The Philips Medical EPIQ 5/EPIQ 7 ultrasound platform is one of the most widely used PC-based platforms in the ultrasound industry. The popularity of these systems has allowed me to provide on-site service and remote technical support for many common issues. Often, these problems don’t require a senior-level engineer to resolve, as they can be fixed without tools and completed by the end user or someone with minimal ultrasound experience. While this is just a small sample of common problems, my hope is to educate you with time and cost-saving information.
The field of radiology stands as a captivating domain, wherein we harness remarkable technologies to take care of our patients.
The MAGNETOM Free.Max MR scanner from Siemens Healthineers extends access to severely obese and claustrophobic patients with the first and only 80cm open-bore system while offering every patient an improved experience. The most lightweight, compact whole-body MR scanner ever offered by Siemens Healthineers at under 3.5 tons and less than 80 inches high, the MAGNETOM Free.Max has a novel magnet design that requires less than 1 liter of helium, contributing to reduced infrastructure and total cost of ownership.
Helium is a non-renewable resource, and its prices have increased in recent years for most users due to its scarcity. Transition to helium-free MR operations with Philips BlueSeal innovative technology eliminates helium-related complications, while delivering and clinical and operational excellence.
SIGNA Champion is a 1.5T wide bore platform that will improve accessibility to GE HealthCare’s breakthrough technologies at a competitive entry point.
