5-3-3 VIVID E9 / VIVID E7 general description
VIVID E9 / VIVID E7 is a digital beamforming system. Signal flow travels from the Probe Connector
Panel to the Front End Electronics, then to the Back End Processor, and finally, the results are displayed
on the monitor.
System configuration is stored on the hard drive, inside the Back End Processor (BEP), and all
necessary software is loaded from the hard drive on power up.
A Physio module, the Patient I/O, is incorporated in the Back End Processor (BEP) to provide ECG
signals to synchronize cardiac ultrasound image acquisition. Other analog signals, from devices such
as treadmills (e.g. ECG and phono), may also be processed by the Patient I/O.
