Denver, COLO. - GE Healthcare has introduced a new ultrasound system designed to deliver the performance advantage of breakthrough technology in a smaller and streamlined package. The LOGIQ P5 provides the same exceptional image quality, productivity capabilities and reliability of GE's industry-leading LOGIQ systems. Its premium performance makes the LOGIQ P5 ideal for portable radiology department applications as well as private practices and specialized clinics. The LOGIQ P5 was showcased recently at the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) Annual Conference in Denver, Colo.

LOQIG P5 is the next-generation portable addition to the LOGIQ family, and includes advanced applications and mid-size maneuverability for smaller space constraints. The system also includes advanced image quality features that have helped establish GE's flagship LOGIQ technology as the system of choice:

* GE's patented High Definition Speckle Reduction Imaging (HD-SRI) feature, which heightens visibility of organs and lesions with improved, high-definition contrast resolution that suppresses speckle artifact while maintaining true tissue architecture.

* CrossXBeam spatial compounding, which enhances tissue and border differentiation with an exclusive spatial compounding acquisition and processing technique.
* 4D Imaging, which acquires three-dimensional images in real time to reveal the anatomical details with stunning image clarity.

"LOGIQ P5 brings everything clinicians love about the LOGIQ systems into a smaller package," said Terri Bresenham, vice president and general
manager of GE Healthcare's Global Diagnostic Ultrasound business. "GE Healthcare has re-imagined ultrasound by offering LOGIQ P5 and its advanced technologies to a broader audience, such as private practices, specialized clinics and community hospitals."

LOGIQ P5 is built on the industry's most advanced and proven system architecture, TruScan. This technology allows LOGIQ P5 to store raw data early in the imaging chain, which provides powerful post-processing and analysis. With access to raw image data, clinicians are able to compensate for variations in image acquisition to increase their
diagnostic confidence, while reducing the number of patient rescans.

The LOGIQ P5 also addresses sonographers' high rates of stress-related injuries. At half the weight and size of most console-based systems,
LOGIQ P5 is easy to maneuver in the tightest exam rooms. The new systems was designed with GE's exclusive SonoErgonimcs(tm) design, which includes ease-of-use functions such as a full-sized keyboard, hot keys and user-defined keys.
