The Philips iE33 is a premium level cardiovascular ultrasound machine that was launched in 2004 and has been revised and improved over the past decade. In 2010 Philips launched the iE33 xMatrix, a major update that supported the brand new xMatrix transducers with thousands of elements each and capable not only of extraordinary image quality, but also viewing images in 2 planes in real time as well as 4D without the need for a mechanical probe. The Philips iE33 xMatrix also has the powerful QLAB quantification package and a host of other cardiovascular specific software enhancements that speed and add diagnostic confidence to standard cardiac and vascular exams. The Epiq 7 has replaced the iE33, but as it has over a decade of being the cardiovascular gold standard it remains one of the most popular ultrasound machines in demand. Those looking for similar power and features at the premium level who focus on OB/GYN or radiology should consider instead the Philips iU22 which looks identical to the iE33 except for one touchscreen while the iE33 has two.

The Philips Epiq 7 is the top-of-the-line shared service ultrasound machine from Philips. It offers xMatrix and Purewave single crystal probes, a compact and lightweight design and superior ergonomics and workflow. The Epiq 7 replaces the older Philips iE33 but is shared service rather than only cardiovascular. All the Epiq and Affiniti ultrasound machines look visually very similar and use the same monitor and huge tablet like touchscreen for navigation.
The SonoScape E2 is categorized as an economy portable Color Doppler ultrasound system that is designed for abdominal, cardiac, gynecology, musculoskeletal, obstetrical, pediatric, small parts, cephalic, urology, veterinary, and vascular exams. More advanced hardware and software platforms has been developed from the older generation model, the SonoScape S2. The SonoScape E2 integrated a number of advanced imaging technologies such as the full digital broad band width beam former, wide band dynamic range and multi-beam parallel processing. The SonoScape E2 is a fully equipped ultrasound from very basic clinical screenings to in-depth and full exam profiles with high-end options such as Auto IMT, Spatial Compounding, Auto Image Optimization, Stand-by Mode, Enhanced Needle Visualization, Panoramic imaging with 2 standard probe ports, and 15.6″ LED monitor. Unlike the SonoScape E1, the Sonoscape E2 meets higher customer requirements in modes such as continuous Doppler, Tissue Doppler, Simultaneous, and Bi-directional Doppler modes. The Sonoscape E2 shares the same system architecture with the Sonoscape E1, however the SonoScape E2 incorporates more options that enable to better cover clinical applications and workflow.

The Canon Xario 200 Platinum is a compact and rich featured system that is positioned as a mid-range system. The Canon Xario 200 Platinum is designed to support a full range of applications and can be used as a general-purpose system or a specialized system, depending on the installed software. The Canon Xario 200 Platinum with Canon’s well-known extensive selection of 28 transducers supports a wide range of clinical applications including fetal, abdominal, intra-operative(abdominal), laparoscopic, pediatric, small organs, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculo-skeletal (conventional), musculo-skeletal (superficial), cardiac adult, cardiac pediatric, trans-esoph(cardiac) and peripheral vessel.
The Canon Xario 200 Platinum shares its platform with the Canon Xario 100 Platform. Both systems have the basic configuration as standard, but there are number of selectable options that can extend the use of systems for many clinical applications. The standard package of the Canon Xario 200 Platinum are as follows: 19-inch LCD monitor, LCD touch screen, DVD/CD drive, Wide View, Precision Imaging, ApliPureTM plus, and B/W printer mounting brackets (side-access type).
The Canon Xario 200 and 100 Platinum were originally developed from the Canon Xario XG, launched in 2007. With a couple of revisions and technology migration from the Aplio series and also integration of full-digital transmission and reception processing technology, the Canon Xario 200 and 100 Platinum became more stable and reliable. The user selectable options of the Canon Xario 200 are as follows: CW, 4D, Gel warmer, MD-TEE hanger, Wireless LAN, Stress Echo, CHI(Contrast Harmonic Imaging), Panoramic View, Differential THI, Precision Plus, Dynamic FlowTM, Superb Micro Vascular Imaging, Protocol Assistant, Elastography, Elastography-FLR, FLEX-M, Auto NT, Smart 3D, and Luminance.
Apart from those all selectable options, the Canon Aplio Platinum series supports total of 28 transducers including sector, convex, 4D volume, linear, micro convex, TEE, and Pencil transducers. Among those 28 transducers, the Canon Xario Platinum series supports 5 different intra-operative and biopsy enhancement transducers that can improve clinical productivity in interventional Radiology. Also available are motor-driven volume transducers for in-depth 3/4D Obstetrics and Gynecology applications.
The E-CUBE 9 DIAMOND the update version of E-CUBE 9 including Live HQ (GE’s HD live). Based on the migration of upper level platform, technologies, and features, the E-CUBE 9 enhances user value in each phase of daily practice, from patient registration to clinical review, as well diagnostic confirmation.
The Alpinion E-cube 5 provides image quality comparable to the GE Logiq P5 premium and similar premium entry level ultrasound systems at a much lower price together with a longer extended warranty. The E-cube provides excellent 2D image quality for OB/GYN, abdominal and MSK applications. It is very light, compact, and easier to maintain than similar console ultrasound machines with an exceptionally low power draw that could save thousands of dollars in electricity over the life of the system.
The E-Cube 7 by Alpinion is positioned as a mid range unit with pricing lower than normal for a mid range system. Alpinion’s strength is in its high image quality, excellent high-spec proprietary probes, and long warranty. Its powerful 3D engines provide solid information on the health of pregnant women and their fetuses as well as gynecologycal diseases. The E-Cube 7 is small and light compared to other mid-range console systems.
The Supersonic Aixplorer is the premier Elastography system available in Ultrasound today. Though it was not the first brand to offer Elastography, the major brands are trying to catch up with it’s proprietary ShearWave technology. This technology delivers impeccable image quality and enables ultrafast imaging and Doppler. Though the Aixplorer is a very specialized machine, it can do other general imaging, but is not as flexible as a Philips iU22, or Logiq E9 which also try to compete in this segment.
The Alpinion E-CUBE 15 is positioned on top of alpinion product line as a flagship machine. As a well-balanced shared service system, it can support a board range of transducers to be used in many applications and its high linear performance with Needle Vision and Panoramic image greatly helps to increase quality of dianosis and work efficiency in MSK and regional anesthesia.
The Sonoscape S2 is a low-cost color Doppler system with a 15″LCD monitor with a long list of advanced features such as spacial compounding, speckle reduction, 3/4D function, and panoramic imaging. Unlike other compact systems, the system supports two active probe ports on the system. It looks like Medison R3, but it has a huge advantage thanks to the internal battery.
