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 GE Vivid E9 is the top-of-the-line premium cardiovascular ultrasound machine from GE. It has amazing image quality and the latest features including xMatrix and 4D cardiac. The E9 is the replacement for the popular and well respected Vivid 7.
Rent
The GE Logiq E9 is a premium shared service ultrasound machine capable of top-of-the-line women’s health and 4D imaging along with clear imaging for radiology, cardiac, and vascular applications. GE’s breakthrough technology with the Logiq E9 is XDclear, an imaging technology that uses advanced transducers with a single crystal, acoustic amplification, and cooling technology to improve image quality, especially at deeper penetration when image quality typically fades. For even higher imaging quality, consider a GE Logiq E9 with XDclear 2.0, which is GE’s full-featured system for general-purpose diagnostic ultrasounds.
The GE healthcare Logiq E9 is suitable for a multi-application clinic. Compared to other GE models like the GE Vivid line, which specializes in cardiovascular applications, and the GE Voluson line, which is focused on women’s health and 4D, the GE Logiq E9 can do both of these applications as well as radiology and general imaging. Conversely, medical professionals who plan to use the Logiq E9 system exclusively for one or two applications may instead consider the GE Voluson E8 for OB/GYN and 4D applications or the GE Vivid E9 for cardiac applications. The Logiq E9 has been in production since 2009 and is both stable and reliable, even in older versions dating back to BT11 (also known as R3 or revision 3). The starting price for a refurbished GE Logiq E9 is about $16,500 but could be as high as $26,500 depending on its condition, age, features, degree of use, and whether it comes with transducers, which could raise the starting price to about $19,000. Scroll down for more information about the Logiq E9, including specs and clinical image examples. Or contact Ultrasound Supply, a Probo Medical Company, for more information.

The Philips iU22 is a premium shared service ultrasound machine that offers superior image quality through xMatrix transducers that offer the best aspects of single-crystal and 4D transducers. In clinical settings, the Philips iU22 offers top-of-the-line image quality and features available for radiology, OB/GYN, cardiac, vascular, and specialty imaging applications, such as MSK, pediatric, and elastography. (For cardiovascular-specific applications, the nearly identical Philips iE33 is slightly better equipped.) The average price for a used Philips iU22 ultrasound is between $8,100 and $14,100, depending on the year of the system, its condition and degree of past use, and whether transducers are included in the package. While Philips has since replaced the iU22 with the more modern Philips Epiq 5 ultrasound, the price differential between the Epiq 5 and iU22 means the latter continues to be a popular choice for physicians who need high image quality at an affordable price. In fact, the iU22, which was launched in 2004, has a long history of improvements and revisions that have made it the gold standard for over a decade.
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.
