 Designed to set you ahead and help you
stay ahead, Philips Affiniti 50 ultrasound
system delivers innovation that responds
to the needs of a busy ultrasound practice.

Designed for balance

You always go above and beyond to provide the best care to your patients.
But you are expected to do so with less time, fewer resources, and higher
patient volume. To balance these many demands, you need diagnostic
information quickly but not at the expense of accuracy. You need advanced
functionality but not at the expense of ease of use. You need a system
that is ergonomic but built to last for the daily rigors of high patient volume.

Philips Affiniti 50 ultrasound system helps you achieve this aReveal A.I. automatic 3D segmentation
balance. It delivers outstanding image quality and advanced aReveal A.I. uses an anatomical intelligent algorithm (AIUS)*

and fewer steps. Its exceptional performance and intuitive

TrueVue with TouchVue interface – photorealistic 3D fetal

imaging at your fingertips
TrueVue offers a powerful 3D visualization tool that
produces highly realistic imaging of fetal and gynecological
anatomy. TrueVue features an innovative internal light
source that provides illumination at any location within
the 3D volume for exceptional visualization of anatomy.
The internal light source allows the freedom to adjust
the amount of light and shadow displayed on anatomical
structures to reveal subtle detail not obtainable with
conventional 3D rendering.

In addition, the GlassVue feature provides an early, more

transparent view of the fetal anatomy than traditional
ultrasound. The advanced 3D imaging tool goes beyond
the surface to reveal bone, organs, and other internal
structures. Users have control over the amount of
transparency in the 3D volume.

TrueVue features an interactive interface called TouchVue.

The TouchVue interface utilizes the Affiniti 50 touchscreen
to allow fingertip control of both volume rotation and internal
light source position directly on the TrueVue 3D image.

Comfort meets
competence
Philips leverages the experiences
of its customers to design Affiniti 50
to address the challenges of daily
scanning. We understand the reality
of tight spaces, high patient volume,
technically difficult patients, and time
constraints, and we’ve designed
the system with thoughtful details
to help lighten your workload. You won’t notice it’s there unless it’s gone, but users have
reported that easy clip, our innovative cable management
solution, keeps cables tangle-free and reduces damage while
decreasing cable strain to enhance comfort while scanning.
