As you guide the way to higher standards, employ the eM6c technology - the world's first commercially available curved matric electronic 4D probe designed specifically for women's health. This revolutionary probe opens new possibilities for exceptional care with ultra-fast volume rates, flexible imaging formats, and excellent resolution in routine women's health exams to complex fetal echocardiography.

The eM6c probe works with Voluson's Radiance System Architecture to extract the maximum amount of data rapidly to achieve volume rates up to 16X higher than those with mechanical probe technology.*

Together, the eM6c and the Voluson™E10 set a new standard in imaging performance to help obtain answers you and your patients demand.

MORE DETAIL, MORE CLARITY IN LESS TIME
The eM6C probe offers unique rendering tools to help achieve more clinical information, faster.

Having more information can help enrich clinician-patient communication and facilitate a more complete understanding of exam results. With Voluson's™ suite of HDlive™ technologies, reveal a unique clinical perspective of fetal and female anatomy that brings unprecedented anatomical realism to surface, vascular, and internal structures.

Powered by Voluson's Radiance System Architecture, HDlive utilizes a combination of advanced skin illuminating and shadowing techniques to expose possible hidden details for a deeper understanding of relational anatomy and developing structures.

ILLUMINATING THE FINE DETAILS
While conventional ultrasound rendering uses a fixed light source reflecting light off the skin surface, HDlive delivers customizable virtual light sources. Select light target area, direction, and intensity to highlight depth perception and internal structures.

HDlive Silhouette - Dynamically apply transparency to rendered structures for a more thorough view of anatomy from a solid surface structure to developing internal anatomy.

HDlive Studio - Illuminate fluid and anatomy with up to three independent light sources of variable intensity to focus on even the tiniest of structures.

HDlive Flow - Clearly display vascular structures and orientation with greater dimension and illumination.

HDlive Flow Silhouette - Visualize blood vessels and fetal heart flow to provide greater insight transparently through vascular anatomy.

Congenital Heart Defects are one of the most common and difficult fetal anomalies to detect. Identifying fetal cardiac abnormalities earlier means you can intervene sooner, plan for delivery and potentially improve outcomes. With Voluson™ ultrasound systems, we aim to help you improve patient care with innovative technologies that allow you to focus on early prevention rather than late diagnosis. GE Healthcare's dedication, coupled with collaboration with fetal echo experts, has led to the development of progressive tools to help distinguish the tiniest structures with stunning clarity and to help simplify assessment of the fetal heart. The Voluson ultrasound systems can help you to improve confident patient answers, faster.

CUTTING-EDGE PERFORMANCE. NEXT LEVEL PATIENT CARE.
Explore 3D printing for clinical prototyping, research, and parent bonding

3D printing technology has made great strides in recent years and is used for everything from additive manufacturing to custom art design. The healthcare industry is also harnessing the 3D printing potential to improve patient lives through prospects including prosthetics and surgical planning. Voluson, the leader in 3D/4D imaging, is keeping you at the forefront of this emerging technology by providing the ability export files directly from the system to instantly 3D print projected and full data sets. Downloading directly helps save time and reduces complexity versus using external post processing software.

Projected mesh data sets produce surface renderings without overhanging elements. Therefore, only leading edge surfaces will be generated. This simplified 3D print type is useful in facial, limb, and general anatomical structures.

Full mesh data sets produce overhanging, free standing structures in addition to the surface views. Demonstrating spaces and cavities, this 3D print type is useful when analyzing fetal anomalies such as cleft lip and spina bifida.

In addition, full mesh export files can be generated from color, inversion, and glass body data sets - clearly demonstrating fetal blood flow as well as vessel and surrounding structure relationships.

Mesh exported files can be used with 3D modeling software to further analyze and process for research purposes. Because these mesh files are exported directly from the Voluson ultrasound system to USB or 4D view without necessary manipulation, you can import the files right into a 3D printer for completion.

Voluson ultrasound systems support several file formats including:

• .stl - (STereo Lithographie)
• .obj - (Alias Wavefront OBJect file format)
• .ply - (Standard PoLYgon File Format)
• .3mf - (3D Manufacturing Format)
• .xyz - (Point Cloud File Format)

The most common are .stl and .obj. The advantage of .obj is that it contains the ultrasound skin rendering information for unique results ( e.g. Sepia, HDlive etc.). However, surface rendering data can only be realized in projected mesh.

Voluson systems also offer an export of the volumetric data in DICOM® format (Enhanced Ultrasound Storage; Supplement 43). Useful for research studies, this data can be imported by 3rd party post processing software for conversion to a surface model and refinement for a specific 3D printer.

* Note: With 3D printing rapidly evolving, we refrain from recommending printers.
