How to Perform a Full Volume Acquisition on a Philips EPIQ Ultrasound

www.usa.philips...
This video offers a step-by-step guide on how to acquire a full volume dataset on a Philips EPIQ ultrasound system. In this example, the X5-1 transducer is used with the apical 4 chamber view. Data can be acquired from different views depending on your target anatomy.
Full volume acquisition is used when larger volume of data is needed, usually including the whole heart as when performing an ejection fraction in QLAB.
Tips:
- Make sure there is a strong ECG signal with regular R-R intervals.
- Remember to adjust depth, focus, and iScan for optimal results.

This is a helpful and clear instructional video. It may be helpful to add flash cards that a sonographer can flip through while going step by step through the process of acquiring an optimized full volume as an alternative to playing this video beside the machine.

What's the difference between full volume and multi-plane ?

He doesn’t have the best EF tbh

[@RickstersHits]

It’s like 55%-60% closer to 55% tho. Still normal tho

[@mitchellalbrecht7115]

Exactly. Screen shows 2D full volume at 67%. 3D volume at 54 %@@RickstersHits
