Expect the exceptional: New challenges call for a new standard
Designed for a new era. Designed for more.
Ultrasound is more valuable than ever with its expanding imaging role in the fight against COVID-19 and the increased demand for vascular and cardiac exams. Philips’ ultrasound portfolio, including EPIQ Elite, provides valuable diagnostic support for front-line care providers. When it was introduced, the Philips iU22 set a new standard in General Imaging ultrasound. The Philips EPIQ Elite system builds on this rich history, pushing the boundaries to meet the evolving challenges of premium ultrasound. With tools designed to elevate diagnostic confidence, this premium ultrasound system is our most powerful and high-performing yet.
The Philips EPIQ Elite General Imaging ultrasound system brings you an entirely new class of premium ultrasound, which means there is never been a better time to upgrade performance – with tools designed to elevate diagnostic confidence to new levels.
EPIQ Elite offers exceptional performance across multiple clinical disciplines in General Imaging and for shared services usage. It's time to expect more from premium ultrasound. Find out how Philips EPIQ Elite differs from Philips iU22 and EPIQ 5 and 7 below.

Advantage
(XRES Pro and MFI HD are only available on EPIQ Elite)
For enhanced confidence in diagnostic decision making nSIGHT imaging, provides extraordinary real-time images with exceptional frame rate, uniformity and penetration. Variable XRES and next-generation XRES Pro provides enhanced detail in sharpened borders and interfaces, and provide superb tissue conspicuity.
MicroFlow Imaging is designed to detect slow and weak blood flow, maintaining high frame rate and 2D image quality to reveal small vessel anatomy. MFI HD more than doubles the sensitivity and resolution of standard MFI, making it ideal for definitive analysis of blood flow throughout many pediatric and vascular examinations
EPIQ is designed to support all traditional clinical areas that use ultrasound and push the boundaries on new areas for use. All clinical packages and 33 transducers are available on EPIQ Elite, to support clinical versatility.
And it includes our latest innovations: the worlds first xMATRIX linear array transducer, XL14-3 for 3D/4D imaging, and 2D shear wave elastography for real-time color-coded quantifiable measurements for both curved and linear arrays. EPIQ Elite offers all-round capabilities with new transducers (eL18-4, V9-2, mC7-2, mC12-3) and functionality like the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm model. It also includes several anatomical and artificial intelligence features, i.e. AI Breast, aReveal, aBiometry Assist, Dynamic HeartModel and with Auto registration for image Fusion & navigation.

On-demand answers to your challenges, with the usage of Collaboration Live. Users can quickly and securely talk, text, screen share and video stream directly from the ultrasound system.
Deploy the right expertise when and where you need it. Remote guidance and decision support allow you to eliminate time wasted in switching physical locations, as well as limit exposure to infectious patients, while increasing productivity and improving the experience for your care teams and patients.
To help improve user posture and increase comfort during exams, EPIQ provides great ergonomic advantages, it allows independent adjustment of height, rotation and lateral movement of monitor and control panel. And the tablet-like interface results in dramatic reduction in reach and button pushes, with 40% to 80% less reach and 15% fewer steps**
(HD MAX display monitor is available on EPIQ Elite as option)
With 33% less weight and with a sleep mode battery backup, which enables 30 seconds to boot up/down, you can bring EPIQ nearly everywhere. While its library silent noise levels increases patient comfort almost anywhere.
The new immersive 24-inch HD MAX display monitor provides a full high-definition viewing experience to everyone in the scanning-room, from virtually all angles and its 350 cd/m2 luminance meets the ACR standard.
