Philips HD 11

High Definition Ultrasound Made Simple
Clinicians are demanding smaller, higher performing systems specifically designed to meet their clinical and operational challenges. The new Philips HD11 system provides an uncompromising platform, plus advanced options, all in a highly mobile and easy-to-use product.

HD Platform
It starts with our most versatile ultrasound platform. From its digital broadband beamformer with proven SonoCT imaging to its powerful XRES image processing, every HD11 system is built for High Definition performance. This means enhanced edges and margins for more sharply defined structures, with reduced noise and speckle, for better visibility and contrast of even the smallest structures.

HD Options
The flexible HD11 platform empowers you to customize your system for your clinical environment, with options ranging from stress echo to panoramic imaging and contrast. It also allows more clinicians to experience the growing clinical advantages of 3D/4D imaging, 3D Fetal Echo STIC for evaluating fetal hearts during routine obstetrical exams, as well as specialized requirements for breast, transesophageal, pediatric, vascular, and musculoskeletal ultrasound.

Supercomputer signal processing
With its high-speed, vector-based architecture, HD11 achieves extraordinary computing power for exceptional spatial and temporal resolution.
Patented Fusion Signal Processing uses parallel signal processing to divide returning broadband signals into sub-bands and analyze each individual component. These frequencies are then compounded and optimized by patient criteria and the user?s need for resolution or penetration.
The HD11 system?s software-based image forming supports faster control panel selections, expanded automation capabilities such as iSCAN, and complex image processing algorithms requiring millions of calculations per second, for true High Definition imaging and color Doppler performance.

Broadband beamforming
Broadband digital transducers and beamformer capture and preserve the entire bandwidth of ultrasound signals to retain the quantity and quality of vital tissue signatures.

With up to 9,216 digital channels per image frame and advanced beam steering in SonoCT modes, the HD11 beamformer acquires up to nine times more broadband tissue information.
Extreme dynamic range expands the scope of signals upon which image and flow data are based, from the strongest to the weakest, for increased signal sensitivity and differentiation in all modes.
The system precisely steers and focuses ultrasound signals containing broad frequency bandwidths to improve axial resolution.

The following advanced modes and technologies are standard on every HD11 system:

2D with Pulse Inversion Harmonic Imaging, Philip?s patented method for producing pure, broadband harmonic signals for superb grayscale presentation.
3D imaging with multiplanar views, for qualitative freehand 3D images and interactive visualization through three planes.
Adaptive Color Doppler, which automatically selects the optimal Doppler or angio frequency for highly sensitive resolution, as well as Color Power Angio technology for assessing amplitude and direction of flow.
Pulsed wave and continuous wave Doppler with Adaptive Doppler technology to boost weak signals and reduce noise, and high PRF capability for measuring higher velocities than ordinary pulsed Doppler ultrasound.
Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI), including Color TDI to assess direction and timing of myocardial function, and pulsed wave TDI for velocity mapping of vessel wall motion and cardiac tissue.
