new 3D iSlice generation with
MRI-like views that are not
available with conventional
ultrasound. You can slice the
volume data set into as many
as 16 slices that can be viewed
simultaneously in several layouts
to optimi]e visual assessment
of LV regional function.
Seeing is believing
Valvular disease
Changing your perspective can make all the difference. Diagnosing and quantifying valvular heart
disease is faster and easier when you can capture exquisite views of the 3D heart in real time.
Through cutting-edge technologies, the iE33 system with Live 3D TEE helps you plan, monitor,
and follow up valvular procedures.

Live 3D TEE imaging in the OR provides fast and

comprehensive assessment of surgical procedures,
like this post-operative mitral valve ring with
exquisite suture detail.
Visualize, quantify, and treat
With Live 3D TEE, surgeons and anesthesiologists can see the
complete valve from multiple perspectives, while it’s beating, and
perform extensive quantiÀcation. The accuracy of the data means
you can have a comprehensive plan in place before the Àrst incision.
During surgery, anesthesiologists can use Live 3D TEE to perform
analysis and assess procedure outcomes. Surgeons can evaluate
function before closing and maNe further repairs if necessary.
When patients are ready for follow-up, cardiologists have clear,
accurate images and quantitative data from procedures to help
with care planning.
More information for interventional procedures
Access to comprehensive Live 3D TEE data and
quantiÀcation for planning patient treatment allows
more conÀdence in decisions to repair or replace valves.
Increased visualization of structures during catheter-
based procedures and accurate, fast quantiÀcation
for assessment while still in the cath lab enhance
patient care.
Live 3D in the cath lab provides exceptionally clear
visuali]ation of cardiac structure as well as this atrial septal
defect closure device.
QLAB MVQ 3D model allows objective assessment of mitral
valve structural and functional defects.
RedeÀning quantiÀcation
In addition to the amazing images of the mitral valve
with Live 3D TEE, QLAB quantiÀcation provides
analysis information not available with two-dimensional
techniques. Extensive image data coupled with QLAB
allows you to derive comprehensive analysis for critical
decision support.
In addition to three-dimensional views, Live 3D TEE displays
two simultaneous live D images and the ability to steer one
for viewing virtually any plane.
The iE33’s X7-t transducer combines xMATRIX 3D
technology with PureWave crystal technology, miniaturi]ed
for TEE, to reveal cardiac structure, pathology, and function
with exceptional clarity in views seen for the Àrst time.
Identifying the rhythm
Heart failure
As the end stage of many types of cardiac disease, heart failure affects nearly  million patients
worldwide, costing billions each year. Despite this prevalence, heart failure often goes undiagnosed.
Live 3D Echo and QLAB quantiÀcation tools help you accurately quantify and reproduce key
echocardiographic indicators of heart failure, to make more conÀdent diagnoses. Most importantly,
our D and Live 3D Echo tools are helping to Ànd answers to patients questions about heart
failure management.

If you can’t see it, you can’t diagnose it
Two-dimensional images acquired with Philips PureWave crystal
technology display Àne image quality and highly sensitive color
Doppler in both difÀcult and easy to image patients. Wall borders,
heart valves, and blood Áow are well deÀned, reducing the need for
repeat exams—or the addition of more invasive imaging tests.
More views for rapid assessment
With Live 3D Echo imaging you can interrogate the entire heart,
getting real-time 3D views of anatomy and function. These images
provide a complete assessment of global function and synchronicity
with more diagnostic information. With QLAB 3DQ, you can
conÀdently access data, crop and rotate images, in addition to
performing LV mass, volume and ejection fraction analyses. New
3D iSlice allows you to easily and quicNly slice and extract more
clinical information from 3D volumes than ever before.
Accurate LV volume and ejection fraction
Ejection fraction is the most widely used measurement to assess
cardiac function. Using Live 3D images and 3DQ and 3DQ Advanced
quantiÀcation tools reduces the problem of apical foreshortening
in two-dimensional calculation and enables you to easily align the
heart for better quantiÀcation and consistent serial examinations.
Accurate, semi-automated analysis of LV volumes with the iE33
system can provide a routinely accurate ejection fraction in under
a minute.
QLAB Tissue Doppler QuantiÀcation SQ and Tissue Motion
QuantiÀcation Advanced (TMQA) plug-ins offer a suite of
measurements and parametric displays, providing the information
you need for analysis such as ventricular wall motion and mechanical
synchrony assessments.

You can manipulate 3D views to identify the LV apex, reducing
the problem of foreshortening, as shown in this MPR display
using the 3DQA plug-in.
Strain QuantiÀcation SQ uses Tissue Doppler Imaging to
compare peak myocardial velocities as well as obtain displacement,
strain and strain rate information. SQ incorporates temporal
processing that makes waveforms easier to use for efÀcient
management of CRT patients.
Congenital heart disease

Thanks to advances in diagnostics, surgery, and

treatment, many children born with congenital
heart disease CHD are living into adulthood
and enjoying active lives. With dedicated
congenital cardiology capabilities, the iE33
system answers your need for high-performance,
non-invasive diagnostic imaging for these patients.
From fetal echo to mature adult, the iE33 system
