Additionally, a new version of Philips Xcelera WebForum allows physicians to view images and echocardiography reports via the Internet--be it in the ICU, exam room, their office or even on a home computer. Helping improve workflow and care, Xcelera WebForum provides a tool for physicians to distribute vital multi-modality images across their healthcare enterprise. Patients will now have their diagnostic scans more accessible at different stops along the care cycle, which could translate into quicker, more informed care and treatment.

Philips Ultrasound showcased the latest version of the iE33 echocardiography system that is driving fundamental changes in the management of heart failure patients. The iE33 is the first ultrasound system to provide cardiologists with accurate and reproducible EF (ejection fraction) readings and measure the wall motion and synchronicity of 17 different segments of the heart. The latest Vision 2005 enhancements, being shown at ACC, feature improved pediatric cardiology functionality, including a new pediatric Multiplane TEE (transesophageal echo) transducer; enhanced vascular capabilities; and new 3D synchronicity indices that help physicians determine which patients will best benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
