Philips EPIQ Elite Ultrasound System
Philips announced EPIQ Elite in February 2019 as a premium ultrasound system for general imaging and for obstetrics and gynaecology. It uses Philips’ nSIGHT Imaging architecture and a 24-inch HD MAX display.

- Vascular
- General imaging
- Liver and CEUS
Overview
In Philips’ Ob/Gyn material the system is paired with the V9-2 volume transducer, the eL18-4 linear transducer, TrueVue Pro 3D rendering and the aReveal A.I. and aBiometry Assist A.I. tools, with MicroFlow Imaging High Definition for low-volume, low-velocity flow in fetal, placental, uterine and ovarian vasculature.
For general imaging, Philips’ announcement described a first solution for vascular assessment and diagnosis, and its product page shows liver exams with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and a paediatric liver and kidney preset. Cardiology is not Philips’ stated positioning for this system; that belongs to the EPIQ CVx.
Configurations differ: xMATRIX transducer technology is available on EPIQ Elite Advanced and as an upgrade path on EPIQ Elite, so we confirm the configuration, transducers and software in each quotation.

- TrueVue Pro
- 3D rendering in which a virtual light source can be placed anywhere within the acquired 3D volume.
- aReveal A.I.
- Sculpts away the data around the fetal face automatically by recognising the geometry of the skull.
- aBiometry Assist A.I.
- Preplaces measurement cursors on selected structures to assess fetal age and growth trends.
- FlexVue
- Shows technically difficult anatomical planes, such as a curved fetal spine or the uterus, from 3D volumes.
- MicroFlow Imaging High Definition (MFI-HD)
- An enhancement to CPA mode designed to detect low-volume, low-velocity blood flow in fetal, placental, uterine and ovarian vasculature.
- xMATRIX
- Transducer technology that puts 2D, 3D/4D, Live xPlane, Live MPR, MPR and Doppler modes in a single transducer; it comes with EPIQ Elite Advanced and is an upgrade on EPIQ Elite.
- HD MAX display
- The 24-inch display, which Philips states meets the ACR display standard for diagnostic imaging brightness levels.

Philips EPIQ Elite: questions
Which clinical areas is the Philips EPIQ Elite positioned for?
Philips announced the EPIQ Elite as a premium system for general imaging and for obstetrics and gynaecology, including vascular assessment. Cardiology is not its stated positioning; Philips’ dedicated cardiology system in the same EPIQ family is the EPIQ CVx.
How does nSIGHT Imaging work on the EPIQ Elite?
Philips describes nSIGHT Imaging on the EPIQ Elite as a custom multi-stage precision beamformer combined with massive parallel processing, with the beam reconstructed digitally. Philips pairs it with the V9-2 volume and eL18-4 linear transducers for obstetric and gynaecological work.
Does every Philips EPIQ Elite include xMATRIX transducers?
No. Philips says xMATRIX transducer technology is available on EPIQ Elite Advanced and as an upgrade path on the EPIQ Elite, so it is not standard on every configuration. We confirm the transducers in each quotation.
What is PureWave crystal technology on the EPIQ Elite?
PureWave is a transducer crystal material, so it belongs to the probes rather than the console. Philips names the X6-1, C9-2, C5-1, C10-3v, eL18-4 and V9-2 among the EPIQ transducers that use it.
How do I enquire about a Philips EPIQ Elite in Dubai?
Tell Ultravision the clinical application (obstetric, gynaecological or vascular imaging) and the transducers you want, then call +971 4 294 9965 or use the quote form. Ultravision Medical Equipment Trading supplies Philips systems in the UAE and confirms the EPIQ Elite configuration in the quotation.
