New AI-Enabled Portable Ultrasound May Facilitate 50 Percent Reduction in Cardiac Imaging Scan Time
Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered measurement capabilities provide key features with the Compact Ultrasound 5500CV device, which will be unveiled at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) conference.
Emphasizing improved cardiac imaging workflow efficiency, Philips will introduce the portable Compact Ultrasound 5500CV device at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) conference.
The company said the Compact Ultrasound 5500CV’s AI-driven Auto Measure function provides 50 percent faster two-dimensional and Doppler cardiac measurements.

Offering full compatibility with X7-2t and X8-2T transesophogeal echocardiography (TEE) transducers, the Compact Ultrasound 5500CV device facilitates high-resolution ultrasound images for catheter-based cardiac procedures, according to Philips. Employing mMatrix transducers, Philips pointed out the Compact Ultrasound 5500CV platform provides a significant advantage over two-dimensional ultrasound methods by enabling simultaneous capture of two cross-sectional views with a single probe pass.
“By bringing premium-level technology into a compact, accessible solution, we empower clinicians to deliver fast, accurate diagnoses across diverse care settings, improving patient outcomes and expanding access to advanced cardiac imaging,” noted David Handler, the business leader of cardiology ultrasound at Philips.
