Philips EPIQ CVx Cardiovascular Ultrasound System
The Philips EPIQ CVx is a cardiology ultrasound system that combines EPIQ imaging with TOMTEC quantification tools and an OLED monitor. Its workflows cover transthoracic and transoesophageal exams for adult and paediatric patients.
- Transthoracic echocardiography
- Transoesophageal echocardiography
- Structural heart and interventional echo
- Fetal to adult congenital echo
- Vascular imaging
Overview
Philips’ brochure describes cardiac-focused, configurable workflows for transthoracic and transoesophageal exams on adult or paediatric patients. It lists interventional and structural heart echo with Live 3D TEE, MultiVue and EchoNavigator integration, fetal to adult congenital echo, and vascular imaging with the XL14-3 transducer.
Philips says nSIGHT Imaging more than doubles the frame rate without impact to image quality, and that the system consumes 25% less power than its legacy premium ultrasound while running at 37–41 dB. It has four transducer ports and a second-generation OLED monitor with a 180° viewing angle.
The features here follow Philips’ 2019 brochure (software release 5.0). Philips’ 2024 upgrade document lists newer options, so we confirm the configuration and software release in each quotation.

Key features
- nSIGHT Imaging
- Captures acoustic data from each transmit and reconstructs the beam digitally; Philips says it more than doubles the frame rate without impact to image quality.
- TrueVue
- Photorealistic 3D rendering with a movable virtual light source, which Philips says aids communication of complicated echo images in the interventional suite.
- Live 3D Zoom and Live xPlane
- Live 3D imaging modes available from xMATRIX transducers, with Live xPlane also on the XL14-3 vascular transducer.
- Dynamic HeartModel A.I.
- Shows moving contours for left ventricle and left atrium volumes and gives ejection fraction; the right ventricle is covered by 3D Auto RV.
- 3D Auto RV
- Fully automated 3D right ventricle quantification from TOMTEC that gives RV volumes and ejection fraction.
- AutoStrain LV, LA and RV
- One-button longitudinal strain measurements for the left ventricle, left atrium and right ventricle.
- EchoNavigator integration
- Connects to EchoNavigator (iXR) over the digital network link for Live 3D TEE with fluoroscopy.
- OLED monitor
- A second-generation OLED monitor with increased dynamic range, a wider colour range and a 180° viewing angle.

Philips EPIQ CVx: questions
What is the Philips EPIQ CVx used for?
Philips designs the EPIQ CVx for cardiology. Its brochure covers transthoracic and transoesophageal echo on adult and paediatric patients, interventional and structural heart exams with Live 3D TEE, fetal to adult congenital echo, and vascular imaging with the XL14-3 transducer.
What is the difference between Dynamic HeartModel A.I. and 3D Auto RV on the EPIQ CVx?
On the Philips EPIQ CVx, Dynamic HeartModel A.I. shows moving contours for left ventricle and left atrium volumes and gives ejection fraction. The right ventricle is covered separately by 3D Auto RV, which gives RV volumes and ejection fraction.
What does TrueVue do on the Philips EPIQ CVx?
TrueVue is photorealistic 3D rendering with a virtual light source that can be moved around the image. Philips says it aids communication of complicated echo images in the interventional suite. It sits alongside Live 3D Zoom and Live xPlane among the 3D tools listed for the EPIQ CVx.
Does the Philips EPIQ CVx connect to EchoNavigator?
Yes. Philips lists connectivity to EchoNavigator (iXR) on the EPIQ CVx through the digital network link, for Live 3D TEE together with fluoroscopy. The integration appears in Philips’ 2019 brochure for the interventional suite.
