Abdominal Ultrasound
A universal platform for abdominal ultrasound
Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975, contributing to a host of abdominal diseases.1 One subset of abdominal disease – liver disease – accounts for 2 million deaths per year.2 Because ultrasound is widely available, cost-effective and does not use ionizing radiation, it is a valuable tool for the assessment of liver and other abdominal issues.

Confidence in every system and every exam
Philips portfolio of ultrasound machines provides excellent imaging of the abdomen, even in technically difficult patients. The proprietary nSight Plus Imaging Architecture creates real-time images with exceptional resolution and uniformity.5 Philips exclusive technologies – including PureWave, ElastQ and Liver Fat Quantification (LFQ), Fusion and Navigation, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound – combine to quantify liver fat for the prevention, assessment and monitoring of fatty liver disease.
Quality, insights, workflow and support
- Image quality: Achieve deep penetration to successfully image the region of interest regardless of the presence of fat tissue.
- Advanced insights: Deliver evidence for treatment decisions and elevate your abdominal ultrasound capabilities with advanced insights, such as our comprehensive, four-part solution to assess liver disease.
- Workflow: Our ultrasound systems are designed for efficient workflow and ease of use, regardless of operator experience.
- Trusted partner: We offer support tailored to your needs, including comprehensive clinical application education.
Advanced tools for abdominal ultrasound
- Next Gen Auto Scan improves image uniformity, adaptively adjusting image brightness at every pixel and improving transducer plunkability by reducing button pushes by 54%.4
- Auto ElastQ is designed to improve the quality and consistency of the liver elastography study by providing assistance with the best frame selection and ROI location.
- Philips Fusion and Navigation enables fusion between ultrasound and CT/MR/PET/CBCT images in under one minute.5
- Philips contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) provides exceptional detail throughout arterial, portal and late phase scanning.

The widespread use of this technology in a general population could be helpful in screening for advanced chronic liver disease, especially considering that a complete study can be done in under three minutes using a non-invasive method for chronic liver disease.
