GE Vivid T8

The GE Vivid T8 ultrasound system optimizes the image viewing experience with its 19-inch LCD monitor and flexible articulated arm, a large 8.4 inch LCD touchscreen, and 4 active transducer ports. The Vivid T8 is also a lightweight system at 128 pounds, allowing for easy mobility no matter the situation as it was built as a “rugged” ultrasound machine and went through extreme dust and vibration testing in order for it to be used in more demanding situations.

For the shared services technologies, the GE Vivid T8 includes GE’s advanced Vivid and Logiq-series technologies such as:

• AutoIMT for automatic edge detection
• B-Flow for advanced spatial and temporal resolution to help assess blood flow and vessel wall structure
• Virtual Convex to extend the field of view when using linear transducers
• Blood Flow Imaging for enhanced visualization of blood flow dynamics
• LogiqView for increasing the field of view when imaging large organs or difficult-to-image patients

Historically, Vivid ultrasounds did not provide much in quality shared-services capabilities. And vice-versa, the Logiq series didn’t provide great cardiac imaging. Some machines performed capable shared-services, but nothing really focused truly on addressing shared services in full. The T8 is designed to address this market with a durable, mobile ultrasound machine.

Shared Services environments often require the machine to be moved to multiple locations. GE placed the Vivid T8 through difficult physical stress testing for vibration, as well as environmental tests in which a large amount of dust was introduced to the environment in which the system was being used.
