Voluson E8
Extraordinar yvision
Extraordinar yvision
begins with you.
Yo ur needs shape the futureofu ltrasound. It’s yourfeedback
that drives ever ytechnological advancement that has made
GE Healthcarethe leader in wo men’s health ultrasound.
Working together,wecontinually evolvethe Vo luson ®
family of products. It’s par tofour commitment to
empower you with extraordinar yvision so youcan
continue to provide extraordinar ycarefor your patients.

Thatmeans findinganatomical information that

couldn’tbe seen before. Confidentlyexploring fetal
images in theearliest stages. Distinguishing
the tiniest str uctures with the ultimate
clarity. Analyzing inany plane atany time.
Revolutionizing the wa yyou examine
ultrasound data from as ingle sweep.

That’s the power of Vo luson E8.

It’s designedwith the capabilities
and toolsof tomorrow to giveyou
the extraordinar yvision needed to
diagnose patients earlier and with
moreconfidence today.

enables extraordinar yvision.
We listenedtowhat you needed.And we answered
those needs with re volutionaryinnovations in
wo men’s health ultrasound. These arejust afew of
the Vo luson E8 advancements that enable you to
makec linical decisionswithenhanced confidence.
Innovations in image quality:
Speckle Re duction Imaging (SRI) heightens visibility of organs and lesions with high-
definition contrast re solution that suppresses speckle ar tifact while maintaining true tissue
architecture.
CrossXBeamCRI enhances tissue and border differentiation with an exclusive, re al-time
spatial compounding acquisitionand processing technique.
HD-Flow™ uses ab i-directional Doppler featuretoachieveamoresensitivevascular study
and reduce over writing.
Vo lume Contrast Imaging (VCI) allows for better image quality in either asingle plane or all
three planesof avolume acquisition.

Innovations in probe technology:

High re solution 4D endovaginal probe (RIC6-12D) detects the finest details earlier in the
firsttrimester andingynecology exams, enhancing yourdiagnostic confidence.
Wide sect or technology from cur vedarray probes offersalarger field of view,enabling
moreanatomical information tobe displayed in as ingle image than everbefore.
Matrix array probes provide increased spatial re solution for better visualization.

Innovations in image aut omation:

Sonography-based Automated Volume Count (SonoAVC ) automatically calculates the
number and vo lume of hypoechoic structures in avolume sweep.
Sonography-based Volume Comput er Aided Diagnosis (SonoVCAD) helps standardize
image orientation of the fetal hear tbyproviding views automatically obtained from as ingle
vo lume acquisition.

Innovationsin image analysis:

Spatio-Temporal Image Correlation (STIC) captures afull fetal hear tcycle beating in re al
time, and the vo lume can be saved for offline analysis.
To mographic Ultrasound Imaging (TUI) makes analysis and documentation of dynamic
studies easier with as imultaneous view of multiple parallel slices of avolume data set.
 Yo uinspired our design.
The Voluson E8 is built around you and designed for your comfort. That’s why the design is
small and light to effor tlessly movewherever you need to be. The display is stunning, giving you
extraordinar yvision with ease. The control panel height adjusts electronically at thetouchofa
button. The console ke ys areright whereyou wa nt them to be. It all adds up to an ergonomically
correctposition that’sincredibly customized by you.
