GE Logiq P5 Ultrasound Revisions: BT11 to BT06
GE first launched the Logiq P5 in 2006. That first version was designated as BT06. “BT” is an abbreviation of “Break Through” and the number designates the year in which this version was launched. So the GE Logiq P5 premium BT08 was launched in 2008 and was in production till the next version in 2009, the Logiq P5 premium BT09. BT08 and BT09 added CrossXBeam and SRI as standard features and gave access to the 11L linear and E8CS endocavitary probes
In 2011, the Logiq P5 premium BT11 version was released and this is the latest version and is still in production in 2016. BT11 added support for the newer 3Sp adult cardiac sector probe, the 5Sp pediatric cardiac probe, and the 4D8c 4D micro convex probe. New options for Elastography, TVI, Stress Echo, Auto IMT, and SRI-HD were added. The Logiq P5 has always been a reliable ultrasound system, but the BT11 revision is especially stable because of its long 5-year history without the need for any further revisions! All this while the Logiq P5 premium became the #1 best selling GE ultrasound unit in production.
GE Logiq P5 Premium vs. GE Logiq P5 Pro
The GE Logiq P5 was launched in 2006 and was not labeled as different “Pro” and “Expert” versions like the earlier Logiq 5 had been. There was an optional “premium package” offered with the Logiq P5 BT06 that included CrossXBeam and SRI. With the BT09 version that premium package became part of the standard features and the Logiq P5 was renamed the Logiq P5 premium. This continued in the BT11 version.
GE Logiq P5 vs. GE Logiq A5
The GE Logiq A5 is a version of the Logiq P5 with black and white imaging only, without Doppler. This version can be upgraded via hardware and software to a full Logiq P5 though it is costly and rarely done.
Quick Comparison: GE Logiq P5 Premium vs. Logiq P5 vs. Logiq A5
Logiq P5 Premium: Monitor with articulating arm + 3 active probe ports + CrossXBeam & SRI
Logiq P5: Tilt/swivel monitor + 2 active probe ports + (limited with basic options)
Logiq A5: Black and white tilt/swivel monitor + 2 active probe ports + (No Doppler)

Advanced GE Logiq P5 Probes
The Logiq P5 premium supports a far larger variety of transducer options than any other ultrasound machine in it’s price range. Typically economical ultrasound machines only offer 4-6 probe choices. The Logiq P5 premium has 29 compatible GE transducer choices! This includes three mechanical 4D probes.
The Logiq P5 premium is great for Pediatric scanning: The GE 4D8C 4D microconvex is unique in this price range and the GE 8C Neonatal microconvex has a tiny 11mm scan head ! Pediatric cardiologists will appreciate 2 pediatric sector probe options, the GE 7S and GE 5Sp.
The Logiq P5 premium offers unusually broad choices for Urologists as well with two biplane endocavitary probe options ; the GE BE9CS and GE ERB. Biplane probes are able to scan in the X and Y axis without moving the probe.
The GE Logiq P5 has three compatible intraoperative linear probes that are super compact for use where a typical linear probe would not fit.
Cardiologists will appreciate the 5 sector probes and two non-imaging pencil probes used for listening to the heart and graphing the sound.
Popular GE Logiq P5 Transducers
The GE 4C convex is a second-generation transducer for the Logiq P5 that offers the best penetration and widest scanning field at a good price. The GE 11L linear transducer offers a high frequency that makes it good at MSK imaging while still functioning within the needed range for vascular work. The GE E8C is the most popular and least expensive endocavitary probe for the Logiq P5. The GE 3Sp adult cardiac probe offers a wide scanning range for a variety of patient types at an affordable price.
GE Ultrasound Machines Similar to the GE Logiq P5
The Logiq P5 premium is the successor to the older Logiq 5 pro and expert. The “P” in the Logiq P5 name stands for the “performance” series. The Logiq P3, P5, and P6 are all part of this same GE product family. The Logiq P3 is an economy system below it in price and features while the Logiq P6 is a midrange ultrasound machine very similar in look and features to the Logiq P5 but with greater power and a couple more probe options. The Logiq F8 is a newer design that is very similar in image quality and price to the Logiq P5 premium but that has a different focus. The Logiq F8 offers a larger monitor and a touchscreen but has a much narrower focus of applications and smaller selection of transducers.
Quick Comparison of the GE Logiq “P” Series
Logiq P3: 15” fixed monitor – smallest size – lower image quality – few probes
Logiq P5: 15” monitor with articulating arm – 4D option – 29 probe options
Logiq P6: 17” monitor with articulating arm – more channels/image quality – Matrix linear probe
Logiq P5 Competitors from Other Ultrasound Brands
The Philips ClearVue 550 is similar to the Logiq P5 in price but has a much more general focus and does not offer 4D or any of the specialty probes though general cardiac imaging is much better. The Siemens X300 has a similar price and a wide focus of applications but becomes more expensive for the options like 4D and cardiac than a similarly equipped Logiq P5. The Samsung R7 also competes with the Logiq P5 premium and has inexpensive 4D but no cardiac support as it focuses mainly on women’s health and general imaging.
The GE Logiq P6 provides a combination of performance, ergonomics, and value to help meet a broad range of clinical imaging applications, including vascular, abdominal, small parts, OB/GYN and cardiac. The Logiq P6 is a midrange ultrasound that looks similar to the lower priced GE Logiq P5, except the Logiq P6 has several additional high-end features. The average price for a refurbished Logiq P6 is between $6,500 and $16,500, depending on the model year, the nature of past use, the system’s condition, and whether it comes with additional transducers. Scroll down to view key specs and clinical image examples for the Logiq P6, or contact Ultrasound Supply to purchase this ultrasound.
The Siemens Acuson X300 is a mid-range cardiovascular and shared-service ultrasound system. It was intended to replace the popular Sequoia 512 ultrasound, which is still sold by our partner Providian Medical. The Siemens X300 balances mid-range technology and features with an affordable price point. A refurbished Siemens Acuson X300 ultrasound costs between $15,000 and $25,000, depending on the age and condition of the system, its use history, and what additional transducers are included with the system. At Ultrasound Supply, our machines start out at the lower $15,000 range.
The Samsung R7 was launched in 2011 as the Medison SonoAce R7. When Samsung purchased Medison later that year it continued developing the R7 and continues to produce it to this day, albeit in an improved form. The Samsung R7 is a reasonably priced diagnostic ultrasound system focused on women’s health applications. It features good 4D performance for the price. The SonoAce R7 was designed on the same platform as the SonoAce R5, but there are stark differences. Not only is the image quality much better than the R5, in 2D it also offers great 4D performance which is not available on the R5. The Samsung R7 also offers several midrange features such as the 19” monitor and Elastography that are not typically found on economy-priced ultrasound machines.
The Philips ClearVue 550, is an economy priced shared service ultrasound machine that’s strengths are good image quality and workflow efficiency. The ClearVue 550 was launched in 2012 as the replacement for the HD7xe and is positioned in between the ClearVue 350, which has no articulating arm, and the ClearVue 650, which offers more standard features such as 4D which are options on the ClearVue 550. The ClearVue 550 excels at obstetrics, gynecology, abdominal imaging and radiology where it’s workflow advantages speed up common exams. The Philips ClearVue 550 also has the best cardiovascular imaging available in the world at this price point.
The GE Logiq P3 is a compact economy OB/GYN and General imaging ultrasound machine targeted to a value-oriented audience. The Logiq P3 replaces the older Logiq 3.
