OverviewElevate Plus introduces targeted innovations in AI, imaging, and connected workflows for Philips EPIQ Elite and Affiniti ultrasound systems. It is designed to improve imaging performance, streamline examinations, and support system management while preserving a familiar clinician interface.
Key benefits- Smarter imaging: improved image detail and lesion conspicuity to support diagnostic confidence.
- Streamlined workflows: AI automation reduces keystrokes, automates measurements, and accelerates exam steps.
- Connected performance: simplified system management and service capabilities to maintain operational readiness.
Highlighted features- Auto Measure Abdomen: AI detection of abdominal anatomy with automatic caliper placement for faster, consistent measurements; 93% agreement with expert measurements reported.
- Quad AFI: multi-view AFI for fast, consistent assessments; internal benchmarks report 72% time savings and 54% fewer keystrokes versus manual AFI.
- 2D Auto Cine / Auto Cine: automatically recalls the sharpest frame similar to the last frozen image to enable first-time-right imaging and reduce manual frame searching.
- xRes Pro+: enhances grayscale clarity and structure delineation to aid detection of small lesions and fine anatomy.
- SuperRes MVI Pro: improves resolution and microvascular sensitivity with a thinning algorithm, TTP mapping and quantitative perfusion analysis.
- Next Gen Auto Scan & optimized TSPs: improved automation and presets to simplify routine scanning and reduce manual adjustments.
- Refreshed user interface: simplified layouts, updated color scheme and optimized touchscreen workflows while remaining familiar to existing users.
Demonstrated results & user feedback- 100% of testing users reported Elevate Plus as more intuitive and user-friendly.
- 100% of testing users reported improved image quality versus previous releases when using Elevate Plus.
- Quad AFI: 72% time savings and 54% reduction in keystrokes reported in internal benchmarks.
- Auto Measure Abdomen: reported keystroke reduction and reduced scan time (example: up to 30% reduction reported by sonographers in testimonial testing).
- Auto Cine / Auto Scan: 68.9% faster first-time-right imaging rate in abdomen with Auto Cine in internal benchmarks.
Intended systems & compatibility- Designed for Philips EPIQ Elite and Affiniti ultrasound systems.
