GREATER DETAIL LESS EFFORT 

A busy practice does not have time to manipulate settings to obtain critical image detail. With the innovative Radiance System Architecture of the Voluson E8, you don’t have to – it’s all right there on the screen. 

The innovative design and powerful capabilities of the Radiance System Architecture take the work out of scanning and let you focus on the image detail for diagnostic assurance. 

• Advanced beam former design – enhancing contrast resolution by moving more functions from hardware to software 
• High performance CPU – delivering faster processing speeds and frame rates 
• Parallel processing – improving image quality and frame rates 

From superb 2D images to our new 3D/4D imaging technologies, you get excellent image quality with minimal effort and time. 

CLARITY WITH EASE

The Voluson E8 provides access to advanced rendering technologies that bring out extraordinary clinical detail and workflow enhancements helping simplify volume rendering – offering an easy, yet essential problem-solving tool.

HDlive™

On the Voluson E8, you have access to suite of HDlive technologies that bring unprecedented anatomical realism through advanced skin illuminating and shadowing techniques to help reveal a unique perspective for a higher level of diagnostic confidence. 

• HDlive Silhouette – Dynamically apply transparency to rendered structures for a more comprehensive view of anatomy from a solid surface structure to developing internal anatomy
  
  
• HDlive Studio – Illuminate anatomy and fluid with up to three independent light sources of variable color, intensity and direction to focus on even the tiniest of structures
  
  
• HDlive Flow – Clearly display vascular structures with greater dimension – from small vessels to the great arteries
  
  
• HDlive Flow Silhouette – Visualize blood vessels from a surface or targeted transparent view to provide greater insight into vascular anatomy and surrounding structures*

Advanced Volume Contrast Imaging (VCI) with OmniView 

• Advanced VCI – Adjusts slice thickness on 3D or 4D images to help enhance contrast resolution with use of render techniques such as bone and tissue renderings. Can be applied in the acquisition plane (VCI-A), static 3D volumes, or OmniView
  
  
• OmniView – Obtain any plane from a 3D or 4D volume by simply drawing a line, curve, poly-line or trace through a structure. This valuable technology enables views of even irregularly shaped structures not attainable in 2D imaging 

SonoRenderlive

Facilitate volume rendering with an automated placement of the render line for optimal surface rendering. SonoRender live continuously updates render line placement with fetal movement during 4D examinations.

INTUITIVE DESIGN ENRICHED WORKFLOW

GAIN EFFICIENCY WITH AUTOMATION

Every minute counts – with Voluson’s easy-to-use automation and enhanced protocol tools – you can simplify the patient exam process diminishing wait times and boosting patient satisfaction.

• Scan Assistant – Flexible, customizable exam protocol tool that helps increase exam consistency and productivity while documenting for quality assurance purposes. Helps guide you through an exam more efficiently aiding in annotation, measuring, and reporting, transferring data to an image management system or PACS based system on your order sequence and output requirements
  
  
• SonoBiometry – Performs semi-automated biometry measurements (BPD, HC, AC, FL and HL) to help reduce keystrokes
  
  
• SonoNT™ (Sonography-based Nuchal Translucency) and SonoIT (Sonography-based Intracranial Translucency) – Voluson technologies that help provide semi-automatic, standardized measurements of the nuchal and intracranial translucencies in the 1st trimester. Both tools can integrate easily into your workflow. SonoNT helps avoid the inter- and intra-observer variability that comes with manual measurements, and helps provide you with the reproducibility you demand
  
  
• SonoVCAD™heart (Sonography-based Volume Computer Aided Display heart) – By standardizing image orientation of the fetal heart, SonoVCADheart helps provide recommended views from a single heart volume or STIC acquisition
  
  
• SonoAVC™ (Sonography-based Automated Volume Count) – Innovative tool helps provide visualization and measurement of hypoechoic structures within anatomy such as ovarian follicles, fetal brain or sonohysterograms
