Improved communication and teamwork
Philips EchoNavigator helps improve communication and teamwork between echocardiographers and interventionists during image-guided therapy by automatically fusing together echocardiography ultrasound and X-ray images, while also enhancing understanding of the relationship between X-ray and ultrasound in an intuitive way that helps interventional teams to complete procedures with greater safety, confidence, and clarity.
“Cardiology teams across the world are facing increasing numbers of complex structural heart disease cases and are seeking new ways to deliver effective high-quality care despite staffing shortages,” said Karim Boussebaa, General Manager of Image Guided Therapy Systems at Philips. “By helping echocardiographers and interventionists to work together in even more highly coordinated ways, this new release of EchoNavigator is an important step forward in boosting patient throughput, making more efficient use of time and resources, and achieving positive cardiovascular care outcomes.”

Greater control for echocardiographers
EchoNavigator 4.0 puts greater control of imaging in the hands of the echocardiographer via the EPIQ ultrasound platform’s touch screen, including the ability to fuse and annotate echocardiography and X-ray fluoroscopy images. Anatomical features can be identified either manually or automatically, with anatomical markers and annotations applied to one modality automatically transposed to the other. Live fusion images, markers, and annotations are immediately visible to interventional cardiologists via the Azurion platform’s FlexVision Pro monitor to help guide catheterization and therapy device deployment.
Extended automatic modeling and transseptal puncture guidance
Additional context and guidance are provided by EchoNavigator’s automated 3D anatomical modeling capabilities. These include models for the mitral valve and its leaflets, and transseptal area models to help identify the optimum zone in the wall separating the right and left atrium where the septum can be punctured to catheterize the left atrium and mitral valve. These 3D modeling capabilities also allow EchoNavigator 4.0 to automatically select an optimal set of multiplanar reconstruction planes, with presets for optimally viewing the aortic and mitral valves and left atrial appendage.
