The GE HealthCare Vivid™ S70 is an advanced cardiovascular ultrasound system designed to deliver high-quality 2D and 4D cardiac imaging, sophisticated quantification, and broad clinical versatility in a compact, mobile platform. Built for demanding echocardiography environments, the Vivid S70 supports adult and pediatric cardiac imaging, transesophageal echocardiography, vascular studies, and shared-service applications. GE HealthCare’s Vivid S platform combines advanced visualization with automated measurement and workflow technologies to help clinicians evaluate cardiac structure, function, blood flow, and hemodynamics efficiently.
The Vivid S70 was developed as a cardiovascular-focused ultrasound system, providing clinicians with the imaging and quantitative capabilities required for routine through advanced echocardiography.
The platform supports detailed assessment of cardiac anatomy, ventricular function, myocardial motion, valves, chambers, and blood flow. Its combination of 2D imaging, Doppler technologies, and advanced cardiac analysis makes it appropriate for comprehensive cardiovascular examinations rather than only focused cardiac screening.
The S Series platform was also designed to provide high-end cardiac capabilities in a more compact and maneuverable system than GE HealthCare's largest premium cardiovascular platforms.
A major capability of the Vivid S70 is support for 4D cardiovascular ultrasound. 4D imaging provides volumetric visualization of cardiac structures, allowing clinicians to evaluate anatomy from perspectives that may not be available with conventional 2D echocardiography.
These capabilities can be particularly useful when assessing:
GE HealthCare has continued to expand these 4D capabilities in subsequent S70N generations, with the current S Series emphasizing full 4D transthoracic and transesophageal imaging.
The Vivid platform's Automated Function Imaging (AFI) provides advanced myocardial function assessment using speckle-tracking technology.
AFI can provide quantitative information about myocardial deformation and longitudinal strain, supplementing conventional measurements such as ejection fraction. This can help clinicians assess ventricular performance and identify changes in myocardial function during appropriate cardiac examinations.
GE HealthCare has continued to develop AFI across subsequent generations of the Vivid platform, including AI-assisted workflows for faster strain and ejection-fraction assessment.
Vivid S70 provides cardiac measurement and quantification tools designed to support comprehensive evaluation of heart function.
Depending on system software and configuration, Vivid cardiovascular applications support assessment of:
These quantitative capabilities help clinicians move beyond anatomical visualization to obtain objective information for diagnosis, monitoring, and follow-up.
Advanced Color Doppler and spectral Doppler capabilities allow the Vivid S70 to evaluate the direction, velocity, and characteristics of blood flow.
Doppler imaging can support assessment of:
GE HealthCare has continued to refine Color Flow performance throughout the Vivid S Series, with newer S70N releases adding improved spatial and temporal resolution.
With compatible transducers and system configuration, the Vivid S70 supports transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for detailed evaluation of cardiac anatomy when transthoracic imaging alone may not provide sufficient visualization.
TEE applications can support assessment of cardiac valves, chambers, atrial structures, thrombus, structural abnormalities, and other cardiovascular findings.
The Vivid S platform's combination of 2D and 4D capabilities also makes it applicable to advanced TEE workflows requiring detailed visualization of complex cardiac structures.
Vivid S70 supports a broad selection of transducers for pediatric, neonatal, and fetal cardiac imaging. GE HealthCare's official Vivid S70 probe documentation identifies applications extending across pediatric, neonatal, fetal heart, and transcranial imaging.
This versatility can make the system useful for healthcare organizations that need cardiovascular ultrasound capabilities across a broad range of patient ages and body sizes.
Although designed primarily for cardiovascular ultrasound, the Vivid S70 can also function as a shared-service imaging platform.
GE HealthCare's Vivid S70 probe portfolio supports applications including:
This broad application range can allow hospitals and multi-specialty facilities to use the Vivid S70 beyond the traditional echocardiography laboratory.
GE HealthCare developed an extensive probe portfolio for the Vivid S70, allowing the system to be configured around the needs of a particular department or healthcare organization.
Compatible transducer categories support cardiac, vascular, abdominal, pediatric, neonatal, fetal heart, obstetric, gynecologic, urologic, transcranial, and small-parts examinations.
This flexibility is particularly valuable in shared-service environments where a cardiovascular ultrasound system may also be used for general or vascular imaging.
Vivid cardiovascular ultrasound systems can be paired with GE HealthCare EchoPAC™ for advanced echocardiography review and post-processing.
EchoPAC provides access to advanced Vivid applications and AI-enabled analysis away from the acquisition console. It supports both 2D and 4D cardiovascular ultrasound analysis and can work with DICOM data from multi-vendor ultrasound environments.
This allows cardiovascular departments to separate image acquisition from advanced analysis and provides clinicians with additional flexibility for reading and reviewing examinations.
The Vivid S70 supports DICOM-based interoperability for integration with compatible imaging archives and clinical information systems. GE HealthCare maintains DICOM and IHE documentation specifically identifying the Vivid S70 platform.
This connectivity supports workflows in which examinations and associated data need to move between the ultrasound system, image archive, reporting environment, and other compatible cardiovascular information systems.
The GE HealthCare Vivid S70 is ideal for:
