Philips Affiniti 50 Ultrasound System

- Fetal scanning
- Early obstetrics
- Gynaecology
- Strain elastography
Overview
The Affiniti 50 covers early obstetric exams and all gestational ages, including fetal work, and gynaecology, where Philips shows uterine tissue stiffness assessed with strain elastography. Fetal protocols can be built for all trimesters and for specialty exams such as trisomy 13 and 21, and the brochure shows 3D surface rendering on fetal spine, ovary and fetal feet examples.
On the hardware side, Philips lists a 54.6 cm (21.5 in) monitor, a tablet-like touchscreen and a weight of 83.5 kg. It says the system can be put to sleep in two seconds, then moved and started up again in seconds, and that it uses nearly 40% less power than its predecessor, the HD15.
Philips’ current product page names a variant of this system with its own name and extra tools, among them Auto ElastQ, CEUS and MicroFlow imaging. The specifications here describe the original Affiniti 50 in Philips’ brochure.

Philips Affiniti 50: questions
What makes the Philips Affiniti 50 a women’s health system?
Philips’ brochure for the Affiniti 50 is written for women’s health care. It lists tools for all gestational ages, fetal and early obstetric scanning, and complex gynaecological cases, including strain elastography for uterine tissue stiffness.
What does SmartExam do on the Philips Affiniti 50?
SmartExam plans and processes application protocols, with annotation, automatic mode switching and missed view alerts. Philips states that it decreases exam time by 30–50%; that figure comes from Philips’ 2016 brochure, not from Ultravision.
What is strain elastography used for on the Affiniti 50?
On the Philips Affiniti 50, strain elastography assesses relative tissue stiffness without external compression. Philips’ brochure uses uterine tissue stiffness as its example and does not state a diagnostic outcome for the technique.
How energy-efficient is the Philips Affiniti 50?
Philips says the Affiniti 50 consumes nearly 40% less power than its predecessor, the HD15. The brochure also gives its weight as 83.5 kg (184 lb) and says the system can be put to sleep in two seconds and restarted in seconds after moving.
