GE Vivid E90

The Vivid™ E90 is a premium 2D cardiovascular ultrasound system designed to help you rise above some of today’s complex healthcare challenges, such as helping to reduce non-diagnostic exams. By combining the proven breadth and performance of the Vivid product line with the cSound™ powerful, software beamformer image reconstruction platform, the Vivid E90 takes ultrasound to a whole new level – potentially helping to reduce non-diagnostic exams and cost of care.
Conventional ultrasound systems too often yield non-diagnostic exams. Recognizing this, GE has developed a new imaging platform called cSound. In a conventional scanner, ultrasound beamforming is performed by special-purpose hardware – a hardware beamformer. Conversely, cSound is truly a software beamformer. Data from every probe element/channel is acquired and temporarily stored in a “Local Big Data Memory” before being analyzed and processed by parallel processors similar to those found in many of today’s supercomputers.
