Philips Introduces the HD11 Ultrasound System

Royal Philips Electronics has introduced an ultrasound system that provides ultrasound departments that serve a diverse patient population and have a restricted budget with advanced high definition imaging and sophisticated features previously unavailable in their price range.

Among its many standard features, the Philips HD11 ultrasound system includes real-time SonoCT compound imaging with XRES technology; broadband beamforming; 3-D, 4-D and STIC imaging; Stress Echo; panoramic and contrast imaging; and full networking capabilities. In addition, the system features advanced automation to improve workflow and reduce variability between exams, and the choice of more than 20 transducers for a wide variety of scanning needs.

The core of the HD11 system is its high-definition imaging. Its digital broadband beamformer with beam steering capabilities and powerful signal processing techniques, including Philips exclusive SonoCT real-time compound imaging with XRES technology, provide enhanced edges and margins for more sharply defined structures, reduced noise and speckle, and better visibility and contrast resolution of even the smallest structures.
