Philips Transducer C5-1

Philips Transducer C5-1

The Philips C5-1 transducer is a state-of-the-art, broadband curved array probe designed to deliver superior imaging performance across a variety of medical applications. At the heart of this advanced transducer is PureWave crystal technology, which enhances image quality by reducing noise and improving tissue penetration. This technology allows the C5-1 to produce crystal-clear images, even at greater depths, making it an invaluable tool in diagnostic and interventional procedures.

The C5-1 transducer operates over a wide frequency range of 5 to 1 MHz, offering exceptional flexibility in imaging. It features 160 elements arranged in a curved configuration, contributing to its extensive 111° field of view. This wide field of view enables comprehensive visualization of anatomical structures, facilitating precise and effective diagnostics. The PureWave crystal technology allows penetration up to 40 cm deep, providing optimal visualization of deep internal structures and enhancing diagnostic accuracy, even in the most complex cases.

The versatility of the C5-1 is further enhanced by its compatibility with multiple imaging modes, including 2D, steerable pulsed wave, high-PRF Doppler, color Doppler, color power angio (CPA), directional CPA, SonoCT, variable XRES, and multivariate harmonic imaging. These modes offer clinicians various imaging options, ensuring they can obtain the most relevant and detailed information for their specific needs. The C5-1 is also compatible with image fusion navigation techniques, allowing for increased precision during interventions.

Designed for use in a wide range of clinical scenarios, the C5-1 is suitable for general abdominal imaging, including adult and pediatric vascular assessments. It is also effective for bowel, obstetrical, gynecological, and prostate exams. Its biopsy capability and compatibility with image fusion navigation further expand its utility, making it an essential tool for guided procedures and enhanced diagnostic precision. The ergonomic design of the C5-1 ensures easy and comfortable handling, reducing user fatigue during prolonged examinations.
