Cardiac ultrasound is aided by bendable TOE probe

Philips Healthcare cardiac ultrasound clinical applications specialist Beverley Harris, consultant paediatric cardiologists Dr Giovanna Ciotti and Dr Joydeep Mookerjee and Philips account manager for cardiac ultrasound, midlands and north west Gillian Nash.

Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital has added two Philips 3D iE33 cardiac ultrasound systems.  The new equipment has been used for a paediatric echo course, lead by consultant paediatric cardiologist Dr Joydeep Mookerjee, which included 3D scanning techniques.

Consultant paediatric cardiologist Dr Giovanna Ciotti said: “We are very pleased with the new equipment and in particular we like the TOE probe, which is a fantastic tool.  It is easy to use, with a very bendable tip and has a good grip when it is necessary to keep it in position.”
