Echocardiograms:
Let’s clear up a few things
Echocardiography makes up 74% of all cardiovascular imaging tests.¹ Yet 10-15% of TTEs are inconclusive due to suboptimal images.² It’s time for a new way.
Exceptional images are critical to help you deliver excellent patient care yet inconclusive echoes can be a challenge for many clinicians. Suboptimal imaging may limit the user’s ability to diagnose a patient’s condition, often requiring additional clinical testing – leading to financial impact and an inefficient care plan. cSound™, a new ultrasound image-processing platform, captures more information upfront for robust image quality - potentially reducing non-diagnostic exams and the cost of care
As economics drive more choice in healthcare, setting your department apart is becoming increasingly important. Patients and their families count on you throughout their care plans. Discover how new cardiovascular ultrasound technology from GE can help you.
Your patients trust you to get information quickly but conventional (hardware beamformer) ultrasound systems may lead to sub-optimal images. GE’s new cSound™ technology is a powerful, software-based beamformer image reconstruction platform that is designed to help you get to the heart of the matter by providing more information up front than conventional ultrasound systems – potentially helping to reduce non-diagnostic exams . Learn how cSound can help you maintain excellence in patient care.
