October 15, 2008 - Philips is showing for the first time at TCT, the CX50 CompactXtreme ultrasound system, which brings premium technologies from the Philips iE33 system to a compact form.
The CX50 can be hand-carried or wheeled on its ergonomic cart into the procedure room to perform transthoracic or transesophageal echo with confidence, even on technically difficult patients. To address interventional and surgical planning for structural heart conditions, Philips ultrasound solutions also will feature live 3D TEE on the iE33 system, offering real-time 3D images of the beating heart before, during and after procedures.
