Executive Summary
"We're bringing the ultrasound system to the patient," Heinrich Beckermann, of Philips Healthcare, told Clinica at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, held in Munich, Germany earlier this month. He stressed that the CX50 CompactXtreme, launched for sale in Europe at the ESC meeting, is designed not only for portability but also to provide the same image quality as traditional, immobile ultrasound devices.
