EPIQ CVxi interventional ultrasound system

EPIQ CVxi interventional ultrasound system


Assessing the left atrial appendage quickly, easily, intuitively. The Philips LAA solution on EPIQ CVxi.

  • Take a fast, reproducible approach to visualizing the morphology of LAA and automatically measuring of the ostium by using ultrasound alone
  • Using the 3D Auto LAA feature can reduce the time of measurements by 70% on average compared with measuring the LAA features manually1

Echonavigator augmented visualization

EchoNavigator

 

EchoNavigator reorients and combines ultrasound and X-ray information into a single augmented visualization for guidance and device-tissue relationship assessment.

 

In LAA occlusion EchoNavigator enables the following to elevate confidence and boost efficiency:

  • Automatic segmentation of 3D ultrasound to derive the left atrium and LAA in order to optimize fluoroscopic projections and provide context for navigation
  • Manual markers automatically translated from ultrasound to fluoroscopy to keep sight of targets or critical structures to avoid
  • Live-on-live fusion of fluoroscopy and ultrasound including 2D, 3D and color flow, to visualize occluder deployment

HeartNavigator CT planning

HeartNavigator

 

The HeartNavigator is a CT planning and live overlay guidance solution using automatic heart model segmentation of anatomy to improve ease of use, speed and reproducibility.

 

In LAA occlusion, HeartNavigator enables:

  • Automatic segmentation of cardiac structures
  • Automatic orientation of the CT MPR to the LAA plane for easy analysis
  • Flexible and fast segmentation tool to define the LAA morphology
  • Flexible measurement tools for LAA device sizing
  • Table side recall of planned X-ray projections
  • Live overlay of segmentation to visualize landing zones, circumflex artery and other annotations
