Ultrasound Philips HD15

Product Overview

The Philips HD15 is a "shared-service" ultrasound system designed for a wide variety of clinical applications (abdominal, vascular, obstetrics/gynecology, small parts, etc.). 
Though originally introduced around 2008, many units (refurbished or used) are labelled 2012/2013.

Key Features & Technologies

• Next-generation architecture: high resolution A/D conversion, 4× parallel processing, and a broadband digital beamformer for enhanced detail and contrast. 

• Imaging enhancements:

  • Compound imaging via SonoCT for clearer detail. 

  • Adaptive speckle noise reduction (XRES) to improve margin/border definition. 

  • Microfine EX focusing: dynamic tuning with up to five times more focal points than prior generation. 

  • Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI) and Pulse Inversion Technology to reduce artifacts. 

  • 3D/4D volume imaging capability (e.g., volume data, STIC for fetal echo) in addition to standard 2D/ Doppler modes.

• Workflow / usability:

  • One-button optimization (iSCAN) for 2D, color & Doppler exams. 

  • Tissue-Specific Imaging (TSI) presets to automatically adjust transducer/exam type.

  • Active native data: allows manipulation of imaging parameters on stored stills/clips after acquisition.

  • Large 20″ LCD monitor (swivel/tilt) on many units.

Typical Applications

Because of its versatility, the HD15 is suitable for:

• General imaging (abdomen, small organs)

• OB/GYN including fetal, 3D/4D studies

• Vascular (carotid, peripheral)

• Small parts (thyroid, breast)

• Cardiac (adult/pediatric) — depending on configuration & probes 

Approximate Specifications

• Monitor: ~20” LCD flat panel. 

• Imaging depth: up to ~35 cm (probe-dependent) for many examinations. 

• Imaging modes: 2D, M-mode, B-Color, Color Doppler, Power Doppler, PW Doppler, CW Doppler. 

• Footprint / weight: Example data: 138-155 cm H × ~57 cm W × ~110.5 cm D; weight ~220 lb (~100 kg) reported. 

• Connectivity: DICOM 3.0, USB ports, DVD/CD-R/RW options in many units.
