Vivid Focus is designed to provide advanced 2D image performance for routine cardiovascular examinations.
The system shares the core imaging architecture of GE HealthCare's most advanced Vivid platforms, bringing high-quality cardiac visualization to a system optimized around everyday echocardiography.
Advanced post-processing helps improve tissue differentiation while enhancing visualization of fine anatomical details, supporting consistent imaging across a broad range of patients and examination conditions.
Vivid Focus incorporates GE HealthCare's cSound™ software-based imaging architecture, the same underlying technology foundation used across the new Vivid cardiovascular ultrasound family.
cSound uses advanced processing to optimize:
The technology is designed to help clinicians obtain reliable cardiac images while reducing the amount of manual optimization required throughout an examination.
Vivid Focus is optimized around the needs of routine cardiac assessment.
Rather than emphasizing complex 4D or interventional imaging, the system concentrates on high-quality 2D echocardiography, efficient acquisition, automated measurements, and straightforward operation.
This makes Vivid Focus particularly appropriate for cardiology practices and clinical environments performing routine transthoracic echocardiography throughout the day.
Vivid Focus supports transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for routine assessment of cardiac structure and function.
The system can support visualization and evaluation of:
Standard cardiac views can be acquired using compatible phased-array cardiac transducers.
Vivid Focus was introduced alongside GE HealthCare's new 4Sc-RS cardiac ultrasound transducer.
Designed for the pace of everyday cardiac care, the 4Sc-RS combines XDclear™ and cSound™ technologies to support consistent image quality across patients and examination conditions.
The transducer features a slim footprint with rounded lens and corners, helping optimize contact in apical acoustic windows while reducing pressure against the ribs.
This ergonomic design can help improve patient comfort while giving the sonographer access to the intercostal spaces required for routine transthoracic echocardiography.
The 4Sc-RS incorporates GE HealthCare's XDclear™ technology.
When paired with Vivid Focus and its cSound imaging architecture, XDclear supports detailed cardiac imaging across varying patient anatomies and acoustic conditions.
The combination provides the primary imaging foundation for routine cardiac examinations on Vivid Focus.
Vivid Focus supports both 2D cardiac imaging and color-flow imaging.
Color Doppler can be used to visualize blood flow in relation to cardiac anatomy during routine echocardiographic examinations.
GE also demonstrates the system using simultaneous 2D and color-flow imaging, allowing anatomical and blood-flow information to be visualized together during applicable examinations.
Easy AutoEF automates assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction.
The application helps reduce the amount of manual tracing traditionally required when calculating EF, allowing clinicians to obtain this commonly used measurement with fewer workflow steps.
Automated results remain available for clinician review and adjustment when necessary.
Easy AFI LV provides automated left ventricular strain analysis.
The application assists with myocardial assessment and supports evaluation of global and segmental left ventricular function.
By incorporating automation into the strain workflow, Easy AFI LV helps make advanced cardiac assessment more accessible during everyday echocardiography.
AI Auto Measure 2D uses artificial intelligence to automate commonly performed 2D cardiac measurements.
This helps reduce repetitive manual caliper placement while supporting consistent measurement workflows across users.
For busy cardiology practices, automation can help shorten the number of interactions required to complete routine examinations.
AI Cardiac Auto Doppler applies automation to routine cardiac Doppler measurements.
The technology is designed to reduce manual tracing and measurement steps, helping clinicians complete Doppler analysis more efficiently while supporting standardized examination workflows.
Vivid Focus integrates AI and automation throughout the examination process.
These technologies are designed to help clinicians:
The system brings several of GE HealthCare's established Vivid automation technologies into a platform specifically designed around everyday cardiac imaging.
Although Vivid Focus is primarily a cardiovascular ultrasound system, it is not limited to echocardiography.
Compatible linear and curved transducers extend the platform into:
This broader application support makes Vivid Focus particularly useful for physician offices and multi-specialty environments that want a cardiac-focused ultrasound system capable of handling additional examination types.
With a compatible linear transducer, Vivid Focus can support vascular ultrasound examinations.
Applications can include evaluation of:
Color and Doppler technologies provide additional information during vascular assessment.
For imaging outside of cardiology, Vivid Focus incorporates Clarity+ technology.
Clarity+ is designed to improve tissue differentiation and border definition while reducing image noise.
This can help produce clearer visualization during vascular, abdominal, and soft-tissue examinations.
Radiantflow™ enhances visualization of blood flow by providing a more three-dimensional-like appearance to color-flow information.
GE demonstrates Radiantflow on Vivid Focus for visualization of small-vessel detail during applicable non-cardiac examinations.
This can help clinicians appreciate vessel structure and flow patterns more clearly during vascular and abdominal imaging.
Compatible curved-array transducers allow Vivid Focus to support abdominal ultrasound.
This expanded capability can be valuable in practices where the ultrasound system may be used for more than cardiac examinations.
Available abdominal imaging features depend on the selected system software and transducer configuration.
Vivid Focus also supports soft-tissue ultrasound using compatible transducers.
Combined with Clarity+ image processing, this provides additional clinical versatility beyond the system's primary cardiovascular application.
Vivid Focus incorporates a straightforward interface designed to help clinicians work efficiently throughout a busy schedule.
Workflow features include:
The design helps reduce unnecessary interactions during routine examinations while maintaining the familiar Vivid workflow.
Vivid Focus allows users to switch between probes and presets with one-click controls.
This is particularly useful in practices where the system moves between cardiac, vascular, abdominal, and soft-tissue examinations.
Rather than navigating through multiple menus, clinicians can quickly transition between configured examination types.
The configurable touch panel allows users to establish personalized measurement favorites.
Frequently used measurements can be placed within easy reach, helping streamline examination workflows and reducing time spent navigating through menus.
Vivid Focus incorporates power-management features designed to reduce unnecessary energy consumption during periods of inactivity.
Configurable modes include:
These functions can activate automatically after inactivity, helping reduce energy use while maintaining workflow continuity.
This can be particularly valuable for physician offices and outpatient practices where the ultrasound system may remain powered throughout the workday but is not continuously scanning.
Vivid Focus supports battery-assisted operation, depending on system configuration.
Battery support can help maintain operation while the ultrasound system is moved between clinical locations, reducing interruptions when transporting the system between examination rooms or patient-care areas.
GE HealthCare's current Vivid cardiovascular ultrasound family shares a common technology foundation while providing systems designed for different levels of cardiac imaging complexity.
