprise-grade wireless encryption standards including EAP and WPA2 (PSK)TLS encryption with optional peer authentication to support secure DICOM transfer. Configurable time period for image removal on the device after confirmed storage from DICOM Storage Commitment serve.

Helps enhance ultrasound imaging with a minimized number of keys and intuitive, thumb-controllable, touchscreen user interface. The Vscan Air app supports portrait as well as landscape mode to optimize image size and ergonomics for different use scenarios.

Single key/gesture to control freeze/unfreeze, store, gain, and depth control. Two steps to change preset with appropriate transducer. Two steps to start reviewing images from an exam

Presets with optimized settings for imaging different organs. User selectable default preset for immediate use after starting the app.

Distance, circumference, angle, velocity, slope, heart rate, and obstetric measurements (BPD, HC, AC, FL, CRL, AFI, DVP and AOP)

Annotations : Arrow and free text
