Abdominal Ultrasound
Boost your abdominal imaging workflow with AI and automation for fast, high-quality exams
Combining AI-powered workflows and intelligent imaging enhancements, our ultrasound systems are designed to make abdominal imaging fast and easy, allowing you to achieve stunning image quality with high resolution and clarity. Now you can leverage AI to standardize caliper placement, that helps reduce inter-operator variability and decrease time needed for measurements. Outstanding gray-scale detail and penetration, plus tools that enhance speckle detail, border sharpness and overall clarity, help you diagnose with confidence.

Demonstrated results in Abdominal Ultrasound
Confidence in every system and every exam
Philips portfolio of ultrasound machines provides excellent imaging of the abdomen – even in technically difficult patients – while the latest release advances workflow with AI-powered tools that help reduce variability and support fast throughput. The proprietary nSight Plus Imaging Architecture creates real-time images with exceptional resolution and uniformity. [5] Philips exclusive technologies – including Auto Measure Abdomen, Auto ElastQ and Liver Fat Quantification (LFQ), Next Gen AutoScan, Super Res MVI Pro and Fusion and Navigation – ease assessment of a variety of abdominal issues.
Speed, confidence and operational value
- Advanced image processing enhances speckle detail, border sharpness and overall clarity. Deep penetration supports imaging the region of interest regardless of the presence of fat tissue.
- Thoughtfully designed AI-powered workflows help decrease routine steps and reduce inter-operator variability so you can move with speed and confidence.
- Connected services simplify system ownership and management, and a modular platform delivers ongoing innovation without requiring replacement of the entire system.
Advanced tools for abdominal ultrasound
- Auto Measure Abdomen uses AI to recognize abdominal anatomy and automatically place calipers.
- Auto ElastQ is designed to improve the quality of liver elastography by providing assistance with frame selection and ROI location.
- Next Gen Auto Scan improves image uniformity, adjusting brightness at every pixel and reducing button pushes by 54%. [6]
- SuperRes MVI Pro provides crisp, detailed microvascular imaging with higher sensitivity and deeper insights into tissue characteristics.
- Philips Fusion and Navigation enables fusion between ultrasound and CT/MR/PET/CBCT images in under one minute.[5]
