1 General Information
Introduction The iE33 Ultrasound System is a mobile, software-controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system for
cardiology and vascular applications. Its function is to acquire, process, and display ultrasound
data (Figure 1-1).
The operator can measure anatomical structures and generate reports for health-care profes-
sionals. The primary users are physicians and sonographers in clinics and hospital departments
that provide diagnostic ultrasound services.
The system has a basic set of imaging modes and measurement tools. There also are modes and
measurement tools that are available only when a specific mode or analysis package is purchased
and enabled for customer use. Upgrade security is controlled through the use of system-specific
passwords and software.
