xMatrix Array Transducers
xMatrix array transducer technology provides volume acquisitions of the beating heart with
remarkable image quality. You can use these transducers to acquire two planes simultaneously
from the same heartbeat. The system's multi-directional beam steering lets you select
unlimited planes in all directions, so you can get the precise view you want, with no
degradation in image quality.
The following xMatrix array transducers are available with this system:
• X5-1 (see
“X5-1 Description” on page 177 )
• X6-1 (see “X6-1 Description” on page 178 )
• X7-2t (see “X7-2t TEE Transducer Description” on page 209 )
Use Live xPlane imaging to simultaneously create two
full-resolution planes. Use Live Volume imaging to acquire and render full
volume data at true real-time frame rates.
X5-1 Description
Features of the X5-1 transducer include:
• Operating range: 1.3 to 4.2 MHz.
• 2D xMATRIX phased array with 3,000 elements.
• 2D imaging provides a 90-degree field of view, while volumetric imaging is 90 x 90 degrees.
• 2D imaging modes with PW, CW, M-mode, Color M-Mode, Color, TDI, TDI PW and LVO,
xPlane, xPlane Color, and xPlane LVO.
• 3D imaging modes with 3D Zoom, Live 3D grayscale, Live 3D color, Live 3D LVO, Full Volume
grayscale, Full Volume Color, and Full Volume LVO. (All 3D imaging modes available with
one-beat and multi-beat acquisition.)
