Diagnostic and Vascular Ultrasound

EPIQ 5 is the new direction for premium ultrasound, featuring an uncompromised level of clinical performance to meet the challenges of today’s most demanding general imaging practices. Philips exclusive PureWave crystal technology is clinically proven to improve penetration in difficult-to-image patients. The pure, uniform PureWave crystals are up to 85% more efficient than conventional materials, resulting in exceptional performance. This technology allows for improved penetration and excellent detailed resolution. Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves that bounce off of internal tissues to produce images of the organs in the body. Since no radiation is involved, there are no documented risks associated with ultrasound. With our state-of-the-art equipment and highly skilled sonographers, we ensure that you get the best exam possible.
