Overview
GE HealthCare’s service shop describes the Vivid E9 as a cardiovascular ultrasound system built specifically for 4D imaging. In its FDA filing GE calls it a general-purpose system specialised for cardiac imaging, on a mobile console with a keyboard control panel, a colour touch panel and a colour video display.
The 2012 filing applies real time 3D imaging to transoesophageal examinations and adds the 6VT-D, a 4D transoesophageal transducer. It also lists two dedicated CW transducers, several real time 3D transducers and DICOM networking. We can advise on GE’s current Vivid E series systems and still service installed Vivid E9 units.
GE’s Vivid E series page for the Middle East does not list the Vivid E9, and the specifications here come from GE’s 2012 FDA filing.
