Small parts ultrasound
AI decision support for lesion assessment and outstanding image quality
Exceptional imaging and AI-powered workflows combine to help deliver confidence and efficiency in breast, testes and thyroid imaging. KOIOS on-cart* and off-cart AI support analyzes breast images using American College of Radiology’s (ACR) BI-RADs [1] or European U1-U5 classifications and thyroid images using ACR TI-RADs [1] or the American Thyroid Association (ATA) model, helping you assess lesions and nodules more consistently. XRES Pro + advanced image processing algorithm enhances speckle detail and border sharpness and expands gray-scale detail in small parts imaging.

Elevating small parts imaging
Philips has developed a complete ultrasound solution for small parts assessment, providing all-in-one functionality with exceptional imaging and complementary clinical tools.
AI-powered insights, exceptional detail resolution and intelligent workflow
- Benefit from an efficient experience with outstanding ease of use, improved image uniformity, [4] and reduced need for repeat scans. [5]
- Assess small parts with exceptional detail resolution and outstanding penetration, confidently guide needles during interventional procedures, and detect small vessel blood flow with minimal artifacts.
- Define structures with greater confidence and detect even small anatomical changes through enhanced sharpness and detail resolution and better border delineation.
Advanced tools for small parts imaging
- KOIOS AI decision-support tool classifies breast and thyroid images while scanning and provides on-cart* and off-cart automation to mark the region of interest.
- Philips eL18-4 PureWave transducer provides thin-slice imaging and incorporates real-time strain elastography and quantitative shear wave elastography.
- MicroFlow Imaging detects small vessel blood flow with high resolution and minimal artifacts.
- xMatrix technology enables 3D imaging of the thyroid.
- Next Gen AutoSCAN adaptively adjusts image brightness and reduces the need for user adjustment while improving transducer plunkability.[5]

If we can increase our confidence in the subtle diagnosis at the time of scanning, we can triage the subsequent investigation pathway appropriately and prevent delayed diagnoses.
