Advanced TSI
Advanced Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI) on the Vivid 7 Dimension '06 provides quantification of LV synchronicity information. Time-to-peak data derived from TSI's simple-to-use "red-light / greenlight" visualizations let you quantify left ventricle synchronicity for heart failure patients or those undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)

Automated Function Imaging (AFI)
Cutting-edge research moves into your clinical lab with Automated Function Imaging (AFI), an easy-to-use tool for assessing and quantifying left ventricle wall motion. AFI (derived from 2D strain) delivers reproducible, systolic, quantitative segmental and global assessments of the left ventricle-quickly and accurately.

Real-time 4D Color Flow Full Volume
Assess hemodynamic information in color in real time in the same heart cycle - with the option of viewing a 6-slice cross section of the left ventricle.

4D Volume Quantification
Using the exceptional real-time full volume image quality produced by Vividô 7 Dimension, the 4D LV volume tailored package from TomTec Imaging Systems can provide a full assessment of the left ventricle, free of geometric assumptions and shape, in less than a minute.

Contrast Imaging
Enhance visualization of the LV border for wall motion analyses and ejection fraction calculations in multidimensional imaging and 4D full volume imaging.

6 Slice
The 6-slice view can further enhance full volume color information. The 6-slice view takes the full volume color information and creates 6 equidistant slices and the ability to focus on a specific region of interest.

Shared Services Imaging
From cardiac to vascular exams, Vivid 7 Dimension '06 is versatile enough to share its exceptional capabilities across a full range of clinical imaging applications. With innovative image processing techniques and new breakthroughs, the Vivid 7 Dimension '06 enhances your shared services imaging. Its clinical tools improve image quality and diagnostic confidence, to broaden your capabilities and expand your vision in diverse studies.

Blood Flow Imaging (BFI) gives you a better understanding and delineation of directional blood flow in vessels
IMT measuring technology dramatically reduces the time it takes to measure the carotid artery's intima-media thickness, which studies show may be an early sign of atherosclerosis.
More Vivid 7 Technologies
The Vivid 7 Dimension helps clinicians to accurately assess cardiac anatomy and LV function with raw data image quality, high frame rates, Coded Octave Harmonics optimized with contrast imaging, and advanced technology that have been setting the pace in echocardiography since the introduction of the very first Vivid system.

At the core of the Vivid family of cardiovascular ultrasound systems is GEís legendary TruScan imaging platform.With TruScan, the ultrasound data is digitally acquired and stored in a raw state to preserve the integrity of the data. The resulting pristine images can then be viewed, measured, optimized and analyzed from the system or workstation at any time, without losing any of the original image quality.

Multi-Dimensional and 4D Imaging
With multi-dimensional imaging, you can simultaneously acquire bi-plane and tri-plane images from the same heartbeat ñ without moving the probe's position ñ to get more cardiovascular information in less steps. By adding the dimension of time to three-dimensional imaging, GE delivered real-time 4D imaging. Now, the Vivid 7 Dimension '05 advances this technology to produce 4D images that are incredibly lifelike. Cardiac images look more like the actual heart. So your clinical partners and patients have a clearer understanding of what they are seeing.

9 Slice
Visualize regional wall motion in a whole new way by slicing the left ventricle of a 4D full-volume dataset into nine equidistant short-axis views.

IMT Breakthrough
IMT measuring technology slashes the time it takes to noninvasively measure the carotid arteryís intima-media thickness, which studies show may be an early indication of atherosclerosis. It allows you to streamline workflow and assess cardiovascular health faster.

4D CPI Breakthrough
Weíve enhanced your contrast imaging capabilities by adding 4D CPI (Coded Phase Inversion) on your 3V transducer. Now, you can get excellent sensitivity, resolution and tissue suppression in 4D imaging. Contrast agents enhance visualization of the left ventricular border for wall motion analysis and ejection fraction calculations in 4D.

Real-Time Full Volume
Real-Time Full Volume ñ constructs a complete 4D volume online during scanning, enabling you to see the information you are acquiring in real-time, for more complete and artifact-free depictions of the entire heart.

Tri-Plane Imaging
Tri-plane imaging ñ a first in cardiac ultrasound ñ provides a real-time simultaneous display of three images from the same heartbeat, ensuring a more accurate real-time assessment and quantification capabilities in grayscale, color and high-frame rate Tissue Velocity imaging.

Stress-Free Stress Echo
Stress-free stress echo with Bi-plane and Tri-plane imaging enables complete acquisition of all stress echo views from just two imaging windows.

Real-Time 4D Imaging
Real-time 4D Imaging ñ provides more cardiac information to help clinicians better communicate the heartís structure and function.

4D Tissue Synchronization Imaging
4D Tissue Synchronization Imaging (TSI) ñ propels Tissue Velocity Imaging to the next level by taking three simultaneous planes ñ from a single heartbeat at high frame rates ñ to create a flexible, dynamic 4D model with quantitative measurements to better communicate cardiac dyssynchrony.
